The Unspoken Secrets Of Three Wheeled Buggies
Three Wheeled Buggies
Three-wheeled buggies are ideal for walking around the neighborhood or running. Their compact design allows them to be maneuvered easily even in tight areas.
If you're looking for a smooth ride on your baby, select models with 360deg front wheels with swivel. They are, however, susceptible, to punctures. Make sure you have an repair kit.
Sturdy frame
New figures show that the three-wheeled buggies that were the symbol of the decade that were more expensive than common sense, are in rapid decline. Four-wheelers have replaced them, which are more versatile and easy to drive while still looking stylish.
The principle is that the larger the wheels, the easier it will be for your buggy to cope with bumpy and rough pavements. The larger wheels both rear and front, make it easier to move and more stable when walking downhill or in difficult terrain.
MFM reviewer Kath tried the buggy with a newborn and 3 wheel pushchair with car seat year old and found it was able to withstand grass, cobbles, rough pavements, dirt tracks and kerbs. She said that it felt sturdy to push, and very solid on difficult terrain. Its tyres (which are inflatable so need occasionally pumping) come with suspension built-in, which was very comfortable for my children.
Another thing to consider is the size of the seat and shape. You'll want it to be large enough to accommodate your child's comfort. You will also require it to recline to allow them to lie flat. Certain three-wheel buggies come with the option of lying flat that allows the child to face you, while others only permit a parent-facing option.
A great choice for tackling off-road and muddy walks is the Roma Atlas. This buggy is ideal for a single child from birth, and can be adapted to accommodate two children as your family expands. It is suitable for toddlers and infants from birth until age 4 and comes with a bumper with a rain cover, an upgraded 5-point harness, and a large padded seat. The storage options are great as well, with a decent-sized basket, zip pockets in the hood and an easy-to-access pouch on the back of the seat unit.
Larger wheels
Larger wheels mean that your buggy will be more stable on rough terrain - ideal for buggies that are off-road. In addition, they allow you to maneuver the buggy through tight spaces. Some three-wheeled buggies feature rotating wheels at the front to aid in maneuvering around tight corners. Others are designed for running and have fixed wheels that lock for greater speed and stability. This can also help when you crash into a tree root or stray curb, since the front wheel will lift up slightly to prevent you from hitting it.
Many 3 wheel baby stroller wheel pushchairs feature air filled tyres which means they can handle many different terrains and are far more adaptable than 4-wheelers. They also tend to be lighter. They are also more susceptible to punctures, so you will require a repair kit and spare inner tube in your arsenal.
Mountain Buggy Core, Venicci Carbo and Venicci Carbo lux are among our top 3 wheel push chair-wheelers. These buggies, according to MFM's Kath, have larger wheels, which she claims "perform well on gravel roads, grass and market town cobbles" and are able to move up and down kerbs. They also have a suspension system which, in her words "smoothes out bumps extremely effectively".
The downside of having bigger wheels is that they make buggies quite large and make it difficult to get through narrow spaces. This can be an issue if you plan to are using it as a jogger or you need to get through doorways that are narrow while on the move. The majority of models come with small folding options that let you remove the front wheels and store them more compactly.
Easy to Manoeuvre
A three-wheel buggy can be easier to maneuver with a child. The way they are constructed means that the front wheels spin at a whim and are incredibly easy to maneuver, making them ideal for difficult terrain like cobbles, parks or bumpy pavements, as well as dirt tracks.
MFM reviewer Kath tried the 3-wheeler with her toddler, and she said: "The Terrain is a joy to maneuver on uneven terrain. The front swivel wheel was particularly useful." I was also impressed by the way it handled bumps, particularly when using the hand-operated brake. It was extremely stable when going downhill or on a rough terrain."
The only drawback of this great maneuverability is that the three wheel buggy's larger wheels sometimes mean that it will struggle in tight spaces - something to keep in mind especially if you live in a city area. If this is a problem, a 4-wheel buggy might be a better option for you.
Bumper bar
Bumper bars are the ideal method to protect your child from scrapes and bumps when out and about. They are easy and quick to install and make your child feel safe and secure when out in the city or on the trail.

The fabric sling seat sits comfortably inside the frame instead of over it as modular seats, delivering the lower centre of gravity at the appropriate height for your baby and also delivering an excellent weight distribution to facilitate kerb pop (it requires less effort to push the buggy up and over a curb than you think). MFM reviewer Kath discovered that it was able to cope well with cobbles and grass and it's a good option for jogging with its lockable swivel wheel on the front and air-filled tyres.

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