The Hidden Secrets Of Three Wheeled Buggies
Three Wheeled Buggies
If you're seeking a buggy to run with or just a stroller that can be used for the neighborhood, three-wheeled buggies are great for mobility. Their compact design makes it easy to maneuver even in tight places.
If you are looking for a smooth ride on your baby, select models with 360deg front wheels that swivel. However, they are prone to punctures, so be prepared with a repair kit.
Sturdy frame
Recent figures have been released revealing that the three-wheeled vehicle - that noughties symbol of more money than wisdom is in a decline. They are being replaced by four-wheelers that can handle a wider range of terrain, yet still look elegant and easy to push.
The larger the wheels are the better your buggy will cope with bumpy and uneven pavements. The larger wheels, both front and rear allow you to maneuver and more stable while walking downhill or in difficult terrain.
MFM reviewer Kath tried the buggy with a newborn and a 3 wheel stroller with bassinet year old and found it was able to handle cobbles, grass, rough roads, dirt tracks, and kerbs. She said "it is sturdy to push and extremely solid when going over difficult terrain. The tyres, which are inflatable and need to be pumped regularly they have suspension built-in. It was extremely comfortable for my kids.
The size and shape of the seat is another thing to consider. You'll want it to be large enough to accommodate your child's comfort. You will also need it to recline to allow them to lie flat. Some three-wheel buggies will have an option to lie flat completely while others allow the parent to be facing one.
An excellent option for taking on off-road and muddy trails is the Roma Atlas. This buggy is ideal for a single child starting from birth and can be modified to accommodate two children as your family expands. It is suitable for babies and toddlers up to age four and comes with a bumper bar, raincover, improved 5-point harness and large cushioned seat. Storage options are also a plus, with a large basket and zip pockets on the hood, and a handy pouch at the rear of seat unit.
Wheels with larger diameter
Larger wheels give your buggy more stability when driving over rough terrain. This is ideal for buggies designed for off-road use. They also help you maneuver the pushchair in tight spaces. Many three wheeled buggies feature swivel front wheels to 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 with which they can be driven. This is also useful if you hit a tree or a kerb. The front wheel can be lifted slightly to prevent hitting it.
Many lightweight 3 wheel pushchair wheeled pushchairs have air-filled tyres, which allows them to tackle a broad range of terrains. They are also more flexible than 4 wheelers. They also tend to be lighter. However, they're susceptible to punctures and you'll need to keep an repair kit, spare inner tube, and pump on hand.
Our top 3 wheel all terrain pushchair-wheelers include the Mountain Buggy Core and Venicci Carbo Lux. According to MFM's Kath, have larger wheels which she claims "perform well on gravel roads, grass and market town cobbles", and can easily go up or down kerbs. They also come with a suspension system that, in her words "smoothes out bumps very effectively".
The downside of having bigger wheels is that they make some buggies quite broad and can struggle to fit through narrow spaces. This can be an issue especially if you're using it to a jogger or you need to maneuver through doorways that are narrow when you're out and out and about. Fortunately, many models come with compact folding options that let you remove the front wheels to create more compact storage.
Easy to Manoeuvre
One of the main benefits to a three wheel buggy is that it's much more maneuverable, especially with a child in the back. The way in which they are constructed means that the front wheels turn on a dime and are really maneuverable and are ideal for tricky terrain such as parks, cobbles and bumpy pavements as well as dirt tracks.
MFM reviewer Kath tried out a three-wheeler with her newborn and toddler and stated: "The Terrain was a delight to maneuver on the terrain and the swivel front wheel being particularly helpful. I was also impressed with how well it dealt with bumps, particularly when using the hand-operated brake. I found it to be extremely stable when going downhill or on uneven ground."
The only downside to this amazing maneuverability is that the larger wheels of a 3 wheeler pushchairs from birth wheel buggy (information from Lovewiki) can sometimes make it difficult to squeeze into tight spaces. This is something you need to be aware of when you live in one of the cities. If this is a concern then a 4-wheeler might be better for you.

The sling seat made of fabric sits snug inside the frame instead of sitting on top like modular seats do, providing the lower centre of gravity at the right height for your infant and also providing an excellent weight distribution to facilitate kerb pop (it takes much less effort to push a buggy up and over a curb than you think).
