The Hidden Secrets Of Three Wheeled Buggies
Three Wheeled Buggies
Whether you're seeking 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 them easy to maneuver, even in tight places.
For an easy ride, opt for a pram that has air-filled tyres and look for models with an swivel wheel that rotates 360 degrees in front. However, they are prone to punctures, so be prepared with a repair kit.
Frame made of sturdy material
Figures have just been released that show that the three-wheeled buggy - a symbol of the noughties of more money than sanity is in a decline. Four-wheelers have replaced them, and are more flexible and simple to drive while still looking fashionable.
The basic principle is that the larger the wheels, the easier it will be for your buggy to cope with rough ground and bumpy pavements. The larger wheels both rear and front, make it easier to maneuver and more stable when walking downhill or in difficult terrain.
MFM reviewer Kath tried the buggy with a newborn and a 3 wheel pushchair off Road year old and found it coped well with grass, cobbles, rough roads, dirt tracks and kerbs. She said "it is sturdy to push and very solid when going over difficult terrain. Its tyres, which are inflatable and need to be pumped up occasionally, have built-in suspension. This was extremely comfortable for my kids.
Another thing to consider is the seat size and shape. The seat should be big enough to allow your child to feel comfortable and allow them to lie down. Certain three-wheel buggies come with the option of lying flat, which allows your child to lie flat and face you, whereas others only allow a parent-facing one.
The Roma Atlas is a great option for off-road and wet walks. This buggy is ideal for a single child starting from birth and can be adjusted 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, an improved 5-point harness and large cushioned seat unit. Storage options are also great, with a large basket and zip pockets on the hood, and an extra pouch at the rear of seat unit.
Wheels with a larger diameter
Larger wheels mean that your buggy will be more stable on rough terrain - ideal for buggies designed for off-road use. They also make it easier to move the pushchair around tight spaces. A lot of three-wheeled buggies come with swivel front wheels to assist you in maneuvering around tight corners, while others are designed for running and have fixed front wheels that lock to improve the speed and stability at the speed at which they can be pushed. This is particularly useful when you hit a tree or a kerb. The front wheel will be lifted slightly to avoid hitting it.
A majority of 3 wheeled pushchairs have air-filled tyres, which allows them to navigate a wide range of terrains. They are also more flexible than 4 wheelers. They're also lighter. They are more prone to punctures, and you'll need to have a repair kit and spare inner tube on hand.
Some of our favourite 3 wheeled travel system-wheelers include the Mountain Buggy Core and Venicci Carbo Lux. According to MFM's Kath, have larger wheels that according to her "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 with great efficiency".
Buggies with bigger wheels can be quite large, and they may be a challenge to fit in tight spaces. This can be an issue if you plan to are using it as a jogger or have to squeeze through narrow doorways while traveling. Luckily, most models have small folding options that let you remove the front wheels to make compact storage.
Easy to Manoeuvre
A three-wheel buggy can be more comfortable to drive with children. The way in which they are built ensures that the front wheels spin at a whim and are really maneuverable and are ideal for tricky terrain like cobbles, parks or bumpy pavements, as well as dirt tracks.
MFM reviewer Kath tried out a three-wheeler with her toddler and newborn and said: "The Terrain was a pleasure to maneuver over tough ground, with the swivel front wheel particularly useful. I was also amazed by how well it handled kerbs with the hand-operated break. I found it extremely stable when driving downhill or over uneven terrain."
The only drawback to this great maneuverability is that the three wheel buggy's bigger wheels sometimes mean that it will struggle in tight spaces - something to keep in mind when you live in a city area. If this is a problem then a four-wheeled buggy might be a better option for you.
Bumper bar
Bumper bars are the perfect method to shield your child from scrapes and bumps while out and out and about. These bumper bars are simple to install, and will make your child feel secure and safe out and out and about.

The fabric sling sits snugly within the frame, not on top like the modular seat. This provides a lower centre of gravity for your infant at the perfect height and also delivers great weight distribution, making it easier to pop over curbs (it is much easier to push a stroller up and down than you may think). MFM reviewer Kath said it was excellent on cobbles and grass. It's also a good option for running thanks to its air-filled tyres as well as a locking swivel wheels.

Kath who was our MFM reviewer, also adored the roominess of this buggy. There's a nimble large basket that's quite spacious for a buggy of this size. Additionally, there's a handy pouch on the back of the unit, and 2 smaller mesh pockets underneath the hood to keep your keys and phone.
