Three Wheeled Buggies

Three-wheeled buggies are great for walking around the neighborhood or jogging. Their compact design makes them easy to maneuver, even in tight spots.

If you want a smooth ride with your baby, select models with 360deg front wheels that can swivel. They are, however, susceptible to punctures. Make sure you have an repair kit.

Sturdy frame

New figures show that three-wheeled buggies, that symbol of the decade that were more expensive than common sense, are in steep decline. They are being replaced by four-wheelers that are able to be more versatile in terrain, while also looking elegant and easy to push.

The general rule is that the bigger the wheels are, the easier it will be for your buggy to deal with bumpy and rough pavements. The larger wheels on both the front and back makes it much easier to manoeuvre and more stable when walking downhill or over difficult terrain.

MFM reviewer Kath tried the buggy out with a newborn baby as well as a child who was 3 wheel bassinet stroller years old and found it to be extremely sturdy. It was able to handle grass, cobbles and rough pavements, aswell as dirt tracks and kerbs. She noted that it was solid to push and very stable on difficult terrain. Its tyres (which are inflatable and require occasionally pumping) offer built-in suspension which was extremely comfortable for my children.

The shape and size of the seat is a further factor to think about. It should be large enough to accommodate your child's comfort. You will also require it to recline for them to lie flat. Some three-wheel buggies have the option of lying flat that allows the child to face you, whereas others only allow a face-to-parent one.

An excellent option for taking on off-road and muddy walks is the Roma Atlas. This buggy can be used as a single unit from the beginning and can be modified to take two children when your family expands. It is suitable for toddlers and infants from birth to age 4 and comes with a bumper and raincover, a new 5-point harness, and a large cushioned seat. The storage options are great as well, with a large basket, zip pockets inside the hood and an easy-to-access pouch on the back of the seat unit.

Wheels with a larger diameter

Larger wheels mean that your buggy will be more stable on rough terrain - perfect for buggies designed for off-road use. They also help you maneuver the buggy through tight spaces. Some three-wheeled buggies feature rotating wheels on the front, which assist you in navigating tight corners. Others are designed for running and have fixed wheels that lock to provide increased speed and stability. This also helps in the event that you hit the roots of a tree or stray kerb as the front wheel can be lifted up slightly to prevent you from hitting it.

Many 3 wheel pushchairs feature air filled tyres which means they are able to handle different terrains and are much more adaptable than 4-wheelers. They're also lighter. They are also more susceptible to punctures, so you will require repair kits and an spare inner tubes on hand.

Mountain Buggy Core, Venicci Carbo and the Venicci Carbo lux are among our top 3-wheelers. These buggies, as per MFM's Kath, have larger wheels that, she says "perform well on gravel roads, grass and market town cobbles" and are able to go up or down kerbs. They also have a suspension system that, in her words "smoothes out bumps with great efficiency".

The downside of having larger wheels is that they can make some buggies quite broad and may struggle to squeeze through narrow spaces. This is an issue especially if you're using it to a jogger or to maneuver through doorways that are narrow when you're out and about. Fortunately, the majority of models come with compact folding options that allow you to take off the front wheels to make compact storage.

Easy to Manoeuvre

A three-wheeler can be more comfortable to drive with children. The way in which they are built means that the front wheels rotate at a whim and are really easy to manoeuvre, making them ideal for tricky terrain such as parks, cobbles and bumpy pavements as well as dirt tracks.

MFM reviewer Kath tried a 3 wheel baby stroller-wheeler with her toddler and newborn and said: "The Terrain was a pleasure to navigate over the rough ground with the swivel rear facing 3 wheel stroller wheel being especially helpful. I was also impressed with how well it coped with kerbs, especially when using the hand-operated brake. I found it to be extremely stable when going downhill or over uneven terrain."

The only drawback of this great maneuverability is that the three wheel buggy's bigger wheels sometimes mean that it will be difficult to maneuver in tight spaces - something to consider if you live in a urban region. If this is the case then a 4-wheeled buggy could be the better option for you.

Bumper bar

Bumper bars will protect your child from bumps and scrapes when they are out and out and about. They are easy to install, and will allow your child to feel secure and safe out and about.

This bumper bar was designed to match the sleek lines on your Slim Twin stroller. It features a soft, padded surface that offers a comfortable surface for your child to hold onto while walking. The sturdy construction and sturdy design will ensure that your child is capable of enjoying a stroll around town without having to worry about falling or leaning forward.

The sling's fabric is placed inside the frame, not on top like the seat that is modular. This puts the center of gravity for your infant at the perfect height and also offers excellent weight distribution to make it easier to climb over curbs (it is much easier to push a stroller up and over than you may think). MFM reviewer Kath said it's excellent on cobbles and grass. It's also a great alternative for running, thanks to its air-filled tyres and the lockable swivel wheel.

With a sophisticated and stylish appearance this bumper bar will surely attract attention wherever you go. Available in a variety of colours and finishes that can be customized to match your style. The bumper bar is easily removed and installed with a quick-release mechanism. Furthermore the bumper bar is easy to clean and is made of durable materials that are easy to clean. This makes it an excellent choice for families who want an elegant and safe accessory for their stroller.

Comfort

A 3 wheel stroller lightweight-wheel buggy is a great off-road vehicle for maneuverability and performance. With perfect geometry, engineering and weight distribution this type of buggy can be able to turn at a moment's notice and be a breeze to steer with just one hand. All Mountain Buggies pass the same rigorous stability standards and tests as buggies with 4 wheels.

The seat is made of fabric placed snugly within the frame, not on top of it like modular seats, the Sport's clever design allows it to have a lower center of gravity, which is at the ideal height for your child, giving you a more comfortable push, a less hefty curb pop (you don't require as much weight or effort to lift the buggy's nose up and over a curb) and a better balance and stability. With the 16" rear wheels, the lockable front wheel, and air-filled tyres, you can enjoy a more smooth, comfortable jog.

As the only all-terrain pushchair in our collection with a seat for parents that can also accommodate a car seat or carrycot to ensure the future of your family and enjoy every moment of your day and for years to come - all within the footprint of a single buggy!

And that's not the only reason to love this buggy Our MFM reviewer Kath was amazed by how big it is as well. There's a large, easily accessible basket that's huge for a buggy this small and there's an easy-to-use pouch that zips up on the back of the seat unit, and even 2 smaller mesh pockets inside the hood to keep your phone and keys.
