Three Wheeled Buggies

If you're looking for a buggy to run with or just a nifty stroller to tackle strolls around the neighborhood, three wheel pushchairs-wheeled buggies offer great mobility. Their compact design makes them easy to maneuver even in tight spots.

If you want an easy ride in your pram, choose models with 360deg front wheels that can swivel. They are susceptible, however to punctures. Be prepared with a repair set.

Sturdy frame

Recent figures have been released showing that the three-wheeled buggie - a symbol of the noughties of more money than sanity is in a decline. They have been replaced by four-wheelers that can handle a wider range of terrain, yet still look stylish and easy to push.

The basic principle is that the larger the wheels are, the easier it'll be for your buggy to cope with bumpy ground and rough pavements. Having larger wheels both front and back makes it easier to manoeuvre and more stable when walking downhill or on rough terrain.

MFM reviewer Kath tested this buggy with an infant as well as a child who was 3 years old and found it very sturdy. It handled cobbles, grass, and rough pavements, aswell as dirt tracks and kerbs. Kath said that "it is solid to push and is very stable when traversing difficult terrain. The tyres, which are inflatable and need to be pumped up occasionally and have a suspension built-in. This was very 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 large enough to allow your child to be comfortable and to allow them to lie down. Some three-wheel buggies offer an option to lie flat completely while others allow an adult facing one.

A great choice for tackling off-road or muddy walks is the Roma Atlas. The buggy can be used as a single unit from birth, and then expands to take two children when your family grows. It is suitable for babies and toddlers from age 4 and includes a bumper bar, raincover, a better 5-point harness and a spacious padded seat unit. Storage options are also a plus with a large storage basket and zip pockets on 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 buggies that are off-road. In addition, they allow you to maneuver the pushchair in tight spaces. Many three wheeled buggies have rotating front wheels that aid you in maneuvering around corners with ease, 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 can also help if you bump into the roots of a tree or stray road, as the front wheel will lift up to keep you from hitting it.

A lot of 3 wheel buggy for sale 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.

Some of our favourite 3-wheelers include the Mountain Buggy Core and Venicci Carbo Lux. Both of these buggies have larger wheels that, as per MFM reviewer Kath, "perform really well on gravel tracks, grass and market town cobbles" and are able to easily move up and down kerbs. The buggies also come with suspensions that Kath says "smooths out bumps with great efficiency".

The drawback of having larger wheels is that they make buggies quite large and can struggle to fit through narrow spaces. This is a problem especially if you're using it to an exercise bike or to maneuver through doors that are narrow when out and about. Most models come with compact folding options that allow you to remove the front wheels and store them more compactly.

Easy to Manoeuvre

One of the primary benefits to a three wheel buggy is that it can be much more maneuverable especially with a child in tow. The way in which they are constructed means that the front wheels rotate at a quick pace and are extremely maneuverable, making them ideal for difficult terrains like cobbles, parks or bumpy pavements, as well as dirt tracks.

MFM reviewer Kath tested a 3 wheel stroller for newborn wheeler with her infant and toddler and stated: "The Terrain was a pleasure to navigate over the rough terrain, with the swivel front wheel particularly useful. I was also impressed with how well it coped with the kerbs, particularly when using the hand-operated brake. It was extremely stable when going downhill or on a rough terrain."

The only downside to this amazing maneuverability is that the larger wheels of the 3 wheel twin stroller-wheel buggy may make it difficult to squeeze into tight spaces. This is something you should be aware of when your home is an urban area. If this is a concern then a 4-wheeler might be better for you.
