Three Wheeled Buggies

Three-wheeled buggies are great for walking around the neighborhood or running. Their compact 3 wheel stroller design makes them easy to manoeuvre, even in tight spaces.

For a smooth ride, opt for a pram fitted with air-filled tyres and look for models with a 360deg front swivel wheel. They are, however, susceptible to punctures. Make sure you have an emergency repair kit.

Frame made of sturdy material

Figures have just been released showing that the three-wheeled buggie - that noughties symbol of more money than wisdom - is in steep decline. Four-wheelers have replaced them, and are more flexible and simple to drive while still looking stylish.

The general principle is that the larger the wheels are, the easier it'll be for your buggy to deal with bumpy and rough pavements. The larger wheels both rear and front enable you to maneuver and more stable while walking downhill or over difficult terrain.

MFM reviewer Kath tried the buggy out with a newborn baby as well as a child who was 3 Wheeled pushchair years old and found it to be extremely robust. It handled cobbles, grass and rough pavements, as well as dirt tracks and kerbs. She noted that it was sturdy to push, and very stable on difficult terrain. Its tyres (which are inflatable, so require occasionally pumping) have suspension built-in, which was very comfortable for my children.

Another thing to take into consideration is the size and shape. It should be big enough for your child's comfort and you will also need it to recline so that they can lie flat. Some three-wheel buggies offer the option of lying flat, which lets your child face you, while others only allow a parent-facing one.

A great choice for tackling off-road or muddy walks is the Roma Atlas. It can be used as a one-person unit from birth, and then expands to take two children when your family grows. It is suitable for infants and toddlers from birth until age 4, and comes with a bumper and raincover, a new 5-point harness, and a huge cushioned seat. The storage options are great as well, with a large basket, zip pockets in the hood, and a handy pouch on the back of the seat unit.

Larger wheels

Larger wheels mean that your buggy will be more stable on rough terrain - ideal for buggies that are off-road. They also help you maneuver the double pushchair 3 wheeler through narrow spaces. Certain three-wheeled buggies have wheels that swivel on the front to help you navigate tight corners. Others are designed for running and have fixed wheels that lock for increased speed and stability. This is also useful if you bump against a tree or a kerb. The front wheel will be lifted slightly to avoid hitting it.

Many 3 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 also tend to be lighter. However, they're susceptible to punctures, so you'll need to have a repair kit, spare inner tube, and pump on hand.

Our top best 3 wheel stroller with car seat-wheelers include the Mountain Buggy Core and Venicci Carbo Lux. According to MFM's Kath, have larger wheels which, she says "perform well on grass, gravel roads and market town cobbles", and can easily go up or down kerbs. The buggies also come with a suspension that, according to Kath "smooths out bumps extremely effectively".

Buggies with bigger wheels can be quite wide and may struggle to fit into tight spaces. This can be problematic if you intend to use it as a jogger, or need to fit through doorways that are narrow while out and about. The majority of models come with compact folding options, which allow you to remove the front wheels and store them in a more compact manner.

Easy to Manoeuvre

A three-wheel buggy can be more comfortable to drive with children. The way they are built ensures that the front wheels rotate at a quick pace and are incredibly maneuverable and are ideal for tricky terrain like cobbles, parks, bumpy pavements and dirt tracks.

MFM reviewer Kath tried a 3 wheel pushchair-wheeler with her toddler. she reported: "The Terrain is a joy to maneuver on rough terrain. The swivel wheel in the front was particularly helpful." I was also awed by how well it dealt with kerbs using the hand-operated break. It was very stable going downhill or on uneven terrain."

The only drawback of this great maneuverability is that the three wheel buggy's larger wheels sometimes mean that it can be difficult to maneuver in tight spaces - something to consider when you live in a urban area. If this is a problem then a 4-wheel buggy may be a better choice for you.

Bumper bar

Bumper bars are the ideal method to shield your little one from scrapes and bumps when out and out and about. These bumper bars are easy to install, and will make your child feel secure and safe out and about.

Created to match the sleek lines of your Slim Twin stroller, this bumper bar has a soft and padded surface that provides a comfortable spot for your child to hold on to when walking. The sturdy construction and sturdy design will ensure that your child will be comfortable strolling through the city without worrying about falling or leaning towards the side.

The sling's fabric is placed within the frame it is not positioned on top like the seat that is modular. This creates a lower center of gravity for your infant at the perfect height and also offers an excellent weight distribution, making it easier to pop over curbs (it is much easier to push a stroller up and over than you think). MFM reviewer Kath found it coped really well with grass and cobbles and is a great choice for jogging with its lockable swivel front wheel that can be locked and air filled tyres.

With a chic and sophisticated design this bumper bar is sure to turn heads wherever you go. Available in a range of finishes and colours that 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.

Comfort

A 3-wheel buggy offers the most agility and performance when driving off road. With the perfect design, engineering and weight distribution this type of buggy can be able to turn at a moment's notice and be a breeze to steer with one hand; and all Mountain Buggies meet the same rigorous global stability standards and tests as 4-wheel buggies.

The Sport's clever design places the fabric sling seat within the frame, rather than on top like modular seats. This allows it to have a lower center of gravity which means it's more comfortable to push, has a lighter curb-pop (you will not need to put in the same effort to raise the buggy's front end over the curb) and provides better balance and stability. With 16" rear wheels, lockable front wheel, and air-filled tyres which allow for an easier, more comfortable jogging.

The only stroller that is all-terrain in our range that comes with an adult-facing seat that can also accept the car seat or carrycot, you can make sure your family is prepared for every adventure beginning from the first day, and for years to come!

Kath the MFM reviewer, also loved the space of the buggy. There's a nimble, large basket that is surprisingly spacious for a buggy that's this big. There's also an excellent pouch on the back of the unit, and 2 smaller mesh pockets under the hood where you can keep your phone and keys.
