3 Wheeler Buggies
A tri-wheeled stroller is ideal for off-road terrain and provides an easy ride for babies. They are also easier to push and manoeuvre than a four wheel buggy, particularly those with slings made of fabric or modular seat units that are tightly positioned in the frame and deliver the best design and weight distribution.
Stability
A three-wheeler has great stability, which is why it's an ideal option for off-road walks (especially with an all-terrain or off-road style seat unit). They often feature oversized front wheels that can deal well with kerbs and bumps as well as rough terrain. Some have a lockable wheel on the front for additional stability when driving on uneven terrain.
It's important to keep in mind that 3-wheel buggies can have a lower center of gravity than 4-wheeled models which means that they can tip over more easily. The most reliable 3-wheeled pushchairs are built with the perfect geometry to ensure they remain steady in any weather. They should be able turn on a dime and be easy to steer with one hand. They also come with the ability to rotate 360o on the front wheel which makes them ideal for navigating difficult terrain.
For extremely difficult surfaces you should look for an air-filled model, also known as pneumatic tyres. They are designed to work on roads that are not paved and can deal with mud, gravel, rock and more. A lot of all-terrain buggies have a swivelling wheel on the front which can be locked for greater stability when dealing with rough terrain.
A 3-wheeler is a good option for runners or those who prefer to walk quickly and uphill, particularly if you're planning to attach a carrycot or car seat. The Roma Atlas is an excellent model. It has an incline-reclining seat that is flat, with a 5-point harness, and plenty of storage space to keep everything you need (plus a 50+ extendable sun hood). It is lightweight, compact, and suitable to use from birth. It can be used with a car seat or carrycot. It can also be used for light jogging, but is not intended for serious runners.
Weight
If you're seeking a buggy that can take on difficult terrain, you should select one with big tires. These are designed to handle dirt, cobbles, and grass tracks with ease, while still providing smooth riding. They are also great for jogging as they come with suspension and are simple to climb and descend kerbs. The trade-off is that they're quite heavy to push.
The Mountain Buggy Urban Glide 2 is the most suitable 3 wheel buggy you can use on rough terrain (pictured above). This 3-wheel buggy has 16 rear wheels, and a lockable swivel front wheel making it extremely maneuverable. It has air tyres which require pumping occasionally and it can be used to carry a child up to the age of 3. MFM reviewer Kath says that her toddler was awed by the seat shape and she found it easy to drive with her 3-year-old riding along.
Another option that is great is the Baby Jogger Versa GT, with a movable handlebar and a high-quality hood with 50+ UV protection. It is also easy to move kerbs upwards and downwards and fits into a the car's boot space in a small size. It can also be used as a pram that comes with an infant car seat for newborns and toddlers.
Fabric sling seats sit snugly within the frame of the buggie rather than over it like modular seats. This design has an lower centre of gravity that is at the ideal height, instantly making it easier to push and lighter to kerb pop (you should never underestimate the amount of times you'll have to do this when you're a new parent!)
Seating
There are a myriad of options for seating in three wheelers. For babies you have the option to use the included carrycot and (which MFM reviewer Alice says is a cosy and comfortable lying flat bed that can be used on and off the buggy) and older infants and toddlers can use the parent or world-facing seat that is spacious and padded, and comes with adjustable ventilation. It's worth noting that the seats do not recline completely, but they can be lowered to the lowest level which will give your child plenty of headroom and room to move around.
A sling made of fabric is also available. It is advantageous in that it is placed within the frame, instead of on top as a modular seat. This results in a lower centre of gravity, with a perfect weight distribution. This makes it easier and lighter to push, particularly over bumpy terrains or curbs and MFM reviewer Kath was impressed with the way this kind of seat handled these obstacles.
3 wheeled pushchair of buggy has a large basket and other beneficial features like an extendable hood with 50+ UV protection, a simple to use brake pedal, and a few innovative lights for visibility that can be positioned in front of occupants to ensure safety when riding on rough terrain.
If you're searching for a single baby buggy that can adapt to your family's needs, there's the brand-new sport(tm) which is the first in the world to take a single infant from the moment of birth and adjust to take 2 or even three once your little ones have grown, all within the footprint of a single buggy.
Storage
The 3-wheeled model is more sturdy and can be moved with one hand. It's also ideal for difficult terrain. The shopping basket is smaller than a 4-wheeler.
A good quality ATP will have a top suspension, pneumatic tyres and a padded handle for your comfort. It should also be equipped with a carrycot and car seat so you can use it from birth.
The MFM reviewers noted that the 3-wheeler frames couldn't fit through their home's doors or car boot. If you're concerned about space, be sure to check out the dimensions of the buggy once it is folded before buying.
Choose a 3-wheeler with 2 (or 3!) seats. This is the best option for your child's future and will help you save money. 3 wheeler pushchair is one of the most sought-after. It can be used as early as day dot as a single buggie and then converted into twin buggies after your baby is walking.
Tyres
These tires cushion bumps and uneven surfaces to make your child's journey more comfortable. You'll find these on pushchairs, such as the Phil and Ted's Sport which MFM reviewer Kath discovered to provide "an exceptional ride for my toddler". She also said that the grippy tyres make it easier to handle cobbles and kerbs.
They can be difficult to maintain and require having their air pressure maintained regularly. These tyres are more susceptible to punctures, and you should always carry an repair kit and spare inner tube when you're out and out and about.
PU tyres are found on more pushchairs than the air-filled tyres, yet they're still as durable. You can tell PU tyres by their matte appearance and soft, smooth feel. They also slide over flat and tidied surfaces.
If you rub your hands over the tyres you can determine if they're rubber or PU. If it feels like it's moving, then it is a rubber or PU. You can also test whether your buggy comes with PU tyres by sliding them onto an even, smooth surface. They should roll easily and fit snugly into wheel hubs.
Foam tyres are able to withstand the rough terrain of high-performance buggies. The downside of this is that the foam may expand and cause your buggy to appear less stable since it loses its springy nature. The tyres can also be noisy, as they make a lot noise when you turn and drive around town.
