Everything You Need To Learn About Three Wheeled Buggies
Three Wheeled Buggies
Three-wheeled buggies are great for walking around the neighborhood or jogging. Their compact design makes them easy to manoeuvre even in tight spaces.
For a smooth ride, go for a pram that has air-filled tyres. Look for models with a 360deg front swivel wheel. However, they are susceptible to punctures, so make sure you are prepared with an repair kit.
Frame made of sturdy material
The latest figures have been released showing that the three-wheeled vehicle - a symbol of the noughties of more money than sanity - is in steep decline. Four-wheelers are replacing them, and are more flexible and simple to drive, while also looking stylish.
The bigger the wheels are, the more your buggy will be able to deal with bumpy and uneven pavements. The larger wheels, both front and rear allow you to maneuver and more stable when walking downhill or over difficult terrain.
MFM reviewer Kath tested the buggy with a newborn and 3 year old and found it was able to handle grass, cobbles, rough pavements, dirt tracks and kerbs. Kath said that "it feels sturdy to push and is very stable when traversing difficult terrain. Its tyres (which are inflatable, so require occasional pumping) offer built-in suspension, which was very comfortable for my kids.
The size and shape of the seat is another thing to consider. It should be large enough to accommodate your child's comfort. You will also need it to recline so that they can lie flat. Some three-wheel buggies offer the option of lying flat, which lets your child face you, whereas others only allow a face-to-parent one.
An excellent option for taking on off-road and muddy walks is the Roma Atlas. This buggy is ideal for a single child from birth, and can be adapted to accommodate two children as your family expands. 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 cushioned seat. The storage options are great as well, with a large basket, zip pockets in the hood and an easy-to-access pouch on the rear of the seat unit.
Larger wheels
Larger wheels means that your buggy will be more stable on rough terrain - ideal for buggies that are off-road. In addition, they help you maneuver the buggy through tight spaces. Some three-wheeled buggies come with swivel wheels on the front, which help you navigate tight corners. Others are designed to run and have fixed wheels that lock for greater speed and stability. This also helps when you crash into an unintentional tree root or road, as the front wheel can be lifted up slightly to prevent you from hitting it.
Many 3 wheeled pushchairs have 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. However, they are prone to punctures so you'll need an repair kit, spare inner tube and pump handy.
Mountain Buggy Core, Venicci Carbo and the Venicci Carbo lux are among our top best 3 wheel pushchair-wheelers. These buggies, as per MFM's Kath, have larger wheels that according to her "perform well on gravel roads, grass and market town cobbles" and are able to go up or down kerbs. They also come with a suspension system that according to her "smoothes out bumps extremely effectively".
Buggies with larger wheels can be quite wide and can be difficult to fit in tight spaces. This can be a problem if you are using it as a jogger or you need to get through doorways that are narrow when traveling. Luckily, most models have small 3 wheel stroller folding options that allow you to remove the front wheels to create more compact storage.
Easy to manoeuvre
One of the major advantages to a three-wheeled buggy is that it's much easier to maneuver, especially with a child in the back. The way in which they are constructed means that the front wheels rotate at a quick pace and are incredibly easy to manoeuvre, making them ideal for tricky terrain such as parks, cobbles or bumpy pavements, as well as dirt tracks.
MFM reviewer Kath tried a 3-wheeler with her toddler, and she reported: "The Terrain is a delight to navigate on rough terrain. The front swivel wheel was particularly useful." I was also impressed by the way it handled kerbs, especially when using the brake operated by hand. It was extremely stable when for descending or on a rough terrain."
The only drawback to this amazing maneuverability is that the 3 wheel all terrain buggy wheel buggy's larger wheels do sometimes mean that it will be difficult to maneuver in tight spaces - something to be aware of especially if you live in a metropolitan area. If this is a problem then a 4-wheeled buggy could be a better option for you.

The sling seat made of fabric sits snug inside the frame rather than sitting on top like modular seats, delivering the lower centre of gravity at the ideal height for your newborn and also providing excellent weight distribution for easy kerb pop (it takes much less effort to push the buggy over and up the curb than you think).
