5 Clarifications Regarding Three Wheeled Buggies
Three Wheeled Buggies
Whether you're looking for a buggy jog with or just a stroller that can be used for neighbourhood walks, three wheeled buggies offer great mobility. Their compact design makes them easy to maneuver even in tight areas.
If you want an easy ride in your pram, choose models with 360deg front wheels with swivel. However, they are prone to punctures so be prepared with an repair kit.
Sturdy frame
New figures show that three-wheeled buggies that were the symbol of the decade that had more money than common sense, are in rapid decline. They have been replaced by four-wheelers that are able to handle a wider variety of terrain, yet still look stylish and easy to push.
The basic principle is that the larger the wheels, the easier it will be for your buggy to cope with rough ground and bumpy pavements. With larger wheels front and back makes it much easier to maneuver and more stable when walking downhill or on rough terrain.
MFM reviewer Kath tried this buggy out with a newborn as well as a 3 year old and found it was able to handle cobbles, grass, rough pavements, dirt tracks and kerbs. Kath wrote "it feels sturdy to push and very solid when you're on rough terrain. The tyres, which are inflatable and require to be pumped up occasionally and have a suspension built-in. This was extremely comfortable for my children.
The size and shape of the seat is another aspect to think about. It is important for the seat to be big enough for your child to feel at ease and to lie down. Certain three-wheel buggies have a full lie-flat option while others only allow for a parent facing one.
A great option for those who want to tackle off-road or muddy walks is the Roma Atlas. It can be used as a single unit from the beginning and can be modified to accommodate two children as your family expands. It is suitable for toddlers and infants from birth until age 4. It comes with a bumper with a rain cover, an upgraded 5-point harness, and a huge cushioned seat. Storage options are also great, with a large basket and zip pockets on the hood and an attractive pouch on the rear of the seat unit.
Larger wheels
Larger wheels mean that your buggy will have more stability on rough terrain - perfect for buggies that are off-road. In addition, they allow you to maneuver the pushchair in tight spaces. Some three-wheeled buggies feature rotating wheels at the front to help you navigate tight corners. Others are designed to run and have fixed wheels that lock for increased speed and stability. This also helps if you bump into a tree root or stray curb, since the front wheel will rise up slightly to prevent you from hitting it.
A lot of 3 wheeled pushchairs come with air-filled tyres, which allows them to navigate a wide range of terrains. They are also more flexible than 4 wheelers. They are also lighter. However, they're susceptible to punctures and you'll need to keep a repair kit, spare inner tube, and pump on hand.
Mountain Buggy Core, Venicci Carbo and Venicci Carbo lux are among our favorite 3-wheelers. Both buggies feature larger wheels that, according to MFM reviewer Kath, "perform really well on grass, gravel tracks and market town cobbles" and are able to effortlessly climb and descend kerbs. 3 wheeler pushchair come with a suspension system that in her words "smoothes out bumps extremely effectively".
Buggies with larger wheels can be quite large, and may struggle to fit into tight spaces. This is an issue when you're using it for an exercise bike or to be able to get through doors that are narrow when out and about. Many models have compact folding options, which let you remove the front wheels and store them more compactly.
Easy to manoeuvre
A three-wheel buggy can be more comfortable to drive with a child. The way they are built ensures that the front wheels spin at a quick pace and are extremely easy to manoeuvre, making them ideal for difficult 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 wrote: "The Terrain was a pleasure to navigate over the rough ground and the swivel front wheel particularly useful. I was also impressed by how well it coped with the kerbs, particularly when using the hand-operated brake. It was extremely stable when for descending or on uneven terrain."
The only drawback to this great maneuverability is that the three wheel buggy's bigger wheels sometimes mean that it will struggle in tight spaces - something to consider if you live in a metropolitan region. If this is a concern, a 4-wheel buggy might be a better option for you.
