10 Tips For Quickly Getting Three Wheeled Buggies

Three Wheeled Buggies

Three-wheeled buggies are great for strolling around the neighborhood or for jogging. Their compact design allows them to be maneuvered easily even in tight spaces.

For a smooth ride, opt for a pram with air-filled tyres and look for models with 360deg front swivel wheels. However, they are susceptible to punctures, so make sure you are prepared with an repair kit.

Sturdy frame

Recent figures have been released that show that the three-wheeled buggy which was a symbol of the decade of more money than sanity - is in steep decline. Four-wheelers have replaced them, and pushchairsandprams are more flexible and simple to drive, while also looking elegant.

The larger the wheels are, the better your buggy can deal with bumpy and uneven pavements. The larger wheels both rear and front, make it easier to maneuver and more stable when walking downhill or over difficult terrain.

MFM reviewer Kath tried the buggy out with a newborn baby and a toddler and found it extremely durable. It was able to withstand grass, cobbles and rough pavements, as well as dirt tracks and kerbs. She said that it felt sturdy to push, and very stable on difficult terrain. Its tyres (which are inflatable so need occasionally pumping) offer built-in suspension, which was very comfortable for my kids.

The shape and size of the seat is a further factor to consider. You will want it to be large enough to accommodate your child's comfort and you will also need it to recline for them to lie flat. Some three-wheel buggies offer a lie-flat option that lets your child face you, while others only allow a parent-facing one.

An excellent option for taking on off-road and muddy trails is the Roma Atlas. This buggy can be used as a single from birth, and then expands to accommodate two children as your family grows. It is suitable for babies and toddlers from age 4 and comes with a bumper bar, raincover, improved 5-point harness and a spacious cushioned seat. The storage options are good as well, with a large basket, zip pockets inside the hood, and an attractive pouch at the back of the seat unit.

Larger wheels

Larger wheels mean that your buggy will be more stable on rough terrain - perfect for buggies designed for off-road use. They also allow you to maneuver the pushchair in tight spaces. Many three wheeled buggies feature swivel front wheels to help you navigate around corners with ease, whereas others are designed for running and come with fixed front wheels that lock to increase the speed and stability at which they can be driven. This also helps when you crash into a tree root or stray kerb as the front wheel will rise up slightly to prevent you from hitting it.

A majority of 3 wheel pushchairs come with air-filled tyres, which means they can be used on a variety of terrains and are more flexible than 4-wheeler. They are also lighter. However, they're prone to punctures and you'll need to keep a repair kit, spare tube and pump in your bag.

Our top three-wheelers include the Mountain Buggy Core and Venicci Carbo Lux. According to MFM's Kath, have larger wheels which according to her "perform well on grass, gravel roads and market town cobbles", and can easily climb or descend kerbs. They also come with a suspension system that in her words "smoothes out bumps with great efficiency".

The downside of having bigger wheels is that they make buggies quite large and may struggle to squeeze through narrow spaces. This can be an issue if you're using it as an exercise bike or to maneuver through doorways that are narrow when you're out and out and about. Many models have small HOMCOM Folding Baby Stroller in Vibrant Red options that permit you to take off the front wheels and store them Ickle Bubba Venus Max Jogger in Black/Space Grey a more compact manner.

Easy to Manoeuvre

One of the major advantages to a three-wheeled buggy is that it can be much more maneuverable, especially with a child on the way. The way they are constructed means that the front wheels spin at a quick pace and are extremely easy to maneuver, making them ideal for tricky terrain like cobbles, parks and bumpy pavements as well as dirt tracks.

MFM reviewer Kath tried a 3-wheeler with her toddler. she wrote: "The Terrain is a delight to navigate on uneven terrain. The swivel wheel in the front was especially useful." I was also awed by how well it dealt with bumps, particularly when using the brake operated by hand. It was very stable in the downhills or on uneven terrain."

The only drawback of this amazing mobility is that the 3 wheel buggy's bigger wheels sometimes mean that it can struggle in tight spaces - something to be aware of when you live in a urban area. If this is an issue then a 4-wheeled buggy could be a better option for you.
