A three-wheeled buggy is perfect for off-road terrain and provides a smooth ride for baby. They are also more convenient to maneuver and push than a four-wheel buggy, especially those with fabric sling seats or modular seat units that are positioned snugly in the frame, delivering the best ergonomics and weight distribution.

Stability

Three-wheeled vehicles are very stable, and this makes them a great choice for off-road walking (especially when they are equipped with a seat that is all-terrain or off-road). They typically have large front tires that are able to handle bumps, kerbs and rough terrain. Some even come with a lockable front wheel to provide extra stability on uneven terrain.

It's important to remember that 3-wheel buggies have lower centers of gravity than the 4-wheeled versions which means they could fall more easily. The best 3-wheeled pushchairs have been designed with perfect geometry to ensure they remain steady in any weather. They should be able to turn at a whim and be easy to steer using one hand. They also come with a 360o rotating front wheel which is ideal for navigating difficult terrain.

Find models with pneumatic tyres. These are made to be able to navigate tracks that aren't paved and should be able to handle mud, gravel, rocks and more. A majority of all-terrain buggies come with an adjustable front wheel that can be locked to increase stability when working on extremely rough terrain.

A three-wheeled stroller is a great option for runners and those who enjoy walking fast uphill. This is particularly true if you are planning to attach an infant car seat or carrycot. The Roma Atlas is an excellent model. It has a flat-reclining seat with 5-point harness and plenty of storage space to store everything you need (plus the ability to extend 50+ of the sun hood).

Weight

The best 3-wheel buggy for rough terrain is the Mountain Buggy Urban Glide 2 (pictured above). This 3 wheel jogger-wheel buggy has 16 rear wheels and an swivel wheel lockable to the front, so it's very manoeuvrable. It comes with air tyres that require occasional pumping and it can be used to carry a child up to the age of 3 wheel stroller travel system. MFM reviewer Kath says that her toddler loved the shape of the seat and found it easy to drive with her 3-year-old in the seat.

It's also easy to get up and down kerbs and fit into small car boot. 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 rather than sitting on top of it as modular seats. This design has a lower center of gravity that is at the ideal height, making it easier to push and lighter to pop the kerb (you can never underestimate the amount of times you'll have to do this when you're a new parent!)

Seating

The capacity for 3 wheelers is impressive, and there are a number of different choices to choose from. The carrycot that comes with it is ideal for a newborn (which MFM reviewer Alice describes as a comfy and cozy lying-flat bed that can be used on and off the buggy). Older infants and toddlers will appreciate the spacious and comfortable seat unit with adjustable ventilation. It's worth noting that the seats aren't fully reclined however they can be lowered to the lowest level which will give your child plenty of headroom and space to move around.

A sling seat made of fabric is also available, which is positioned snugly inside the frame rather than on top like a modular seat and this delivers a much lower centre of gravity and 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 dealt with the obstacles.

This type of buggy has a large basket and other features that are useful like an extendable hood with 50+ UV protection, an easy to use brake pedal, and some unique visibility lights that can be positioned in front of the occupants to increase safety on rough terrain.

Tyres

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 mentioned that the grippy tires of the Phil & Ted's Sport made it easier for her to negotiate kerbs and other obstacles.

These tyres can sometimes prove difficult to maintain their inflation and must be filled regularly. These tyres are more susceptible to punctures, and you should always carry a repair kit as well as an spare inner tube when you're out and about.

PU tyres are more commonly used on pushchairs since they are less expensive than air-filled tyres, but they are just as durable. PU tire are easily identifiable by their matte finish and soft feel. They also glide well on uneven and tied surfaces.

If you move your hand over the tyres, you can determine if they're rubber or PU. If it feels like it is sliding then it's a rubber tyre, which is a. You can also verify that your buggy has PU tyres simply by sliding the tyres onto a clean, flat surface - they'll be able to roll easily and fit snugly in their wheel hubs.

This can make your buggy less stable because the foam will lose its springy feel. These tyres are also noisy due to the fact that they create lots of noise when you turn or drive around town.
