10 Quick Tips For Three Wheeled Buggies

Three Wheeled Buggies

If you're looking for a buggy to jog with or just a nifty stroller to tackle the neighborhood, three-wheeled buggies are great for mobility. Their compact design makes it easy to maneuver even in tight places.

If you want a smooth ride with your baby, select models with 360deg front wheels that swivel. They are, however, susceptible, to punctures. Make sure you have an repair kit.

New figures show that three-wheeled buggies that were the symbol of the noughties that had more money than common sense, are in a steep decline. They've been replaced with four-wheelers which can handle a wider variety of terrain, while still looking swanky and being easy to push.

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

MFM reviewer Kath tested the buggy with a newborn and a 3 wheel Pushchair cheap year old and found it was able to handle grass, cobbles, rough pavements, dirt tracks and kerbs. She said that it felt solid to push, and extremely solid on rough terrain. Its tyres (which are inflatable so need occasionally pumping) have suspension built-in which was extremely comfortable for my kids.

Another thing to consider is the size of the seat and shape. It should be large enough for your child's comfort. You will also need it to recline for them to lie flat. Some three-wheel buggies will have the option of reclining completely, while others will only allow an adult facing one.

A great option for those who want to tackle off-road and muddy walks is the Roma Atlas. This buggy can be used as a single unit from the beginning and can be modified to take two children when your family expands. It is suitable for infants and toddlers up to age four and includes a bumper bar, raincover, a better 5-point harness and a spacious cushioned seat unit. The storage options are excellent as well, with a large basket, zip pockets on the hood and a handy pouch on the rear of the seat unit.

Larger wheels

Larger wheels give your buggy greater stability when driving on rough terrain. This is perfect for off-road buggies. Additionally, they make it easier to manoeuvre the buggy through tight spaces. A lot of three-wheeled buggies come with swivel front wheels to assist you in maneuvering around tight corners, while others are specifically designed for running and have fixed front wheels that lock to improve the speed and stability at which they can be driven. This is particularly useful when you bump against trees or a kerb. The front wheel will lift slightly to avoid hitting it.

A lot of 3 wheel pushchairs have air-filled tyres, which means they can handle different terrains and are much more flexible than 4-wheeler. They also tend to be lighter. However, they're susceptible to punctures and you'll need to keep a repair kit, spare inner tube and pump handy.

Our top 3 wheel pushchair with car seat-wheelers include the Mountain Buggy Core and Venicci Carbo Lux. These buggies, as per MFM's Kath, have larger wheels that she claims "perform well on grass, gravel roads and market town cobbles" and are able to climb or descend kerbs. They also have a suspension system which in her words "smoothes out bumps very effectively".

The downside of having larger wheels is that they make some buggies quite wide and can struggle to fit through narrow spaces. This could be problematic if you intend to use it for jogging or you need to get through doorways that are narrow when on the move. Luckily, most models have compact folding options that allow you to remove the front wheels for more compact storage.

Easy to maneuver

One of the major advantages of a three-wheel buggy is that it is much easier to maneuver, especially with a child on the way. The way in which they are built ensures that the front wheels turn at a quick pace and are extremely easy to maneuver, making them ideal for tricky terrain like cobbles, parks or bumpy pavements, as well as dirt tracks.

MFM reviewer Kath tested a 3 wheeler with her toddler and newborn and stated: "The Terrain was a pleasure to maneuver over tough ground and the swivel front wheel particularly useful. I was also awed by the way it dealt with kerbs using the hand-operated break. It was extremely stable when for descending or on uneven terrain."

The only drawback to this great maneuverability, is that the larger wheels of a 3 wheel buggy can sometimes make it difficult to fit into tight spaces. This is something you should keep in mind if your home area is an urban area. If this is a problem then a 4-wheel buggy may be better for you.
