Three Wheeled Buggies

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

If you want a smooth ride with your baby, select models with 360deg front wheels that can swivel. They are, however, susceptible, to punctures. Be prepared with an repair kit.

Sturdy frame

New data show that three-wheeled buggies, that symbol of the decade that had more money than common sense, are in steep decline. Four-wheelers have replaced them, which are more versatile and easier to drive while still looking elegant.

The basic idea is that the bigger the wheels are, the easier it'll be for your buggy to deal with bumpy ground and rough pavements. The larger wheels both rear and front, make it easier to move and more stable when walking downhill or on difficult terrain.

MFM reviewer Kath tried this buggy on an infant and a 3-year-old child and found it extremely durable. It was able to withstand grass, cobbles and rough pavements as well as dirt tracks and kerbs. She said "it is solid to push and very solid when going over difficult terrain. Its tyres, which are inflatable and need to be pumped up regularly, have built-in suspension. It was extremely comfortable for my children.

The shape and size of the seat is a further factor to consider. It is important for the seat to be big enough for your child to feel comfortable and to allow them to lie down. Certain three-wheel buggies come with the option of lying flat, which allows the child to face you, whereas 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 starting from birth and can be modified to accommodate two children as your family grows. It is suitable for toddlers and infants from birth until age 4, and includes a bumper, raincover, an improved 5-point harness, and a huge padded seat. Storage options are also great, with a large basket and zip pockets on the hood, and an extra pouch on the rear of the seat unit.

Wheels with a greater diameter

Larger wheels mean that your buggy will have more stability on rough terrain - ideal for off-road buggies. In addition, they make it easier to manoeuvre the pushchair through narrow spaces. Many three wheeled buggies have the front wheels that swivel to assist you in maneuvering around tight corners, whereas others are designed for running and have fixed front wheels that lock to improve the speed and stability at which they can be pushed. This is particularly useful when you crash into a tree or a kerb. The front wheel will be lifted slightly to keep it from hitting it.

A lot of 3 wheel pushchairs have air filled tyres which means they can be used on different terrains and are much more adaptable than 4-wheelers. They're also lighter. However, they are prone to punctures, so you'll need to keep an repair kit, spare tube and pump handy.

Our top three-wheelers include the Mountain Buggy Core and Venicci Carbo Lux. Both buggies feature larger wheels that, as per MFM reviewer Kath, "perform really well on grass, gravel tracks and market town cobbles" and are able to easily move up and down kerbs. They also have a suspension system that according to her "smoothes out bumps very effectively".

Buggies with larger wheels can be quite wide and may struggle to fit into narrow spaces. This could be a problem if you use it for jogging, or need to fit through narrow doorways while on the move. Fortunately, many models come with compact folding options that let you remove the front wheels to create more compact storage.

Easy to Manoeuvre

A three-wheeler can be more maneuverable for children. The way they are built ensures that the front wheels turn at a quick pace and are extremely maneuverable, making them ideal for difficult terrain such as parks, cobbles or bumpy pavements, as well as dirt tracks.

MFM reviewer Kath tried an all-wheeler with her toddler. she said: "The Terrain is a pleasure to drive on uneven terrain. The swivel wheel front was especially useful." I was also amazed by the way it handled kerbs when using the hand-operated break. I found it extremely steady when I was driving downhill or on uneven ground."

The only drawback to this great maneuverability, is that the larger wheels of a 3 wheel buggy can sometimes make it difficult to squeeze into tight spaces. This is something you need to keep in mind when you live in an urban area. If this is a concern then a 4-wheel buggy may be a better choice for you.

Bumper bar

Bumper bars are a great method to shield your child from bumps and scrapes when out and out and about. They are simple and quick to put in and will make your child feel secure and safe when out in the city or on the trail.

It is designed to complement the sleek lines of your Slim Twin stroller, this bumper bar has an upholstered and soft surface that offers a comfortable spot for your child to hold onto while walking. The robust construction and durable design will ensure that your child is able to enjoy strolling around the town without having to worry about falling or leaning towards the side.

The sling seat is snug inside the frame instead of on top of it like modular seats. It provides the lowest center of gravity at the appropriate height for your baby and also providing an excellent weight distribution to facilitate kerb pop (it takes much less effort to push the buggy up and over the curb than you think). MFM reviewer Kath found it to be able to deal well with grass and cobbles and is a great option for jogging with its lockable swivel front wheel that can be locked and air filled tyres.

All Mountain Buggies are tested to the same rigorous stability standards and tests as 4-wheel buggies.
