10 Quick Tips About 3 Wheeler Buggies

3 Wheeler Buggies

A three-wheeler is ideal for off-roading and provides an easy ride for your child. They are also more convenient to move and push than a four-wheel buggy, especially if they have fabric sling seats or seat units that are placed comfortably within the frame, providing the best ergonomics 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 typically have large front tires that can withstand bumps, kerbs, and rough terrain. Some even come with a lockable front wheel to give extra stability when driving on uneven terrain.

It is important to keep in mind that 3-wheel buggies have lower centers of gravity than the 4-wheeled versions, which could mean they can topple over more readily. However, the most reliable 3 wheel all terrain buggy-wheel buggies have the perfect geometry and engineering to make them very stable in all conditions. They should be able to turn on a dime and be able to be controlled with one hand. They also have a 360o rotating front wheel, which makes them perfect for navigating difficult terrain.

Look for models that have pneumatic tyres. These are made to handle nonpaved tracks, and should be able to handle mud, gravel, rocks and other debris. Many all-terrain buggies have an swivelling front wheel that can be locked to add stability when tackling extremely rough ground too.

A 3-wheeled pram is a great option for those who run and enjoy walking fast uphill. This is especially true if you plan to connect a car seat or carrycot. The Roma Atlas is a great example, with a wide-facing seat that reclines flat and has improved 5-point harness and storage space for all your kit (plus an extension of 50+ sun hood). It's light, compact, and suitable for use starting at birth. It can be used in conjunction with a car seat or carrycot. It also allows for some moderate jogging, but it's not designed for serious joggers.

Weight

They will be able to handle cobbles, grass and dirt tracks, and provide a smooth ride for all passengers.

The Mountain Buggy Urban Glide 2 is the best 3 wheel baby buggy wheel buggy you can use on rough terrain (pictured above). The 3-wheel buggy is extremely maneuverable due to its 16 rear wheels and a lockable front wheel. It has air tyres, which do need occasional pumping and it can be used to carry children up to the age of 3. MFM reviewer Kath said that her toddler liked the design of the seat, and she found it easy to steer even with her 3-year-old on board.

The Baby Jogger Versa GT is another excellent option. It comes with an adjustable handlebar, a top-quality hood that provides 50+ UV protection, and a high-quality hood.

Fabric sling seats sit snugly inside the frame of the buggie rather than sitting on top of it as modular seats. This design provides an lower centre of gravity that is at the ideal height, making it easier to push and lighter to pop the kerb (you can never overestimate how often you'll do that as new parents!)

Seating

There are a myriad of options for seating in three wheelers. For newborns it is possible to use the carrycot (which MFM reviewer Alice says is a comfortable and cozy lie-flat bed that can be used on and off the buggy) In addition, older babies and toddlers can sit in the parent-facing or world-facing seat that is spacious and padded and does have adjustable ventilation. It is important to note that the seats do not recline completely however, they can be adjusted to the lowest level that will still allow your child plenty of headroom and room to move around.

A sling seat made of cloth is also available, which offers the advantage of being positioned snugly inside the frame instead of over the top of an open-back seat. This gives a lower centre of gravity and a perfect weight distribution. This makes it easier and lighter to push, especially when you're on bumpy terrain or curbs. MFM reviewer Kath was impressed with the way this type of seat negotiated these challenges.

This type of buggy has an enormous basket, along with other beneficial features like an extended hood with 50+ UV protection, an easy to use brake pedal and a few innovative lights for visibility that can be placed in front of the occupants for improved safety on difficult terrain.

Tyres

Air filled tyres have been designed to give your child more comfort while riding by cushioning out bumps and uneven surfaces. They are commonly found on pushchairs like the Phil and Ted's Sport, which MFM reviewer Kath said was "an exceptional ride for her toddler". She also said that the grippy tyres of the Phil and Ted's Sport made it easy for her to navigate the kerbs as well as other obstacles.

They can be difficult to maintain and need to be filled regularly. They are also more prone to punctures than foam tyres, so it is essential that you have a repair kit, spare inner tube and pump on hand when you are you're out and about in your buggy.

PU tyres can be found on more pushchairs than the air-filled tyres, yet they're just as robust. PU tyres are easily identified by their matte finish and supple feel. They also slide on flat and tidied surfaces.

It's usually possible to tell the distinction between air-filled and PU tyres by running your hand over them, if it feels hard, then it's rubber and when it slides, it's a PU. You can also verify that your buggy is fitted with PU tyres by sliding the tyres over a clean, flat surface They'll be able to roll easily and should fit comfortably in their wheel hubs.

Foam tyres are able to withstand the rough terrain associated with high-performance buggies. The downside of this is that the foam can shrink and make your buggy feel less stable as it loses its springy quality. You'll also find that these types of tyres can often be noisy as they create a lot of noise as you turn and navigate your way around the town.
