The Secret Life Of Three Wheeled Buggies
Three Wheeled Buggies
If you're looking for a buggy run around in or a stroller that can be used for neighbourhood walks, three wheeled buggies provide great mobility. Their compact design makes them easy to manoeuvre, even in tight spaces.
If you are looking for a smooth ride on your pram, choose models with 360deg front wheels that swivel. However, they are susceptible to punctures, so make sure you are prepared with a repair kit.
Sturdy frame
New figures show that three-wheeled buggies, the symbol of the noughties that had more money than common sense, are in a steep decline. They are being replaced by four-wheelers that are able to handle a wider variety of terrain, while also looking swanky and being easy to push.
The general principle is that the larger the wheels, the easier it will be for your buggy to cope with bumpy ground and rough pavements. The larger wheels, both front and rear, make it easier to maneuver and more stable when walking downhill or over difficult terrain.
MFM reviewer Kath tested this buggy with a newborn baby as well as a child who was 3 years old and found it very robust. It handled cobbles, grass, and rough pavements, as well as dirt tracks and kerbs. She noted that it was solid to push, and extremely solid on rough terrain. The tyres, which are inflatable and require to be pumped up occasionally they have suspension built-in. This was very comfortable for my kids.
Another thing to take into consideration is the seat size and shape. The seat should be big enough to allow your child to be at ease and to lie down. Certain three-wheel buggies come with a lie-flat option that allows the child to face you, whereas others only allow a parent-facing one.
The Roma Atlas is a great option for off-road or wet walks. It can be used as a one-person unit from the beginning and can be modified to take two children when your family grows. It is suitable for infants and toddlers until age four and comes with a bumper bar, raincover, an improved 5-point harness and large cushioned seat. The storage options are good too, with a decent-sized basket, zip pockets in the hood and an easy-to-access pouch on the back of the seat unit.
Wheels with a greater diameter
Larger wheels give your buggy more stability while driving over rough terrain. This is perfect for off-road buggies. They also allow you to maneuver the buggy through tight spaces. Some three-wheeled buggies feature wheels that swivel on the front to assist you in navigating tight corners. Others are designed to run and have fixed wheels that lock to provide increased speed and stability. This is also helpful if you bump into the roots of a tree or stray road, as the front wheel can be lifted up a bit to prevent you from hitting it.
Many 3 wheel pushchairs feature air filled tyres which means they can be used on different terrains and are much more flexible than 4-wheeler. They're also lighter. However, they're prone to punctures so you'll need to have an repair kit, spare tube, and pump on hand.
Mountain Buggy Core, Venicci Carbo and Venicci Carbo Lux are among our top 3-wheelers. According to MFM's Kath, have larger wheels that she claims "perform well on gravel roads, grass and market town cobbles" and are able to go up or down kerbs. They also have suspension that Kath says "smooths out bumps extremely effectively".
The downside of having bigger wheels is that they make some buggies quite wide and make it difficult to get through narrow spaces. This is an issue if you plan to use it as a jogger or you need to get through doorways that are narrow when traveling. 3 wheeler pushchair come with small folding options that let you remove the front wheels and store them more compactly.
Easy to maneuver
A three-wheel buggy can be more maneuverable for a child. The way they are built means that the front wheels rotate at a quick pace and are incredibly easy to manoeuvre which makes them perfect for difficult terrains like cobbles, parks and bumpy pavements as well as dirt tracks.
MFM reviewer Kath tested a 3 wheeler with her newborn and toddler and said: "The Terrain was a pleasure to navigate over the rough ground and the swivel front wheel being particularly helpful. I was also amazed by the way it dealt with kerbs using the hand-operated break. I found it to be extremely stable when driving downhill or over uneven terrain."
The only downside of this great maneuverability is that the three wheel buggy's larger wheels do sometimes mean that it can be difficult to maneuver in tight spaces - something to be aware of especially if you live in a metropolitan area. If this is a problem, a 4-wheel buggy might be a better option for you.
