10 Simple Steps To Start Your Own 3 Wheeled Buggies Business
3 Wheeled Buggies
A 3-wheel buggy can be used for off-road walks and for traversing terrains such as bumpy pavements or woodland tracks. They are also easier to move on kerbs, and they are less prone to slipping down when compared to 4-wheel models.
MadeForMums reviews editor Kath tried one of these three-wheelers while with her newborn and 3 year old, and put it through its paces on asphalt and on the muddy ground. Check out her review here.
Stability
With four wheels and a centre of gravity that's balanced by the weight of your child's seat, 4-wheel buggies are generally thought to be more stable than 3-wheelers. But that doesn't mean an older model with three wheels isn't worth a look, since some of these models are made to handle everything from rough terrain to busy high streets.
Find a buggie with large rear wheels, and one that locks on the front. This will make it easier to drive and less likely to snap apart on bumpy roads. These all-terrain buggies typically have pneumatic tyres, too. They are excellent for handling surfaces that aren't paved and can be used on sandy beaches or tracks in woodland.
3 wheel pushchair are also the best buggies to be jogging with, as they provide great stability over rough terrain and help you keep up with your running partner. They're also good at climbing and descending steep kerbs as well and a majority come with a suspension built in which means your child will enjoy a comfortable ride.
A stroller with 3 wheels isn't easy to maneuver due to its large frame. It can be more difficult to get through doorways and narrow spaces than a 4-wheeler. However some manufacturers have solved this issue with an innovative design that makes the wheels fold up when not in use, which reduces their overall size and allows you navigate through doorways with ease.
You'll also need to consider whether the buggy you choose to use is suitable for your baby from birth or if you're planning on 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'd like to add an infant onboard). A lot of 3-wheelers fold flat, and later be put up in a upright position. This is a good option if you only have an unwieldy boot space or have limited storage at home. However, some require you to remove the front wheel prior to folding in order to fit into even smaller spaces.
Manoeuvrability
Three-wheeled buggies are more movable than strollers with four wheels. They typically come with a swivelling front wheel that lets you shift direction quickly and steer with only one hand. Certain models come with wheels that lock to give you stability on more rough terrain. Certain models can be used with an additional seat or buggy board if you plan to expand your family.
If you're planning to take your three-wheeled buggy off roads, you should consider opting for a vehicle with air-filled tyres (also known as pneumatic tyres) which can cope with the most difficult terrain. These tyres may need to be pumped up from time to time, but they will be more durable and puncture-proof compared to solid tyres. You should look for models with an swiveling front wheel that is locked to help you navigate difficult terrains.
When folded, three-wheelers can be more bulky than four-wheeled buggies due to the single front wheel. Make sure the model you select fits inside your car's boot and can be positioned upright if needed. Some models are able to fold with one hand and are freestanding when they're collapsed, which will save space in boot spaces that are smaller.
A good three-wheel pushchair can take on any terrain from busy streets to forest tracks. It's important to consider how you will use it every day. If you will be making the school run with it, it should be able to handle steep slopes and kerbs. If you plan to jog on it, ensure it has a swivelling "stretch front wheel' that is locked. This will keep the ride stable.
Kath, a MFM reviewer, discovered that her stroller on three wheels was able to handle urban and rural walks. She said that it navigated cobbles, rocky paths and uneven pavements with ease and was comfortable to run with too. It's also a great option for day trips, as it has plenty of storage space, including a large, spacious basket with zip-top cover and an expandable 50+ UV hood. It can also be modified to fit babies as young as an adjustable seat that can be sat on or a carry cot, as well as being compatible with a variety of popular second-seats and buggy boards.
Fabric Sling Seat
The primary difference between a fabric sling versus a modular seats is that the fabric sling sits snugly inside the buggy frame instead of being positioned on top like a modular seat. This makes it easier to maintain an comfortable and ergonomically-correct position for the baby, which results in a lower center of gravity, which is the ideal height. This leads to a smoother push, a lighter curb-pop (you don't have to exert the same effort and weight to lift the buggy off the curb) and improved balance and stability.
The sling fabrics that are used in these types of buggy seats are extremely durable and easy to clean. These fabrics were designed specifically for the sling chair and are UV-resistant and air-tight. They are also easy to maintain with mild soap and warm water.
If you're a jogger or are a fan of off-roading, an all terrain 3 wheeler will be more suitable than a 4-wheel buggy. These styles generally have a larger base, more stable and utilise air filled tyres to ensure smooth, easy moving over rough terrain.

Modular Seat
Modular seating can be configured in various ways to accommodate different seating requirements. It doesn't matter if it's a comfortable setup for watching movies or a spacious arrangement to entertain guests, modular seating can be adjusted easily. Many modular seating systems come with cushion covers that can be removed, making it easier to clean up spills and staining.
Modular Seating can be designed to blend with existing decors or stand out as an accent piece. A broad range of fabrics, colors, and shape options means that you will find an alternative seating option that fits your taste. There are many functional features offered in modular seating, like hidden storage compartments that permit simple organization and clearing of living spaces.
3-wheel buggies are ideal for off-road and all terrain adventures as they have more stability than 4-wheel strollers. The large, highly manoeuvrable front wheel allows for agile and smooth motion, while the tyres are generally air-filled and feature suspension, which gives you a great ride on the roughest of roads and trails. The wheels are not as close to the ground on these pushchairs, as they are on four wheeled pushchairs. This makes them perfect for walking uphill.
Parents who love to run and jog with their babies typically opt for 3-wheel strollers because they are more agile and sleeker than their four-wheel counterparts. The GB Upp XL for example features a sleek, burnished silver aluminum frame, a quick one-hand fold and rear and forward facing seats. The Babyzen Yoyo has an all black frame, a carrycot with the ability to lie flat in full, air-filled tyres and three recline positions.
Another great all-terrain option is the incredibly light, extremely maneuverable and amazingly elegant Mountain Buggy Sport verso. This is a buggy that is truly future-proof for your wallet and can take you from birth using the carrycot, right through to toddlerhood with the modular seat (and beyond!). All of this is done within the footprint of just one buggy.
