Three Wheeled Buggies

Whether you're seeking a buggy to run with or just a nifty stroller to tackle the neighborhood, three-wheeled buggies provide great mobility. Their compact design makes them easy to maneuver, even in tight spots.

If you're looking for a smooth ride on your baby, opt for models with 360deg front wheels that swivel. They are, however, susceptible, to punctures. Make sure you have a repair set.

Frame made of sturdy material

New data show that three-wheeled buggies, the symbol of the decade that had more money than common sense, are in steep decline. They've been replaced with four-wheelers that can be more versatile in terrain, yet still look elegant and easy to push.

The larger the wheels are the better your buggy will cope with bumpy and uneven pavements. The larger wheels on both the front and back also makes it much easier to manoeuvre and more stable when walking downhill or on rough terrain.

MFM reviewer Kath tested this buggy with the newborn baby as well as a child who was 3 years old and found it extremely robust. It handled grass, cobbles and rough pavements, as well as dirt tracks and kerbs. Kath said that "it is sturdy to push and is very stable when you're on rough terrain. Its tyres (which are inflatable and require periodic pumping) have suspension built-in that was very comfortable for my kids.

The size and shape of the seat is a further factor to consider. You'll want it to be big 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 the option of lying flat, which lets your child face you, while other buggies only allow a parent-facing one.

A great choice for tackling off-road and muddy walks is the Roma Atlas. This buggy is suitable for a single child starting from birth and can be adjusted to accommodate two children as your family grows. It is suitable for babies and toddlers from age 4 and comes with a bumper bar, raincover, improved 5-point harness and large cushioned seat. The storage options are excellent as well, with a large basket, zip pockets in the hood, and a handy pouch on the rear of the seat unit.

Wheels with a larger diameter

Larger wheels give your buggy more stability while driving on rough terrain. This is perfect for buggies designed for off-road use. They also make it easier to move the pushchair around tight spaces. Many three wheeled buggies have the front wheels that swivel to help you navigate around corners with ease, whereas others are specifically designed for running and have fixed front wheels that lock to increase the speed and stability at which they can be driven. This is also helpful if you bump into the roots of a tree or stray kerb as the front wheel will rise up slightly to prevent you from hitting it.

Many 3 wheel jogger stroller wheeled pushchairs have air-filled tyres, which allows them to navigate a wide range of terrains. They are also more flexible than 4 wheelers. They are also lighter. However, they're prone to punctures, so you'll need an repair kit, spare tube and pump in your bag.

Mountain Buggy Core, Venicci Carbo and the Venicci Carbo lux are among our top 3-wheelers. Both buggies feature larger wheels that, as per MFM reviewer Kath, "perform really well on gravel tracks, grass and market town cobbles" and are able to easily move up and down kerbs. They also come with a suspension system that, in her words "smoothes out bumps extremely effectively".

The downside of having larger wheels is that they make some buggies quite broad and can struggle to fit through narrow spaces. This is a problem if you're using it as a jogger or you need to maneuver through doors that are narrow when out and about. Fortunately, many models come with small folding options that let you remove the front wheels to make compact storage.

Easy to manoeuvre

A three-wheel buggy can be easier to maneuver with a child. They are designed so that the front wheels be turned on a dime and are easy to move, making them ideal for challenging terrain such as parks, cobblestones, bumpy roads, and dirt tracks.

MFM reviewer Kath tried a 3 wheel strollers-wheeler with her toddler. she reported: "The Terrain is a joy to maneuver on uneven terrain. The swivel wheel in the front was particularly useful." I was also impressed by how well it coped with the kerbs, particularly when using the brake operated by hand. I found it to be extremely stable when driving downhill or on uneven ground."

The only drawback to this great maneuverability, is that the larger wheels of a 3 wheel stroller with bassinet wheel buggy can sometimes make it difficult to squeeze into tight spaces. This is something you should be aware of when your home is an urban area. If this is an issue, a 4-wheeled buggy may be the better option for you.

Bumper bar

Bumper bars can shield your child from scrapes and bumps when they are out and about. They are quick and easy to put up and help your child feel safe and secure while out on the town or taking on tough terrain.

This bumper bar is designed to match 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 during walks. The sturdy construction and durable design ensures that your child will enjoy strolling around town without having to worry about falling out of the buggy or leaning too far ahead.

The sling is stowed inside the frame it is not positioned on top like the modular seat. This creates a lower center of gravity for your infant at the perfect height and also provides an excellent weight distribution, making it easier to pop 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 grass and cobbles and it's a good option for jogging due to its lockable swivel front wheel and air-filled tyres.

With a chic and sophisticated appearance, this bumper bar is sure to turn heads wherever you go. It's available in a variety of colours and finishes to fit your personal style. It comes with 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, as it is made of strong materials. This makes it an excellent option for families that want an attractive and secure accessory for their stroller.

Comfort

A 3 wheel buggies-wheel buggy is a great off-road vehicle to maneuver and performance. With perfect geometry and engineering, as well as weight distribution this type of buggy can change direction on a dime and be easy to steer with one hand. Mountain Buggies are tested to the same rigorous stability standards and tests as buggies with 4 wheels.

Designed with fabric sling seat that is tucked away inside the frame, not over it like modular seats, the Sport's clever design enables it to have a lower centre of gravity, which is at the ideal height for your child - delivering you an easier push, a less hefty curb pop (you don't require any effort or weight to push the hood of your buggy up and over a curb) and better balance and stability. With the 16" rear wheels, lockable front wheel, and tyres that are air-filled which allow for a more smooth, comfortable jogging.

As the only pushchair in our collection that comes with a seat for parents that can also accommodate a carrycot or car seat, you can future proof your family and enjoy every adventure starting at day's end and into the future and all within the footprint of a single buggy!

Kath, our MFM reviewer, also appreciated the space of this buggy. There's a nimble, large basket that is quite spacious for a buggy that's this big. Additionally, there's a handy pouch on the back of the unit, and 2 smaller mesh pockets underneath the hood to keep your phone and keys.
