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 maneuver, even in tight spaces.

For a smooth ride, opt for a pram fitted with air-filled tyres and look for models with a 360deg front swivel wheel. They are prone, however, to punctures. Be prepared with an repair kit.

Frame made of sturdy material

New figures show that the three-wheeled buggies that were the symbol of the noughties that were more expensive than common sense, are in a steep decline. They are being replaced by four-wheelers that are able to handle a wider range of terrain, while still looking swanky and being easy to push.

The bigger the wheels are the better your buggy can deal with bumpy surfaces and uneven pavements. With larger wheels front and back makes it easier to manoeuvre and more stable when walking downhill or on rough terrain.

MFM reviewer Kath tried this buggy on the newborn baby and a 3 wheeled travel system-year-old child and found it to be extremely durable. It was able to withstand cobbles, grass, and rough pavements, as well as dirt tracks and kerbs. Kath said that "it feels sturdy to push and very solid when you're on rough terrain. Its tyres (which are inflatable, so require occasional pumping) offer built-in suspension, which was very comfortable for my children.

Another thing to think about is the size of the seat and shape. You'll want it to be large enough for your child's comfort and you will also require it to recline to allow them to lie flat. Some three-wheel buggies have a lie-flat option that allows the child to face you, whereas others only permit a parent-facing option.

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

Larger wheels

Larger wheels give your buggy more stability when driving on rough terrain. This is especially beneficial for buggies that are off-road. In addition, they make it easier to manoeuvre the pushchair in tight spaces. Many three wheeled buggies (click for more info) have the front wheels that swivel to aid you in maneuvering around tight corners, whereas others are designed for running and have fixed front wheels that lock to improve the speed and stability with the speed at which they can be pushed. This is also helpful in the event that you hit a tree root or stray road, as the front wheel will rise up to keep you from hitting it.

Many 3 wheeled pushchairs have air-filled tyres which allow them to tackle a broad range of terrains. They are also more flexible than 4 wheelers. They're also lighter. However, they are prone to punctures and you'll need an repair kit, spare tube and pump in your bag.

Some of our favourite 3-wheelers include the Mountain Buggy Core and Venicci Carbo Lux. Both of these buggies have larger wheels that, as per MFM reviewer Kath, "perform really well on grass, gravel tracks and market town cobbles" and are able to easily climb and descend kerbs. They also have a suspension system that according to her "smoothes out bumps with great efficiency".

The downside of having larger wheels is that they can make some buggies quite broad and make it difficult to get through narrow spaces. This can be an issue especially if you're using it to a jogger or you need to to get through doors that are narrow when out and about. Fortunately, many models come with compact folding options that allow you to take off the front wheels for more compact storage.

Easy to Manoeuvre

A three-wheeled buggy is more comfortable to drive with a child. They are designed to ensure that the front wheels turn on a dime, and are easy to move, making them ideal for difficult terrain like cobblestones, parks and bumpy roads. dirt tracks.

MFM reviewer Kath tested a 3 wheel pushchair travel system wheeler with her toddler and newborn and wrote: "The Terrain was a pleasure to navigate over the rough ground and the swivel front wheel being especially helpful. I was also impressed by how well it dealt with bumps, particularly when using the brake operated by hand. It was very stable going downhill or on uneven terrain."

The only drawback to this amazing maneuverability is that the larger wheels of a 3 wheel infant stroller-wheel buggy may make it difficult to fit into tight spaces. This is something you should be aware of if your home area is an urban area. If this is a concern then a 4-wheel buggy may be better for you.

Bumper bar

Bumper bars can shield your child from bumps and scrapes when out and out and about. They are easy and quick to install and make your child feel secure and safe while out on the town or tackling tough terrain.

This bumper bar is designed to match the sleek lines on the sleek lines of your Slim Twin stroller. It has a soft, cushioned surface that provides a comfortable place for your child to grasp onto while walking. The robust construction and sturdy design will ensure that your child is able to enjoy strolling around the town without worrying about falling or leaning forward.

The fabric sling sits snugly inside the frame it is not positioned on top like the seat that is modular. This puts the center of gravity for your baby at the perfect height and also provides excellent weight distribution to make it easier to pop over curbs (it is much easier to push a stroller up and over than you may think). MFM reviewer Kath discovered that it was able to cope well with grass and cobbles and it's a good option for jogging with its lockable swivel front wheel that can be locked and air filled tyres.

With a sophisticated and stylish appearance, this bumper bar will surely attract attention wherever you go. Available in a variety of colours and finishes and designs, it can be tailored to match your style. It features a simple, quick-release mechanism that makes it easy to remove and install the bumper bar whenever needed. Moreover the bumper bar is easy to clean and is made from durable materials that are easy to wipe down. This makes it an excellent option for families that want an elegant and safe accessory for their stroller.

Comfort

A 3-wheel buggie offers the best in agility and performance when driving off road. With perfect design, engineering and weight distribution this type of buggy can change direction on a dime and be a breeze to steer with just one hand. Mountain Buggies are tested to the same rigorous global stability standards and tests as 4-wheel buggies.

The seat is made of fabric placed snugly within the frame instead of on top of it like modular seats, the Sport's smart design allows it to have a lower centre of gravity at the right height for your child - giving you a more comfortable push, a less hefty curb pop (you do not require any effort or weight to pop the buggy's nose up and over the curb) and better balance and stability. And with the huge rear wheels measuring 16 inches and lockable swivel front wheels and tyres filled with air that require only occasional pumping to give you an unhurried ride on rough terrain and a smoother and more comfortable jog.

The only all-terrain stroller in our range that comes with a parent-facing seat which can also accept the car seat or carrycot, you can future-proof your family to enjoy every adventure beginning from the first day, and for years to come!

And that's not the only reason to love this buggy - our MFM reviewer Kath loved how spacious it is as well. There's an easily accessible large, spacious basket that's surprisingly spacious for a buggy of this size. Additionally, there's an excellent pouch on the back of the unit, and 2 smaller mesh pockets beneath the hood where you can keep your phone and keys.
