Ten Three Wheeled Buggies Myths That Don t Always Hold

Three Wheeled Buggies

If you're seeking a buggy to run with or just a stroller that can be used for strolls around the neighborhood, three-wheeled buggies offer great mobility. Their compact design makes them easy to maneuver even in tight spaces.

For a smooth ride, opt for a pram fitted with air-filled tyres and look for models with a 360deg front swivel wheel. However, they are more prone to punctures so be prepared with a repair kit.

Frame made of sturdy material

New data show that three wheeler pushchairs-wheeled buggies that were the symbol of the noughties 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 still looking fashionable.

The bigger the wheels are the better your buggy will cope with uneven surfaces and bumpy pavements. The larger wheels both rear and front allow you to maneuver and more stable while walking downhill or over difficult terrain.

MFM reviewer Kath tried the buggy with a newborn and 3 year old and found that it was able to withstand cobbles, grass, rough roads, dirt tracks and kerbs. She noted that it was solid to push and very solid on difficult terrain. Its tyres, which are inflatable and require to be pumped up regularly they have suspension built-in. It was extremely comfortable for my kids.

Another thing to take into consideration is the seat size and shape. The seat should be big enough for your child to feel at ease and to lie down. Some three wheel pushchairs-wheel buggies will have a full lie-flat option while others will only allow a parent facing one.

The Roma Atlas is a great option for off-road and wet walks. This buggy can be used as a single unit from birth, and then expands to accommodate two children as your family expands. It is suitable for toddlers and infants from birth until age 4. It comes with a bumper, raincover, an improved 5-point harness, and a big padded seat. Storage options are also good, with a large basket and zip pockets on the hood, and an attractive pouch on the rear of the seat unit.

Wheels with larger diameter

Larger wheels mean that your buggy will have more stability on uneven terrain, which is ideal for off-road buggies. They also make it easier to manoeuvre the buggy through tight spaces. A lot of three-wheeled buggies come with the front wheels that swivel to aid you in maneuvering around tight corners, whereas others are designed for running and come with fixed front wheels that lock to improve the speed and stability at which they can be driven. This is especially useful when you crash into the kerb or a tree. The front wheel will lift slightly to prevent hitting it.

Many 3 wheeled pushchairs have air-filled tyres, which allows them to navigate a wide range of terrains. They are also more flexible than 4 wheelers. They are also lighter. They are also more susceptible to punctures, so you'll need to have an repair kit and spare inner tube in your arsenal.

Mountain Buggy Core, Venicci Carbo and Venicci Carbo Lux are among our favorite 3-wheelers. These buggies, as per MFM's Kath, have larger wheels which she claims "perform well on grass, gravel roads and market town cobbles" and are able to go up or down kerbs. The buggies also come with suspension that according to Kath "smooths out bumps extremely effectively".

The downside of having bigger wheels is that they make some buggies quite broad and may struggle to squeeze through narrow spaces. This is a problem if you are using it as a jogger or have to squeeze through doorways that are narrow when out and about. Luckily, most models have small folding options that allow you to take off the front wheels to create more compact storage.

Easy to maneuver

One of the major advantages of a three-wheel buggy is that it can be much easier to maneuver especially with a child in the back. The way they are built ensures that the front wheels spin at a whim and are incredibly maneuverable and are ideal for difficult terrains like cobbles, parks or bumpy pavements, as well as dirt tracks.

MFM reviewer Kath tested a lightweight 3 wheel buggy wheeler with her newborn and toddler and stated: "The Terrain was a pleasure to navigate over the rough ground with the swivel rear wheel being especially helpful. I was also impressed with how well it handled kerbs when using the hand-operated break. It was extremely stable when for descending or on a rough terrain."

The only drawback of this great maneuverability is that the three wheel buggy's larger wheels do sometimes mean that it will be difficult to maneuver in tight spaces - something to consider when you live in a metropolitan area. If this is an issue, a 4-wheel buggy might be better for you.
