3 Wheeler Buggies

A three-wheel buggy is great for tackling off-road terrain providing an easy ride for your infant. They are also simpler to push and manoeuvre than a four wheel buggy and are especially suitable for those with fabric slings or modular seat units that are tightly positioned in the frame and deliver the best geometry and distribution of weight.

Stability

A three-wheeler has great stability, which is why it is a great option for off-road walks (especially with an all terrain or off-road style seat unit). These buggys often have oversized front tires that are able to handle bumps, kerbs and rough terrain. Some have a lockable wheels on the front to provide additional stability while driving on uneven terrain.

It’s important to remember that 3-wheel buggies have a lower center of gravity than their 4-wheeled counterparts and, therefore, could fall more easily. However, the most reliable 3-wheel pushchairs have perfect geometry and engineering to make them very stable in all weather conditions. They should be able to turn at a whim and be easy to steer with one hand. They also come with a 360o rotating front wheel that makes them ideal to navigate difficult terrain.

For surfaces that are extremely challenging, look out for models with air-filled tyres which are also referred to as pneumatic tyres, which are made to handle roads that are not paved and can deal with mud, gravel, rock and more. Many all-terrain buggies come with an swivelling wheel at the front which can be locked for extra stability when you’re dealing with rough terrain.

A 3 wheeled buggy-wheeler is a good option for runners or for those who like to walk fast and uphill, particularly in the event that you’re planning to connect an infant car seat or carrycot. The Roma Atlas is an excellent example. It features a flat-reclining seat with 5-point harness and plenty of storage space for all your gear (plus the ability to extend 50+ of the sun hood). It is lightweight 3 wheel buggy compact and safe for use from birth. It can be used with either a car seat or carrycot. It can also be used for light jogging, but it’s not designed for serious runners.

Weight

If you are looking for a buggy to take on difficult terrain, you should select one with large tires. These are made to handle grass, cobbles and dirt tracks with ease and still provide smooth riding. They’re also ideal for jogging since they’re equipped with suspension and are simple to climb and descend kerbs. However, the trade off is that they are quite heavy to push.

The most suitable 3 wheel buggy for rough terrain is the Mountain Buggy Urban Glide 2 (pictured above). The 3 wheel all terrain buggy-wheel buggy comes with 16 rear wheels, and a lockable swivel front wheel, so it’s very manoeuvrable. It has air tyres that require occasional pumping, and it can 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.

Another option that is great is the Baby Jogger Versa GT, which has an adjustable handlebar and a high-quality hood with 50+ UV protection. It is also easy to move kerbs upwards and downwards, and can fit into the boot of a car that is small. It can be used as a stroller along with a carrycot for newborns or toddlers.

Fabric sling seats are tucked within the buggie’s frame instead of on top of it like modular seats. This model has a lower centre of gravity at the right height. It is simpler to push, and lighter to kerb pop (you can’t underestimate the number of times you’ll do this as a new parent!).

Seating

The seating capacity of 3 wheelers is quite impressive, and there are a number of different options to pick from. For a newborn it is possible to use the included carrycot (which MFM reviewer Alice says is a cosy and comfortable lie flat bed that can be used both on and off the buggy), while older babies and toddlers can use the parent-facing or world-facing seat unit that is roomy and padded and does have adjustable ventilation. The seats are not able to fully recline, but they can be lowered down to the lowest position. This should give your child plenty of headroom and space.

A sling made of fabric is also available. It has the advantage that it is placed within the frame, rather than on top as a seat that is modular. This creates a lower center of gravity with perfect weight distribution. This makes it easier to push, especially over bumpy terrain and curbs. MFM reviewer Kath liked the way this style of seat handled obstacles.

This type of buggy has a large basket and other features that are useful such as an extendable hood with 50+ UV protection, a simple to use brake pedal, and a few innovative lights for visibility that can be placed in front of occupants to ensure safety when riding on rough terrain.

Tyres

These tires cushion bumps and uneven surfaces to make your child’s journey more comfortable.

She also noted that the grippy tyres make it easy to navigate cobbles and kerbs.

They can be difficult to maintain and will require air pressure topped up regularly. These tyres are more susceptible to punctures, which is why you should always have an repair kit and spare inner tube when you’re out and out and about.

PU tyres are typically used on pushchairs because they are less expensive than air-filled tyres, but they are equally robust. You can identify PU tyres by their matte appearance and soft, smooth feel. They also glide well on uneven and tied surfaces.

If you move your hand over the tyres, you can tell if they are PU or rubber. If it feels as if it’s sliding, then it’s a rubber tyre, which is a. You can also confirm that your buggy has PU tyres by sliding the tyres on flat, clean surfaces They’ll roll easily and fit comfortably in their wheel hubs.

Foam tyres are typically utilized in high-performance buggies and joggers since they are able to cope with the rough terrain that’s common to this type of pushchair. This could make your buggy less stable because the foam will lose its springy feel. You’ll also find that these types of tyres can typically be noisy because they generate lots of noise when you turn and navigate your way through the town.
