Three Wheeled Buggies: The Secret Life Of Three Wheeled Buggies

Three Wheeled Buggies

Whether you're looking for a buggy to run around in or a stroller that can be used for strolls around the neighborhood, three-wheeled buggies provide great mobility. Their compact design makes them easy to manoeuvre even in tight spaces.

If you are looking for a smooth ride on your pram, choose models with 360deg front wheels that can swivel. However, they are more prone to punctures so be prepared with an repair kit.

Sturdy frame

Figures have just been released revealing that the three-wheeled vehicle - a symbol of the noughties of more money than sense - is in steep decline. Four-wheelers have replaced them, and are more flexible and simple to drive and look fashionable.

The larger the wheels are the better your buggy can deal with uneven surfaces and bumpy pavements. The larger wheels, both front and rear enable you to maneuver and more stable while walking downhill or over difficult terrain.

MFM reviewer Kath tested this buggy with a newborn baby and a toddler and found it very robust. It was able to withstand cobbles, grass and rough pavements, as well as dirt tracks and kerbs. She said "it is solid to push and is very stable when going over difficult terrain. Its tyres (which are inflatable so need occasional pumping) offer built-in suspension which was extremely comfortable for my kids.

The size and shape of the seat is a further factor to consider. You will want it to be big enough for your child's comfort and you will also want it to be able to recline for them to lie flat. Some three-wheel buggies offer the option of lying flat that allows the child to face you, whereas others only allow a parent-facing one.

The Roma Atlas is a great alternative for off-road or muddy walks. The buggy can be used as a single from birth and then adapts to take two children when your family expands. It is suitable for infants and toddlers from birth until age 4. It comes with a bumper and raincover, a new 5-point harness, and a huge padded seat. Storage options are also great, with a large basket with zip pockets on the hood and a handy pouch at the rear of seat unit.

Larger wheels

Larger wheels will give your buggy more stability while driving over rough terrain. This is especially beneficial for buggies designed for off-road use. They also allow you to maneuver the pushchair in tight spaces. Some three-wheeled buggies come with swivel wheels at the front to help you navigate tight corners. Others are designed to run and have fixed wheels that lock for greater speed and stability. This is especially useful when you hit the kerb or a tree. The front wheel will lift slightly to avoid hitting it.

Many 3 wheeled pushchairs have air-filled tyres, which allows them to handle a wide range of terrains. They are also more flexible than 4 wheelers. They are also lighter. They are more prone to punctures, and you'll require an repair kit and spare inner tube on hand.

Some of our favourite 3 wheeler stroller-wheelers include the Mountain Buggy Core and Venicci Carbo Lux. Both of these buggies come with larger wheels that, as per MFM reviewer Kath, "perform really well on gravel tracks, grass and market town cobbles" and are able to easily go up and down kerbs. The buggies also come with suspension that Kath says "smooths out bumps with great efficiency".

Buggies with bigger wheels can be quite wide and they may be a challenge to fit in tight spaces. This is a problem if you're using it as a jogger or to be able to get through narrow doorways when out and about. Fortunately, many models come with small folding options that let you take off the front wheels to make compact storage.

Easy to maneuver

A three-wheeler can be more maneuverable for children. They are designed to ensure that the front wheels be turned on a dime and are easy to navigate, making them ideal for difficult terrain like parks, cobblestones as well as bumpy roads and dirt tracks.

MFM reviewer Kath tried out a three-wheeler with her newborn and toddler and said: "The Terrain was a pleasure to navigate over the rough terrain and the swivel front 3 wheel pushchair being especially helpful. I was also amazed by the way it dealt with kerbs using the hand-operated break. I found it extremely stable when going downhill or on uneven ground."

The only drawback to this incredible maneuverability is that the larger wheels of a 3 wheel stroller with bassinet wheel buggy can sometimes make it difficult to squeeze into tight spaces. This is something you should keep in mind when you live in an urban area. If this is a problem then a 4-wheeler might be a better choice for you.

This puts the centre of gravity for your infant at the right height and also offers an excellent weight distribution, making it easier to push over curbs (it is much easier to push the stroller up and over than you may think). MFM reviewer Kath discovered that it was able to cope well with grass and cobbles and it's a good option for jogging thanks to its lockable swivel front wheel that can be locked and air filled tyres.

Kath, our MFM reviewer, also loved the roominess of the buggy. There's a nimble, large basket that is quite spacious for a buggy that's this big. Plus, there's also a handy pouch on the back seat unit, and two smaller mesh pockets underneath the hood, where you can keep your keys and phone.
