The Unspoken Secrets Of Three Wheeled Buggies
Three Wheeled Buggies
If you're seeking a buggy to jog with or just a compact stroller for strolls around the neighborhood, three-wheeled buggies are great for mobility. Their compact design makes them easy to maneuver even in tight areas.
For a smooth ride, go for a pram fitted with air-filled tyres. Also, look for models with 360deg front swivel wheels. However, they are susceptible to punctures, so make sure you are prepared with an repair kit.
Sturdy frame
Recent figures have been released showing that the three-wheeled buggy - that noughties symbol of more money than sanity is in a 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 They have been replaced by four-wheelers that are able to handle a wider variety of terrain, yet still look stylish and easy to push.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 bigger the wheels are, the better your buggy can deal with bumpy and uneven pavements. The larger wheels on both the front and back also makes it easier to manoeuvre and more stable when walking downhill or on difficult terrain.
MFM reviewer Kath tried this buggy on an infant and a toddler and found it to be extremely durable. It was able to handle cobbles, grass, and rough pavements, as well as dirt tracks and kerbs. She said that it felt sturdy to push, and extremely solid on rough terrain. Its tyres (which are inflatable so need occasionally pumping) come with suspension built-in, which was very comfortable for my kids.
The size and shape of the seat is another thing to consider. You'll want it to be big enough for your child's comfort. You will also need it to recline for them to lie flat. Some three-wheel buggies will have the option of reclining completely, while others allow the parent to be facing one.
A great choice for tackling off-road and muddy trails 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 grows. 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 large padded seat. Storage options are also good with a large basket with zip pockets on the hood, and a handy pouch at the rear of seat unit.
Larger wheels
Larger wheels will give your buggy greater stability when driving on rough terrain. This is ideal for buggies that are off-road. They also allow you to maneuver the pushchair in tight spaces. pushchairsandprams of three-wheeled buggies come with rotating front wheels that help you navigate around tight corners, whereas others are designed for running and come with fixed front wheels that lock to increase the speed and stability with which they can be driven. This is also helpful in the event that you hit a tree root or stray road, as the front wheel will lift up a bit to prevent you from hitting it.
Many 3 wheeled pushchairs have air-filled tyres which allow them to handle a wide range of terrains. They are also more flexible than 4 wheelers. They're also lighter. They are more prone to punctures, so you will need to have an repair kit and spare inner tube on hand.
Our top 3-wheelers include the Mountain Buggy Core and Venicci Carbo Lux. Both of these buggies have larger wheels that, according to 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, in her words "smoothes out bumps very effectively".
Buggies with bigger wheels can be quite large, and may struggle to fit into tight spaces. This can be an issue if you plan to use it for jogging, or need to fit through doorways that are narrow while traveling. Luckily, most models have small folding options that let you take off the front wheels for more compact storage.
Easy to Manoeuvre
A three-wheel buggy can be easier to maneuver with a child. The way in which they are constructed means that the front wheels turn at a quick pace and are incredibly easy to maneuver and are ideal for tricky terrain like cobbles, parks or bumpy pavements, as well as dirt tracks.
MFM reviewer Kath tried a 3-wheeler with her toddler and newborn and stated: "The Terrain was a delight to maneuver on the ground and the swivel front wheel being particularly helpful. I was also awed by how well it dealt with kerbs using the hand-operated break. It was very stable going downhill or on uneven terrain."
The only downside to this great maneuverability, is that the larger wheels of the 3 wheel buggy can sometimes make it difficult to squeeze into tight spaces. This is something you should be aware of if your home area is one of the cities. If this is a concern, a 4-wheel buggy might be a better option for you.
Bumper bar
Bumper bars are the perfect method to shield your little one from bumps and scrapes when out and out and about. They are easy and quick to put up and help your child feel secure and safe while out on the town or on the trail.

The sling's fabric is placed inside the frame, not on top like the modular seat. This creates a lower centre of gravity for your infant at the right height and also offers an excellent weight distribution, making it easier to pop over curbs (it is much easier to push a stroller up and over than you think). MFM reviewer Kath said it's ideal on cobbles and grass. It's also a great option for running thanks to its air-filled tyres and lockable swivel wheel.
