24.10.06
A three-wheel buggy is great for rough terrain and provides an easy ride for your child. They are also easier to push and manoeuvre than a four wheel buggy especially those equipped with fabric slings or seat units that are tightly positioned in the frame to provide the most efficient shape and weight distribution.
Stability
A three-wheeled buggy offers excellent stability, which is why it's a good option for off-road walks (especially with an all-terrain or off-road-style seat). They typically have larger front wheels that can deal well with bumps and kerbs as well as rough ground. Some models have a lockable wheel on the front for additional stability when driving on uneven terrain.
It is important to keep in mind that 3-wheel buggies have lower centers of gravity than their 4-wheeled counterparts, which could mean they could fall more easily. But, the top 3-wheel pushchairs have perfect geometry and engineering to ensure that they remain solid in all conditions. They must be able to pivot on a dime and be able to steer using just one hand and have 360o swivelling front wheels which makes them perfect for maneuvering and navigating difficult terrain.
For surfaces that are extremely challenging be sure to choose an air-filled model, also known as pneumatic tyres. These are designed to handle non-paved tracks and are able to deal with dirt, gravel, and so on. Many all-terrain buggies come with an swivelling wheel on the front that can be locked to provide extra stability when you're dealing with rough terrain.
A tri-wheeled pram is a great choice for runners and those who enjoy walking fast uphill. This is especially true if you plan to attach to a car seat or carrycot. The Roma Atlas is an excellent example. It features an incline-reclining seat that is flat, with a 5-point harness, and plenty of storage space to keep everything you need (plus a 50+ extendable sun hood). It's light, compact and suitable for infants and can be used in conjunction with the use of a 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 vehicle that will take on tricky terrain then you want one with big wheels. These are made to handle dirt, cobbles, and grass tracks with ease and still provide an enjoyable ride. They are also ideal for jogging as they come with built-in suspension and are easy enough to climb up and down kerbs. However, they're a bit 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 has air-filled tyres which require pumping regularly. It can carry children until the age of three wheel pushchairs. MFM reviewer Kath says that her toddler loved the shape of the seat and found steering it easy even with her three-year-old in the seat.
The Baby Jogger Versa GT is another excellent option. It has an adjustable handlebar, a high-quality hood that offers 50+ UV protection as well as a high quality hood. It's also simple to get up and down kerbs and fit in small car boots. It can also be used as a pram that comes with a carrycot or infant car seat for infants and toddlers.
Fabric slings are set in the frame and not on top of the frame like modular seats. This design provides a lower center of gravity that is at the ideal height, instantly making it easier to push and lighter to kerb pop (you can never think about how often you'll do this when you're a new parent!)
Seating
The seating capacity of 3 wheel stroller brands wheelers is impressive, and there are a number of different choices to choose from. For babies, there is the option to use the carrycot plus (which MFM reviewer Alice says is a comfortable and cozy lie-flat bed that can be used both on and off the buggy), while older babies and toddlers can be seated in the parent-facing or world-facing seat unit that is roomy and padded and does have adjustable ventilation. The seats don't recline completely, but can be adjusted to the lowest point. This should allow your child plenty of space and headroom.
A fabric sling is also available. It is advantageous in that it is placed inside the frame instead of being placed on top of it as a modular seat. This creates a lower center of gravity with 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 the obstacles.
In addition to a big shopping basket, this type of buggy usually has pretty useful features such as an extendable 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 ensure their safety when they are tackling difficult terrain.
If you're looking for a buggy that can grow with your family it's the sport(tm), a world-first, can accommodate infants and be modified to fit two or three children as they grow, all in one footprint.
Storage
The 3-wheeled frame is more sturdy and can be moved with one hand. It's also ideal for difficult terrain. However, it means that the basket won't hold as much as a 4-wheeler buggy.
A good quality ATP will have a top suspension, pneumatic tyres, and a padded handle to ensure your comfort. It should also be equipped with a carrycot and car seat and you can use it right from birth.
MFM's reviewers have discovered that the 3-wheeler frame won'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.
Look for a 3 wheel infant stroller-wheeler with 2 (or 3!) seats. seats once 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 most popular. It can be used from day dot as a single buggy and then converted into twin buggies when your baby begins walking.
Tyres
Air filled tyres are designed to provide your child with an easier ride by cushioning out bumps and uneven surfaces. They're commonly found on pushchairs, such as the Phil & Ted's Sport which MFM reviewer Kath discovered to provide "an exceptional ride for my toddler". She also noted that the grippy tyres make it easy to navigate kerbs and cobbles.
They can be difficult to maintain their inflation and need to be filled regularly. These tyres are more susceptible to punctures, so you should always carry a repair kit and spare inner tube when you're out and out and about.
PU tyres can be seen on more pushchairs than air-filled tyres but they are still just as robust. PU tire are easily identifiable by their matte finish and soft feel. They also slide over flat and tidied surfaces.
If you run your hand over the tyres, you can tell if they're PU or rubber. If it feels like it is sliding then it's a PU. You can also check whether your buggy is equipped with PU tyres sliding them onto 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 associated with this kind of pushchair. This could make your buggy less stable as the foam loses its springy feel. You'll also find that these tyres may typically be noisy because they make lots of noise when you turn and make your way through the town.
