10 Quick Tips To Three Wheeled Buggies
Three Wheeled Buggies
Three-wheeled buggies are ideal for walking around the neighborhood or jogging. Their compact design makes them easy to manoeuvre, even in tight spaces.
If you're looking for a smooth ride on your pram, choose models with 360deg front wheels that can swivel. However, they are prone to punctures so be prepared with a repair kit.
Sturdy frame
New figures show that three-wheeled buggies, that symbol of the decade that had more money than common sense, are in steep decline. Four-wheelers are replacing them, and are more versatile and easier to drive and look fashionable.
The general rule is that the bigger the wheels, the easier it will be for your buggy to deal with bumpy ground and rough pavements. With larger wheels front and back makes it easier to manoeuvre and more stable when walking downhill or on rough terrain.
MFM reviewer Kath tried this buggy out with a newborn and 3 wheel stroller with seat; telegra.ph blog article, year old and found that it was able to withstand grass, cobbles, rough pavements, dirt tracks and kerbs. She noted that it was solid to push and very solid on difficult terrain. The tyres, that are inflatable and require to be pumped regularly, have built-in suspension. This was extremely comfortable for my kids.
The size and shape of the seat is another aspect to think about. You'll want it to be large enough to accommodate your child's comfort. You will also need it to recline so that they can lie flat. Certain three-wheel buggies have an option to lie flat completely while others allow a parent facing one.
A great choice for tackling off-road and muddy trails is the Roma Atlas. This buggy can be used as a single unit from the beginning and can be modified to accommodate two children as your family expands. It is suitable for infants and toddlers up to age 4 and comes with a bumper bar, raincover, a better 5-point harness and large cushioned seat. The storage options are good too, with a decent-sized basket, zip pockets in the hood, and an easy-to-access pouch on the back of the seat unit.
Wheels with larger diameter
Larger wheels give your buggy greater stability when driving over rough terrain. This is especially beneficial for off-road buggies. They also help you maneuver the pushchair in tight spaces. Certain three-wheeled buggies have swivel wheels on the front to help you navigate tight corners. Others are designed to run and have fixed wheels that lock for increased speed and stability. This is also helpful in the event that you hit the roots of a tree or stray road, as the front wheel can be lifted up to keep you from hitting it.
A lot of 3 wheeled pushchairs come with air-filled tyres, which allows them to tackle a broad range of terrains. They are also more flexible than 4 wheelers. They're also lighter. However, they are prone to punctures so you'll need to have a repair kit, spare tube and pump handy.
Mountain Buggy Core, Venicci Carbo and Venicci Carbo lux are among our top 3-wheelers. Both of these buggies come with larger wheels that, as per MFM reviewer Kath, "perform really well on grass, gravel tracks and market town cobbles" and are able to easily move up and down kerbs. They also come with a suspension system that in her words "smoothes out bumps extremely effectively".
The downside of having bigger wheels is that they can make some buggies quite broad and can struggle to fit through narrow spaces. This is an issue if you're using it as a jogger or you need to maneuver through doorways that are narrow when you're out and about. Most models come with compact folding options that let you remove the front wheels and store them more compactly.
Easy to maneuver
A three-wheeler can be easier to maneuver with children. The way in which they are built ensures that the front wheels rotate on a dime and are incredibly easy to manoeuvre and are ideal for difficult terrains like cobbles, parks, bumpy pavements and dirt tracks.
MFM reviewer Kath tested a 3 wheel buggies wheeler with her toddler and newborn and said: "The Terrain was a pleasure to navigate over the rough ground with the swivel rear wheel being particularly helpful. I was also awed by how well it dealt with kerbs using the hand-operated break. I found it extremely stable when going downhill or over uneven ground."
The only downside to this amazing maneuverability is that the larger wheels of a 3 wheel buggy can sometimes make it difficult to fit into tight spaces. This is something you need to keep in mind when your home is one of the cities. If this is a concern then a 4-wheeler might be a better choice for you.

This provides a lower centre of gravity for your baby at the ideal height, and also provides great weight distribution, making it easier to push over curbs (it is much easier to push a stroller up and down than you may think).

Kath who was our MFM reviewer, also appreciated the roominess of the buggy. There's a nimble large, spacious basket that's surprisingly spacious for a buggy of this size.
