If you're looking for a smooth ride with your pram, choose models with 360deg front wheels that can swivel. However, they are more prone to punctures so be prepared with an repair kit.
Frame made of sturdy material
New figures show that three-wheeled buggies, the symbol of the noughties that were more expensive than common sense, are in a steep decline. Four-wheelers have replaced them, and are more versatile and easy to drive and look fashionable.
The idea is that the bigger the wheels, the easier it will be for your buggy to cope with bumpy ground and rough pavements. The larger wheels both rear and front enable you to maneuver and more stable when walking downhill or over difficult terrain.
MFM reviewer Kath tried the buggy with a newborn as well as a 3 year old and found that it was able to withstand grass, cobbles, rough pavements, dirt tracks and kerbs. She said "it is sturdy to push and very solid when you're on rough terrain. Its tyres, which are inflated and require to be pumped up regularly and have a suspension built-in. This was very comfortable for my children.
The shape and size of the seat is a further factor to consider. The seat should be big enough for your child to feel at ease and to lie down. Certain three-wheel buggies come with the option of lying flat that allows the child to face you, while others only permit a parent-facing option.
The Roma Atlas is a great option for off-road and walking in muddy areas. It can be used as a single unit from the beginning and can be modified to accommodate two children as your family grows. It is suitable for infants and toddlers until age four and comes with a bumper bar, raincover, an improved 5-point harness, and a large cushioned seat. Storage options are also a plus with a large storage basket with zip pockets on the hood, and a handy pouch at the rear of seat unit.
Wheels with larger diameter
Larger wheels will give your buggy greater stability when driving over rough terrain. This is especially beneficial for off-road buggies. They also allow you to maneuver the pushchair in tight spaces. Some three wheel buggies-wheeled buggies come with rotating wheels on the front, which help you navigate tight corners. Others are designed for running and have fixed wheels that lock for increased speed and stability. This can also help in the event that you hit a tree root or stray road, as the front wheel can be lifted up a bit to prevent you from hitting it.
A majority of 3 wheeled pushchairs have air-filled tyres which allow them to navigate a wide range of terrains. They are also more flexible than 4 wheelers. They're also lighter. However, they are prone to punctures and you'll need to have a repair kit, spare tube, and pump on hand.
Mountain Buggy Core, Venicci Carbo and Venicci Carbo Lux are some of our favourite 3 wheel pushchairs-wheelers. Both of these buggies come with larger wheels that, according to MFM reviewer Kath, "perform really well on gravel tracks, grass and market town cobbles" and are able to easily move up and down kerbs. They also have suspensions that according to Kath "smooths out bumps extremely effectively".
Buggies with larger wheels can be quite wide, and they may be a challenge to fit in tight spaces. This is an issue especially if you're using it to a jogger or to maneuver through narrow doorways when out and about. The majority of models come with compact folding options, which permit you to take off the front wheels and store them in a more compact manner.
Easy to maneuver
A three-wheeler can be more maneuverable for children. The way they are constructed means that the front wheels rotate on a dime and are really easy to maneuver, making them ideal for difficult terrains like cobbles, parks and bumpy pavements as well as dirt tracks.
MFM reviewer Kath tried out a three-wheeler with her infant and toddler and stated: "The Terrain was a delight to maneuver on the ground, with the swivel front wheel being especially helpful. I was also impressed with how well it dealt with kerbs using the hand-operated break. I found it to be extremely stable when driving downhill or over uneven ground."
The only downside to this incredible maneuverability is that the larger wheels of a 3 wheel buggy can sometimes make it difficult to fit into tight spaces. This is something to be aware of if your home area is an urban area. If this is a problem, a 4-wheel buggy might be better for you.
