Pram Help???? 3 Wheelers vs 4 wheelers??

[kristy J]

I have a 4 wheeler, but, the only 3 wheeler i have heard possitive things about is the phil and ted sport's and the mountain buggy ones.

my cousin has the Beema Q and it sometimes tips a bit if her son gets a bit jumpy as all toddlers do.

hope this helps.

I forgot to add: if cargo space is needed I don't think anything beats the Emmaljunga's ability to carry a Huggies box. I've popped a Huggies box in my cargo basket on my gallery pram piccy 'cos no one believed me! LOL

I have a 3 wheeler phil and teds sports and theres no chance in tipping it. I also have a 4 wheeler stroller and love that too. I think its just personal taste to be honest.

Like LUEY ... I too loved my 3 wheeler Beema Q for ALL the same reason as her.

I also live in the country, yep flat too but some gravel footpaths.

... Only thing I wasn't too crazy on was the length of the pram, nearly ran down a few people coming around shop aisles & thought the pram was a little bit heavy

Otherwise loved everything else about it for a newborn bub

When my daughter was 5mths old I decided to get a four wheel Valcro stroller (Halliquin pattern), they are still $169 at BabyCo (near Highpoint S/C, Victoria). Extremely light-weight !!!

The stroller was more suitable getting around shops, onto public transport, etc ...

Why not checkout eBay, ... We sold our Beema Q & raincover on eBay in almost new, absolutely excellent condition both for $180 (was $399 plus $45 for the rain/wind cover)

Could even ask the Seller if you could check it out before bidding ... Just an idea

Thanks everyone, think I'll give the 3 wheeler a go, if I have any dramas I've got my 4 wheeler to fall back on.
Thanks for all your help.

I have a 3 wheeler mothers choice. I love it. Easy to push and fits though checkouts.

I've just been looking around, and had basically short-listed the P&T Sports and the Beema Q. In the end I'm going with the P&T sports for the following reasons:
- looked at my friend's e3 (the previous version) and she's been thrilled with it
- bit lighter than the Beema Q
- will cope with 2 if I have a second
- the shape it folds to will fit in my boot better than the Beema Q (given I'm trying to fit a decent sized dog in too).

I also just felt the P&T was just that bit more compact/less fussy. The Beema Q just seemed more bulky, so saying, they've both got a reasonably narrow wheel base for a 3 wheeler.
Good to hear that people are loving their P&T sports now i"m just going to wait for it to be on special... I've got a few months up my sleeve (or should that be... in my belly! ).
Btw, was disappointed the Choice report didn't test a greater range of 3-wheelers in their test.
