3 wheel pushchair Wheeler Buggies
A three-wheeler is perfect for tackling off-road terrain providing the most comfortable ride for your baby. They can also be easier to push and maneuver than a four-wheel buggy especially if they have fabric sling seats or modular seats that are set snugly in the frame, offering the best geometry and weight distribution.
Stability
Three-wheeled vehicles are very stable, which makes them an excellent choice for off-road walking (especially when equipped with a seat unit that is all-terrain or off-road). They usually have large front wheels, which can cope well with kerbs and bumps as well as rough ground. Some models even have a lockable front wheel to provide extra stability on uneven terrain.
It's important to remember that 3 wheel umbrella stroller (resources)-wheel buggies have lower centers of gravity than 4-wheeled versions which means they are more likely to fall over. The most reliable 3-wheeled pushchairs are made with the best geometry to ensure they remain stable in any condition. They must be able to pivot on a dime, be easy to steer with just one hand, and feature the front wheel rotate 360o which makes them perfect for maneuvering and navigating challenging terrain.
Look for models with pneumatic tyres. They are made to be able to navigate tracks that aren't paved and should be able to handle dirt, gravel, rocks and more. Many all-terrain buggies come with a swivelling wheel on the front which can be locked for added stability when tackling very rough terrain.
A three-wheeled stroller is a great option for those who run or enjoy walking fast uphill. This is particularly true if you intend to connect an infant car seat or carrycot. The Roma Atlas is an excellent example. It features the flat-reclining seat, five-point harnesses, and plenty of storage space for all your equipment (plus an extendable 50+ sun hood). It's compact, lightweight and suitable for babies and can be used in conjunction with the use of a car seat or carrycot. It also allows for a bit of light jogging but isn't intended for serious joggers.
Weight
If you're looking for a buggy to tackle terrain that is difficult, you should pick one with big tires. They can handle cobbles, grass, and dirt tracks while providing a smooth ride for all passengers. They are also great for jogging as they come with suspension and are easy to get up and down kerbs. However, the trade off is that they are quite heavy to push.
The Mountain Buggy Urban Glide 2 is the best 3 wheel buggy for use on rough terrain (pictured above). This 3-wheeler has 16 rear wheels, and an swivel wheel lockable to the front making it extremely maneuverable. It has air tyres which require pumping occasionally, and it can carry children up to 3. MFM reviewer Kath said that her toddler loved the design of the seat, and she found it easy to steer with her three-year-old child on the seat.
The Baby Jogger Versa GT is an alternative that is also a great choice. It has an adjustable handlebar, a high-quality hood that provides 50+ UV protection and an extremely high-quality hood. 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 stroller along with an infant carrycot or toddlers.
Fabric slings are set within the frame, not on top like modular seats. This model has a lower centre of gravity at the right height. It is simpler to push and is lighter to kerb-pop (you cannot underestimate how many times you'll need to do that as a brand new parent!).
Seating
There are a variety of options for seating in three wheelers. The carrycot included is ideal for a baby (which MFM reviewer Alice describes as a comfortable and cosy lying-flat bed that can be used on and off the buggy). Older babies and toddlers will love the spacious and comfortable seat unit that has adjustable ventilation. It's important to note that these seats aren't fully reclined however, they can be adjusted to the lowest setting which should still give your child plenty of headroom and space to move around.
A fabric sling is also available. It is advantageous in that it is located within the frame, rather than on top as a seat that is modular. This creates a lower center of gravity, with a perfect weight distribution. This makes it easier to push, particularly on bumpy terrain or over curbs. MFM reviewer Kath liked the way this type of seat handled challenges.
This kind of buggy comes with a large basket and other beneficial features such as an extendable hood with 50+ UV protection, an easy to use brake pedal, and some innovative visibility lights that can be placed in front of the occupants for improved safety on difficult terrain.
If you're searching for a stroller that can grow with your family The sport(tm) is a first in the world, can accommodate a newborn and then be modified to accommodate three or more children as they grow, all in one footprint.

The 3-wheeled frame is more sturdy and can be moved with one hand. It's also more suitable for difficult terrain. However, it means that the shopping basket can't hold as much as a 4-wheeler buggy.
A top-quality ATP will have a top suspension, pneumatic tyres, and a padded handle for your convenience. It is also able to take the form of a car seat and carrycot which means you can use it right from birth.
MFM's reviewers found that the 3-wheeler frame didn't fit through their home's doors or car boot. If you're worried about space, make sure to verify the dimensions of the buggy once it is folded prior to purchasing.
It's worth looking for an SUV with three wheels that can fit two (or even 3!) seats once your family grows. These are the best of both worlds and can help you to save money in the future. The iCandy strawberry sport is one of the top of them and can be used as a single unit from day dot and then converts to twin buggies when your baby begins walking.
Tyres
Air filled tyres have been designed to give your child 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 offered "an outstanding ride for her toddler". She also noted that the grippy tyres on it made it easy to tackle cobbles and kerbs.
These tyres can be difficult to maintain and require air pressure regularly topped up. They are also more vulnerable to punctures than foam tyres. So you'll need to ensure that you have repair kits, spare inner tube and pump handy when traveling with your buggy.
PU tyres can be found on more pushchairs than the air-filled tyres, yet they're just as durable. You can tell PU tires by their smooth appearance and soft feel. They also slide well on smooth and tightly woven surfaces.
You can usually tell the difference between air-filled and PU tire by running your fingers over each one. If it feels firm, then it's rubber and If it slides, then it's a PU. You can also determine if your buggy is fitted with PU tyres by sliding them onto a flat, clean surface. They should roll easily and fit comfortably into wheel hubs.
Foam tyres are often used in high-performance buggies and joggers since they are able to cope with the rough terrain common to this type of pushchair. The downside of this is that the foam could shrink and make your buggy feel less stable, since it loses its springy nature. Additionally, these tyres may frequently be noisy, as they make a lot of noise when you turn and navigate your way around town.
