10 Life Lessons We Can Take From Three Wheeled Buggies
Three Wheeled Buggies
Three-wheeled buggies are great for walking around the neighborhood or running. Their compact 3 wheel stroller design allows them to be maneuvered easily even in tight spaces.
For an easy ride, opt for a pram with air-filled tyres. Look for models with an swivel wheel that rotates 360 degrees in front. They are susceptible, however, to punctures. Make sure you have an repair kit.
Sturdy frame
New figures show that the three-wheeled buggies that were the symbol of the decade that had more money than common sense, are in rapid decline. Four-wheelers are replacing them, and are more versatile and easier to drive while still looking fashionable.
The basic idea is that the bigger the wheels are, the easier it'll be for your buggy to cope with rough ground and bumpy pavements. The larger wheels both rear and front allow you to maneuver and more stable when walking downhill or over difficult terrain.
MFM reviewer Kath tried this buggy out with a newborn and best 3 wheel stroller with car seat year old and found that it was able to handle cobbles, grass rough roads, dirt tracks and kerbs. Kath wrote "it feels sturdy to push and is very stable when you're on rough terrain. Its tyres (which are inflatable, so require occasional pumping) have suspension built-in, which was very comfortable for my children.
The size and shape of the seat is a further factor to think about. 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 the option of lying flat that lets your child face you, while others only allow a parent-facing one.
The Roma Atlas is a great option for off-road or muddy walks. It can be used as a single unit from the beginning and can be modified to take two children when your family expands. It is suitable for infants and toddlers from birth to age 4. It comes with a bumper with a rain cover, an upgraded 5-point harness, and a huge cushioned seat. The storage options are great as well, with a large basket, zip pockets in the hood, and a handy pouch on the rear of the seat unit.
Larger wheels
Larger wheels give your buggy greater stability when driving over rough terrain. This is especially beneficial for off-road buggies. They also allow you to navigate the pushchair through tight spaces. Many three wheeled buggies feature swivel front wheels to aid you in maneuvering around corners with ease, whereas others are designed for running and come with fixed front wheels that lock to improve the speed and stability at which they can be pushed. This is especially useful when you crash into trees or a kerb. The front wheel will lift slightly to keep it from hitting it.
A lot of 3 wheel pushchair off road (read this post from Tuis) wheeled pushchairs come with air-filled tyres, which allows them to handle a wide 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 a repair kit, spare tube and pump handy.
Some of our favourite 3 wheel stroller brands-wheelers include the Mountain Buggy Core and Venicci Carbo Lux. Both of these buggies have larger wheels that, as per MFM reviewer Kath, "perform really well on gravel tracks, grass and market town cobbles" and are able to easily go up and down kerbs. They also have a suspension system which according to her "smoothes out bumps with great efficiency".
Buggies with larger wheels may be quite wide and may struggle to fit into tight spaces. This could be an issue if you plan to use it as a jogger or have to squeeze through doorways that are narrow while traveling. Fortunately, many models come with small folding options that let you take off the front wheels for more compact storage.
Easy to manoeuvre
One of the primary benefits to a three wheel buggy is that it's much easier to maneuver particularly with a child on the way. They are designed to ensure that the front wheels can rotate at a moment's notice, and are easy to move, making them ideal for challenging terrain such as parks, cobblestones, bumpy roads, and dirt tracks.
MFM reviewer Kath tried a 3-wheeler with her toddler. she wrote: "The Terrain is a delight to navigate on rough terrain. The front swivel wheel was especially helpful." I was also awed by the way it handled kerbs when using the hand-operated break. It was extremely stable when going downhill or on a rough terrain."
The only drawback to this amazing maneuverability is that the best 3 wheel pushchair wheel buggy's bigger wheels sometimes mean that it will struggle in tight spaces, something to be aware of if you live in a city area. If this is the case then a four-wheeled buggy might be the better option for you.

Kath who was our MFM reviewer, also loved the space of this buggy. There's a big easily accessible basket that's surprisingly roomy for a buggy this small and there's an easy-to-use pouch that zips up at the back of the seat unit, and even 2 smaller mesh pockets in the hood to store your phone and keys.
