3 wheel push chair Wheeler Buggies

A three-wheel buggy is great for off-roading and provides the most comfortable ride for your infant. They are also simpler to push and manoeuvre than a four-wheel buggy especially those equipped with fabric slings or modular seat units that are tightly positioned in the frame and deliver the most efficient geometry and distribution of weight.

Stability

Three-wheeled vehicles are very stable, making them an excellent option for off-road walks (especially when equipped with a seat unit that is all-terrain or off-road). They usually have large front wheels that can deal well with kerbs and bumps as well as rough terrain. Some models even come with a lockable front wheel for extra stability on uneven terrain.

It's important to remember that 3-wheel buggies have lower centers of gravity than 4-wheeled versions, which could mean they are more likely to fall over. But, the top 3-wheel pushchairs are designed with perfect geometry and engineering to ensure they are stable in all conditions. They should be able to turn at a whim and be easy to steer with one hand, and have a 360o swivelling front wheel which makes them perfect for maneuvering and navigating difficult terrain.

Many all-terrain buggies have an adjustable front wheel that can be locked to provide stability when dealing with extremely rough terrain too.

A 3-wheel pram is also a good option for runners or those who prefer to walk quickly and uphill, particularly in the event that you're planning to connect a car seat or carrycot. The Roma Atlas is an excellent example. It features a flat-reclining seat with 5-point harness and plenty of storage space to store all your equipment (plus the ability to extend 50+ of the sun hood). It's lightweight, compact and suitable for babies and can be used in conjunction with car seats or a carrycot. It can also be used for light jogging, however, it isn't designed for serious runners.

Weight

If you're seeking a buggy that will take on tricky terrain then you want one with big wheels. They can handle cobbles, grass and dirt tracks, while providing the smoothest ride for any passenger. They're also good for jogging because they come with suspension and are easy to move up and down kerbs. However, they're a bit heavy to push.

The Mountain Buggy Urban Glide 2 is the most suitable 3 wheel buggy to use on rough terrain (pictured above). The 3-wheel buggy comes with 16 rear wheels and a lockable swivel front wheel which makes it very maneuverable. It has air tyres, which require pumping occasionally, and it can carry children up to 3. MFM reviewer Kath said that her toddler liked the design of the seat and she found it easy to steer with her 3-year-old son on the seat.

Another option that is great is the Baby Jogger Versa GT, which has an adjustable handlebar as well as a hood that is of high-quality with 50+ UV protection. It is also easy to move kerbs upwards and downwards and fits into a the car's boot space in a small size. It can also be used as a pram that comes with an infant car seat for infants and toddlers.

Fabric sling seats are tucked within the frame of the buggie, as opposed to sitting on top of it as modular seats. This design has a lower center of gravity at the perfect height, making it easier to push and lighter to pop the kerb (you cannot overestimate how often you'll do that as new parents!)

Seating

There are a myriad of options for seating in three wheelers. The carrycot included is perfect for newborns (which MFM reviewer Alice describes as a cozy and comfortable lying-flat bed that can be used both on and off the buggy). Older babies and toddlers will love the large and comfortable seat with adjustable ventilation. It's worth noting that the seats don't recline fully however, they can be adjusted to the lowest level that will still allow your child plenty of headroom and space to move around.

A fabric sling is also available. It is advantageous in that it is positioned inside the frame, rather than on top as a seat that is modular. This results in a lower centre of gravity and a perfect weight distribution. This makes it easier to push, particularly over bumpy terrain and curbs. MFM reviewer Kath liked the way this kind of seat dealt with the obstacles.

This type of buggy comes with an extensive basket and other beneficial features like an hood that can be extended with 50+ UV protection, an easy to use brake pedal and some unique visibility lights which can be put in front of occupants to increase safety on rough terrain.

If you're looking for a buggy that can grow with your family it's the sport(tm), a world-first designed to accommodate a newborn and then be modified to fit three or more children as they grow, all in one footprint.

Stores

The 3-wheeled frame makes a buggy more stable and sturdy to push one-handed and also perfect for handling difficult terrain. However, it also means that the shopping basket doesn't hold as much as a 4-wheeler buggy.

A top-quality ATP will have excellent suspension, pneumatic tyres and an ergonomic handle that is cushioned for your comfort. It is also equipped to carry a carrycot and car seat so you can use it from birth.

MFM's reviewers have discovered that the 3-wheeler frame doesn't pass through all doors of their homes or small car booties - make sure to check the dimensions of the buggy once it's folded before buying for those who are concerned about space.

It's worth looking into 3 wheel stroller reversible seat-wheelers that can accommodate 2 (or even 3 wheel pushchair off road!) seats as your family grows. These are the most efficient of both and will help you save money in the future. The iCandy strawberry sport is one of the top of them; it can be used as a single unit from day dot and later converts into twin buggies once your baby begins walking.

Tyres

Air filled tyres are designed to give your child more comfort while riding by cushioning out bumps and uneven surfaces. They are commonly found on pushchairs like the Phil & Ted's Sport which MFM reviewer Kath said provided "an outstanding ride for her toddler". She also noted that the grippy tyres on the Phil & Ted's Sport made it easier for her to maneuver around the kerbs as well as other obstacles.

These tyres are sometimes difficult to maintain their inflation and will need to be filled regularly. They are also more vulnerable to punctures than foam tyres, so you'll need to make sure that you have repair kits along with a spare inner tube and pump handy when out and about with your buggy.

PU tyres are more commonly used on pushchairs because they are a cheaper option than tyres filled with air, but they are just as durable. You can identify PU tires by their smooth appearance and soft feel. They also glide well on smooth and tightly woven surfaces.

You can usually identify the difference between PU and air-filled tire by running your fingers over each one. If it feels hard, then it's rubber and when it slides, it's a PU. You can also test if your buggy is fitted with PU tyres by sliding them across flat, clean surfaces. They should roll easily and fit snugly into the wheel hubs.

Foam tyres are commonly used in high-performance buggies as well as joggers because they can cope with the rough terrain common to this type of pushchair. The downside of this is that the foam could compress and make your buggy appear less stable as it loses its springy quality. The tyres can also be noisy because they generate lots of noise when you turn or drive around the town.
