Three Wheeled Buggies

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

For an easy ride, opt for a pram that has air-filled tyres and look for models with a 360deg front swivel wheel. However, they are prone to punctures so be prepared with an repair kit.

Sturdy frame

Recent figures have been released that show that the three-wheeled vehicle which was a symbol of the decade of more money than sense is in a decline. Four-wheelers have replaced them, and are more flexible and simple to drive, while also looking fashionable.

The general idea is that the bigger the wheels, the easier it will be for your buggy to cope with rough ground and bumpy pavements. The larger wheels both rear and front, make it easier to move and more stable when walking downhill or in difficult terrain.

MFM reviewer Kath tried this buggy on an infant and a 3-year-old child and found it very robust. It was able to handle grass, cobbles and rough pavements as well as dirt tracks and kerbs. Kath wrote "it is sturdy to push and extremely solid when traversing difficult terrain. The tyres, that are inflatable and require to be pumped up occasionally and have a suspension built-in. This was extremely comfortable for my kids.

The size and shape of the seat is a further factor to consider. You will 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 offer a lie-flat option that lets your child face you, while others only allow a face-to-parent one.

The Roma Atlas is a great option for off-road or muddy walks. This buggy is suitable for a single child from birth and can be adjusted to accommodate two children as your family grows. It is suitable for toddlers and infants from birth to age 4, and includes a bumper and raincover, a new 5-point harness, and a large padded seat. The storage options are great as well, with a decent-sized basket, zip pockets on the hood and an attractive pouch at the back of the seat unit.

Wheels with a greater diameter

Larger wheels give your buggy more stability when driving over rough terrain. This is ideal for buggies designed for off-road use. They also help you move the pushchair around tight spaces. A lot of three-wheeled buggies come with the front wheels that swivel to help you navigate around tight corners, whereas others are designed for running and come with fixed front wheels that lock to increase the speed and stability with the speed at which they can be pushed. This can also help in the event that you hit a tree root or stray kerb as the front wheel will rise up slightly to prevent you from hitting it.

Many 3 wheeled pushchairs have air-filled tyres which allow them to navigate a wide range of terrains. They are also more flexible than 4 wheelers. They also tend to be lighter. They are prone to punctures, and you'll require a repair kit and spare inner tube on hand.

Some of our favourite 3 Wheeled pushchair-wheelers include the Mountain Buggy Core and Venicci Carbo Lux. According to MFM's Kath, have larger wheels which she claims "perform well on gravel roads, grass and market town cobbles" and are able to move up and down kerbs. They also come with a suspension system that in her words "smoothes out bumps with great efficiency".

Buggies with larger wheels may be quite wide, and may struggle to fit in tight spaces. This is a problem especially if you're using it to an exercise bike or to maneuver through narrow doorways when out and out and about. The majority of models come with compact folding options that permit you to take off the front wheels and store them in a more compact manner.

Easy to manoeuvre

One of the primary benefits to a three-wheeled buggy is that it can be much more maneuverable particularly with a child on the way. They are designed to ensure that the front wheels can rotate at a moment's notice, and are easy to move, making them ideal for difficult terrain like parks, cobblestones as well as bumpy roads and dirt tracks.

MFM reviewer Kath tested a 3 wheeler with her infant and toddler and stated: "The Terrain was a pleasure to navigate over the rough terrain with the swivel rear wheel being particularly helpful. I was also amazed by the way it dealt with kerbs using the hand-operated break. I found it extremely steady when I was driving downhill or on uneven ground."

The only downside to this incredible maneuverability is that the larger wheels of the 3 wheel buggy can sometimes make it difficult to squeeze into tight spaces. This is something to keep in mind when your home is one of the cities. If this is the case then a 4-wheeled buggy could be the better choice for you.

Bumper bar

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

The bumper bar is designed to complement the sleek lines on the sleek lines of your Slim Twin stroller. It features a soft, padded surface to provide a comfortable place for your child to grab onto during walks. The sturdy construction and durable design ensure that your child will take a stroll around town without having to worry about falling out of the buggy or leaning too far in the direction of.

The sling is stowed inside the frame and not on top of the modular seat. This creates a lower centre of gravity for your newborn at the right 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 down than you think). MFM reviewer Kath found it coped really well with cobbles and grass and is a great option for jogging due to its lockable swivel wheel on the front and air filled tyres.

With a sophisticated and stylish appearance, this bumper bar is sure to draw attention wherever you go. It's available in a range of colours and finishes to match your style. It features a simple, quick-release mechanism that makes it easy to remove and install the bumper bar when needed. Additionally the bar is easy to clean, and is made of sturdy 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 wheeled buggy-wheel buggie offers the best in maneuverability and performance when you go off-road. With the perfect geometry and engineering, as well as weight distribution this kind of buggy is able to be able to turn at a moment's notice and be a breeze to steer using just one hand. All Mountain Buggies meet the same rigorous global stability standards and tests as buggies with four wheels.

With a fabric sling seat that is tucked away inside the frame instead of over it like modular seats, the Sport's clever design enables it to have a lower center of gravity at the right height for your child - delivering you an easier push, a less hefty curb pop (you don't require the same amount of weight or effort to push the nose of your buggy up and over a curb) and better balance and stability. And with the huge rear facing 3 wheel stroller wheels measuring 16 inches and lockable swivel front wheels and air filled tyres that only require occasional pumping to give you a bump free ride over rough terrain and a smoother, more comfortable jog too.

As the only double pushchair 3 wheeler in our collection with a seat for parents that can also take a carrycot or car seat, you can future proof your family and take pleasure in every moment of your day and into the future - all within the footprint of a single buggy!

Kath the MFM reviewer, also appreciated the space of this buggy. There's a large easily accessible basket that's surprisingly roomy for a buggy of this size as well as an easy-to-use pouch that zips up at the back of the seat and even 2 smaller mesh pockets inside the hood to store your phone and keys.
