15 Things You Don't Know About Three Wheeled Buggies

Three Wheeled Buggies

Three-wheeled buggies are great for walking around the neighborhood or for jogging. Their compact design allows them to be maneuvered easily even in tight spaces.

For a smooth 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.

Frame made of sturdy material

New figures show that three-wheeled buggies that were the symbol of the decade that had more money than common sense, are in steep decline. They are being replaced by four-wheelers that can be more versatile in terrain, while still looking swanky and being easy to push.

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

MFM reviewer Kath tried the buggy out with an infant and a 3 wheel stroller with bassinet-year-old child and found it extremely robust. It was able to withstand grass, cobbles and rough pavements, as well as dirt tracks and kerbs. She said that it felt solid to push and very solid on difficult terrain. The tyres, that are inflatable and need to be pumped up regularly and have a suspension built-in. 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 and you will also need it to recline so that they can lie flat. Certain three-wheel buggies come with the option of lying flat that allows your child to lie flat and face you, while other buggies only allow a face-to-parent one.

The Roma Atlas is a great option for off-road and muddy walks. This buggy is ideal for a single child starting from birth, and can be adapted to accommodate two children as your family expands. It is suitable for toddlers and infants from birth to age 4 and includes a bumper and raincover, a new 5-point harness, and a huge cushioned seat. Storage options are also a plus with a large basket with zip pockets on the hood, and a handy pouch on the rear of the seat unit.

Larger wheels

Larger wheels mean that your buggy will be more stable on uneven terrain, which is ideal for buggies designed for off-road use. They also make it easier to manoeuvre the pushchair through narrow spaces. A lot of three-wheeled buggies come with rotating front wheels that assist you in maneuvering around tight corners, whereas others are designed for running and have fixed front wheels that lock to increase the speed and stability at which they can be pushed. This also helps in the event that you hit a tree root or stray curb, since the front wheel will rise up a bit to prevent you from hitting it.

A majority of 3 wheeled strollers wheel pushchairs come with air-filled tyres. This means they are able to handle a variety of terrains and are more flexible than four wheelers. They are also lighter. They are more prone to punctures, and you'll need to have an repair kit and spare inner tube in your arsenal.

Mountain Buggy Core, Venicci Carbo and the Venicci Carbo lux are among our top 3 wheel double buggy-wheelers. Both buggies feature 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 have a suspension system that in her words "smoothes out bumps very effectively".

Buggies with larger wheels may be quite wide, and they may be a challenge to fit into narrow spaces. This is an issue especially if you're using it to an exercise bike or to maneuver through narrow doorways when out and out and about. Luckily, most models have small folding options that allow you to take off the front wheels to make compact storage.

Easy to Manoeuvre

A three-wheeler can be more maneuverable for a child. The way in which they are constructed means that the front wheels rotate at a whim and are incredibly maneuverable and are ideal for tricky terrain like cobbles, parks or bumpy pavements, as well as dirt tracks.

MFM reviewer Kath tried an all-wheeler with her toddler, and she said: "The Terrain is a delight to navigate in rough terrain. The front swivel wheel was particularly helpful." I was also awed by the way it handled the kerbs, particularly when using the brake operated by hand. I found it to be extremely steady when I was driving downhill or over uneven ground."

The only drawback to this incredible maneuverability is that the 3 wheel buggy's larger wheels do sometimes mean it has to struggle in tight spaces, something to consider if you live in a metropolitan region. If this is a concern, a 4-wheel buggy might be a better choice for you.

The sling seat is in the frame, snugly instead of sitting on top like modular seats do, providing the lowest centre of gravity at the ideal height for your baby and also delivering an excellent weight distribution to facilitate kerb pop (it requires less effort to push a buggy up and over the curb than you think). MFM reviewer Kath said it's excellent on cobbles and grass. It's also a good alternative for running, thanks to its air-filled tyres as well as a locking swivel wheels.
