3 Wheeler Buggies A three-wheel buggy is great for off-roading providing the most comfortable ride for your baby. They are also simpler to push and manoeuvre than a four wheel buggy and are especially suitable for those with fabric slings or seat units that are positioned tightly in the frame to provide the best design and weight distribution. Stability Three-wheeled buggys are extremely stable, which makes them an ideal choice for off-road walking (especially when they are equipped with a seat unit that is all-terrain or off-road). These types of buggys typically have large front tires that can handle bumps, kerbs and rough terrain. Some have a lockable wheel on the front to provide extra stability when driving on uneven terrain. It's important to remember that 3-wheel buggies have lower centers of gravity than their 4-wheeled counterparts and, therefore, can topple over more readily. But, the top 3-wheel pushchairs have an ideal geometry and design to ensure that they remain solid in all conditions. They should be able to turn at a whim and be able to be controlled with one hand. They also feature a 360o rotating front wheel which makes them perfect to navigate difficult terrain. For surfaces that are extremely challenging, look out for models with air-filled tyres also known as pneumatic tyres, which are designed to handle roads that are not paved and can deal with mud, gravel, rock and more. Many all-terrain buggies include an swivelling wheel on the front that can be locked to provide added stability when tackling very rough terrain. A three-wheeled stroller is a great option for those who run and like to walk fast uphill. This is particularly true if you are planning to attach to a car seat or carrycot. The Roma Atlas is an excellent example. It has the flat-reclining seat, a 5-point harness, and plenty of storage space to store all your gear (plus an extendable 50+ sun hood). It's lightweight and compact, and is suitable for use from birth. It can be used with either the car seat or carrycot. It also allows for a bit of light jogging, but isn't designed for serious joggers. Weight If you are seeking a buggy that can tackle terrain that is difficult, you should select one with large tires. These will cope well over cobbles, grass and dirt tracks while providing an enjoyable ride for all passengers. These are also great for jogging, as they have built-in suspension and are able to climb up and down kerbs. The downside is that they are quite heavy to push. The Mountain Buggy Urban Glide 2 is the most suitable 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 the front wheel can be locked. It comes with air tyres which require pumping occasionally, and it can carry children until the age of 3. MFM reviewer Kath said that her toddler liked the design of the seat and she found it easy to steer with her three-year-old child on board. Another great option is the Baby Jogger Versa GT, with a movable handlebar as well as a hood that is of high-quality with 50+ UV protection. It's also easy to move up and down kerbs, and it can fit into small car boot. It can also be used as a pram that comes with baby car seat for newborns and toddlers. Fabric sling seats are tucked inside the frame of the buggie rather than on top of it like modular seats. This design delivers an lower centre of gravity that is at the ideal height, making it easier to push and lighter to kerb pop (you cannot underestimate how often you'll be doing that as new parents!) Seating The seating capacity of 3 wheelers is quite impressive, and there are a number of different options to choose from. For a newborn, there is the option to use the carrycot and (which MFM reviewer Alice says is a cosy and comfortable lie-flat bed that can be used on and off the buggy) In addition, older babies and toddlers can be seated in the parent-facing or world-facing seat that is spacious and padded, and comes with adjustable ventilation. The seats don't fully recline, but they can be adjusted to the lowest point. This should allow your child plenty of headroom and space. A fabric sling seat is also available, which offers the advantage of being set snugly inside the frame, rather than sitting on top as the modular seat. This gives a lower centre of gravity and perfect weight distribution. This makes it easier and lighter to push particularly over bumpy terrains or curbs and MFM reviewer Kath really liked the way that this style of seat dealt with these obstacles. Alongside a huge shopping basket, this kind of buggy typically has some very useful features like an extended 50+ UV hood, an easy-to-use brake pedal and some bright, game-changing lights that come up from the handlebars and can be placed in front of the passengers to improve their safety when traversing difficult terrain. Alternatively, if you are seeking a single stroller that will grow with your family, there's the brand-new sport™ which is the first in the world to take one baby from the moment of birth and change to take two or even 3 after your baby has grown in the space of one buggy. Storage The 3-wheeled frame is more sturdy and can be moved by one hand. It's also ideal for terrains that are difficult to navigate. However, it also means that the basket won't hold as much as a four-wheeled buggy. A good quality ATP will come with a great suspension, pneumatic tyres and padding for the handle for your convenience. It should also be equipped with a carrycot and car seat which means you can use it from birth. MFM's reviewers have found that the 3-wheeler frame can't fit through all the doors of their homes or small car boot – be sure to check the dimensions of the buggy when it's folded before purchasing if you're worried about space. Look for a 3-wheeler with 2 (or 3!) seats. seats when 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 that can be used as a single unit from day dot, and then transforms to a twin buggies when your baby starts walking. Tyres These tyres cushion bumps and uneven surfaces to make your child's ride more enjoyable. They are commonly found on pushchairs like the Phil & Ted's Sport which MFM reviewer Kath said was “an amazing ride for her toddler”. She also mentioned that the grippy tires of the Phil & Ted's Sport made it simple for her to negotiate the kerbs as well as other obstacles. They can be tricky to keep inflated and will need to be filled regularly. These tyres are more prone to punctures, which is why you should always have a repair kit and spare inner tube when you're out and out and about. PU tyres are typically found on pushchairs as they are less expensive than air-filled tyres, but they are just as durable. PU tire are easily identifiable by their matte finish and soft feel. They also glide well on smooth and tightly woven surfaces. If you run your hand over the tyres, then you can tell if they are rubber or PU. If it feels like it's sliding, then it is a rubber tyre, which is a. You can also confirm that your buggy is fitted with PU tyres by slipping the tyres on an even, clean surface They'll roll easily and should fit snugly into their wheel hubs. Foam tyres can handle the rough terrain of high-performance buggies. The downside of this is that the foam may compress and make your buggy feel less stable because it loses its springy quality. Also, these kinds of tyres can frequently be noisy, as they create lots of noise when you turn and navigate your way through town.
