3 Wheeler Buggies
A tri-wheeled stroller is ideal for off-road terrain and provides a smooth ride for baby. They are also more convenient to push and maneuver than a four-wheeler, especially those with fabric sling seats or seats that are set comfortably within the frame, providing the best ergonomics and weight distribution.
Stability
A three-wheeler has great stability, which is the reason it is a great choice for off road walking (especially with an all terrain or off-road-style seat). These types of buggys typically have large front tires that are able to handle bumps, kerbs and rough terrain. Some have a lockable wheel in the front to give you additional stability when driving on uneven terrain.
It's worth bearing in mind that 3-wheel buggies can have a lower center of gravity than 4-wheeled models which means that they fall over more easily. The best 3-wheeled pushchairs are designed with perfect geometry to ensure that they remain steady in any weather. They should be able to turn at a single click and be able to steer with just one hand, and feature a 360o swivelling front wheel that makes them great for maneuvering and navigating challenging terrain.
For extremely difficult surfaces be sure to choose an air-filled model which are also referred to as pneumatic tyres. They are designed to handle non-paved tracks and are able to deal with dirt, gravel, and so on. A majority of all-terrain buggies come with a swivelling front wheel that can be locked to provide stability when working on extremely rough terrain.
A 3-wheel pram is also a good option for runners and those who like to walk fast and uphill, particularly in the event that you're planning to connect a car seat or carrycot. The Roma Atlas is an excellent example. It features the flat-reclining seat, a 5-point harness, and plenty of storage space for all your gear (plus the ability to extend 50+ of the sun hood). It's lightweight compact and safe for use starting at birth. It can be used with either a car seat or a 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 buggy that will take on tricky terrain then you want one with big wheels. These are made to handle dirt, cobbles, and grass tracks easily while providing an enjoyable ride. They're also ideal for jogging as they come with suspension and are simple to move up and down kerbs. The trade-off is that they're a bit heavy to push.
The Mountain Buggy Urban Glide 2 is the best 3 wheel buggy you can use on rough terrain (pictured above). The 3-wheel buggy comes with 16 rear wheels and an swivel wheel lockable to the front making it extremely maneuverable. It has air-filled tyres which require pumping up every now and then. It can carry children until the age of three. MFM reviewer Kath said that her toddler loved the design of the seat and she found it easy to steer even with her three-year-old child on board.
The Baby Jogger Versa GT is another excellent option. 3 wheeled pushchairs has an adjustable handlebar, a hood made of high-end materials that provides 50+ UV protection as well as a high-quality hood. It's also easy to get up and down kerbs and can fit into small car boot. It can also be used as a stroller along with an infant carrycot or toddlers.
Fabric sling seats sit snugly within the buggie's frame instead of over it like modular seats. This model has a lower centre-of-gravity at the right height. It is easier to push, and is lighter to kerb-pop (you cannot underestimate how many times you'll do that as a new parent!).
Seating
There are a myriad of options for seating in three wheelers. The carrycot that comes with it is ideal for a newborn (which MFM reviewer Alice describes as a comfortable and cosy lying-flat bed that can be used both on and off the buggy). Older babies and toddlers will enjoy the spacious and comfortable seat unit that has adjustable ventilation. The seats are not able to recline completely, but can be lowered down to the lowest setting. This should allow your child plenty of headroom and space.
A sling seat made of cloth is also available. It offers the advantage of being placed snugly within the frame rather than on top like an open-back seat. This delivers a much lower centre of gravity as well as a 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 type of seat dealt with these challenges.
This type of buggy comes with a large basket and other useful features such as an extendable hood with 50+ UV protection, a simple to use brake pedal and some innovative visibility lights which can be put on the front of the passengers for improved safety on difficult terrain.

A high-quality ATP will have excellent suspension, pneumatic tyres as well as an ergonomic handle that is cushioned to ensure your convenience. It should be able to accommodate a carrycot or a car seat, meaning you can use it right from birth.
MFM's reviewers discovered that the 3-wheeler frames couldn't fit through their home's doors or car boot. If you're concerned about space, be sure to check out the dimensions when the buggy is folded prior to purchasing.

The iCandy Strawberry Sport is among the most sought-after. It can be used from the day of birth as a single buggy, and then converted into twin buggies once your baby starts to walk.
Tyres
Air filled tyres have been designed to give your child a more comfortable 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 found to offer "an outstanding ride for my toddler". She also noted that the grippy tyres make it easier to handle cobbles and kerbs.
They can be difficult to maintain and need to have their air pressure regularly topped up. They are also more vulnerable to punctures than foam tyres so it is essential that you have repair kits along with a spare inner tube and pump on hand when you are traveling with your buggy.
PU tyres can be seen on more pushchairs than the air-filled tyres, yet they are still just as sturdy. You can tell PU tire treads by their matte appearance and soft, smooth feel. They also glide well on uneven and tied surfaces.
If you rub your hands over the tyres, then you can tell if they are rubber or PU. If it feels like it's sliding, then it's a rubber tyre, which is a. You can also determine if your buggy is fitted with PU tyres, by sliding them on a flat, clean surface. They should roll smoothly and fit snugly into wheel hubs.
Foam tyres can withstand the rough terrain of high-performance buggies. This could make your buggy less stable because the foam will lose its springy nature. These tyres are also noisy, as they make a lot noise when you turn or drive around town.
