10 Life Lessons We Can Learn From 3 Wheeled Buggies
3 Wheeled Buggies

A 3-wheel buggy is used for off-road walking and to tackle terrain from rough roads or tracks in woodlands. They can also be easier to maneuver up and down kerbs than models with four wheels.

Kath who is the editor of MadeForMums reviews, has tested one of these three-wheelers on tarmac, as well as on various terrains. Read her review here.

Stability

With four wheels and a central point of gravity that's balanced by the weight of your child's seat, buggies with four wheels are generally thought to be more stable than 3-wheelers. Three-wheel buggies are nevertheless worthwhile to consider as they are able to take on anything from rough terrain to busy streets.

Find a buggie with large rear wheels, as well as a lockable wheel on the front. This will make it more comfortable to drive and less likely to break off when driving on bumpy roads. These buggies are typically equipped with pneumatic tyres as well, which are great at handling uneven surfaces and can even be used on sandy beaches or woodland tracks.

They're also excellent buggies to run with since they offer excellent stability in rough terrain, and can help you stay with your running partner. They can also go up and down steep kerbs and a lot of them come with spring suspension that is built-in, so your baby can enjoy an enjoyable ride.


A stroller with 3 wheels isn't easy to maneuver because of its large frame. It is more difficult to maneuver through doorways and narrow spaces than a 4-wheeler. However, some manufacturers have tackled this issue by implementing an innovative design that makes the wheels turn upwards when not in use, which reduces their overall size, and allows you navigate through doorways with ease.

It's also important to think about whether the buggy you choose to use is suitable for your baby from birth or if you're thinking of using it in conjunction with an infant car seat or carry cot. If so, make sure it has an upright position and if the design is compatible with second-seats and buggy boards (if you're planning to put an infant onboard). A majority of 3-wheelers can fold flat, and then be stacked upright. This is a great option if you only have a small boot space or limited storage at home. Certain 3-wheelers require you to remove the front wheel to fold into smaller spaces.

Manoeuvrability

Three-wheeled buggies typically provide better maneuverability than four-wheeled pushchairs. A lot of them feature a swivelling wheels on the front that allows you to control and change direction with one hand. Some models also come with a lockable front wheel which can give you security on more difficult terrain. Some models can be used with an additional seat or buggy board if you're planning to expand your family.

If you plan to remove your three-wheeled buggies from the roads that are paved then you should opt for an option with pneumatic tyres. They can handle the most difficult terrain. They may have to be regularly pumped up from time intervals, but they'll be more durable and puncture-proof than solid tyres. You should look for one with a swiveling front wheel that is locked to assist you in navigating difficult terrains.

When folded, three-wheelers can be heavier than four-wheeled buggies due to the single wheel on the front. Check that your chosen model can fit in the boot of your car and can be raised in the event that it is necessary. Some models can be folded by one hand and stand up when collapsed. This will save space in small car boot.

A well-constructed 3 wheel pushchair is able to cope with all terrains, from busy main streets to woodland tracks. It's important to think about what you'll be using it for day-to-day. If you will be making the school run using it, it must be able to handle steep slopes and kerbs. If you'll be running with it, make sure it has an adjustable lockable swivelling'stretch' for the front wheel to keep the ride safe.

Fabric Sling Seat

The primary difference between a fabric sling and a modular seats is that the fabric sling is placed in the frame of the buggy as opposed to being positioned on top like a modular seat would. This enables a much more ergonomically correct position for babies, which instantly delivers lower center of gravity at the right height. This results in an easier push, a lighter curb pop (you do not require the same amount of effort and weight to lift the buggy off the nose of a curb) and a better stability and balance.

These seats also come with sling fabrics that are easy to clean and durable. Made specifically for applications for sling chairs in mind, these fabrics are incredibly UV-resistant and air-tight. They are also easy to maintain with mild soap and warm water.

The large front wheel that is extremely maneuverable allows for smooth and swift movement. The tyres that are typically air-filled and come with suspension, offer a comfortable ride even on the roughest roads and trails.
