Thinking about getting a new 3-wheeler.

I have got a Cosatto one, but it's got small wheels so really hard to push in these snowy conditions.

I have got it down to 2.

or this one

http://www.britax.co.uk/pushchairs/vigour-3-plus

I can get them for about the same price - under £200.

Does anyone have either of these or know somebody who has. Thoughts as to which one would be the better one to get please.

i don't know about the links but i am on my 2nd have an urban tourer and love them
first i bought off ebay for £23.50 and this one was a mum's and she doesn't use it anymore so has given it to me
they have big wheels so push through the snow and are wide enough for the 3 yr old to sit in comfortably

I had an Urban Detour single and it was so comfortable to push. I used it with various ages (7 mth, 2 yr old and 4 yr old) and got the same ease of use and turning it round etc.

The seat was comfortable for all the different ages. It was easy to fold too.

I use an urban detour single and double, and all the childminder's I know at our local school use them too - they are great and been relatively easy during these snowy/icy days with the front wheel fixed. Good luck in making your decision.

i have an urban detour double, and maxi cosi speedi single 3 wheeler (maxi cosi is also branded as quinny) never a problem with them, if maxi cosi did a double i'd have it! they both have big wheels all round, which i think is a huge help to pushing.

this is the link to a speedi, but you can get them cheaper than that!

I have an urban detour twin pram great for pushing even with one hand so can keep hold of my own rather active ds who is nearly 4yrs!

Only thing I don't like is the width so cannot fit into many shops, especially the corner shop if need to collect milk or bread whilst going to the school:(

Other than that brilliant pram and I bought mine off ebay for £55 complete with rain cover and cosy toes.

I think the first one might still be hard as its got the double front wheels. Is the second one large enough for bigger children?

I found the Urban Detour too wide so have a Phil & Teds and Jane Powertwin and love them both.

I have a Jane powertrack (single 3 wheeler). Really light but not been out in the snow with it as school and groups have all been cancelled!

It has a wide seat and nearly 3yr old mindee looks well comfy :thumbsup:

Got it from ebay for under £100

Vigour seats aren't very large, past 18 months they'd be very squashed. A friends tipped over with her baby in it after they went up a kerb too. They are nice to look at and to push but not at all sturdy.

Not had a Mura so can't comment.
