3 Wheeler Buggies

A tri-wheeled stroller is ideal for off-road terrain and provides an easy ride for babies. They are also simpler to push and manoeuvre than a four wheel buggy, particularly those with slings made of fabric or modular seat units that are positioned tightly in the frame and deliver the best shape and weight distribution.

Stability

Three-wheeled buggys are very stable, and this makes them an ideal option for off-road walks (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 are able to handle bumps, kerbs and rough terrain. Some have a lockable wheel on the front for additional stability while driving on uneven terrain.

It's worth bearing in mind that 3-wheel buggies have a lower centre of gravity than models with four wheels, which can mean that they topple over more easily. However, the most reliable 3-wheel pushchairs have an ideal geometry and design to make them very stable in all weather conditions. They should be able of turning at a whim and be easy to steer using just one hand, and feature a 360o swivelling front wheel which makes them ideal for manoeuvring and navigating difficult terrain.

Look for models that have pneumatic tyres. They are made to handle nonpaved tracks, and should be able to take on dirt, gravel, rocks and more. A majority of all-terrain buggies come with a swivelling front wheel that can be locked to add stability when tackling extremely rough terrain.

A 3-wheel stroller is a good option for runners and those who like to walk fast and uphill, 435871 especially when you plan to attach a car seat or carrycot. The Roma Atlas is an excellent model. It features an incline-reclining seat that is flat, with a 5-point harness, and plenty of storage space to store all your gear (plus a 50+ extendable sun hood). It's compact, lightweight and suitable from birth and can be used with car seats or a carrycot. It can also be used for light jogging but it's not designed for serious runners.

Weight

They are also ideal for jogging, as they have built-in suspension and are easy enough to climb up and down kerbs. However, the drawback is that they are quite heavy to push.

The best 3-wheel buggy for rough terrain is the Mountain Buggy Urban Glide 2 (pictured above). This 3-wheeler has 16 rear wheels and a lockable swivel front wheel, so it's very manoeuvrable. It comes with tyres filled with air that require pumping regularly. It can carry children until the age of three. MFM reviewer Kath says that her toddler loved the shape of the seat and was able to steer it easily with her three-year-old riding along.

The Baby Jogger Versa GT is another excellent option. It has an adjustable handlebar, a hood made of high-end materials that offers 50+ UV protection and a high quality hood. It is also easy to move kerbs up and down and fits into a small car boot. It can also be used as a stroller and a carrycot for newborns or toddlers.

Fabric slings are set in the frame and not on top as modular seats. This style has a lower centre-of-gravity at the ideal height. It is simpler to push, and lighter to kerb pop (you cannot underestimate how many times you will do that as a new parent!).

Seating

There are many alternatives for seating options in 3 wheelers. For babies you have the option to use the carrycot and (which MFM reviewer Alice says is a cosy and comfortable lie-flat bed that can be used both on and off the buggy) In addition, older babies and toddlers can sit in the world-facing or parent facing seat that is spacious and padded and does have adjustable ventilation. It's important to note that these seats aren't fully reclined, but they can be lowered to the lowest level which should still give your child plenty of headroom and space to move around.

A fabric sling seat is also available. It offers the advantage of being set snugly inside the frame rather than over the top of a modular seat and this delivers a much lower centre of gravity as well as a perfect weight distribution. This makes it easier to push, especially on bumpy terrain or over curbs. MFM reviewer Kath liked the way this type of seat handled obstacles.

In addition to a big shopping basket, this type of buggy typically has some pretty useful features such as an extended 50+ UV hood, an easy-to-use brake pedal and some games-changing visibility lights that come up from the handlebars and can be placed in front of the passengers to ensure their safety when tackling tricky terrain.

Tyres

These tyres absorb bumps and uneven surfaces to make your child's journey more comfortable. They're commonly found on pushchairs, such as the Phil and Ted's Sport which MFM reviewer Kath found to be "an outstanding ride for my toddler". She also noted that the grippy tyres of the Phil and Ted's Sport made it easier for her to negotiate the kerbs and other obstacles.
