3 wheeler buggies (read this blog post from Google)

A three-wheeler is perfect for tackling off-road terrain, offering the most comfortable ride for your infant. They are also easier to push and maneuver than a four-wheeler, especially if they have fabric slings or modular seat units that are placed perfectly in the frame, delivering the most efficient geometry and weight distribution.

Stability

A three-wheel buggy has excellent stability, which is the reason it's a good option for off-road walking (especially with an all-terrain or off-road-style seat). They often feature oversized front wheels that can deal well with bumps and kerbs as well as rough ground. Some even come with a lockable front wheel to provide extra stability on uneven terrain.

It is important to keep in mind that 3-wheel buggies have a lower center of gravity than their 4-wheeled counterparts, which could mean they can topple over more readily. The best 3-wheeled pushchairs have been designed with perfect design to ensure they stay steady in any weather. They should be able of turning at a whim, be easy to steer with just one hand and have a 360o swivelling front wheel that makes them great for manoeuvring and navigating difficult terrain.

For extremely difficult surfaces, look out for models with air-filled tyres which are also referred to as pneumatic tyres, which are designed to work on non-paved tracks and are able to deal with dirt, gravel, and more. A majority of all-terrain buggies come with an swivelling front wheel that can be locked to add stability when dealing with extremely rough terrain.

A 3-wheeler is an ideal option for runners and those who like to walk quickly and uphill, particularly if you're planning to attach a car seat or carrycot. The Roma Atlas is a great example, with a world-facing seat that reclines flat. It also has improved 5-point harness and storage space for all your gear (plus an extendable 50+ sun hood). It's lightweight 3 wheel pushchair and compact, and is suitable for use starting at birth. It can be used in conjunction with the car seat or carrycot. It can also be used for jogging with a light pace, however, it isn't designed for serious runners.

Weight

If you're looking for a vehicle that can handle difficult terrain, then you'll need one with big wheels. They are designed to tackle dirt, cobbles, and grass tracks with ease while providing smooth riding. They are also great for jogging, as they have built-in suspension and are easy to climb up and down kerbs. However, the downside is that they can be quite heavy to push.

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

The Baby Jogger Versa GT is another great option. It comes with an adjustable handlebar, a high-quality hood that offers 50+ UV protection and a high quality hood. It's also easy to get up and down kerbs and can fit in small car boots. It can also be used as a stroller along with baby carriers or toddlers.

Fabric slings are placed within the frame, not on top like modular seats. This design has a lower centre-of-gravity at the perfect height. It is simpler to push and lighter to kerb pop (you cannot underestimate how many times you'll do that as a brand new parent!).

Seating

The seating capacity of 3 wheelers is quite impressive and there are a variety of different choices to choose from. The included carrycot plus is perfect for newborns (which MFM reviewer Alice describes as a comfortable and cosy lay-flat bed that can be used in and out of the buggy). Older infants and toddlers will enjoy the spacious and padded seat unit that has adjustable ventilation. The seats do not recline fully, but they can be lowered to the lowest point. This should allow your child to have plenty of headroom and space.

A fabric sling is also available. It has the advantage that it is positioned within the frame, instead of on top as a seat that is modular. This results in a lower centre of gravity with perfect weight distribution. This makes it easier and lighter to push especially when you're on bumpy terrain or curbs and MFM reviewer Kath really liked the way this kind of seat handled these obstacles.

In addition to a large shopping basket, this kind of buggy usually has very useful features like an extended 50+ UV hood, a simple brake pedal, and a few bright, game-changing lights that appear from the handlebar and can be positioned in front of the passengers to increase their safety when tackling tricky terrain.

Alternatively, if you are looking for a single buggy that can expand with your family There's the new sport(tm) that's the first in the world to take a single infant from the moment of birth and change to take two or even three wheel pushchairs once your little ones have grown and all within the footprint of one buggy.

Storage

The 3-wheeled model is more stable and can be pushed with one hand. It's also better for terrains that are difficult to navigate. However, it means that the basket won't hold the same amount as a 4-wheeled buggy.

A high-quality ATP will feature pneumatic tyres, a cushioned grip for added comfort, and a superb suspension. It will accommodate a carrycot or a car seat, which means you can use it right from the time of birth.

MFM's reviewers found that the 3-wheeler frame didn't fit through their home doors or car boot. If you're worried about space, be sure you check the dimensions of the buggy once it is folded prior to purchasing.

It's worth considering an SUV with three wheels that can fit two (or even 3 wheel parent facing pushchair!) seats as your family grows. They are the most efficient of both and will help you save money in the future. The iCandy strawberry sport is among the best 3 wheel stroller travel system of these and can be used as a single unit from day dot and then converts to twin buggies when your baby starts walking.

Tyres

Air filled tyres have been designed to provide your child with more comfort while riding by cushioning 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 its grippy tyres made it easy to tackle cobbles and kerbs.

They can be tricky to keep inflated and will need to be filled regularly. These tyres are more prone to punctures, and you should always carry an repair kit and spare inner tube when you're out and out and about.

PU tyres can be seen on more pushchairs than the air-filled tyres, but they are still just as robust. You can recognise PU tires by their smooth appearance and soft feel. They also slide on flat and tidied surfaces.

If you rub your hands over the tyres you can tell if they are rubber or PU. If it feels like it is sliding then it is a rubber or PU. You can also test whether your buggy comes with PU tyres, by sliding them on a flat, clean surface. They should roll easily and fit snugly into wheel hubs.

Foam tyres are commonly used in high-performance buggies and Joggers due to their ability to deal with the rough terrain that's associated with this kind of pushchair 3 wheels. This can make your buggy less stable since the foam will lose its springy nature. You'll also find that these types of tyres can frequently be noisy, as they make lots of noise when you turn and navigate your way through town.
