3 Wheeler BuggiesA three-wheeled buggy is ideal for off-road terrain and offers the most comfortable ride for infants. They are also easier to push and maneuver than a four-wheeler especially those equipped with slings made of fabric or modular seat units, which are placed in a tight position within the frame and provide the best geometry and distribution of weight.StabilityThree-wheeled buggys are very stable, making them a great option for off-roading (especially when they are equipped with a seat unit that is all-terrain or off-road). They typically have large front tires that are able to handle bumps, kerbs, and rough terrain. Some even feature a lockable front tire to provide extra stability on uneven terrain.It is important to remember that 3-wheel buggies can have a lower centre of gravity than 4-wheeled models, which can mean that they can tip over more easily. The most reliable 3-wheeled pushchairs are built with the perfect design to ensure they stay steady in any weather. They should be able to turn at a whim and be able to be controlled with one hand. They also have a 360o rotating front wheel which makes them ideal for maneuvering over difficult terrain.Look for models with pneumatic tyres. These are made to handle nonpaved tracks, and should be able to take on rocks, mud, gravel and more. A lot of all-terrain buggies have an swivelling wheel at the front that can be locked for added stability when tackling very rough terrain.A 3-wheeled pram is a great option for those who run or like to walk fast uphill. This is particularly true if you intend to attach to a car seat or carrycot. The Roma Atlas is a great example, with a world-facing seat that reclines flat and features a more comfortable 5-point harness and storage space for all your kit (plus an extendable 50+ sun hood). 3 wheeled pushchair , lightweight and suitable for babies and can be used with the use of a car seat or carrycot. It also allows for a bit of moderate jogging, but it's not designed for serious joggers.WeightIf you're looking for a vehicle that can handle difficult terrain, then you'll need one with large wheels. These are designed to handle dirt, cobbles, and grass tracks with ease while providing an enjoyable ride. These are also great for jogging, as they have a suspension built-in and are easy enough to climb up and down kerbs. However, the downside is that they are quite heavy to push.The best 3-wheel buggy for rough terrain is the Mountain Buggy Urban Glide 2 (pictured above). This 3-wheeler is highly maneuverable because it has 16 rear wheels and a lockable front wheel. It has air tyres, that require occasional pumping, and it can carry a child until the age of 3. MFM reviewer Kath said that her toddler enjoyed the design of the seat and she found it easy to steer with her 3-year-old son on the board.The Baby Jogger Versa GT is another great option. It has an adjustable handlebar, a top-quality hood that provides 50+ UV protection, and 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 a carrycot or infant car seat for newborns and toddlers.Fabric slings are set in the frame and not on top as modular seats. This design provides a lower center of gravity at the perfect height, instantly making it easier to push and lighter to kerb pop (you can never underestimate the amount of times you'll have to do that as new parents!)SeatingThere are a myriad of alternatives for seating options in 3 wheelers. For a newborn it is possible to use the included carrycot and (which MFM reviewer Alice says is a cosy and comfortable lie-flat bed that can be used on and off the buggy) and older infants and toddlers can use the parent or world-facing seat that is large and cushioned and has adjustable ventilation. The seats are not able to recline completely, but can be lowered down to the lowest position. This should still allow your child to have plenty of space and headroom.A fabric sling seat is also available. It is set snugly inside the frame instead of on top like an open-back seat. This gives a lower centre of gravity and 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 dealt with the obstacles.Alongside a huge shopping basket, this kind of buggy typically has some quite useful features, such as an extendable 50+ UV hood, an easy-to-use brake pedal and some bright, game-changing lights that appear from the handlebars and can be placed in front of the passengers to improve their safety when they are tackling difficult terrain.If you're searching for a stroller that will grow with your family it's the sport(tm), a world-first, can accommodate infants and be adapted to accommodate three or more children as they grow. All within one footprint.StorageThe 3-wheeled frame is more stable and can be pushed with just one hand. It's also better for difficult terrain. The shopping basket is smaller than a four-wheeler.A good quality ATP will have excellent suspension, pneumatic tyres and an ergonomic handle that is cushioned for your comfort. It will be able to accommodate a car seat, meaning you can use it right from birth.MFM's reviewers have discovered that the 3-wheeler frame won't pass through all doors in their homes or small car boots - make sure you check the dimensions of the buggy when it's folded before purchasing in case you're concerned about space.It's worth considering 3-wheelers that can accommodate 2 (or even 3!) 3 wheeler pushchair as your family grows. These are the best of both worlds and will help you save money in the future. The iCandy strawberry sport is among the best of these and can be used as a single seat from day dot and later converts to twin buggies when your baby begins walking.TyresAir filled tyres have been designed to give your child more comfort while riding by cushioning bumps and uneven surfaces. They are typically used on pushchairs such as the Phil & Ted's Sport that MFM reviewer Kath said offered "an outstanding ride for her toddler". She also noted that the grippy tyres on it made it easier to handle kerbs and cobbles.They can be difficult to maintain their inflation and need to be replenished regularly. These tyres are prone to punctures, so it is recommended to always carry a repair kit and spare inner tube with you when you're out and out and about.PU tyres can be seen on more pushchairs than the air-filled tyres but they are still just as durable. You can recognise PU tyres by their matte appearance and soft texture. They also slide over smooth and tidy surfaces.You can usually tell the distinction between air-filled and PU tires by running your hands over each one. If it feels hard then it's made of rubber, If it slides, then it's a PU. You can also check that your buggy has PU tyres simply by sliding the tyres over an even, clean surface They'll be able to roll easily and should fit snugly into their wheel hubs.Foam tyres are often utilized in high-performance buggies and joggers because they can cope with the rough terrain that's associated with this type of pushchair. This can make your buggy less stable since the foam will lose its springy nature. Additionally, these types of tyres can often be noisy as they make a lot of noise when you turn and make your way around town.
