Three Wheeled Buggies
If you're looking for a buggy run with or just a stroller that can be used for the neighborhood, three-wheeled buggies are great for mobility. Their compact design makes it easy to maneuver even in tight spots.
For a smooth ride, go for a pram that has air-filled tyres. Also, look for models with a 360deg front swivel wheel. They are susceptible, however, to punctures. Be prepared with an emergency repair kit.
Frame made of sturdy material
Recent figures have been released that show that the three-wheeled vehicle which was a symbol of the decade of more money than sanity is on the verge of disappearing. Four-wheelers have replaced them, which are more versatile and easy to drive while still looking elegant.
The rule is that the bigger the wheels are, the easier it will be for your buggy to deal with bumpy ground and rough pavements. The larger wheels both rear and front allow you to maneuver and more stable when walking downhill or over difficult terrain.
MFM reviewer Kath tried this buggy out with a newborn and 3 year old and found it coped well with cobbles, grass, rough roads, dirt tracks, and kerbs. She said that it felt solid to push, and very stable on difficult terrain. The tyres, which are inflated and require to be pumped up regularly and have a suspension built-in. This was extremely comfortable for my children.
Another thing to take into consideration is the size of the seat and shape. You will want it to be large enough for your child's comfort. You will also want it to be able to recline to allow them to lie flat. Some three-wheel buggies offer the option of lying flat, which lets your child face you, while other buggies only allow a parent-facing one.
An excellent option for taking on off-road and muddy walks is the Roma Atlas. This buggy is ideal for a single child from birth, and can be adapted to accommodate two children as your family grows. It is suitable for toddlers and infants from birth until age 4, and includes a bumper and raincover, a new 5-point harness, and a large padded seat. The storage options are excellent as well, with a decent-sized basket, zip pockets in the hood and an easy-to-access pouch on the back of the seat unit.
Larger wheels
Larger wheels means that your buggy will have more stability on rough terrain - ideal for off-road buggies. They also help you maneuver the pushchair in tight spaces. Certain three-wheeled buggies have wheels that swivel on the front, which aid in maneuvering around tight corners. Others are designed to run and have fixed wheels that lock for increased speed and stability. This is especially useful when you hit a tree or a kerb. The front wheel can be lifted slightly to prevent hitting it.
Many 3 wheel pushchairs feature air filled tyres which means they can handle different terrains and are much more flexible than 4-wheeler. 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.
Our top three-wheelers include the Mountain Buggy Core and Venicci Carbo Lux. Both buggies feature larger wheels that, according to MFM reviewer Kath, "perform really well on gravel tracks, grass and market town cobbles" and can easily move up and down kerbs. They also have a suspension system which according to her "smoothes out bumps with great efficiency".
The downside of having bigger wheels is that they make some buggies quite wide and may struggle to squeeze through narrow spaces. This could be problematic if you intend to use it as a jogger or have to squeeze through doorways that are narrow when on the move. Most models come with small folding options that allow you to remove the front wheels and store them more compactly.
Easy to Manoeuvre
One of the main benefits of a three-wheel buggy is that it can be much easier to maneuver particularly with a child in the back. The way in which they are constructed means that the front wheels rotate at a whim and are incredibly easy to maneuver, making them ideal for difficult terrain such as parks, cobbles or bumpy pavements, as well as dirt tracks.
MFM reviewer Kath tried an all-wheeler with her toddler. she reported: "The Terrain is a joy to maneuver on uneven terrain. The swivel wheel front was especially useful." I was also impressed by how well it dealt with bumps, particularly when using the brake operated by hand. It was extremely stable when for descending or on uneven terrain."
The only downside of this incredible maneuverability is that the three wheel buggy's larger wheels sometimes mean that it can be difficult to maneuver in tight spaces - something to keep in mind especially if you live in a metropolitan region. If this is an issue then a four-wheeled buggy might be the better choice for you.
