Three Wheeled Buggies
Three-wheeled buggies are great for walking around the neighborhood or for jogging. Their compact design makes them easy to maneuver even in tight spots.
If you are looking for an easy ride in your pram, choose models with 360deg front wheels with swivel. However, 3 wheel pushchair are more prone to punctures, so make sure you are prepared with a repair kit.
Sturdy frame
New figures show that three-wheeled buggies, the emblem of the noughties, which were more expensive than common sense, are in steep decline. They have been replaced by four-wheelers that can handle a wider range of terrain, while still looking elegant and easy to push.
The general idea is that the bigger the wheels are, the easier it'll be for your buggy to cope with bumpy ground and rough pavements. With larger wheels front and back makes it easier to manoeuvre and more stable when walking downhill or on rough terrain.
MFM reviewer Kath tried the buggy with a newborn and a 3 year old and found that it was able to withstand grass, cobbles rough roads, dirt tracks and kerbs. She said that it felt solid to push, and extremely solid on rough terrain. Its tyres (which are inflatable, so require occasional pumping) have suspension built-in that 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 to accommodate your child's comfort. You will also want it to be able to recline for them to lie flat. Certain three-wheel buggies come with a lie-flat option that 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 and muddy walks. This buggy is ideal for a single child from birth and can be adjusted to accommodate two children as your family grows. It is suitable for infants and toddlers until age four and comes with a bumper bar, raincover, improved 5-point harness and large padded seat unit. Storage options are also a plus with a large storage basket with zip pockets on the hood and a handy pouch at the rear of seat unit.
Larger wheels
Larger wheels will give your buggy greater stability when driving on rough terrain. This is perfect for buggies that are off-road. They also help you maneuver the pushchair in tight spaces. Many three wheeled buggies have rotating front wheels that aid you in maneuvering around tight corners, whereas others are specifically designed for running and have fixed front wheels that lock to improve the speed and stability with the speed at which they can be pushed. This is particularly useful when you hit a tree or a kerb. The front wheel can be lifted slightly to avoid hitting it.
A lot of 3 wheeled pushchairs come with air-filled tyres that allow 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 to have an repair kit, spare inner tube and pump handy.
Mountain Buggy Core, Venicci Carbo and the Venicci Carbo lux are some of our favourite 3-wheelers. 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 easily climb and descend kerbs. The buggies also come with suspension that Kath says "smooths out bumps extremely effectively".
Buggies with larger wheels can be quite wide, and may struggle to fit into tight spaces. This could be a problem if you use it as a jogger or have to squeeze through doorways that are narrow when traveling. Fortunately, many models come with compact folding options that let you remove the front wheels to make compact storage.
Easy to Manoeuvre
A three-wheeler can be more comfortable to drive with a child. The way they are built ensures that the front wheels spin at a whim and are incredibly maneuverable and are ideal for difficult terrain such as parks, cobbles, bumpy pavements and dirt tracks.
MFM reviewer Kath tried out a three-wheeler with her newborn and toddler and stated: "The Terrain was a pleasure to maneuver over tough ground, with the swivel front wheel being particularly helpful. I was also impressed with the way it handled kerbs when using the hand-operated break. I found it to be extremely stable when going downhill or over uneven terrain."
The only downside of this great mobility is that the 3 wheel buggy 's larger wheels sometimes mean that it can struggle in tight spaces, something to be aware of especially if you live in a city region. If this is a concern then a 4-wheel buggy may be a better choice for you.
Bumper bar
Bumper bars are the ideal method to shield your child from bumps and scrapes when out and about. They are quick and easy to put in and will make your child feel secure and safe whilst out on the town or on the trail.
This bumper bar is designed to complement the sleek lines of the sleek lines of your Slim Twin stroller. It comes with a soft, padded surface to provide a comfortable surface for your child to hold onto while walking. The sturdy construction and durable design ensures that your child can enjoy strolling around town without worrying about falling out of the buggy or leaning too far forward.
The fabric sling seat sits snug inside the frame rather than over it as modular seats. It provides the lowest centre of gravity at the ideal height for your newborn and also delivering excellent weight distribution for easy kerb pop (it requires less effort to push a buggy up and over a curb than you 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 that can be locked and air filled tyres.
This bumper bar will turn heads wherever it is used. It has a classy and elegant look. Available in a variety of colours and finishes, it can be customized to match your style. It features a simple, quick-release mechanism that makes it simple to install and remove the bumper bar as necessary. The bumper bar is easy to clean, as it is constructed from sturdy materials. This makes it a good choice for families looking for a stylish and safe stroller accessory.
Comfort
A 3-wheel buggy is a great off-road vehicle for handling and performance. This kind of buggy is simple to steer and turn at a moment's notice due to its perfect geometry engineering, weight, and distribution.
The Sport's clever design places the fabric sling seat inside the frame, instead of on top like modular seats. This lets it have lower center of gravity, which means it is more comfortable to push, has a lighter curb-pop (you will not need to exert as much effort to lift the buggy's hood over a curb) and provides more stability and balance. With 16" rear wheels, lockable front wheel, and air-filled tyres that allow you to enjoy a smoother, more comfortable jog.
The only all-terrain stroller in our collection with a parent-facing seat that can also accept a car seat or carrycot, you can future-proof your family to enjoy every adventure - beginning from the first day, and for years to come!
Kath, our MFM reviewer, also appreciated the spaciousness of this buggy. There's a huge easily accessible basket that's surprisingly roomy for a buggy this small as well as a handy zipped pouch at the rear of the seat and even two smaller mesh pockets inside the hood for your phone and keys.
