Three Wheeled Buggies
Whether you're looking for a buggy run around in or a stroller that can be used for the neighborhood, three-wheeled buggies are great for mobility. Their compact design makes them easy to maneuver even in tight areas.
If you want an easy ride in your baby, select models with 360deg front wheels with swivel. They are, however, susceptible, to punctures. Be prepared with an emergency repair kit.
Sturdy frame
New figures show that three-wheeled buggies, that symbol of the noughties that had more money than common sense, are in a steep decline. Four-wheelers are replacing them, and are more flexible and simple to drive while still looking fashionable.
The bigger the wheels are, the better your buggy can deal with uneven surfaces and bumpy pavements. The larger wheels both rear and front, make it easier to move and more stable when walking downhill or over difficult terrain.
3 wheeler pushchair tested this buggy with an infant and a toddler and found it extremely robust. It was able to withstand cobbles, grass, and rough pavements, as well as dirt tracks and kerbs. Kath said that "it is sturdy to push and extremely solid when traversing difficult terrain. Its tyres (which are inflatable, so require occasional pumping) come with suspension built-in which was extremely comfortable for my kids.
Another thing to consider is the size and shape. You'll want it to be large enough to accommodate your child's comfort and you will also want it to be able to recline to allow them to lie flat. Certain three-wheel buggies have an option to lie flat completely while others allow the parent to be facing one.
An excellent option for taking on off-road and muddy trails is the Roma Atlas. This buggy can be used as a one-person unit from birth, and then expands to take two children when your family expands. It is suitable for babies and toddlers from age 4 and comes with a bumper bar, raincover, improved 5-point harness and large padded seat unit. The storage options are excellent too, with a decent-sized basket, zip pockets in the hood, and an attractive pouch at the back of the seat unit.
Wheels with a larger diameter
Larger wheels mean your buggy will be more stable on rough terrain - ideal for buggies designed for off-road use. They also allow you to move the pushchair around tight spaces. Some three-wheeled buggies feature rotating wheels on the front to aid in maneuvering around tight corners. Others are designed for running and have fixed wheels that lock for increased speed and stability. This can also help if you bump into a tree root or stray kerb as the front wheel can be lifted up a bit to prevent you from hitting it.
A lot of 3 wheeled pushchairs come with air-filled tyres, which allows them to navigate a wide range of terrains. They are also more flexible than 4 wheelers. They are also lighter. However, they're susceptible to punctures, so you'll need to have a repair kit, spare inner tube and pump in your bag.
Mountain Buggy Core, Venicci Carbo and Venicci Carbo Lux are among our top 3-wheelers. These buggies, as per MFM's Kath, have larger wheels which she claims "perform well on gravel roads, grass and market town cobbles" and are able to climb or descend kerbs. They also have a suspension system which according to her "smoothes out bumps with great efficiency".
Buggies with larger wheels can be quite wide, and can be difficult to fit into narrow spaces. This is an issue if you plan to use it for jogging or you need to get through doorways that are narrow while traveling. Fortunately, many models come with small folding options that allow you to take off the front wheels to create more compact storage.
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 on the way. The way in which they are built ensures that the front wheels rotate at a whim and are extremely maneuverable and are ideal for difficult terrains like cobbles, parks and bumpy pavements as well as dirt tracks.
MFM reviewer Kath tried a 3-wheeler with her toddler. she reported: "The Terrain is a delight to navigate in rough terrain. The swivel wheel in the front was especially useful." I was also amazed by the way it handled kerbs with the hand-operated break. It was very stable in the downhills or on uneven terrain."
The only drawback to this great maneuverability is that the 3 wheel buggy's larger wheels do sometimes mean it has to struggle in tight spaces, something to consider if you live in a urban area. If this is an issue, a 4-wheeled buggy may be the better option for you.
Bumper bar
Bumper bars are the ideal method to shield your child from scrapes and bumps when out and out and about. They are quick and easy to install and make your child feel safe and secure while out on the town or tackling tough terrain.
This bumper bar is designed to complement the sleek lines of your Slim Twin stroller. It comes with a soft, padded surface that offers a comfortable surface for your child to grasp onto while walking. The durable construction and sturdy design ensures that your child will enjoy a stroll without fearing of falling out of the buggy or leaning too far ahead.
The sling is stowed inside the frame it is not positioned on top like the modular seat. This creates a lower center of gravity for your infant at the perfect height and also offers an excellent weight distribution, making it easier to push over curbs (it is much easier to push a stroller up and over than you may 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.
With a sophisticated and stylish design this bumper bar will surely attract attention wherever you go. Available in a range of colours and finishes and designs, it can be tailored to suit your personal style. The bumper bar can be removed and installed with a quick-release mechanism. The bumper bar is easy to clean since it is constructed from sturdy materials. This makes it a great choice for families looking for an elegant and safe stroller accessory.
Comfort
A 3-wheel buggy offers the best in agility and performance when driving off road. With perfect design and engineering, as well as weight distribution this style of buggy can be able to turn at a moment's notice and be easy to steer with one hand. All Mountain Buggies pass the same rigorous global stability standards and tests as 4-wheel buggies.
With a fabric sling seat that is tucked away inside the frame, not on top of it like modular seats, the Sport's smart design permits it to have a lower centre of gravity at the right height for your child - delivering you an easier push, a less hefty curb pop (you don't need as much weight or effort to push the nose of your buggy up and over the curb) and better balance and stability. And with the huge rear wheels measuring 16 inches, lockable swivel front wheel and air filled tyres that require just a few pumps, you get a bump free ride over rough terrain and a smoother and more comfortable jog too.

It's not the only reason to love this buggy Our MFM reviewer Kath was amazed by how big it is, too. There's a large easy-to-access basket that's huge for a buggy of this size as well as an excellent zip-up pouch on the back of the seat and two smaller mesh pockets under the hood for your keys and phone.
