3 Wheeler Buggies

A three-wheeler is ideal for off-roading, offering a smooth ride for your child. They are also simpler to push and maneuver than a four-wheel buggy especially those equipped with slings made of fabric or modular seat units that are placed in a tight position within the frame to provide the best design and weight distribution.

Stability

A three-wheel buggy has excellent stability, which is why it's an ideal choice for off road walking (especially with an all-terrain or off-road-style seat). They typically have large front tires that can handle bumps, kerbs and rough terrain. Some even come with a lockable front wheel to provide extra stability on uneven terrain.

It's worth bearing in mind that 3 wheel umbrella stroller-wheel buggies can have a lower centre of gravity than models with four wheels which means that they fall over more easily. That said, the best 3 wheeler strollers-wheel buggies have the perfect geometry and engineering to ensure that they remain stable in all weather conditions. They should be able to turn on a dime and be able to be controlled with one hand. They also have a 360o rotating front wheel, which makes them ideal to navigate difficult terrain.

Find models with pneumatic tyres. These are made to be able to navigate tracks that aren't paved and should be able to take on dirt, gravel, rocks and more. Many all-terrain buggies feature a swivelling front wheel that can be locked to add stability when dealing with extremely rough terrain too.

A 3-wheel pram is also an excellent option for runners or those who like to walk quickly and uphill, especially if you're planning to attach an infant car seat or carrycot. The Roma Atlas is an excellent model. It features an incline-reclining seat that is flat, with a 5-point harness, and plenty of storage space to store all your gear (plus the ability to extend 50+ of the sun hood). It's compact, lightweight and suitable for babies and can be used with the use of a car seat or carrycot. It can also handle a bit of light jogging but isn't intended for serious joggers.

Weight

If you're looking for a buggy that can handle difficult terrain then you want one with large wheels. They can handle grass, cobbles and dirt tracks, while providing an enjoyable ride for anyone. They're also good for jogging since they come with suspension and are easy to get up and down kerbs. However, the drawback is that they are quite heavy to push.

The Mountain Buggy Urban Glide 2 is the best lightest 3 wheel stroller wheel buggy to use on rough terrain (pictured above). This 3 wheel double stroller-wheel buggy is very maneuverable due to its 16 rear wheels and the front wheel can be locked. It has air tyres which require pumping occasionally and it can be used to carry children up to the age of 3. MFM reviewer Kath says that her toddler was awed by the shape of the seat and was able to steer it easily with her three-year-old on board.

Another great option is the Baby Jogger Versa GT, which has an adjustable handlebar and a hood made of high-quality with 50+ UV protection. It is also easy to move kerbs upwards and downwards, and can fit into small car boot. It can also be used as a pram, with a carrycot or infant car seat for infants and toddlers.

Fabric slings are set inside the frame, not on top like modular seats. This style has a lower centre of gravity at the perfect height. It is simpler to push, and lighter to kerb-pop (you can't underestimate the number of times you'll do that as a brand new parent!).

Seating

The capacity for 3 wheelers is impressive and there are many different options to pick from. The carrycot that comes with it is ideal for a baby (which MFM reviewer Alice describes as a comfy and cozy lay-flat bed that can be used in and out of the buggy). Older infants and toddlers will appreciate the spacious and padded 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 setting which should still give your child plenty of headroom and room to move around.

A sling seat made of cloth is also available, which is placed snugly within the frame, rather than sitting on top as the modular seat. This provides a lower center of gravity and perfect weight distribution. This makes it much easier and lighter to push particularly over bumpy terrains or curbs. MFM reviewer Kath was impressed with the way that this style of seat negotiated these challenges.

In addition to a large shopping basket, this kind of buggy typically has some pretty useful features such as an extendable 50+ UV hood, an easy to use brake pedal, and a few game-changing visibility lights that appear from the handlebar and can be positioned in front of the passengers to increase their safety when traversing difficult terrain.

Alternatively, if you are seeking a single stroller that will expand with your family, there's the brand-new sport(tm) which is the first of its kind to take a single infant from day dot and then adjust to take 2 or even 3 after your little ones have developed and all within the footprint of a single buggy.

Stores

The 3-wheeled frame makes a buggy more sturdy to push one-handed, and it's also great for handling rough terrain. However, it does mean that the shopping basket can't hold as much as a four-wheeled buggy.

A good quality ATP will have excellent suspension, pneumatic tyres as well as an ergonomic handle that is cushioned for your convenience. It will accept a carrycot or car seat, which means you can use it right from birth.

MFM's reviewers have noticed that the 3 wheel baby strollers-wheeler frame won't pass through all doors of their homes or small car boots - make sure you check the dimensions of the buggy once it's folded prior to purchasing for those who are concerned about space.

It's worth looking for a 3-wheeler that can take two (or even 3 wheel travel stroller!) seats as your family grows - these are the best of both worlds and future proof your money. The iCandy Strawberry Sport is among the most sought-after. It can be used from day dot as a single buggy and later converted into twin buggies once your baby begins walking.

Tyres

These tires cushion bumps and uneven surfaces to make your child's ride more comfortable. You'll find these on pushchairs such as the Phil and Ted's Sport which MFM reviewer Kath found to offer "an outstanding ride for my toddler". She also said that its grippy tyres made it easy to navigate cobbles and kerbs.

These tyres can sometimes prove difficult to maintain their inflation and must be filled regularly. These tyres are more prone to punctures, so you should always carry an repair kit and spare inner tube when you're out and out and about.

PU tyres can be found on more pushchairs than air-filled tyres but they're just as robust. PU tyres are easily identified by their matte finish and supple feel. They also slide well on smooth and tightly woven surfaces.

It's usually possible to tell the distinction between air-filled and PU tyres by running your hand over each one. If it feels firm, then it's rubber and If it slides, then it's a PU. You can also determine whether your buggy comes with PU tyres sliding them across flat, clean surfaces. They should roll easily and fit comfortably into wheel hubs.

Foam tyres are typically used in high-performance buggies as well as joggers because they can cope with the rough terrain that's common to this type of pushchair. The downside of this is that the foam may compress and make your buggy appear less stable since it loses its springy quality. Also, these kinds of tyres can often be noisy as they make a lot of noise when you turn and navigate your way through town.
