Three Wheeled Buggies
Whether you're looking for a buggy to run around in or a stroller that can be used for neighbourhood walks, three wheeled buggies provide great mobility. Their compact design makes them easy to maneuver even in tight places.
For a smooth ride, opt for a pram fitted with air-filled tyres and look for models with 360deg front swivel wheels. However, they are prone to punctures, so be prepared with a repair kit.
Sturdy frame
The latest figures have been released that show that the three-wheeled vehicle - that noughties symbol of more money than sense is on the verge of disappearing. They have been replaced by four-wheelers that can handle a wider variety of terrain, yet still look swanky and being easy to push.
The larger the wheels are the better your buggy can deal with uneven surfaces and bumpy pavements. Having larger wheels both front and back makes it easier to manoeuvre and more stable when walking downhill or over difficult terrain.
MFM reviewer Kath tried the buggy out with the newborn baby and a toddler and found it to be very robust. It handled cobbles, grass, and rough pavements, as well as dirt tracks and kerbs. Kath said that "it is solid to push and extremely solid when going over difficult terrain. Its tyres (which are inflatable so need occasionally pumping) come with suspension built-in that was very comfortable for my kids.
Another thing to take into consideration is the seat size and shape. You want the seat to be big enough to allow your child to feel comfortable and to allow them to lie down. Certain three-wheel buggies come with the option of lying flat, which lets your child face you, whereas others only permit a parent-facing option.
The Roma Atlas is a great option for off-road and muddy walks. This buggy is suitable for a single child starting from birth and can be adjusted to accommodate two children as your family expands. It is suitable for toddlers and infants from birth until age 4 and comes with a bumper and raincover, a new 5-point harness, and a huge padded seat. The storage options are great too, with a decent-sized basket, zip pockets inside 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 - perfect for buggies designed for off-road use. They also help you maneuver the buggy through tight spaces. Many three wheeled buggies feature the front wheels that swivel to aid you in maneuvering around tight corners, whereas others are designed for running and come with fixed front wheels that lock to improve the speed and stability with which they can be pushed. This is especially useful when you crash into the kerb or a tree. The front wheel will lift slightly to keep it from hitting it.
A majority of 3 wheel pushchair s come with air-filled tyres. This means they are able to handle different terrains and are more flexible than four wheelers. They are also lighter. However, they are prone to punctures so you'll need to have a repair kit, spare 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 grass, gravel roads and market town cobbles" and are able to move up and down kerbs. They also have a suspension system that, in her words "smoothes out bumps extremely effectively".
Buggies with larger wheels can be quite large, and they may be a challenge to fit into tight spaces. This can be an issue especially if you're using it to an exercise bike or to to get through narrow doorways when out and out and about. Many models have compact folding options that let you remove the front wheels and store them in a more compact manner.
Easy to maneuver
A three-wheel buggy can be more comfortable to drive with a child. They are designed so that the front wheels be turned on a dime and are easy to navigate, making them ideal for terrains that are difficult, such as cobblestones, parks and bumpy roads. dirt tracks.
MFM reviewer Kath tried out a three-wheeler with her toddler and newborn and stated: "The Terrain was a pleasure to navigate over the rough terrain with the swivel rear wheel being especially helpful. I was also amazed by how well it handled kerbs with the hand-operated break. I found it to be extremely steady when I was driving downhill or over uneven ground."
The only drawback of this great mobility is that the 3 wheel buggy's bigger wheels sometimes mean it has to struggle in tight spaces, something to consider when you live in a metropolitan region. If this is an issue then a 4-wheel buggy may be better for you.
Bumper bar
Bumper bars are a great method to shield your little one from scrapes and bumps while out and about. These bumper bars are easy to install and will allow your child to feel safe and secure out and out and about.
This bumper bar is designed to match the sleek lines on the sleek lines of your Slim Twin stroller. It comes with a soft, padded surface to provide a comfortable place for your child to hold onto while walking. The sturdy construction and durable design ensure that your child will enjoy strolling around town without worrying about falling out of the buggy or leaning too far ahead.
The sling's fabric is placed inside the frame, not on top like the seat that is modular. This puts the center of gravity for your baby at the ideal height, and also delivers an excellent weight distribution, making it easier to push over curbs (it is much easier to push a stroller up and down than you may think). MFM reviewer Kath found it coped really well with cobbles and grass and it's a good option for jogging due to its lockable swivel front wheel that can be locked and air-filled tyres.
With a stylish and sophisticated design this bumper bar is sure to turn heads wherever you go. Available in a range of finishes and colours that can be customized to match your style. It features a simple, quick-release mechanism that makes it simple to remove and install the bumper bar when needed. The bumper bar is easy to clean as it is constructed of durable materials. This makes it a great choice for families who want a safe and stylish accessory for their stroller.

With perfect geometry and engineering, as well as weight distribution this style of buggy can change direction on a dime and be a breeze to steer using just one hand. All Mountain Buggies meet the same rigorous stability standards and tests as 4-wheel buggies.

Kath who was our MFM reviewer, also adored the spaciousness of this buggy. There's a nimble large, spacious basket that's surprisingly spacious for a buggy that's this big. Additionally, there's a handy pouch on the back unit, as well as two smaller mesh pockets underneath the hood, where you can keep your keys and phone.
