3 Wheeler Buggies

A three-wheeler is ideal for rough terrain, offering an easy ride for your infant. They are also easier to push and maneuver than a four-wheel buggy, especially those with fabric sling seats or modular seat units that are positioned perfectly in the frame, offering the best 3 wheel stroller travel system ergonomics and weight distribution.

Stability

A three-wheeler has great stability, which is why it's an ideal option for off-road walking (especially with an all terrain or off-road-style seat). They often feature oversized front wheels, which can cope well with kerbs and bumps as well as rough terrain. Some have a lockable wheels on the front for extra stability when driving on uneven terrain.

It's important to keep in mind that 3 Wheel Stroller With Infant Car Seat-wheel buggies can have a lower centre of gravity than models with four wheels and this can mean that they topple over more easily. The best 3-wheeled pushchairs are designed with perfect design to ensure they stay solid in all conditions. 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 that makes them great for manoeuvring and navigating difficult terrain.

For surfaces that are extremely challenging be sure to choose a model with air-filled tyres, also known as pneumatic tyres, which are made to handle non-paved tracks and are able to deal with mud, gravel, rock and so on. A lot of all-terrain buggies have an swivelling wheel at the front that can be locked to provide extra stability when you're dealing with rough terrain.

A tri-wheeled pram is a great choice for those who run and like to walk fast uphill. This is especially true if you plan to attach a car seat or carrycot. The Roma Atlas is an excellent example. It features an incline-reclining seat that is flat, with a 5-point harness, and plenty of storage space to keep all your gear (plus a 50+ extendable sun hood). It's light, compact and suitable for infants and can be used in conjunction with a carrycot or car seat. It can also handle a bit of light jogging, but isn't designed for serious runners.

Weight

If you're seeking a buggy that will take on tricky terrain then you want one with big wheels. They will be able to handle cobbles, grass, and dirt tracks while providing the smoothest ride for any passenger.

The best 3-wheel buggy for rough terrain is the Mountain Buggy Urban Glide 2 (pictured above). This 3-wheel buggy has 16 rear wheels, and an swivel wheel lockable to the front which makes it very maneuverable. It has tyres with air that require pumping regularly. It can accommodate children up until the age of three. MFM reviewer Kath says that her toddler was awed by the seat shape and she found steering it easy even with her 3 year old riding along.

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

Sling seats made of fabric fit snugly within the frame of the buggie instead of over it like modular seats. This style has a lower centre-of-gravity at the ideal height. It is simpler to push, and lighter to kerb-pop (you can't underestimate the number of times you will do that as a new parent!).

Seating

There are a myriad of options for seating in 3 wheelers. For babies, there is the option to use the included carrycot plus (which MFM reviewer Alice says is a comfortable and cozy lie flat bed that can be used both on and off the buggy) and older infants and toddlers can be seated in the world-facing or parent facing seat unit that is roomy and cushioned and has adjustable ventilation. It's worth noting that the seats do not recline completely however, they can be lowered to the lowest level which will give your child plenty of headroom and space to move around.

A sling made of fabric is also available. It's a benefit that it is located within the frame, instead of being placed on top of it as a seat that is modular. This results in a lower centre of gravity, with a perfect weight distribution. This makes it easier to push, especially over bumpy terrain and curbs. MFM reviewer Kath liked the way this type of seat handled challenges.

Alongside a huge shopping basket, this kind of buggy generally has very useful features like an extended 50+ UV hood, a simple brake pedal, and a few games-changing visibility lights that pop up from the handlebars and can be placed in front of the passengers to ensure their safety when they are tackling difficult terrain.

Tyres

They are typically used on pushchairs such as the Phil and Ted's Sport which MFM reviewer Kath said provided "an amazing ride for her toddler". She also noted that the grippy tires of the Phil & Ted's Sport made it easy for her to navigate kerbs and other obstacles.

They can be difficult to maintain and will require having their air pressure maintained regularly. They are also more susceptible to punctures than foam tyres, so you'll need to make sure that you have repair kits, spare inner tube and pump in case you go out and about with your buggy.

PU tyres are typically used on pushchairs since they are less expensive than air-filled tyres but are equally robust. PU tire are easily identifiable by their matte finish and supple feel. They also slide easily on even and tied surfaces.

If you rub your hands over the tyres you can tell if they are PU or rubber. If it feels like it's sliding, then it is a rubber or PU. You can also determine whether your buggy is equipped with PU tyres by sliding them across flat, clean surfaces. They should roll easily and fit comfortably into wheel hubs.

Foam tyres can withstand the rough terrain of high-performance buggies. This can make your buggy less stable since the foam will lose its springy quality. These tyres are also noisy due to the fact that they create a lot noise when you turn or drive around the town.
