Undisputed Proof You Need 3 Wheeler Buggies

3 Wheeler Buggies

A three-wheeler is ideal for off-roading providing the most comfortable ride for your baby. They are also simpler to push and maneuver than a four-wheel buggy and are especially suitable for those with fabric slings or modular seat units that are placed in a tight position within the frame and deliver the most efficient shape and weight distribution.

Stability

A three-wheel buggy has excellent stability, which is why it's a good choice for off road walking (especially with an all terrain or off-road-style seat). These buggys often have oversized front tires that can handle bumps, kerbs and rough terrain. Some models have a lockable wheel on the front to provide extra stability when driving on uneven terrain.

It's worth bearing in mind that 3-wheel buggies have a lower centre of gravity than 4-wheeled models, which can mean that they topple over more easily. That said, the best 3 wheel travel system 3 wheel pushchairs-wheel pushchairs are designed with an ideal geometry and design to ensure they are stable in all conditions. They should be able to turn on a dime and be easy to steer using one hand. They also feature a 360o rotating front wheel which is ideal to navigate difficult terrain.

For extremely difficult surfaces be sure to choose an air-filled model also known as pneumatic tyres. These are made to handle non-paved tracks and should cope with dirt, gravel, and so on. A lot of all-terrain buggies have a swivelling wheel on the front that can be locked to provide greater stability when dealing with rough terrain.

A three-wheeled stroller is a great choice for those who run or enjoy walking fast uphill. This is particularly true if you are planning to attach a car seat or carrycot. The Roma Atlas is a great example, with a world-facing seat that reclines flat. It also comes with a new 5-point harness as well as storage space for all your gear (plus an extension of 50+ sun hood). It's light and compact, and is suitable to use from birth. It can be used with either the car seat or carrycot. It also allows for a bit of light jogging, but isn't designed for serious joggers.

Weight

If you're looking for a buggy that can handle the tough terrain, you need one with big wheels. They will be able to handle grass, cobbles and dirt tracks and provide the smoothest ride for all passengers. They're also good for jogging since they come with suspension and are easy to climb and descend kerbs. However, the trade off is that they are quite heavy to push.

The Mountain Buggy Urban Glide 2 is the most suitable 3 wheeled pushchairs wheel buggy you can use on rough terrain (pictured above). The 3-wheel buggy comes with 16 rear wheels and a lockable swivel front wheel making it extremely maneuverable. It has tyres with air that need to be pumped up every now and then. It can carry children up until the age of three. MFM reviewer Kath said that her toddler loved the design of the seat and found it easy to steer even with her 3-year-old son on board.

The Baby Jogger Versa GT is another excellent option. It comes with an adjustable handlebar, a top-quality hood that provides 50+ UV protection and an extremely high-quality hood. It's also easy to move up and down kerbs and can fit into small car boot. It can also be used as a stroller along with an infant carrycot or toddlers.

Fabric slings are set in the frame and not on top as modular seats. This design has a lower center of gravity at the perfect height, instantly making it easier to push and lighter to pop the kerb (you cannot think about how often you'll be doing that as new parents!)

Seating

The seating capacity of 3 wheelers is impressive and there are a variety of different options to pick from. The included carrycot plus is ideal for a newborn (which MFM reviewer Alice describes as a cozy and comfortable lay-flat bed that can be used both on and off the buggy). Older infants and toddlers will love the large and comfortable seat unit with adjustable ventilation. It's important to note that these seats aren't fully reclined however, they can be lowered to the lowest level that will still allow your child plenty of headroom and space to move around.

A fabric sling seat is also available. It offers the advantage of being set snugly inside the frame rather than over the top of a modular seat and this delivers a much lower centre of gravity and perfect weight distribution. This makes it easier to push, particularly on bumpy terrain or over curbs. MFM reviewer Kath liked the way this type of seat handled the obstacles.

This type of buggy has an extensive basket and other useful features, such as an extendable hood with 50+ UV protection, an easy to use brake pedal, and a few innovative lights for visibility which can be put in front of the occupants for improved safety on difficult terrain.

Look for a 3 wheel compact stroller-wheeler with 2 (or 3!) seats. This is the best option for your future and will help you save money. The iCandy Strawberry Sport is among the most well-known. It can be used from the day of birth as a single buggie and later converted into twin buggies after your baby is walking.

Tyres

Air filled tyres are designed to give your child more comfort while riding by cushioning out bumps and uneven surfaces. They are commonly used on pushchairs such as the Phil and Ted's Sport which MFM reviewer Kath said provided "an exceptional ride for her toddler". She also said that the grippy tyres on the Phil and Ted's Sport made it easy for her to maneuver around the kerbs and other obstacles.

These tyres are sometimes difficult to maintain and require having their air pressure topped up regularly. These tyres are prone to punctures, which is why you should always carry an repair kit and spare inner tube when you're out and about.

PU tyres are more commonly used on pushchairs since they are a cheaper option than air-filled tyres, but they are equally durable. PU tires are easily distinguished by their matte finish and supple feel. They also slide easily on uneven and tied surfaces.

It's usually possible to discern the difference between air-filled and PU tyres by running your hand over each one, if it feels hard, then it's made of rubber, when it slides, it's a PU. You can also test whether your buggy comes with PU tyres, by sliding them onto flat, clean surfaces. They should roll easily and fit snugly into wheel hubs.

Foam tyres are commonly used in high-performance buggies and joggers since they are able to cope with the rough terrain that's associated with this kind of pushchair. The downside of this is that the foam could shrink and make your buggy feel less stable as it loses its springy quality. These tyres are also noisy, as they make a lot noise when you turn and drive around town.
