The Unspoken Secrets Of Three Wheeled Buggies

Three Wheeled Buggies

Whether you're seeking a buggy to run with or just a compact stroller for neighbourhood walks, three wheeled buggies offer great mobility. Their compact design makes them easy to maneuver even in tight spaces.

For an easy ride, opt for a pram with air-filled tyres. Also, look for models with 360deg front swivel wheels. However, they are more prone to punctures, so be prepared with a repair kit.

Sturdy frame

New data show that three-wheeled buggies, the symbol of the decade that had more money than common sense, are in rapid decline. Four-wheelers have replaced them, which are more versatile and easier to drive, while also looking stylish.

The bigger the wheels are the better your buggy will cope with bumpy surfaces and uneven pavements. The larger wheels both rear and front enable you to move and more stable when walking downhill or on difficult terrain.

MFM reviewer Kath tested this buggy with a newborn baby as well as a child who was 3 wheel travel stroller years old and found it very robust. It was able to handle grass, cobbles and rough pavements, aswell as dirt tracks and kerbs. She said "it feels sturdy to push and is very stable when traversing difficult terrain. The tyres, which are inflated and require to be pumped regularly, have built-in suspension. This was extremely comfortable for my children.

The size and shape of the seat is another thing to consider. You want the seat to be big enough to allow your child to be comfortable and to allow them to lie down. Certain three-wheel buggies have a full lie-flat option while others allow the parent to be facing one.

An excellent option for taking on off-road and muddy trails is the Roma Atlas. This buggy is ideal for a single child starting from birth and can be modified to accommodate two children as your family grows. It is suitable for babies and toddlers from age 4 and comes with a bumper bar, raincover, an improved 5-point harness, and a large cushioned seat unit. The storage options are great as well, with a decent-sized basket, zip pockets in the hood and an attractive pouch at the back of the seat unit.

Larger wheels

Larger wheels will give your buggy greater stability when driving over rough terrain. This is ideal for buggies that are off-road. Additionally, they make it easier to manoeuvre the pushchair in tight spaces. Some three-wheeled buggies feature swivel wheels on the front to help you navigate tight corners. Others are designed for running and have fixed wheels that lock to provide increased speed and stability. This can also help when you crash into an unintentional tree root or kerb as the front wheel will lift up to keep you from hitting it.

Many 3 wheeled pushchairs have air-filled tyres that allow them to navigate a wide range of terrains. They are also more flexible than 4 wheelers. They are also lighter. However, they're prone to punctures and you'll need to keep a repair kit, spare inner tube and pump in your bag.

Mountain Buggy Core, Venicci Carbo and Venicci Carbo Lux are some of our favourite 3 wheel all terrain pushchair-wheelers. Both of these buggies have 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, according to Kath "smooths out bumps with great efficiency".

Buggies with larger wheels may be quite large, and they may be a challenge to fit into tight spaces. This is a problem when you're using it for an exercise bike or to be able to get through narrow doorways when out and out and about. The majority of models come with compact folding options, which let you remove the front wheels and store them more compactly.

Easy to manoeuvre

One of the main benefits to a three wheel buggy is that it's much easier to maneuver, especially with a child in tow. The way they are built ensures that the front wheels turn on a dime and are extremely easy to maneuver which makes them perfect for tricky terrain like cobbles, parks and bumpy pavements as well as dirt tracks.

MFM reviewer Kath tested a 3 wheeler with her toddler and newborn and said: "The Terrain was a pleasure to maneuver over tough ground, with the swivel front wheel being particularly helpful. I was also amazed by how well it dealt with kerbs using the hand-operated break. It was very stable going downhill or on uneven terrain."

The only drawback to this incredible mobility is that the 3 wheeler buggy wheel buggy's larger wheels do sometimes mean it has to struggle in tight spaces - something to keep in mind if you live in a city area. If this is an issue then a 4-wheeled buggy could be the better choice for you.

Bumper bar

Bumper bars are the ideal method to shield your child from scrapes and bumps while out and out and about. These bumper bars are simple to put in place and will allow your child to feel secure and safe while out and out and about.

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