How To Outsmart Your Boss On 3 Wheeler Buggies
3 Wheeler Buggies
A three-wheeler is perfect for rough terrain providing an easy ride for your child. They are also easier to move and push than a four-wheel buggy, particularly those with fabric sling seats or modular seat units that are positioned snugly in the frame, delivering the best geometry and weight distribution.
Stability
A three-wheeled buggy offers excellent stability, which is the reason it's an ideal choice for off road walking (especially with an all-terrain or off-road style seat). These buggys often have oversized front tires that can withstand bumps, kerbs, and rough terrain. Some even feature a lockable front tire for extra stability on uneven terrain.
It's important to keep in mind that 3-wheel buggies have a lower centre of gravity than 4-wheeled models, which can mean that they fall over more easily. The best 3-wheeled pushchairs are made with the best design to ensure they stay solid in all conditions. They should be able of turning on a dime, be easy to steer with just one hand and have 360o swivelling front wheels which makes them perfect for maneuvering and navigating challenging terrain.
Look for models that have pneumatic tyres. These are made to be able to navigate tracks that aren't paved and are able to withstand rocks, mud, gravel and more. Many all-terrain buggies have an swivelling front wheel that can be locked to increase stability when tackling extremely rough terrain too.
A tri-wheeled pram is a great choice for those who run and love to speed up the hill. This is especially true if you plan to attach an infant car seat or carrycot. The Roma Atlas is an excellent model. It features a flat-reclining seat with five-point harnesses, and plenty of storage space to keep all your gear (plus a 50+ extendable sun hood). It's light, compact, and suitable for use from birth. It can be used in conjunction with a car seat or a carrycot. It can also handle a bit of moderate jogging, but it's not designed for serious runners.
Weight
If you're looking for a buggy that can handle difficult terrain, you need one with large wheels. They are designed to tackle cobbles, grass and dirt tracks easily while providing a smooth ride. They're also ideal for jogging since they have built in suspension and are easy to get up and down kerbs. However, they're quite heavy to push.
The Mountain Buggy Urban Glide 2 is the best lightweight 3 wheel stroller 3 wheel buggy to use on rough terrain (pictured above). The 3 wheel stroller cheap-wheel buggy is extremely maneuverable due to its 16 rear wheels and the front wheel can be locked. It has air tyres, which do need occasional pumping and it can be used to carry a child up to 3 wheel stroller cheap. MFM reviewer Kath says that her toddler was awed by the seat shape and she found steering it easy even with her 3-year-old riding along.
Another option that is great is the Baby Jogger Versa GT, that comes with an adjustable handlebar and a high-quality hood with 50+ UV protection. It is also easy to move up and down kerbs and fits into a the boot of a car that is small. It can also be used as a stroller and a carrycot for newborns or toddlers.
Fabric slings are set inside the frame and not on top of the frame like modular seats. This design delivers a lower center of gravity and a perfect height, making it easier to push and lighter to kerb pop (you cannot overestimate how often you'll do that as new parents!)
Seating
The capacity for 3 wheelers is impressive and there are many different options to choose from. The carrycot that comes with it is perfect for newborns (which MFM reviewer Alice describes as a comfy and cozy lying-flat bed that can be used on and off the buggy). Older children and toddlers will appreciate the spacious and comfortable seat unit that has adjustable ventilation. It's worth noting that the seats do not recline completely however, they can be adjusted to the lowest position that will still allow your child plenty of headroom and room to move around.
A fabric sling seat is also available, which offers the advantage of being positioned snugly inside the frame instead of over the top of a modular seat and this provides a lower center of gravity and a perfect weight distribution. This makes it easier to push, particularly over bumpy terrain and curbs. MFM reviewer Kath liked the way this kind of seat dealt with challenges.
Alongside a huge shopping basket, this kind of buggy usually has pretty useful features such as an extendable 50+ UV hood, an easy to use brake pedal, and some games-changing visibility lights that pop up from the handlebars and can be placed in front of the occupants to ensure their safety when they are tackling difficult terrain.

The 3-wheeled frame makes the buggy more sturdy to push one-handed and also perfect for handling terrain that is difficult to navigate. However, it means that the shopping basket can't hold the same amount as a 4-wheeled buggy.

MFM's reviewers discovered that the 3-wheeler frames couldn't fit through their home doors or car boot. If you're concerned about space, make sure you check the dimensions of the buggy once it is folded before buying.
It's worth considering a 3-wheeler that can take two (or even 3!) seats as your family grows - these are the best of both worlds and will help you save money in the future. The iCandy strawberry sport is one of the most popular; it can be used as a single unit from day dot and then converts to twin buggies when your baby starts walking.
Tyres
These tyres absorb bumps and uneven surfaces to make your child's journey more comfortable. They are commonly found on pushchairs like the Phil and Ted's Sport which MFM reviewer Kath found to offer "an exceptional ride for my toddler". She also said that its grippy tyres made it easier to handle cobbles and kerbs.
These tyres are sometimes difficult to maintain and require air pressure regularly topped up. These tyres are prone to punctures, which is why you should always have a repair kit and spare inner tube with you when you're out and about.
PU tyres can be seen on more pushchairs than the air-filled tyres but they're just as robust. PU tires are easily distinguished by their matte finish and supple feel. They also slide well on smooth and tightly woven surfaces.
If you run your hand over the tyres you can tell if they're rubber or PU. If it feels like it's moving, then it is a rubber tyre, which is a. You can also determine whether your buggy comes with PU tyres by sliding them onto flat, clean surfaces. They should roll easily and fit snugly into wheel hubs.
Foam tyres can handle the rough terrain associated with high-performance buggies. The downside of this is that the foam can expand and cause your buggy to feel less stable, because it loses its springy feel. You'll also find that these tyres may frequently be noisy, as they generate a lot of noise when you turn and navigate your way around the town.
