3 Wheeler Buggies A three-wheel buggy is great for tackling off-road terrain and provides a smooth ride for your child. They are also simpler to push and maneuver than a four wheel buggy especially those equipped with fabric slings or seat units, which are positioned tightly in the frame and deliver the most efficient shape and weight distribution. Stability A three-wheeler has great stability, which is why it is a great option for off-road walks (especially with an all terrain or off-road style seat unit). They usually have large front wheels that can deal well with kerbs and bumps as well as rough ground. Some even come with a lockable front wheel to give extra stability when driving on uneven terrain. It is important to remember that 3-wheel buggies have a lower center of gravity than 4-wheeled models, which can mean that they topple over more easily. The most reliable 3-wheeled pushchairs are designed with perfect design to ensure they stay steady in any weather. They must be able to pivot at a single click and be able to steer using just one hand, and have the front wheel rotate 360o which makes them ideal for maneuvering and navigating difficult terrain. Look for models that have pneumatic tyres. These are made to be able to navigate tracks that aren't paved and are able to withstand rocks, mud, gravel and more. Many all-terrain buggies come with an swivelling wheel on the front which can be locked for extra stability when you're dealing with rough terrain. A 3-wheeled pram is a great option for those who run and love to speed up the hill. This is particularly true if you intend to attach a car seat or carrycot. The Roma Atlas is a great example, with a world-facing seat that can recline flat and features a more comfortable 5-point harness and storage space for all your gear (plus an extendable 50+ sun hood). It's lightweight, compact and suitable for babies and can be used with the use of a car seat or carrycot. It also handles a bit of light jogging but isn't intended for serious runners. Weight If you are looking for a buggy to tackle difficult terrain, then you should pick one with large tires. They are designed to tackle dirt, cobbles, and grass tracks easily while providing a smooth ride. They're also ideal for jogging since they have built in suspension and are easy to move up and down kerbs. However, the trade off is that they are quite heavy to push. The Mountain Buggy Urban Glide 2 is the best 3 wheel buggy you can use on rough terrain (pictured above). This 3-wheeler is highly maneuverable because it has 16 rear wheels and the front wheel can be locked. It has air tyres that require occasional pumping and can hold a child up to 3. MFM reviewer Kath says that her toddler was awed by the seat shape and she was able to steer it easily with her 3-year-old in the seat. Another option that is great is the Baby Jogger Versa GT, with a movable handlebar and a hood made of high-quality with 50+ UV protection. It's also simple to get up and down kerbs and can fit in small car boots. It can also be used as a pram, with a carrycot or infant car seat for newborns and toddlers. Fabric slings are set inside the frame, not on top like modular seats. This design has an lower centre of gravity and a perfect height, making it easier to push and lighter to pop the kerb (you should never overestimate how often you'll do this as a new parent!) Seating The seating capacity of 3 wheelers is quite impressive and there are a variety of different choices to choose from. The included carrycot plus is perfect for newborns (which MFM reviewer Alice describes as a comfortable and cosy lying-flat bed that can be used in and out of the buggy). Older babies and toddlers will appreciate the large and comfortable seat unit with adjustable ventilation. The seats do not fully recline, but they can be lowered to the lowest position. This should allow your child to have plenty of headroom and space. A fabric sling seat is also available. It has the advantage of being set snugly inside the frame instead of over the top of the modular seat. This delivers a much lower centre of gravity as well as a perfect weight distribution. This makes it easier and lighter to push, particularly over bumpy terrains or curbs. MFM reviewer Kath really liked the way this kind of seat negotiated these challenges. In addition to a big shopping basket, this type of buggy usually has very useful features like an extended 50+ UV hood, an easy to use brake pedal, and a few bright, game-changing lights that pop up from the handlebars and can be placed in front of the passengers to ensure their safety when tackling tricky terrain. Alternatively, if you are looking for a single buggy that will adapt to your family's needs There's a brand new sport™ that's the first in the world to take a single newborn from the moment of birth and change to take two or even 3 once your baby has grown, all within the footprint of one buggy. Storage The 3-wheeled frame is much more stable and can be pushed with one hand. It's also better for terrains that are difficult to navigate. The shopping basket is smaller than a four-wheeler. A high-quality ATP will feature pneumatic tyres, a padded grip for added comfort, and a superb suspension. It should be able to accommodate a carrycot or a car seat, meaning you can use it right from birth. 3 wheeler pushchair discovered that the 3-wheeler frames didn't fit through their home's doors or car boot. If you're concerned about space, be sure to verify the dimensions of the buggy when it is folded before purchasing. 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. The iCandy strawberry sport is among the top of them that can be used as a single unit from day dot and then converts to twin buggies when your baby begins walking. Tyres Air filled tyres are made to provide your child with more comfort while riding by cushioning out bumps and uneven surfaces. You'll find these on pushchairs, such as the Phil & Ted's Sport which MFM reviewer Kath found to be “an outstanding ride for my toddler”. She also said that the grippy tires of the Phil & Ted's Sport made it easy for her to negotiate the kerbs as well as other obstacles. These tyres can sometimes prove difficult to maintain their inflation and need to be topped up frequently. They are also more vulnerable to punctures than foam tyres so you'll need to ensure that you have a repair kit, spare inner tube and pump on hand when you are you're out and about in your buggy. PU tyres are typically used on pushchairs since they are less expensive than air-filled tyres but are just as durable. PU tires are easily distinguished by their matte finish and soft feel. They also slide over flat and tidy surfaces. It's usually possible to identify the difference between air-filled and PU tire by running your fingers over each one. If it feels hard, then it's rubber and if it slides then it's a PU. You can also test whether your buggy is equipped with PU tyres, by sliding them onto an even, smooth surface. They should roll easily and fit comfortably into wheel hubs. Foam tyres can withstand the rough terrain of high-performance buggies. The downside is that the foam could expand and cause your buggy to appear less stable as it loses its springy feel. These tyres are also noisy due to the fact that they create a lot noise when you turn or drive around town.
