Three Wheeled Buggies

If you're looking for a buggy run around in or a compact stroller for neighbourhood walks, three wheeled buggies offer great mobility. Their compact design makes them easy to manoeuvre, even in tight spaces.

For a smooth ride, opt for a pram with air-filled tyres. Also, look for models with 360deg front swivel wheels. However, they are prone to punctures, so be prepared with a repair kit.

Frame made of sturdy material

New figures show that three-wheeled buggies, the emblem of the noughties, which were more expensive than common sense, are in a steep decline. Four-wheelers have replaced them, and are more versatile and easy to drive, while also looking stylish.

The bigger the wheels are the better your buggy can deal with bumpy surfaces and uneven pavements. Having larger wheels both front and back makes it easier to maneuver and more stable when walking downhill or over difficult terrain.

MFM reviewer Kath tried this buggy on a newborn Midnight Black Baby Jogger Summit X3 Stroller - click here!, as well as a child who was 3 years old and found it to be extremely durable. It was able to withstand grass, cobbles and rough pavements as well as dirt tracks and kerbs. Kath said that "it is sturdy to push and is very stable when going over difficult terrain. Its tyres (which are inflatable and require occasionally pumping) have suspension built-in which was extremely comfortable for my Mobiclinic® Kids Agnes Buggy: All-Terrain Sporty Stroller.

Another thing to take into consideration is the size of the seat and shape. You'll want it to be big enough for your child's comfort. You will also want it to be able to recline for them to lie flat. Some three-wheel buggies offer the option of lying flat that allows your child to lie flat and face you, whereas others only allow a parent-facing one.

A great choice for tackling off-road and muddy trails is the Roma Atlas. The buggy can be used as a one-person unit from birth and then adapts to take two children when your family grows. It is suitable for infants and toddlers from birth to age 4. It comes with a bumper and raincover, a new 5-point harness, and a big cushioned seat. Storage options are also a plus with a large basket with zip pockets on the hood and an attractive pouch on the rear of the seat unit.

Larger wheels

Larger wheels mean that your buggy will have more stability on uneven terrain, which is ideal for buggies designed for off-road use. In addition, they make it easier to manoeuvre the pushchair in tight spaces. Certain three-wheeled buggies have wheels that swivel on the front to help you navigate tight corners. Others are designed to run and have fixed wheels that lock for increased speed and stability. This is particularly useful when you hit the kerb or a tree. The front wheel will lift slightly to prevent hitting it.

Many 3 wheel pushchairs feature air-filled tyres, which means they can handle many different terrains and are much more flexible than four wheelers. They are also lighter. However, they're susceptible to punctures and you'll need an repair kit, spare inner tube and pump in your bag.

Our top three-wheelers include the Mountain Buggy Core and Venicci Carbo Lux. Both of these buggies have larger wheels that, according to MFM reviewer Kath, "perform really well on gravel tracks, grass and market town cobbles" and are able to effortlessly go up and down kerbs. They also have a suspension system which, in her words "smoothes out bumps very effectively".

Buggies with bigger wheels can be quite large, and may struggle to fit into tight spaces. This is an issue if you plan to use it for jogging, or need to fit through doorways that are narrow when on the move. Many models have compact folding options that permit you to take off the front wheels and store them more compactly.

Easy to manoeuvre

One of the major advantages of a three-wheel buggy is that it can be much more maneuverable, especially with a child in tow. They are designed so that the front wheels rotate at a moment's notice, and are easy to maneuver, making them perfect for terrains that are difficult, such as parks, cobblestones as well as bumpy roads and dirt tracks.

MFM reviewer Kath tested a 3 wheeler with her infant and toddler and stated: "The Terrain was a pleasure to maneuver over tough terrain with the swivel rear wheel particularly useful. I was also impressed by the way it handled kerbs, especially when using the hand-operated brake. I found it to be extremely stable when going downhill or on uneven ground."

The only downside to this great maneuverability, is that the larger wheels of a 3 wheel buggy might make it difficult to squeeze into tight spaces. This is something you should be aware of if your home area is an urban area. If this is an issue, a 4-wheeled buggy may be the better option for you.

Bumper bar

Bumper bars are a great way to protect your little one from scrapes and bumps when out and out and about. They are easy and quick to install and make your child feel safe and secure when out in the city or on the trail.

The bumper bar is designed to match the sleek lines on your Slim Twin stroller. It has a soft, cushioned surface to provide a comfortable place for your child to grasp onto while walking. The durable construction and sturdy design ensure that your child will take a stroll around town without fearing of falling out of the buggy or leaning too far forward.

The sling seat is in the frame, snugly as opposed to on top of it like modular seats, delivering the lower centre of gravity at the appropriate height for your newborn and also delivering an excellent weight distribution to facilitate kerb pop (it requires less effort to push the buggy over and up the curb than you think). MFM reviewer Kath said it was excellent on cobbles and grass. It's also a good option for running thanks to its air-filled tyres as well as a locking swivel wheels.

This bumper bar is sure to make heads turn wherever it's used. It has a sophisticated and elegant look. It's available in a variety of finishes and colors to suit your personal style. It comes with a simple quick-release mechanism that makes it simple to install and remove the bumper bar as necessary. The bumper bar is also easy to clean as it is constructed of sturdy materials. This makes it a good choice for families looking for a stylish and secure stroller accessory.

Comfort

A 3-wheel buggy is a great off-road vehicle to maneuver and performance. This style of buggy is easy to steer and turn in a flash thanks to its perfect geometry, engineering, and weight distribution.

The sport's clever design puts the fabric sling seat within the frame, not on top like modular seats. This lets it have lower center of gravity and makes it easier to push, has a less weighty curb-pop (you don't have to exert much effort to push the buggy's front end over the curb) and also provides greater stability and balance. With its massive 16'' rear wheels, lockable swivel front wheel and tyres with air that require only occasional pumping to give you an unhurried ride on rough terrain and a smoother, more comfortable jog too.

The only all-terrain stroller in our collection with an adult-facing seat that can also accommodate the car seat or carrycot, you are able to ensure your family's future is secure and enjoy every adventure beginning from the first day and for years to be!

And that's not the only reason you should love this buggy - our MFM reviewer Kath was amazed by how big it is, too. There's a easily accessible large, spacious basket that's quite spacious for a buggy that's this big. Plus, there's also a handy pouch on the back seat unit, as well as two smaller mesh pockets underneath the hood to keep your keys and phone.
