3 Wheeler Buggies A three-wheeler is ideal for tackling off-road terrain providing the most comfortable ride for your infant. They are also simpler to push and maneuver 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 deliver the most efficient geometry and distribution of weight. Stability Three-wheeled vehicles are very stable, which makes them an excellent option for off-roading (especially when equipped with a seat unit that is all-terrain or off-road). They often feature oversized front wheels that can deal well with bumps and kerbs as well as rough ground. Some have a lockable wheel on the front to provide extra stability when driving on uneven terrain. It's important to keep in mind that 3-wheel buggies may have a lower center of gravity than models with four wheels, which can mean that they can tip over more easily. 3 wheeled pushchair said, the best 3-wheel pushchairs are designed with perfect geometry and engineering to ensure that they remain stable in all conditions. They should be able to turn at a whim and be easy to steer using one hand. They also feature the ability to rotate 360o on the front wheel which makes them perfect for navigating difficult terrain. Find models with pneumatic tyres. They are made to handle nonpaved tracks, and are able to withstand mud, gravel, rocks, etc. Many all-terrain buggies have an adjustable front wheel that can be locked to increase stability when dealing with extremely rough terrain. A 3-wheel pram is also a good option for runners and those who like to walk fast and uphill, especially when you plan to attach an infant car seat or carrycot. The Roma Atlas is an excellent example. It has a flat-reclining seat with a 5-point harness, and plenty of storage space to keep everything you need (plus the ability to extend 50+ of the sun hood). It's lightweight and compact, and is suitable to use from birth. It can be used in conjunction with a car seat or a carrycot. It also allows for a bit of moderate jogging, but it's not designed for serious runners. Weight If you're looking for a buggy that can tackle terrain that is difficult, you should choose one with large tires. They will be able to handle grass, cobbles and dirt tracks, and provide a smooth ride for all passengers. They are also great for jogging because they come with built-in suspension and are able to climb up and down kerbs. However, the downside is that they can be quite heavy to push. The most suitable 3 wheel buggy for rough terrain is the Mountain Buggy Urban Glide 2 (pictured above). This 3-wheeler has 16 rear wheels and an swivel wheel lockable to the front, so it's very manoeuvrable. It has air tyres which require pumping occasionally and can hold a child up to 3. MFM reviewer Kath says that her toddler loved the shape of the seat and was able to steer it easily with her 3 year old riding along. The Baby Jogger Versa GT is another great option. It has an adjustable handlebar, a top-quality hood that offers 50+ UV protection as well as a high quality hood. It's also easy to get up and down kerbs and can fit into small car boot. It can also be used as a stroller and an infant carrycot or toddlers. Fabric sling seats are tucked inside the frame of the buggie rather than sitting on top of it as modular seats. This design provides an lower centre of gravity that is at the ideal height, making it easier to push and lighter to pop the kerb (you should never underestimate how often you'll do this when you're a new parent!) Seating There are many options for seating in three wheelers. The carrycot included is ideal for a baby (which MFM reviewer Alice describes as a comfy and cozy lay-flat bed that can be used both on and off the buggy). Older children and toddlers will enjoy the spacious and padded seat unit with adjustable ventilation. The seats don't recline completely, but can be lowered to the lowest setting. This should give your child plenty of headroom and space. A sling seat made of fabric is also available, which has the advantage of being positioned snugly inside the frame instead of sitting on top as a modular seat and this delivers a much 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 kind of seat handled obstacles. This kind of buggy comes with an extensive basket and other beneficial features, such as an extended hood with 50+ UV protection, an easy to use brake pedal, and some innovative visibility lights that can be placed in front of occupants for improved safety on difficult terrain. Alternatively, if you are looking for a single buggy that will grow with your family, there's the brand-new sport™ that is a world's first that can take a single infant from day dot and then adapt to take 2 or even 3 after your children have developed in the space of one buggy. Stores The 3-wheeled frame is much more stable and can be pushed with just one hand. It's also ideal for difficult terrain. However, it means that the basket won't hold as much as a four-wheeled buggy. A high-quality ATP will come with pneumatic tyres with a padded grip for better comfort, and an excellent suspension. It is also able to take car seats and a carrycot so you can use it from the moment you are born. MFM's reviewers have discovered that the 3-wheeler frame doesn't fit through all the doors of their homes or small car boots – make sure you check the dimensions of the buggy when it's folded prior to purchasing in case you're concerned about space. It's worth looking into 3-wheelers that can accommodate 2 (or even 3!) seats 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 one of the most popular. It can be used from day dot as a single buggy, and then converted into twin buggies when your baby is walking. Tyres These tires cushion bumps and uneven surfaces to make your child's journey more comfortable. They are commonly found on pushchairs like the Phil & Ted's Sport that MFM reviewer Kath said offered “an amazing ride for her toddler”. She also said that its grippy tyres made it easier to handle cobbles and kerbs. These tyres can sometimes prove difficult to maintain their inflation and need to be replenished regularly. They are also more prone to punctures than foam tyres. So it is essential that you have repair kits, spare inner tube and pump handy when traveling with your buggy. PU tyres are typically used on pushchairs since they are a cheaper option than air-filled tyres, but they are just as robust. PU tires are easily distinguished by their matte finish and soft feel. They also glide well on smooth and tightly woven surfaces. It's usually possible to discern the difference between air-filled and PU tires by running your hands over each one. If it feels firm, then it's rubber and if it slides then it's a PU. You can also check whether your buggy has PU tyres simply by sliding the tyres on flat, clean surfaces They'll be able to roll easily and should fit snugly in their wheel hubs. Foam tyres are often used in high-performance buggies as well as Joggers due to their ability to deal with the rough terrain associated with this type of pushchair. The drawback is that the foam may shrink and make your buggy feel less stable, because it loses its springy feel. You'll also find that these types of tyres can frequently be noisy, as they create a lot of noise as you turn and make your way through town.
