The Reason The Biggest "Myths" About 3 Wheeler Buggies Could Actually Be True

3 Wheeler Buggies

A three-wheel buggy is great for off-roading and provides the most comfortable ride for your child. They are also simpler to push and maneuver than a four wheel buggy, particularly those with fabric slings or modular seat units, which are tightly positioned in the frame to provide the best geometry and distribution of weight.

Stability

three wheeler pushchairs-wheeled vehicles are very stable, and this makes them an excellent option for off-roading (especially when equipped with a seat unit that is all-terrain or off-road). They often feature oversized front wheels, which can cope well with kerbs and bumps and rough ground. Some models have a lockable wheel on the front to provide additional stability when driving 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 most reliable 3-wheeled pushchairs are designed with perfect geometry to ensure that they remain solid in all conditions. They must be able to pivot at a whim and be able to steer with just one hand, and have 360o swivelling front wheels that makes them great for manoeuvring and navigating difficult terrain.

Look for models with pneumatic tyres. These are designed to work on tracks that are not paved, and should be able to handle rocks, mud, gravel and other debris. Many all-terrain buggies feature a swivelling front wheel that can be locked to increase stability when dealing with extremely rough ground too.

A 3 wheel jogger stroller-wheeled pram is a great choice for runners and those who enjoy walking fast uphill. This is particularly true if you intend to attach a car seat or carrycot. The Roma Atlas is an excellent example. It features the flat-reclining seat, 5-point harness and plenty of storage space to store everything you need (plus an extendable 50+ sun hood). It is lightweight and compact, and is suitable for use from birth. It can be used with a car seat or carrycot. It can also be used for light jogging however, it isn't designed for serious runners.

Weight

If you're seeking a buggy that can tackle terrain that is difficult, you should choose one with large tires. These are made to handle cobbles, grass and dirt tracks with ease while providing a smooth ride. They are also great for jogging, as they have a suspension built-in and are easy to climb up and down kerbs. The trade-off is that they're quite heavy to push.

The best 3 wheel stroller reversible seat wheel buggy for rough terrain is the Mountain Buggy Urban Glide 2 (pictured above). This 3-wheel buggy has 16 rear wheels and a lockable swivel front wheel making it extremely maneuverable. It has air tyres that require occasional pumping and it can be used to carry a child up to 3. MFM reviewer Kath said that her toddler liked the shape of the seat, and she found it easy to steer with her three-year-old child on the seat.

The Baby Jogger Versa GT is an alternative that is also a great choice. It comes with a movable handlebar, a high-quality hood that offers 50+ UV protection and a high quality hood. It's also easy to move up and down kerbs and fit into small car boot. It can also be used as a stroller and baby carriers or toddlers.

Fabric sling seats sit snugly inside the buggie's frame, as opposed to on top of it like modular seats. This design provides a lower center of gravity and a perfect height, making it easier to push and lighter to kerb pop (you cannot think about how often you'll do that as new parents!)

Seating

The seating capacity of 3 wheelers is impressive, and there are a number of different options to pick from. For babies it is possible to use the included carrycot plus (which MFM reviewer Alice says is a cosy and comfortable lying flat bed that can be used on and off the buggy) and older infants and toddlers can use the parent or world-facing seat that is spacious and cushioned and has adjustable ventilation. The seats don't fully recline, but they can be lowered down to the lowest setting. This should allow your child plenty of room and headroom.

A fabric sling is also available. It's a benefit that it is located within the frame, instead of on top as a seat that is modular. This means that it has a lower centre of gravity, with a perfect weight distribution. This makes it easier to push, particularly over bumpy terrain and curbs. MFM reviewer Kath liked the way this style of seat handled challenges.

In addition to a large shopping basket, this kind of buggy generally has very useful features like an extended 50+ UV hood, an easy-to-use brake pedal, and some bright, game-changing lights that come up from the handlebars and can be placed in front of the occupants to increase their safety when tackling tricky terrain.

Tyres

These tires cushion bumps and uneven surfaces to make your child's journey more comfortable. They are commonly found on pushchairs like the Phil & Ted's Sport which MFM reviewer Kath discovered to provide "an exceptional ride for my toddler". She also noted that the grippy tyres on it made it easier to handle cobbles and kerbs.

These tyres can be difficult to maintain and need to have their air pressure topped up regularly. These tyres are prone to punctures, and you should always have a repair kit as well as an spare inner tube when you're out and about.

PU tyres can be used on pushchairs because they are a cheaper option than tyres filled with air, but they are equally durable. You can identify PU tyres by their matte appearance and soft, smooth feel. They also slide on flat and tidied surfaces.

If you run your hand over the tyres you can tell if they're PU or rubber. If it feels like it is sliding then it is a PU. You can also test if your buggy is fitted with PU tyres sliding them onto flat, clean surfaces. They should roll smoothly and fit comfortably into wheel hubs.

Foam tyres can withstand the rough terrain that comes with high-performance buggies. This could make your buggy less stable since the foam will lose its springy nature. You'll also find that these types of tyres can typically be noisy because they create a lot of noise when you turn and navigate your way through the town.
