3 Wheeler Buggies A three-wheeler is ideal for tackling off-road terrain and provides an easy ride for your infant. They are also more convenient to push and maneuver than a four-wheel buggy especially if they have fabric sling seats or seat units that are positioned perfectly in the frame, delivering the most efficient geometry and weight distribution. Stability A three-wheeler has great stability, which is the reason it's a good option for off-road walks (especially with an all terrain or off-road style seat unit). These buggys often have oversized front tires that can withstand bumps, kerbs and rough terrain. Some have a lockable wheel on the front for extra stability when driving on uneven terrain. It's worth bearing in mind that 3-wheel buggies may have a lower center of gravity than 4-wheeled models and this can mean that they fall over more easily. The best 3-wheeled pushchairs have been built with the perfect geometry to ensure they remain steady in any weather. They should be able to turn at a whim, be easy to steer with just one hand, and have the front wheel rotate 360o which makes them ideal for maneuvering and navigating difficult terrain. Look for models with pneumatic tyres. These are made to handle nonpaved tracks, and should be able to take on dirt, gravel, rocks and other debris. Many all-terrain buggies feature an adjustable front wheel that can be locked to provide stability when dealing with extremely rough terrain too. A 3-wheel pram is also an ideal option for runners or for those who like to walk fast and uphill, particularly if you're planning to attach a carrycot or car seat. The Roma Atlas is an excellent model. It has the flat-reclining seat, 5-point harness and plenty of storage space to keep all your equipment (plus the ability to extend 50+ of the sun hood). It's compact, 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 light jogging but isn't intended for serious runners. Weight If you are looking for a buggy to tackle terrain that is difficult, you should choose one with large tires. These are made to handle cobbles, grass and dirt tracks with ease and still provide an enjoyable ride. They're also ideal for jogging because they come with suspension and are easy to get up and down kerbs. However, the trade off 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-wheel buggy is very mobile due to its 16 rear wheels as well as a lockable front wheel. 3 wheeler pushchair has air tyres, which do need occasional pumping, and it can carry children up to 3. 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 riding along. The Baby Jogger Versa GT is an alternative that is also a great choice. It has an adjustable handlebar, a hood made of high-end materials that provides 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 pram with baby car seat for newborns and toddlers. Fabric sling seats sit snugly within the buggie's frame instead of on top of it like modular seats. This design delivers a lower centre of gravity that is at the ideal height, instantly making it easier to push and lighter to pop the kerb (you should never think about the amount of times you'll have to do this when you're a new parent!) Seating There are many options for seating in three wheelers. For a newborn you have the option to use the included carrycot and (which MFM reviewer Alice says is a comfortable and cozy lie flat bed that can be used on and off the buggy) In addition, older babies and toddlers can sit in the parent or world-facing seat that is large and padded, and comes with adjustable ventilation. It's important to note that these seats aren't fully reclined however, they can be adjusted to the lowest position that will still allow your child plenty of headroom and space to move around. A sling seat made of fabric is also available. It is set snugly inside the frame rather than sitting on top as an open-back seat. This provides a lower center of gravity and a perfect weight distribution. This makes it easier and lighter to push particularly over bumpy terrains or curbs and MFM reviewer Kath was impressed with the way this kind of seat handled these challenges. This type of buggy comes with an extensive basket and other features that are useful like an extendable hood with 50+ UV protection, an easy to use brake pedal, and some innovative visibility lights that can be positioned in front of occupants for improved safety on difficult terrain. If you're seeking a buggy that can grow with your family it's the sport™ is a first in the world designed to accommodate the newborn, and later be modified to fit three or more children as they grow, all within one footprint. Stores The 3-wheeled frame makes the buggy much more sturdy to push one-handed and also perfect for handling rough terrain. However, it also means that the basket won't hold as much as a four-wheeled buggy. A top-quality ATP will have pneumatic tyres with a padded grip for better comfort, and an excellent suspension. It is also equipped to carry a carrycot and car seat and you can use it right from the time you are born. MFM's reviewers discovered that the 3-wheeler frames didn't fit through their home doors or car boot. If you're concerned about space, be sure you check the dimensions of the buggy once it is folded prior to purchasing. Look for a 3-wheeler with 2 (or 3!) seats. This is the best option for your future and can help you save money. The iCandy Strawberry Sport is among the most sought-after. It can be used from the day of birth as a single buggie and then converted into twin buggies once your baby begins walking. Tyres These tyres cushion bumps and uneven surfaces to make your child's journey more comfortable. They are typically included on pushchairs such as the Phil & Ted's Sport which MFM reviewer Kath said was “an amazing ride for her toddler”. She also noted that the grippy tyres on it made it easier to handle kerbs and cobbles. These tyres are sometimes difficult to maintain and require air pressure topped up regularly. They are also more vulnerable to punctures than foam tyres so you'll need to make sure that you have repair kits, spare inner tube and pump in case you go out and about with your buggy. PU tyres are typically used on pushchairs because they are a cheaper option than tyres filled with air, but they are just as durable. PU tyres are easily identified by their matte finish and supple feel. They also slide across smooth and tidy surfaces. It's usually possible to tell the distinction between air-filled and PU tires by running your hands over each one, if it feels hard then it's rubber and If it slides, then it's a PU. You can also check whether your buggy is equipped with PU tyres sliding them onto an even, smooth surface. They should roll easily and fit comfortably into wheel hubs. Foam tyres are typically used in high-performance buggies and joggers since they are able to cope with the rough terrain common to this type of pushchair. This could make your buggy less stable since the foam will lose its springy feel. The tyres can also be noisy due to the fact that they create a lot noise when you turn and drive around town.
