Three Wheeled Buggies

If you're seeking a buggy to run with or just a compact stroller for neighbourhood walks, three wheeled buggies offer great mobility. Their compact design makes them easy to maneuver even in tight spaces.

If you are looking for a smooth ride with your baby, select models with 360deg front wheels with swivel. However, they are more prone to punctures, so make sure you are prepared with an repair kit.

Sturdy frame

New figures show that the three-wheeled buggies, the symbol of the decade that were more expensive than common sense, are in rapid decline. Four-wheelers are replacing them, and are more flexible and simple to drive while still looking fashionable.

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

MFM reviewer Kath tested the buggy with a newborn and a 3 wheel baby stroller year old and found that it was able to withstand cobbles, grass, rough pavements, dirt tracks and kerbs. Kath said that "it feels sturdy to push and extremely solid when you're on rough terrain. Its tyres, which are inflated and require to be pumped up occasionally they have suspension built-in. This was extremely comfortable for my children.

The size and shape of the seat is another thing to think about. You will want it to be big enough for your child's comfort and you will also want it to be able to recline for them to lie flat. Certain three-wheel buggies have a full lie-flat option while others will only allow a parent facing one.

An excellent option for taking on off-road or muddy walks 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 infants and toddlers from age four and includes a bumper bar, raincover, an improved 5-point harness and a spacious padded seat unit. The storage options are great as well, with a large basket, zip pockets inside the hood, and an attractive pouch at the rear of the seat unit.

Wheels with a larger diameter

Larger wheels give your buggy more stability when driving over rough terrain. This is perfect for off-road buggies. They also allow you to move the pushchair around tight spaces. Many three wheeled buggies have swivel front wheels to assist you in maneuvering around corners with ease, whereas others are designed for running and come with fixed front wheels that lock to improve the speed and stability at which they can be pushed. This also helps if you bump into the roots of a tree or stray kerb as the front wheel can be lifted up to keep you from hitting it.

A lot of 3 wheel pushchairs have air filled tyres which means they are able to handle many different terrains and are much more adaptable than 4-wheelers. They are also lighter. However, they're prone to punctures and you'll need a repair kit, spare inner tube and pump handy.

Our top 3 wheel stroller with car seat-wheelers include the Mountain Buggy Core and Venicci Carbo Lux. 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 move up and down kerbs. The buggies also have suspensions that Kath says "smooths out bumps very effectively".

Buggies with larger wheels may be quite wide and can be difficult to fit into narrow spaces. This can be an issue when you're using it for a jogger or you need to be able to get through narrow doorways when out and about. Most models come with compact folding options that let you remove the front wheels and store them more compactly.

Easy to Manoeuvre

One of the major advantages to a three wheel buggy is that it's much easier to maneuver, especially with a child in the back. The way in which they are built means that the front wheels turn at a quick pace and are extremely maneuverable and are ideal for tricky terrain such as parks, cobbles and bumpy pavements as well as dirt tracks.

MFM reviewer Kath tried a 3-wheeler with her toddler. she wrote: "The Terrain is a joy to maneuver in rough terrain. The swivel wheel front was especially useful." I was also amazed by the way it handled kerbs with the hand-operated break. I found it to be extremely stable when driving downhill or over uneven ground."

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

Bumper bar

Bumper bars protect your child from bumps and scrapes 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 on the trail.

This bumper bar is designed to complement the sleek lines of your Slim Twin stroller. It has a soft, cushioned surface that offers a comfortable place for your child to grasp onto during walks. The durable construction and sturdy design ensure that your child can enjoy strolling around town without worrying about falling out of the buggy or leaning too far ahead.

The fabric sling seat sits in the frame, snugly rather than over it as modular seats. It provides the lower centre of gravity at the ideal height for your newborn and also delivering an excellent weight distribution to facilitate kerb pop (it takes much less effort to push a buggy up and over the curb than you think). MFM reviewer Kath found it coped really well with grass and cobbles and is a great option for jogging with its lockable swivel wheel on the front and air-filled tyres.

With a sophisticated and stylish look This bumper bar will surely attract attention wherever you go. It's available in a variety of colours and finishes to match your style. It features a simple, quick-release mechanism that makes it simple to remove and install the bumper bar whenever needed. The bumper bar is also easy to clean since it is constructed from sturdy materials. This makes it a great option for families looking for an elegant and safe accessory for their stroller.

Kath who was our MFM reviewer, also adored the spaciousness of this buggy. There's a easily accessible large basket that's surprising spacious for a vehicle that's this big. Plus, there's also a handy pouch on the back unit, and two smaller mesh pockets beneath the hood, where you can keep your phone and keys.
