3 Wheeler Buggies A three-wheel buggy is great for rough terrain and provides a smooth ride for your infant. They are also easier to push and maneuver than a four-wheel buggy especially those equipped with fabric slings or seat units, which are placed in a tight position within the frame and deliver the best design and weight distribution. Stability A three-wheel buggy has excellent stability, which is why it's a good choice for off road walking (especially with an all-terrain or off-road style seat). These buggys often have oversized front tires that can handle bumps, kerbs, and rough terrain. Some models even have a lockable front wheel to provide extra stability on uneven terrain. It's important to remember that 3-wheel buggies have lower centers of gravity than 4-wheeled versions and, therefore, could fall more easily. That said, the best 3-wheel pushchairs have an ideal geometry and design to ensure they are solid in all conditions. They should be able turn at a whim and be easy to steer with one hand. They also come with a 360o rotating front wheel that makes them ideal for maneuvering over difficult terrain. Find models with pneumatic tyres. They are made to work on tracks that are not paved, and should be able to handle dirt, gravel, rocks and more. A lot of all-terrain buggies have a swivelling wheel on the front which can be locked for greater stability when dealing with rough terrain. A 3-wheeled pram is a great choice for those who run and like to walk fast uphill. This is particularly true if you are planning to connect to a car seat or carrycot. The Roma Atlas is an excellent model. It has an incline-reclining seat that is flat, with five-point harnesses, and plenty of storage space to store all your equipment (plus an extendable 50+ sun hood). It's lightweight compact and safe for use starting at birth. It can be used with the car seat or carrycot. It can also handle some light jogging, but isn't designed for serious joggers. Weight If you're looking for a buggy that can handle difficult terrain, you need one with big wheels. They can handle cobbles, grass and dirt tracks, and provide the smoothest ride for any passenger. They are also ideal for jogging because they come with built-in suspension and are easy to climb up and down kerbs. The downside is that they are quite heavy to push. The most suitable 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 comes with tyres filled with air that need to be pumped regularly. It can accommodate children until the age of three. MFM reviewer Kath says that her toddler was awed by the shape of the seat, and she was able to steer it easily with her three-year-old on board. Another great option is the Baby Jogger Versa GT, which has an adjustable handlebar and a high-quality hood with 50+ UV protection. It's also easy to get up and down kerbs, and it can fit in small car boots. It can be used as a stroller along with baby carriers or toddlers. Fabric slings are set inside the frame and not on top as modular seats. This style has a lower centre-of-gravity, which is the ideal height. It is simpler to push and lighter to kerb pop (you cannot underestimate how many times you'll need to do that as a brand new parent!). Seating There are many options for seating in 3 wheelers. For newborns it is possible to use the carrycot (which MFM reviewer Alice says is a comfortable and cozy lying flat bed that can be used both on and off the buggy) In addition, older babies and toddlers can sit in the world-facing or parent facing seat that is large and padded, and comes with adjustable ventilation. It's worth noting that the seats do not recline completely however they can be adjusted to the lowest position which should still give your child plenty of headroom and room to move around. A fabric sling is also available. It has the advantage that it is placed inside the frame, instead of on top as a seat that is modular. This means that it has a lower centre of gravity and a perfect weight distribution. This makes it easier to push, particularly on bumpy terrain or over curbs. MFM reviewer Kath liked the way this type of seat handled challenges. This type of buggy comes with an extensive basket and other beneficial features, such as an extendable hood with 50+ UV protection, a simple to use brake pedal, and some innovative visibility lights which can be put in front of the occupants to ensure safety when riding on rough terrain. If you're searching for a stroller that will grow with your family, the sport™ is a world first designed to accommodate the newborn, and later be modified to accommodate three or more children as they grow. All within one footprint. Stores The 3-wheeled frame is more sturdy and can be moved with just one hand. It's also more suitable for terrains that are difficult to navigate. The shopping basket is smaller than a 4-wheeler. A good quality ATP will have excellent suspension, pneumatic tyres as well as padding for the handle to ensure your ease. It should be able to accept a carrycot or car seat, so you can use it right from the time of birth. MFM's reviewers have discovered that the 3-wheeler frame won't fit through all the doors in their homes or small car boots – make sure you know the dimensions of the buggy once it's folded before purchasing in case you're concerned about space. Find a 3-wheeler that has 2 (or 3!) seats. seats once your family grows. These are the best of both worlds and will help you save money in the future. The iCandy strawberry sport is one of the best of these and can be used as a single unit from day dot and later converts to a twin buggies when your baby begins walking. Tyres Air filled tyres are made to provide your child with an easier ride by cushioning bumps and uneven surfaces. They're commonly found 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 its grippy tyres made it easy to navigate cobbles and kerbs. These tyres can be difficult to maintain and will require air pressure topped up regularly. They are also more prone to punctures than foam tyres so you'll need to ensure that you have repair kits, spare inner tube and pump handy when traveling with your buggy. PU tyres are found on a lot more pushchairs than air-filled tyres but they're still as sturdy. You can tell PU tires by their smooth appearance and soft feel. They also slide well on smooth and tightly woven surfaces. It's usually possible to discern the difference between PU and air-filled tire by running your fingers over them, if it feels hard then it's a rubber tyre, and when it slides, it's a PU. You can also check whether your buggy is equipped with PU tyres by sliding them across a flat, clean surface. They should roll easily and fit comfortably into wheel hubs. Foam tyres are commonly utilized in high-performance buggies and Joggers due to their ability to deal with the rough terrain that's common to this type of pushchair. The downside of this is that the foam may shrink and make your buggy feel less stable, as it loses its springy quality. The tyres can also be noisy, as they make a lot noise when you turn and drive around town.
