Five Things You Didn't Know About Three Wheeled Buggies

Three Wheeled Buggies Whether you're looking for a buggy run 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 spots. If you're looking for a smooth ride on your baby, select models with 360deg front wheels with swivel. They are, however, susceptible, to punctures. Be prepared with an emergency repair kit. Sturdy frame The latest figures have been released showing that the three-wheeled buggie – that noughties symbol of more money than sanity – is in steep decline. Four-wheelers are replacing them, and are more versatile and easy to drive, while also looking stylish. The basic rule is that the bigger the wheels are, the easier it'll be for your buggy to cope with bumpy ground and rough pavements. With larger wheels front and back also makes it easier to manoeuvre and more stable when walking downhill or on rough terrain. MFM reviewer Kath tried the buggy out with an infant and a toddler and found it extremely durable. It was able to withstand grass, cobbles and rough pavements, as well as dirt tracks and kerbs. She said “it is sturdy to push and is very stable when traversing difficult terrain. Its tyres, which are inflated and require to be pumped regularly they have suspension built-in. It was extremely comfortable for my children. The size and shape of the seat is a further factor to consider. You want the seat to be large enough for your child to feel comfortable and to allow them to lie down. Certain three-wheel buggies have a full lie-flat option while others only allow for a parent facing one. The Roma Atlas is a great alternative for off-road or muddy walks. The buggy can be used as a one-person unit from birth and then adapts to accommodate two children as your family expands. It is suitable for babies and toddlers until age four and comes with a bumper bar, raincover, an improved 5-point harness and large cushioned seat unit. The storage options are good as well, with a decent-sized basket, zip pockets inside the hood, and a handy pouch on the rear of the seat unit. Larger wheels Larger wheels mean your buggy will be more stable on rough terrain – ideal for off-road buggies. They also allow you to maneuver the buggy through tight spaces. A lot of three-wheeled buggies come with swivel front wheels to help you navigate around tight corners, whereas others are designed for running and come with fixed front wheels that lock to improve the speed and stability at which they can be pushed. This is also helpful in the event that you hit an unintentional tree root or curb, since the front wheel will rise up a bit to prevent you from hitting it. Many 3 wheeled pushchairs have air-filled tyres, which allows them to navigate a wide range of terrains. They are also more flexible than 4 wheelers. They're also lighter. They are also more susceptible to punctures, so you will need to have a repair kit and spare inner tube in your arsenal. Our top 3-wheelers include the Mountain Buggy Core and Venicci Carbo Lux. These buggies, according to MFM's Kath, have larger wheels, which according to her “perform well on grass, gravel roads and market town cobbles” and are able to move up and down kerbs. They also come with a suspension system that in her words “smoothes out bumps with great efficiency”. The drawback of having larger wheels is that they can make some buggies quite wide and make it difficult to get through narrow spaces. This is a problem especially if you're using it to a jogger or to be able to get through doors that are narrow when out and out and about. Many models have small folding options that let you remove the front wheels and store them in a more compact manner. Easy to Manoeuvre One of the primary benefits of a three-wheel buggy is that it is much more maneuverable especially with a child in tow. They are designed so that the front wheels can rotate at a moment's notice, and are easy to navigate, making them ideal for challenging terrain such as parks, cobblestones as well as bumpy roads and dirt tracks. MFM reviewer Kath tried the 3-wheeler with her toddler, and she reported: “The Terrain is a joy to maneuver on rough terrain. The swivel wheel in the front was especially useful.” I was also impressed by how well it dealt with kerbs, especially when using the brake operated by hand. I found it to be extremely steady when I was driving downhill or over uneven ground.” The only drawback to this amazing maneuverability is that the three wheel buggy's larger wheels sometimes mean that it can struggle in tight spaces – something to be aware of if you live in a metropolitan region.
