3 Wheeler Buggies

A tri-wheeled stroller is ideal for off-roading and provides an easy ride for babies. They can also be easier to push and maneuver than a four-wheeler, especially those with fabric slings or modular seat units that are positioned perfectly in the frame, delivering the best ergonomics and weight distribution.

Stability

A three-wheel buggy has excellent stability, which is the reason it is a great choice for off road walking (especially with an all terrain or off-road style seat). These types of buggys typically have large front tires that are able to handle bumps, kerbs, and rough terrain. Some have a lockable wheel on the front for additional stability when driving on uneven terrain.

It's important to remember that 3-wheel buggies have a lower center of gravity than 4-wheeled versions and, therefore, could fall more easily. However, the most reliable 3 wheeler pushchairs from birth-wheel pushchairs have perfect geometry and engineering to ensure they are stable in all conditions. They should be able to turn on a dime, be easy to steer using just one hand, and feature a 360o swivelling front wheel which makes them ideal for maneuvering and navigating difficult terrain.

Find models with pneumatic tyres. They are made to work on tracks that are not paved, and should be able to handle rocks, mud, gravel, etc. Many all-terrain buggies come with a swivelling wheel on the front which can be locked for 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 connect an infant car seat or carrycot. The Roma Atlas is a great example, offering a world-facing seat that reclines flat and features a more comfortable 5-point harness and storage space for all your kit (plus an extension of 50+ sun hood). It is lightweight compact and safe for use starting at birth. It can be used with either the car seat or carrycot. It also allows for a bit of moderate jogging, but it's not designed for serious joggers.

The Mountain Buggy Urban Glide 2 is the best 3 wheel buggy you can use on rough terrain (pictured above). This 3 wheel stroller reversible seat-wheeler has 16 rear wheels with an swivel wheel lockable to the front which makes it very maneuverable. It has air tyres, which do need occasional pumping and it can be used to carry a child up to the age of 3. MFM reviewer Kath said that her toddler enjoyed the design of the seat and found it easy to steer even with her 3-year-old son on the board.

The Baby Jogger Versa GT is another great option. It comes with an adjustable handlebar, a high-quality hood that offers 50+ UV protection as well as an extremely high-quality hood. It's also easy to get up and down kerbs, and it can fit into small car boot. It can also be used as a pram, with an infant car seat for newborns and toddlers.

Fabric slings are placed in the frame, not on top like modular seats. This style has a lower centre-of-gravity, which is the perfect height. It is easier to push, and lighter to kerb-pop (you cannot underestimate how many times you will do that as a new parent!).

Seating

The capacity for 3 wheelers is quite impressive, and there are a number of different options to pick from. The included carrycot plus is ideal for a baby (which MFM reviewer Alice describes as a comfy and cozy lying-flat bed that can be used on and off the buggy). Older infants and toddlers will appreciate the spacious and padded seat with adjustable ventilation. The seats do not recline fully, but they can be lowered to the lowest setting. This should still allow your child to have plenty of room and headroom.

A sling seat made of cloth is also available, which offers the advantage of being set snugly inside the frame, rather than sitting on top as a modular seat and this provides a lower center of gravity and a perfect weight distribution. This makes it easier and lighter to push especially over bumpy terrain or curbs. MFM reviewer Kath really liked the way this type of seat handled these challenges.

Alongside a huge shopping basket, this type of buggy usually has very useful features like an extended 50+ UV hood, an easy to use brake pedal and some game-changing visibility lights that come up from the handlebar and can be positioned directly in front of the occupants to improve their safety when traversing difficult terrain.

Look for a 3-wheeler with 2 (or 3 wheel stroller for running!) seats. seats when your family grows. These are the best of both worlds and future proof your money. The iCandy strawberry sport is among the most popular; it can be used as a single from day dot, and then transforms to a twin buggies when your baby starts walking.

Tyres

These tires cushion bumps and uneven surfaces to make your child's ride more comfortable. They are typically found on pushchairs like the Phil and Ted's Sport, which MFM reviewer Kath said was "an outstanding ride for her toddler". She also noted that the grippy tyres on it made it easy to tackle kerbs and cobbles.

They can be difficult to maintain and need to be topped up frequently. They are also more susceptible to punctures than foam tyres so you'll need to make sure that you have a repair kit with spare tubes and a pump handy when you're out and about in your buggy.

PU tyres are more commonly used on pushchairs because they are less expensive than tyres filled with air, but they are equally robust. You can recognise PU tire treads by their matte appearance and soft, smooth feel. They also slide easily on even and tied surfaces.

It's usually possible to identify the difference between air-filled and PU tyres by running your hand over each one. If it feels hard then it's rubber and If it slides, then it's a PU. You can also verify whether your buggy has PU tyres by sliding the tyres onto a clean, flat surface - they'll be able to roll easily and should fit comfortably in their wheel hubs.

Foam tyres are commonly used in high-performance buggies and Joggers due to their ability to deal with the rough terrain associated with this kind of pushchair. This could make your buggy less stable since the foam will lose its springy quality. These tyres also make a lot of noise due to the fact that they create a lot noise when you turn and navigate around town.
