Everything You Need To Know About Three Wheeled Buggies

Three Wheeled Buggies

Three-wheeled buggies are great for walking around the neighborhood or running. Their compact design makes it easy to maneuver even in tight places.

For a smooth ride, opt for a pram that has air-filled tyres. Look for models with 360deg front swivel wheels. However, they are prone to punctures so be prepared with a repair kit.

Frame made of sturdy material

New data show that three-wheeled buggies that were the symbol of the noughties that had more money than common sense, are in steep decline. Four-wheelers have replaced them, and are more versatile and easier to drive while still looking stylish.

The larger the wheels are the more your buggy will be able to deal with bumpy and uneven pavements. Having larger wheels both front and back also makes it much easier to manoeuvre and more stable when walking downhill or on difficult terrain.

MFM reviewer Kath tried the buggy with a newborn and 3 year old and found that it coped well with cobbles, grass, rough pavements, dirt tracks and kerbs. Kath wrote "it feels sturdy to push and very solid when traversing difficult terrain. The tyres, which are inflatable and require to be pumped regularly and have a suspension built-in. It was extremely comfortable for my children.

The size and shape of the seat is another aspect to consider. The seat should be big enough to allow your child to feel at ease and to lie down. Certain three-wheel buggies have a full lie-flat option while others will only allow a parent facing one.

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 the beginning and can be modified to accommodate two children as your family expands. It is suitable for infants and toddlers from age 4 and comes with a bumper bar, raincover, improved 5-point harness, and a large cushioned seat unit. Storage options are also a plus with a large basket, zip pockets on the hood, and an attractive pouch on the rear of the seat unit.

Wheels with larger diameter

Larger wheels means that your buggy will be more stable on rough terrain - ideal for buggies that are off-road. They also help you maneuver the pushchair in tight spaces. Many three wheeled buggies have the front wheels that swivel to assist you in maneuvering around corners with ease, whereas others are specifically designed for running and have fixed front wheels that lock to improve the speed and stability with the speed at which they can be pushed. This is also helpful if you bump into an unintentional tree root or road, as the front wheel can be lifted up slightly to prevent you from hitting it.

A lot of 3 wheeled pushchairs come with 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. They are prone to punctures, so you'll require an repair kit and spare inner tubes on hand.

Some of our favourite 3 wheel stroller with seat-wheelers include the Mountain Buggy Core and Venicci Carbo Lux. These buggies, as per MFM's Kath, have larger wheels, which according to her "perform well on gravel roads, grass and market town cobbles" and are able to climb or descend kerbs. They also come with a suspension system that, in her words "smoothes out bumps with great efficiency".

Buggies with bigger wheels can be quite wide, and can be difficult to fit into narrow spaces. This can be an issue if you're using it as a jogger or to be able to get through narrow doorways when out and out and about. Fortunately, the majority of models come with small folding options that allow you to take off the front wheels to create more compact storage.

Easy to maneuver

One of the major advantages of a three-wheel buggy is that it is much easier to maneuver, especially with a child on the way. They are designed so that the front wheels can be turned on a dime and are easy to move, making them ideal for challenging terrain such as cobblestones, parks, bumpy roads, and dirt tracks.

MFM reviewer Kath tested a 3 wheel umbrella stroller wheeler with her toddler and newborn and said: "The Terrain was a delight to maneuver on the ground, with the swivel front wheel particularly useful. I was also awed by the way it handled kerbs with the hand-operated break. I found it extremely stable when going downhill or over uneven ground."

The only downside to this great maneuverability, is that the larger wheels of the 3 wheel buggy can sometimes make it difficult to fit into tight spaces. This is something you should keep in mind when your home is a city. If this is an issue, a 4-wheel buggy might be a better choice for you.
