5 Clarifications On Three Wheeled Buggies
Three Wheeled Buggies
Three-wheeled buggies are great for strolling around the neighborhood or running. Their compact design allows them to be maneuvered easily even in tight areas.
For an easy ride, opt for a pram that has air-filled tyres. Look for models with a 360deg front swivel wheel. However, they are susceptible to punctures so be prepared with a repair kit.
Sturdy frame
New figures show that the three-wheeled buggies, the symbol of the noughties that had more money than common sense, are in rapid decline. They have been replaced by four-wheelers that can be more versatile in terrain, yet still look swanky and being easy to push.
The general idea is that the bigger the wheels, the easier it will be for your buggy to deal with bumpy ground and rough pavements. Having larger wheels both front and back also makes it much easier to manoeuvre and more stable when walking downhill or over difficult terrain.
MFM reviewer Kath tested the buggy with a newborn and 3 wheel stroller with bassinet year old and found it coped well with grass, cobbles rough roads, dirt tracks and kerbs. She noted that it was solid to push, and extremely solid on rough terrain. Its tyres, which are inflatable and require to be pumped up regularly and have a suspension built-in. This was extremely comfortable for my kids.
Another thing to think about is the size of the seat and shape. It is important for the seat to be large enough to allow your child to be comfortable and to allow them to lie down. Some three-wheel buggies offer an option to lie flat completely while others only allow for a parent facing one.
A great choice for tackling off-road and muddy walks is the Roma Atlas. This buggy is suitable for a single child as early as birth, and can be adapted to accommodate two children as your family grows. It is suitable for infants and toddlers from birth to age 4, and includes a bumper with a rain cover, an upgraded 5-point harness, and a big padded seat. The storage options are good too, with a decent-sized basket, zip pockets inside the hood, and an attractive pouch at the back of the seat unit.
Larger wheels
Larger wheels means that your buggy will have more stability on rough terrain - ideal for buggies that are off-road. They also help you move the pushchair around tight spaces. Many three wheeled buggies feature rotating front wheels that aid you in maneuvering around tight corners, while others are specifically 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 helpful in the event that you hit a tree root or stray curb, since the front wheel will rise up to keep you from hitting it.
Many 3 wheel pushchairs feature air-filled tyres. This means they can handle different terrains and are much more flexible than 4-wheeler. They're also lighter. However, they're prone to punctures and you'll need to keep an repair kit, spare tube, and pump on hand.
Mountain Buggy Core, Venicci Carbo and the Venicci Carbo lux are among our top 3-wheelers. These buggies, according to MFM's Kath, have larger wheels which, she says "perform well on grass, gravel roads and market town cobbles", and can easily move up and down kerbs. They also have a suspension system that, in her words "smoothes out bumps with great efficiency".
Buggies with larger wheels may be quite wide, and may struggle to fit in tight spaces. This is a problem if you use it as a jogger, or need to fit through narrow doorways while traveling. Fortunately, many models come with compact folding options that allow you to remove the front wheels to make compact storage.
Easy to manoeuvre
One of the major advantages to a three-wheeled buggy is that it is much more maneuverable particularly with a child on the way. The way in which they are constructed means that the front wheels spin at a whim and are extremely easy to maneuver and are ideal for tricky terrain such as parks, cobbles or bumpy pavements, as well as dirt tracks.
MFM reviewer Kath tested a 3 wheeler with her toddler and newborn and stated: "The Terrain was a delight to maneuver on the ground with the swivel rear wheel particularly useful. I was also impressed by the way it handled the kerbs, particularly when using the brake operated by hand. I found it extremely steady when I was driving downhill or over uneven terrain."
The only downside to this great maneuverability, is that the larger wheels of the 3 wheel baby strollers wheel buggy can sometimes make it difficult to fit into tight spaces. This is something you need to be aware of if your home area is an urban area. If this is a problem, a 4-wheeled buggy may be the better choice for you.
