3 Wheeler Buggies A three-wheel buggy is great for off-roading and provides an easy ride for your child. They are also simpler to push and manoeuvre than a four wheel buggy especially those equipped with fabric slings or modular seat units, which are placed in a tight position within the frame and provide the most efficient geometry and distribution of weight. Stability Three-wheeled buggys are extremely stable, making them an ideal option for off-road walks (especially when they are equipped with a seat that is all-terrain or off-road). They often feature oversized front wheels, which can cope well with bumps and kerbs as well as rough terrain. Some models have a lockable wheel on the front to provide extra stability when driving on uneven terrain. It's worth bearing in mind that 3-wheel buggies may have a lower centre of gravity than models with four wheels which means that they topple over more easily. The best 3-wheeled pushchairs have been designed with perfect geometry to ensure that they remain solid in all conditions. They should be able to turn at a single click and be easy to steer with one hand, and have a 360o swivelling front wheel that makes them great for maneuvering and navigating challenging terrain. Look for models with pneumatic tyres. These are made to work on tracks that are not paved, and should be able to take on mud, gravel, rocks and other debris. Many all-terrain buggies come with an swivelling wheel at the front that can be locked to provide greater stability when dealing with rough terrain. A 3-wheel stroller is an ideal option for runners or those who like to walk quickly and uphill, particularly if you're planning to attach a car seat or carrycot. The Roma Atlas is a great example, with a wide-facing seat that reclines flat. It also has improved 5-point harness and storage space for all your equipment (plus an extendable 50+ sun hood). It is lightweight, compact, and suitable for use starting at birth. It can be used with a car seat or a carrycot. It can also handle a bit of light jogging, but isn't designed for serious joggers. Weight If you are looking for a buggy that can take on difficult terrain, you should pick one with big tires. 3 wheel buggy are made to handle grass, cobbles and dirt tracks with ease, while still providing an enjoyable ride. They are also great for jogging because they come with suspension and are simple to get up and down kerbs. The downside is that they're a bit heavy to push. The best 3-wheel buggy for rough terrain is the Mountain Buggy Urban Glide 2 (pictured above). This 3-wheel buggy is very maneuverable due to its 16 rear wheels as well as the front wheel can be locked. It has air tyres which do need occasional pumping and can hold children until 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 3 year old riding along. Another option that is great 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 up and down, and can fit into the car's boot space in a small size. It can also be used as a stroller with a carrycot for newborns or toddlers. Fabric slings are placed within the frame and not on top of the frame like modular seats. This design provides a lower centre of gravity that is at the ideal height, making it easier to push and lighter to pop the kerb (you cannot think about how often you'll be doing that as new parents!) Seating The capacity for 3 wheelers is impressive and there are many different choices to choose from. For newborns it is possible to use the carrycot (which MFM reviewer Alice says is a comfortable and cozy lie flat bed that can be used on and off the buggy), while older babies and toddlers can use the parent or world-facing seat unit that is roomy and padded and does have adjustable ventilation. It's important to note that these seats aren't fully reclined however they can be adjusted to the lowest level that will still allow your child plenty of headroom and room to move around. A sling made of fabric is also available. It's a benefit that it is placed within the frame, instead of on top as a seat that is modular. This results in a lower centre of gravity and a perfect weight distribution. This makes it easier and lighter to push especially when you're on bumpy terrain or curbs. MFM reviewer Kath loved the way this kind of seat dealt with these obstacles. This kind of buggy comes with an enormous basket, along with other beneficial features like an extendable hood with 50+ UV protection, an easy to use brake pedal, and a few innovative lights for visibility that can be positioned in front of the occupants for improved safety on difficult terrain. If you're looking for a buggy that will grow with your family, the sport™ is a first in the world that can take in a newborn and then be modified to fit three or four children as they grow, all within one footprint. Storage The 3-wheeled model is more sturdy and can be moved by one hand. It's also ideal for terrains that are difficult to navigate. However, it does mean that the shopping basket can't hold as much as a 4-wheeler buggy. A top-quality ATP will have excellent suspension, pneumatic tyres as well as padding for the handle to ensure your ease. It will also be able to take the form of a car seat and carrycot which means you can use it right from the moment you are born. MFM's reviewers found that the 3-wheeler frames couldn't pass through their doors at home or car boot. If you're concerned about space, make sure you check the dimensions of the buggy once it is folded prior to purchasing. Choose a 3-wheeler with 2 (or 3!) seats. This is the most suitable option for your future and will save you money. The iCandy Strawberry Sport is among the most popular. It can be used as early as day dot as a single buggy and later converted into twin buggies after your baby begins walking. Tyres These tyres cushion bumps and uneven surfaces to make your child's ride more enjoyable. They are commonly found on pushchairs like the Phil & Ted’s Sport which MFM reviewer Kath said provided “an outstanding ride for her toddler”. She also mentioned that the grippy tyres of the Phil & Ted's Sport made it easier for her to negotiate kerbs and other obstacles. These tyres are sometimes difficult to maintain their inflation and will need to be topped up frequently. These tyres are more susceptible to punctures, and you should always carry a repair kit as well as an spare inner tube with you when you're out and about. PU tyres can be found on pushchairs as they are less expensive than air-filled tyres but are equally robust. You can tell PU tires by their smooth appearance and soft texture. They also slide easily on even and tied surfaces. You can usually tell the distinction between air-filled and PU tire by running your fingers over them, if it feels hard then it's rubber and when it slides, it's a PU. You can also check that your buggy has PU tyres simply by sliding the tyres over a clean, flat surface They'll roll easily and should fit snugly in their wheel hubs. Foam tyres are able to withstand the rough terrain of high-performance buggies. This can make your buggy less stable since the foam loses its springy nature. Additionally, these kinds of tyres can often be noisy as they make lots of noise when you turn and make your way around town.
