Am thinking of getting a 3 wheeler for ds3 but i don't drive and don't remember seeing many people on buse with them. Do you think they are to big to take on kneeling buses. I don't actually need a new pushchair but have something of an obbsession with them (3 kids 12 pushchairs so far)

No wonder you have not seen them on buses, they are HUGE, I have some friends that have one and eventhough my car has a very big boot it doesn't fit in it. I would recomend it if you do a lot of countryside walking or maybe for jogging but for the bus... probably a McLaren or a CitySport or something that you can open and close with one hand while you carry your baby in the other would be more easy to handle. If you are looking for something very resilient try the McLaren TechnoX or Techno Stroller is a bit on the expensive side but very light and resistant.

i had a small urban detour three wheeler and i use the bus service regular.

this was smaller than the average 3 wheeler and what a night mare it was the wheel stuck out 6 miles and if antoher pushchair tried to get on you'd have no chance

i have a maclaren techno and it is brill got it from kiddicare for £99.99 and it came in 2days and it is brill.
