Three Wheeled Buggies

Three-wheeled buggies are ideal for walking around the neighborhood or running. Their compact design makes them easy to manoeuvre even in tight spaces.

For a smooth ride, go for a pram that has air-filled tyres. Look for models with a 360deg front swivel wheel. However, they are susceptible to punctures, so make sure you are prepared with a repair kit.

Frame made of sturdy material

Recent figures have been released that show that the three-wheeled buggie - that noughties symbol of more money than sense - is in steep decline. Four-wheelers have replaced them, and are more versatile and easy to drive and look elegant.

The bigger the wheels are the more your buggy will be able to deal with uneven surfaces and bumpy pavements. The larger wheels, both front and rear allow you to maneuver and more stable while walking downhill or over difficult terrain.

MFM reviewer Kath tried the buggy out with an infant as well as a child who was 3 years old and found it very durable. It was able to handle cobbles, grass, and rough pavements, as well as dirt tracks and kerbs. Kath said it felt sturdy to push, and very solid on difficult terrain. The tyres, that are inflated and require to be pumped regularly, have built-in suspension. This was very comfortable for my children.

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

The Roma Atlas is a great alternative for off-road or walking in muddy areas. This buggy is suitable for a single child from birth, and can be adapted to accommodate two children as your family grows. It is suitable for babies and toddlers from age four and includes a bumper bar, raincover, an improved 5-point harness and a spacious padded seat unit. Storage options are also great with a large basket with zip pockets on the hood, and a handy pouch on the rear of the seat unit.

Wheels with larger diameter

Larger wheels will give your buggy more stability when driving over rough terrain. This is especially beneficial for buggies that are off-road. They also allow you to maneuver the pushchair in tight spaces. Certain three-wheeled buggies have rotating wheels at the front to aid in maneuvering around tight corners. Others are designed for running and have fixed wheels that lock for greater speed and stability. This also helps if you bump into an unintentional tree root or kerb as the front wheel will lift up a bit to prevent you from hitting it.

Many 3 wheeled pushchair wheeled pushchairs have air-filled tyres, which allows them to navigate a wide range of terrains. They are also more flexible than 4 wheelers. They're also lighter. They are more prone to punctures, so you will require repair kits and an spare inner tube on hand.

Our top 3 wheel travel stroller-wheelers include the Mountain Buggy Core and Venicci Carbo Lux. Both buggies feature larger wheels that, according to MFM reviewer Kath, "perform really well on grass, gravel tracks and market town cobbles" and are able to effortlessly move up and down kerbs. The buggies also come with suspensions that according to Kath "smooths out bumps with great efficiency".

Buggies with larger wheels can be quite wide, and may struggle to fit into narrow spaces. This is an issue when you're using it for a jogger or you need to maneuver through narrow doorways when out and about. The majority of models come with small folding options that permit you to take off the front wheels and store them more compactly.

Easy to Manoeuvre

A three-wheeler can be more maneuverable for children. The way in which they are built means that the front wheels turn at a whim and are extremely easy to manoeuvre which makes them perfect for tricky terrain such as parks, cobbles and bumpy pavements as well as dirt tracks.

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

The only drawback to this great maneuverability, is that the larger wheels of a 3 wheel buggy can sometimes make it difficult to fit into tight spaces. This is something you need to keep in mind when your home is a city. If this is an issue then a 4-wheeler might be a better option for you.

Bumper bar

Bumper bars protect your child from scrapes and bumps when they are out and out and about. They are quick and easy to put up and help your child feel secure and safe when out in the city or tackling tough terrain.

This bumper bar is designed to match the sleek lines on the sleek lines of your Slim Twin stroller. It features a soft, padded surface to provide a comfortable surface for your child to grasp onto during walks. The robust 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 seat made of fabric sits snug inside the frame instead of over it as modular seats do, providing the lowest centre of gravity at the ideal height for your infant and also providing excellent weight distribution for easy kerb pop (it takes less effort to push a buggy up and over the curb than you think). MFM reviewer Kath said it's excellent on cobbles and grass. It's also a good option for running thanks to its air-filled tyres and the lockable swivel wheel.

With a chic and sophisticated look this bumper bar is sure to draw attention wherever you go. Available in a variety of finishes and colours, it can be customized to suit your personal style. The bumper bar can be easily installed and removed with the quick-release mechanism. The bumper bar is also easy to clean, as it is made of durable materials. This makes it a great choice for families looking for a stylish and secure stroller accessory.

Comfort

A 3 wheel pushchair off road-wheel buggy is the ideal off-road vehicle for handling and performance. This type of buggy is simple to steer and turns on a dime with its perfect geometry, engineering, and weight distribution.

Designed with fabric sling seat placed snugly within the frame, not sitting on top 3 wheel strollers like modular seats, the Sport's clever design allows it to have a lower center of gravity that is the perfect height for your child - giving you a more comfortable push, a lighter curb pop (you don't need any effort or weight to lift the nose of your buggy up and over a curb) and a better stability and balance. With the massive rear wheels measuring 16 inches with lockable swivel wheels on the front and air filled tyres that require just a few pumps to give you smooth, bump-free rides over rough terrain and a smoother, more comfortable jog as well.

The only stroller that is all-terrain in our collection with a parent-facing seat that can also accommodate an infant car seat or carrycot, you are able to make sure your family is prepared for every adventure from the very first day and for many years to be!

But 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 easily accessible large, spacious basket that's surprisingly spacious for a buggy of this size. There's also a handy pouch on the back unit, and two smaller mesh pockets under the hood to keep your keys and phone.
