Ten Three Wheeled Buggies That Will Actually Change Your Life

Three Wheeled Buggies

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

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

Sturdy frame

Recent figures have been released that show that the three-wheeled buggy - a symbol of the noughties of more money than wisdom - is in steep decline. Four-wheelers have replaced them, which are more versatile and easy to drive while still looking elegant.

The idea is that the bigger the wheels are, the easier it'll be for your buggy to deal with rough ground and bumpy pavements. The larger wheels on both the front and back also makes it easier to manoeuvre and more stable when walking downhill or on difficult terrain.

MFM reviewer Kath tested this buggy with a newborn baby and a 3-year-old child and found it extremely durable. It was able to withstand cobbles, grass, and rough pavements, as well as dirt tracks and kerbs. Kath said it felt sturdy to push, and very solid on difficult terrain. Its tyres (which are inflatable and require occasional pumping) have suspension built-in that was very comfortable for my kids.

The shape and size of the seat is a further factor to think about. The seat should be large enough for your child to be at ease and to lie down. Certain three-wheel buggies come with the option of lying flat that allows your child to lie flat and face you, whereas others only allow a parent-facing one.

A great option for those who want to tackle off-road or muddy walks is the Roma Atlas. This buggy can be used as a one-person unit from birth, and then expands to take two children when your family grows. It is suitable for toddlers and infants from birth until age 4 and includes a bumper with a rain cover, an upgraded 5-point harness, and a large cushioned seat. Storage options are also a plus, with a large basket and zip pockets on the hood, and an extra pouch at the rear of seat unit.

Wheels with a greater diameter

Larger wheels mean that your buggy will have more stability on rough terrain - ideal for buggies that are off-road. In addition, they allow you to maneuver the pushchair through narrow spaces. Many three wheeled buggies feature rotating front wheels that aid you in maneuvering around tight corners, while others are designed for running and have fixed front wheels that lock to increase the speed and stability at which they can be driven. This can also help in the event that you hit the roots of a tree or stray kerb as the front wheel can be lifted up to keep you from hitting it.

Many 3 Wheeled Pushchairs (telegra.ph) have air-filled tyres that allow them to tackle a broad 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 an repair kit, spare inner tube, and pump on hand.

Some of our favourite 3-wheelers include the Mountain Buggy Core and Venicci Carbo Lux. These buggies, according to MFM's Kath, have larger wheels which according to her "perform well on gravel roads, grass and market town cobbles" and are able to go up or down kerbs. The buggies also come with a suspension that, according to Kath "smooths out bumps with great efficiency".

The downside of having larger wheels is that they make buggies quite large and can struggle to fit through narrow spaces. This is problematic if you intend to use it for jogging, or need to fit through narrow doorways while on the move. Many models have small folding options that permit you to take off the front wheels and store them in a more compact manner.

Easy to Manoeuvre

A three-wheeled buggy is easier to maneuver with children. The way they are constructed means that the front wheels turn on a dime and are really easy to maneuver, making them ideal for difficult terrain like cobbles, parks, bumpy pavements and dirt tracks.

MFM reviewer Kath tried a 3-wheeler with her newborn and toddler and said: "The Terrain was a delight to maneuver on the terrain, with the swivel front wheel being particularly helpful. I was also awed by the way it handled kerbs when using the hand-operated break. I found it extremely stable when going downhill or on uneven ground."

The only drawback of this amazing mobility is that the 3 wheel buggy's larger wheels sometimes mean that it can struggle in tight spaces - something to be aware of if you live in a urban area. If this is a concern, a 4-wheel buggy might be a better option for you.

Bumper bar

Bumper bars are a great way to protect your child from scrapes and bumps when out and about. They are easy and quick to put in and will make your child feel safe and secure when out in the city or taking on tough terrain.

The sling seat made of fabric sits snug inside the frame rather than sitting on top like modular seats, delivering the lowest centre of gravity at the appropriate height for your newborn and also delivering excellent weight distribution for easy kerb pop (it takes much less effort to push the buggy up and over a curb than you might think). MFM reviewer Kath said it was great on grass and cobbles. It's also a great option for running with its air-filled tyres and locking swivel wheels.

Comfort

A 3-wheel buggy is a great off-road vehicle for handling and performance. This kind of buggy is simple to steer and turn on a dime with its perfect geometry engineering, weight, and distribution.

The clever design of the Sport places the sling seat made of fabric inside the frame, not sitting on top as modular seats. This lets it have lower center of gravity, which means it is more comfortable to push, has a less weighty curb-pop (you don't have to exert as much effort to lift the buggy's hood over the curb), and offers more stability and balance.

There's a huge easy-to-access basket that's surprisingly roomy for a buggy this small 3 wheel stroller, plus there's an excellent zip-up pouch at the back of the seat unit, and even 2 smaller mesh pockets under the hood to keep your keys and phone.
