3 Wheeler BuggiesA tri-wheeled stroller is ideal for off-road terrain and offers a smooth ride for baby. They can also be easier to move and push than a four-wheeler, particularly those with fabric sling seats or seat units that are placed perfectly in the frame, delivering the best geometry and weight distribution.StabilityThree-wheeled vehicles are very stable, which makes them a great option for off-road walks (especially when equipped with a seat that is all-terrain or off-road). They typically have larger front wheels, which cope well with bumps and kerbs as well as rough ground. Some have a lockable wheel in the front to give you extra stability when driving on uneven terrain.It is important to keep in mind that 3-wheel buggies have lower centers of gravity than 4-wheeled versions which means they could fall more easily. The most reliable 3-wheeled pushchairs are made with the best design to ensure they stay stable in any condition. They must be able to pivot on a dime, be easy to steer with just one hand, and feature 360o swivelling front wheels which makes them perfect for maneuvering and navigating difficult terrain.Look for models that have pneumatic tyres. These are made to work on tracks that are not paved, and should be able to handle dirt, gravel, rocks, etc. Many all-terrain buggies feature an swivelling front wheel that can be locked to increase stability when tackling extremely rough terrain.A 3-wheeler is an excellent option for runners or for those who prefer to walk quickly and uphill, particularly in the event that you're planning to connect an infant car seat or carrycot. The Roma Atlas is a great example, with a wide-facing seat that reclines flat and has improved 5-point harness and storage space for all your equipment (plus an extendable 50+ sun hood). It's compact, lightweight and suitable from birth and can be used with car seats or a carrycot. It can also be used for light jogging but is not intended for serious runners.WeightIf you're looking for a buggy to tackle terrain that is difficult, you should select one with large tires. These are designed to handle cobbles, grass and dirt tracks with ease, while still providing a smooth ride. They're also ideal for jogging because they have built in suspension and are easy to move up and down kerbs. However, the downside is that they can be quite heavy to push.The Mountain Buggy Urban Glide 2 is the best 3 wheel buggy for use on rough terrain (pictured above). This 3-wheel buggy is very mobile due to its 16 rear wheels as well as an adjustable front wheel that locks. It comes with tyres filled with air which require pumping regularly. It can be used by children as young as the age of three. MFM reviewer Kath said that her toddler enjoyed the design of the seat and found it easy to steer with her 3-year-old on the board.The Baby Jogger Versa GT is another excellent option. It comes with an adjustable handlebar, a top-quality hood that provides 50+ UV protection, and an extremely high-quality hood. It is also easy to move kerbs upwards and downwards, and can fit into the boot of a car that is small. It can also be used as a pram that comes with an infant car seat for infants and toddlers.Fabric slings are set within the frame and not on top of the frame like modular seats. This design has a lower centre-of-gravity at the perfect height. It is much easier to push, and lighter to kerb-pop (you don't know how many times you'll do that as a new parent!).SeatingThe capacity for seating of 3 wheelers is quite impressive and there are many different options to choose from. For a newborn it is possible to use the carrycot plus (which MFM reviewer Alice says is a comfortable and cozy lying flat bed that can be used both on and off the buggy) and older infants and toddlers can use the parent or world-facing seat unit that is roomy and padded, and comes with adjustable ventilation. The seats don't recline completely, but can be lowered to the lowest position. This should still allow your child plenty of headroom and space.A sling seat made of cloth is also available, which has 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 perfect weight distribution. This makes it easier and lighter to push especially over bumpy terrain or curbs and MFM reviewer Kath loved the way that this style of seat dealt with these challenges.In addition to a large shopping basket, this type of buggy typically has some quite useful features, such as an extended 50+ UV hood, a simple brake pedal, and some game-changing visibility lights that come up from the handlebar and can be placed directly in front of the occupants to ensure their safety when traversing difficult terrain.If three wheel pushchair looking for a buggy that can grow with your family, the sport(tm) is a first in the world designed to accommodate infants and be adapted to accommodate three or more children as they grow, all in one footprint.StoresThe 3-wheeled frame makes the buggy much more sturdy to push one-handed, and it's also great for handling rough terrain. However, it also means that the shopping basket can't hold as much as a four-wheeled buggy.A top-quality ATP will feature pneumatic tyres with a padded grip for added comfort, and a superb suspension. It is also equipped to carry a carrycot and car seat which means you can use it right from birth.MFM's reviewers have discovered that the 3-wheeler frame can't fit through all the doors of their homes or small car boot - be sure you know the dimensions of the buggy when it's folded before buying in case you're concerned about space.Look for a 3-wheeler with 2 (or 3!) seats. seats once your family grows - these are the best of both worlds and can help you to save money in the future. The iCandy Strawberry Sport is among the most well-known. It can be used as early as day dot as a single buggie and then converted into twin buggies when your baby is walking.TyresThese tyres cushion bumps and uneven surfaces to make your child's ride more enjoyable. You'll find these on pushchairs, such as the Phil & Ted's Sport which MFM reviewer Kath found to be "an exceptional ride for my toddler". She also noted that the grippy tyres on the Phil & Ted's Sport made it easy for her to negotiate the kerbs as well as other obstacles.They can be difficult to maintain their inflation and need to be topped up frequently. These tyres are more prone to punctures, and you should always have a repair kit and spare inner tube when you're out and about.PU tyres are found on more pushchairs than the air-filled tyres but they're still as sturdy. PU tires are easily distinguished by their matte finish and supple feel. They also slide across flat and tidied surfaces.If you run your hand over the tyres, you can tell if they're rubber or PU. If it feels like it is sliding then it is a PU. You can also check if your buggy is fitted with PU tyres by sliding them across a flat, clean surface. They should roll easily and fit snugly into the wheel hubs.Foam tyres are able to withstand the rough terrain of high-performance buggies. The downside is that the foam could expand and cause your buggy to feel less stable because it loses its springy nature. You'll also find that these tyres may frequently be noisy, as they create a lot of noise as you turn and navigate your way through town.
