Ten Common Misconceptions About Three Wheeled Buggies That Aren't Always True

Three Wheeled Buggies

If you're looking for a buggy run with or just a compact stroller for neighbourhood walks, three wheeled buggies provide great mobility. Their compact design makes them easy to maneuver even in tight spaces.

If you want an easy ride in your baby, opt for models with 360deg front wheels that can swivel. However, they are more prone to punctures, so make sure you are prepared with an repair kit.

Frame made of sturdy material

New figures show that the three-wheeled buggies, that symbol of the noughties that were more expensive than common sense, are in a steep decline. They are being replaced by four-wheelers that can handle a wider range of terrain, while still looking elegant and easy to push.

The bigger the wheels are the better your buggy will cope with bumpy surfaces and uneven pavements. With larger wheels front and back also makes it much easier to manoeuvre and more stable when walking downhill or on rough terrain.

MFM reviewer Kath tried the buggy with a newborn and a 3 year old and found that it was able to handle grass, cobbles rough roads, dirt tracks, and kerbs. She said "it is sturdy to push and is very stable when you're on rough terrain. The tyres, which are inflated and require to be pumped regularly and have a suspension built-in. This was very comfortable for my kids.

Another thing to take into consideration is the size of the seat and shape. You'll want it to be big enough for your child's comfort and you will also want it to be able to recline to allow them to lie flat. Some three-wheel buggies will have a full lie-flat option while others will only allow an adult facing one.

The Roma Atlas is a great option for off-road and walking in muddy areas. It can be used as a one-person unit from birth, and then expands to accommodate two children as your family grows. It is suitable for toddlers and infants from birth to age 4 and comes with a bumper and raincover, a new 5-point harness, and a huge padded seat. The storage options are great as well, with a decent-sized basket, zip pockets on the hood and an attractive pouch at the back of the seat unit.

Larger wheels

Larger wheels means that your buggy will be more stable on rough terrain - perfect for buggies designed for off-road use. Additionally, they help you maneuver the pushchair in tight spaces. Many three wheeled buggies have rotating front wheels that assist you in maneuvering around corners with ease, whereas others are specifically designed for running and have fixed front wheels that lock to increase the speed and stability at the speed at which they can be pushed. This is also helpful when you crash into the roots of a tree or stray curb, since the front wheel will rise up to keep you from hitting it.

Many 3 wheeled pushchair s have air-filled tyres that allow them to handle a wide range of terrains. They are also more flexible than 4 wheelers. They are also lighter. However, they're susceptible to punctures so you'll need to keep an repair kit, spare inner tube and pump handy.

Mountain Buggy Core, Venicci Carbo and the Venicci Carbo lux are among our top 3-wheelers. Both of these buggies have larger wheels that, according to MFM reviewer Kath, "perform really well on grass, gravel tracks and market town cobbles" and are able to effortlessly go up and down kerbs. They also have suspensions that, according to Kath "smooths out bumps very effectively".

The downside of having larger wheels is that they make buggies quite large and make it difficult to get through narrow spaces. This could be problematic if you intend to use it for jogging, or need to fit through doorways that are narrow while on the move. Fortunately, many models come with small folding options that allow you to remove the front wheels for more compact storage.

Easy to Manoeuvre

One of the primary benefits to a three-wheeled buggy is that it's much more maneuverable especially with a child in the back. The way in which they are constructed means that the front wheels rotate on a dime 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 infant and toddler and said: "The Terrain was a pleasure to navigate over the rough terrain 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 very stable in the downhills or on a rough terrain."

The only drawback to this amazing maneuverability is that the larger wheels of a 3 wheel buggy might make it difficult to squeeze into tight spaces. This is something to keep in mind when you live in a city. If this is a problem then a 4-wheeled buggy could be the better choice for you.
