10 Apps To Aid You Manage Your 3 Wheeler Buggies

3 Wheeler Buggies

A three-wheel buggy is great for tackling off-road terrain providing a smooth ride for your baby. They are also easier to push and maneuver than a four wheel buggy, particularly those with fabric slings or modular seat units that are tightly positioned in the frame and provide the most efficient shape 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 handle bumps, kerbs and rough terrain. Some even come with a lockable front wheel for extra stability on uneven terrain.

It is important to remember that 3-wheel buggies can have a lower center of gravity than models with four wheels which means that they fall over more easily. The best 3-wheeled pushchairs are made with the best design to ensure they stay stable in any condition. They should be able to turn on a dime and be easy to steer using just one hand and have the front wheel rotate 360o which makes them perfect for maneuvering and navigating challenging terrain.

For extremely difficult surfaces you should look for a model with air-filled tyres which are also referred to as pneumatic tyres, which are designed to work on non-paved tracks and should cope with rocks, mud, and more. Many all-terrain buggies come with an swivelling wheel on the front that can be locked for added stability when tackling very rough terrain.

A 3-wheeled pram is a great option for those who run or like to walk fast uphill. This is particularly true if you intend to attach 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 is lightweight and compact, and is suitable for use from birth. It can be used with either the car seat or 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 to tackle terrain that is difficult, you should select one with large tires. These will cope well over grass, cobbles, and dirt tracks while providing a smooth ride for all passengers. They're also good for jogging as they're equipped with suspension and are easy to move up and down kerbs. However, the drawback is that they are quite heavy to push.

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

Another great option 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 up and down kerbs and fits into a small car boot. It can also be used as a pram, with baby car seat for newborns and toddlers.

Fabric slings are positioned within the frame and not on top as modular seats. This design provides a lower center of gravity at the perfect height, instantly making it easier to push and lighter to kerb pop (you should never overestimate the amount of times you'll have to do this when you're a new parent!)

Seating

There are 3 wheeler pushchair of alternatives for seating options in 3 wheelers. For babies it is possible to use the included carrycot plus (which MFM reviewer Alice says is a cosy and comfortable lie flat bed that can be used on and off the buggy) and older infants and toddlers can be seated in the parent or world-facing seat that is large and padded and does have adjustable ventilation. It is important to note that the seats aren't fully reclined, but they can be lowered to the lowest setting which should still give your child plenty of headroom and room to move around.

A fabric sling seat is also available. It offers the advantage of being set snugly inside the frame, rather than on top like a modular seat and this gives a lower centre 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 style of seat dealt with the obstacles.

This kind of buggy comes with 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 some innovative visibility lights that can be positioned on the front of the passengers for improved safety on difficult terrain.

Look for a 3-wheeler with 2 (or 3!) seats. seats when your family grows. These are the most efficient of both and will help you save money in the future. The iCandy strawberry sport is one of the top of them that can be used as a single from day dot and then converts into twin buggies once your baby begins walking.

Tyres

Air filled tyres are designed to give your child an easier ride by cushioning bumps and uneven surfaces. They are commonly found on pushchairs such as the Phil and Ted's Sport which MFM reviewer Kath found to offer "an amazing ride for my toddler". She also said that the grippy tyres on the Phil and Ted's Sport made it easier for her to maneuver around the kerbs as well as other obstacles.

These tyres are sometimes difficult to maintain their inflation and will need to be topped up frequently. These tyres are prone to punctures, which is why it is recommended to always carry a repair kit as well as an spare inner tube when you're out and about.

PU tyres can be found on more pushchairs than air-filled tyres, but they are still just as robust. You can identify PU tire treads by their matte appearance and soft feel. They also glide well on even and tied surfaces.

You can usually tell the difference between air-filled and PU tires by running your hands over each one, if it feels firm, then it's rubber and If it slides, then it's a PU. You can also verify whether your buggy has PU tyres by sliding the tyres on flat, clean surfaces They'll roll easily and should fit comfortably in their wheel hubs.

Foam tyres can handle the rough terrain that comes with high-performance buggies. The downside of this is that the foam can shrink and make your buggy appear less stable as it loses its springy feel. The tyres can also be noisy, as they make lots of noise when you turn and drive around town.
