Ten Three Wheeled Buggies Myths That Aren t Always The Truth

Three Wheeled Buggies

If you're looking for a buggy run around in or a compact stroller for neighbourhood walks, three wheeled buggies provide great mobility. Their compact design makes them easy to maneuver even in tight areas.

If you are looking for an easy ride in your baby, select models with 360deg front wheels that can swivel. However, they are susceptible to punctures so be 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 a decline. They are being replaced by four-wheelers which can handle a wider range of terrain, yet still look swanky and being easy to push.

The basic principle is that the larger the wheels, the easier it will be for your buggy to deal with bumpy ground and rough pavements. The larger wheels, both front and rear allow you to move and more stable when walking downhill or over difficult terrain.

MFM reviewer Kath tried the buggy out with an infant and a toddler and found it to be very sturdy. It was able to handle 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, that are inflatable and need to be pumped up occasionally they have suspension built-in. This was very comfortable for my children.

Another thing to take into consideration is the size of the seat and shape. You'll want it to be large enough for your child's comfort and you will also require it to recline so that they can lie flat. Some three-wheel buggies have a lie-flat option that lets your child face you, while other buggies only permit a parent-facing option.

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 adapts to accommodate two children as your family grows. It is suitable for babies and toddlers from age four and includes a bumper bar, raincover, a better 5-point harness and large cushioned seat. The storage options are great as well, with a large basket, zip pockets in the hood, and an easy-to-access pouch on the rear of the seat unit.

Larger wheels

Larger wheels give your double buggy 3 wheels more stability when driving over rough terrain. This is ideal for buggies designed for off-road use. Additionally, they make it easier to manoeuvre the pushchair through narrow spaces. A lot of three-wheeled buggies come with swivel front wheels to help you navigate around tight corners, while others are specifically designed for running and have fixed front wheels that lock to increase the speed and stability with the speed at which they can be pushed. This is also helpful when you crash into a tree root or stray kerb as the front wheel will rise up to keep you from hitting it.

Many 3 wheel stroller with infant car seat wheeled pushchairs 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 susceptible to punctures and you'll need to have an repair kit, spare inner tube and pump handy.

Mountain Buggy Core, Venicci Carbo and the Venicci Carbo lux are among our top 3-wheelers. According to MFM's Kath, have larger wheels which she claims "perform well on gravel roads, grass and market town cobbles", and can easily climb or descend kerbs. They also have a suspension system which, in her words "smoothes out bumps very effectively".

Buggies with larger wheels can be quite large, and may struggle to fit into narrow spaces. This could be problematic if you intend to are using it as a jogger, or need to fit through doorways that are narrow while out and about. Many models have compact folding options that permit you to take off the front wheels and store them more compactly.

Easy to maneuver

One of the main benefits to a three-wheeled buggy is that it can be much easier to maneuver especially with a child in the back. The way in which they are built ensures that the front wheels spin at a quick pace and are extremely easy to manoeuvre, making them ideal for difficult terrains such as parks, cobbles or 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 pleasure to maneuver over tough ground with the swivel rear wheel particularly useful. I was also impressed by the way it handled bumps, particularly when using the hand-operated brake. It was very stable for descending or on a rough terrain."

The only drawback to this great mobility is that the 3 wheel Push chair wheel buggy's bigger wheels sometimes mean it has to struggle in tight spaces, something to consider especially if you live in a city region. If this is a concern, a 4-wheel buggy might be a better choice for you.

Bumper bar

Bumper bars are the perfect method to shield your little one from scrapes and bumps when out and about. They are easy to put in place and will help your child feel safe and secure out and about.

MFM reviewer Kath discovered that it was able to cope well with grass and cobbles and it's a good option for jogging with its lockable swivel wheel on the front and air-filled tyres.

Kath who was our MFM reviewer, also appreciated the roominess of the buggy. There's a large easily accessible basket that's surprisingly roomy for such a small buggy as well as an excellent zip-up pouch on the back of the seat unit and even 2 smaller mesh pockets in the hood for your phone and keys.
