Three Wheeled Buggies

If you're looking for a buggy to jog with or just a compact stroller for strolls around the neighborhood, three-wheeled buggies provide great mobility. Their compact design makes them easy to manoeuvre even in tight spaces.

If you're looking for a smooth ride with your baby, opt for models with 360deg front wheels that can swivel. However, they are more prone to punctures so be prepared with a repair kit.

Sturdy frame

New data show that three-wheeled buggies, that symbol of the decade that were more expensive than common sense, are in a steep decline. Four-wheelers have replaced them, which are more versatile and easier to drive while still looking stylish.

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

MFM reviewer Kath tried this buggy out with a newborn as well as a 3 wheeler strollers year old and found it was able to handle cobbles, grass rough pavements, dirt tracks and kerbs. Kath said it felt solid to push, and extremely solid on rough terrain. The tyres, that are inflatable and require to be pumped up occasionally, have built-in suspension. It was extremely comfortable for my kids.

The shape and size of the seat is another thing to think about. The seat should be large enough for your child to be comfortable and to allow them to lie down. Some three-wheel buggies offer a lie-flat option that lets your child face you, while others only allow a face-to-parent one.

A great option for those who want to tackle off-road and muddy trails is the Roma Atlas. This buggy can be used as a single 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 and includes a bumper with a rain cover, an upgraded 5-point harness, and a big padded seat. Storage options are also great with a large storage basket and zip pockets on the hood, and an extra pouch on the rear of the seat unit.

Wheels with a greater diameter

Larger wheels means that your buggy will have more stability on rough terrain - perfect for off-road buggies. They also allow you to maneuver the pushchair through narrow spaces. Many three wheeled buggies (click to find out more) have rotating front wheels that aid you in maneuvering around corners with ease, whereas others are specifically designed for running and have fixed front wheels that lock to increase the speed and stability at which they can be pushed. This is also useful if you bump against the kerb or a tree. The front wheel will be lifted slightly to avoid hitting it.

A majority of 3 wheeled buggies wheel pushchairs come with air-filled tyres, which means they can handle different terrains and are more flexible than 4-wheeler. They are also lighter. However, they're susceptible to punctures, so you'll need an repair kit, spare inner tube and pump handy.

Mountain Buggy Core, Venicci Carbo and Venicci Carbo Lux are among our favorite 3 wheeled strollers-wheelers. These buggies, as per MFM's Kath, have larger wheels, which, she says "perform well on gravel roads, grass and market town cobbles" and are able to climb or descend kerbs. They also have a suspension that according to Kath "smooths out bumps with great efficiency".

The downside of having bigger wheels is that they can make buggies quite large and may struggle to squeeze through narrow spaces. This could be an issue if you plan to use it as a jogger, or need to fit through doorways that are narrow when traveling. Fortunately, the majority of models come with small folding options that allow you to remove the front wheels to make compact storage.

Easy to Manoeuvre

A three-wheel buggy can be more comfortable to drive with a child. The way they are built ensures that the front wheels rotate at a quick pace and are extremely easy to maneuver, making them ideal for difficult terrains like cobbles, parks or bumpy pavements, as well as dirt tracks.

MFM reviewer Kath tested a best 3 wheel stroller wheeler with her toddler and newborn and stated: "The Terrain was a pleasure to maneuver over tough terrain with the swivel rear wheel being particularly helpful. I was also impressed with the way it handled kerbs with the hand-operated break. I found it to be extremely stable when going downhill or on uneven ground."

The only drawback of this incredible maneuverability is that the three wheel buggy's bigger wheels sometimes mean it has to struggle in tight spaces, something to consider if you live in a city area. If this is an issue then a 4-wheeler might be better for you.

Bumper bar

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

The bumper bar is designed to match the sleek lines on your Slim Twin stroller. It has a soft, cushioned surface that offers a comfortable surface for your child to grab onto during walks. The sturdy construction and sturdy design will ensure that your child will be comfortable strolling around the town without worrying about falling or leaning forward.

The sling's fabric is placed within the frame, not on top like the modular seat. This provides a lower center of gravity for your newborn at the right height and also provides great weight distribution, making it easier to pop over curbs (it is much easier to push the stroller up and over than you think). MFM reviewer Kath said it's excellent on cobbles and grass. It's also a good option for running with its tyres that are filled with air and a locking swivel wheels.

With a sophisticated and stylish appearance this bumper bar is sure to turn heads wherever you go. It's available in a range of finishes and colors to match your style. The bumper bar can be easily removed and put in place with the quick-release mechanism. The bumper bar is easy to clean as it is constructed of strong materials. This makes it a great option for families looking for an attractive and secure accessory for their stroller.

Comfort

A 3-wheel buggy provides the highest level of agility and performance when driving off road. With the perfect geometry and weight distribution, this kind of buggy is able to be able to turn at a moment's notice and be easy to steer with one hand. Mountain Buggies pass the same rigorous stability standards and tests as buggies with 4 wheels.

The sport's clever design puts the fabric sling seat within the frame, instead of on top like modular seats. This allows it to have a lower center of gravity and makes it more comfortable to push, has a less weighty curb-pop (you won't need to exert much effort to push the buggy's nose over the curb) and also provides more stability and balance. With the massive rear wheels that measure 16 inches with lockable swivel wheels on the front and air filled tyres that require just a few pumps, you get an unhurried ride on rough terrain and a smoother and more comfortable jog.

As the only pushchair in our collection to come with a parent facing seat that can also take the form of a car seat or carrycot to ensure the future of your family and enjoy every moment of your day and for years to come in the footprint of one buggy!

And that's not the only reason you should love this buggy - our MFM reviewer Kath loved how spacious it is, too. There's an easily accessible, large basket that is surprisingly spacious for a buggy that's this big. Plus, there's also an excellent pouch on the back unit, and two smaller mesh pockets beneath the hood to keep your keys and phone.
