Three Wheeled BuggiesIf you're looking for a buggy to run around in or a compact stroller for the neighborhood, three-wheeled buggies offer great mobility. Their compact design makes them easy to manoeuvre, even in tight spaces.
If you want a smooth ride on your baby, select models with 360deg front wheels with swivel. However, they are susceptible to punctures, so be prepared with an repair kit.
Sturdy frame
New data show that three-wheeled buggies that were the symbol of the decade that had more money than common sense, are in rapid decline. They have been replaced by four-wheelers which can handle a wider range of terrain, yet still look stylish and easy to push.
The rule 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 front and rear allow you to maneuver and more stable while walking downhill or on difficult terrain.
MFM reviewer Kath tested the buggy with a newborn and a
3 wheeled buggies year old and found it coped well with cobbles, grass rough roads, dirt tracks, and kerbs. She noted that it was sturdy to push, and very stable on difficult terrain. Its tyres, which are inflatable and require to be pumped regularly and have a suspension built-in. This was very comfortable for my kids.
Another thing to think about is the size of the seat and shape. You will want it to be large enough for your child's comfort and you will also need it to recline to allow them to lie flat. Certain
three wheel pushchairs-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.
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 the beginning and can be modified to accommodate two children as your family expands. It is suitable for babies and toddlers until age four and includes a bumper bar, raincover, improved 5-point harness, and a large cushioned seat unit. The storage options are excellent as well, with a large basket, zip pockets in the hood and an attractive pouch at the back of the seat unit.
Larger wheels
Larger wheels mean your buggy will have more stability on uneven terrain, which is ideal for buggies designed for off-road use. They also help you maneuver the pushchair through narrow spaces. Many
three wheeled buggies have rotating front wheels that help you navigate around tight corners, while others are designed for running and have fixed front wheels that lock to increase the speed and stability at the speed at which they can be pushed. This is also helpful when you crash into the roots of a tree or stray kerb as the front wheel will rise up a bit to prevent you from hitting it.
A majority of 3 wheel pushchairs come with air-filled tyres. This means they are able to handle different terrains and are far more adaptable than 4-wheelers. They're also lighter. However, they're susceptible to punctures and you'll need an repair kit, spare tube and pump handy.
Our top three-wheelers include the Mountain Buggy Core and Venicci Carbo Lux. Both of these buggies come with larger wheels that, according to MFM reviewer Kath, "perform really well on grass, gravel tracks and market town cobbles" and are able to effortlessly climb and descend kerbs. They also have suspensions that Kath says "smooths out bumps with great efficiency".
The downside of having bigger wheels is that they make some buggies quite broad and make it difficult to get through narrow spaces. This is an issue if you're using it as a jogger or to be able to get through narrow doorways when out and out and about. Most models come with compact folding options, which let you remove the front wheels and store them in a more compact manner.
Easy to maneuver
A three-wheeled buggy is easier to maneuver with a child. They are designed to ensure that the front wheels be turned on a dime and are easy to move, making them ideal for difficult terrain like cobblestones, parks, bumpy roads, and dirt tracks.
MFM reviewer Kath tried a 3-wheeler with her toddler, and she wrote: "The Terrain is a delight to navigate in rough terrain. The swivel wheel in the front was especially useful." I was also awed by the way it handled kerbs with the hand-operated break. It was extremely stable when in the downhills or on a rough terrain."
The only drawback to this amazing mobility is that the 3 wheel buggy's larger wheels sometimes mean that it can struggle in tight spaces - something to keep in mind when you live in a city area. If this is a problem then a 4-wheeled buggy could be the better option for you.
Bumper bar
Bumper bars are a great way to protect your little one from scrapes and bumps when out and about. These bumper bars are easy to install, and will allow your child to feel secure and safe while out and about.

The sling is stowed inside the frame and not on top of the seat that is modular. This creates a lower center of gravity for your newborn at the perfect height and also delivers excellent weight distribution to make it easier to climb over curbs (it is much easier to push a stroller up and over than you may think). MFM reviewer Kath discovered that it was able to cope well with cobbles and grass and it's a good option for jogging with its lockable swivel front wheel and air filled tyres.
This bumper bar will turn heads wherever it is utilized. It has a sophisticated and elegant design. Available in a range of colours and finishes and designs, it can be tailored to match your style.
