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 spaces.
If you want a smooth ride on your pram, choose models with 360deg front wheels that can swivel. However, they are more prone to punctures, so be prepared with an repair kit.
Frame made of sturdy material
New figures show that three-wheeled buggies that were the emblem of the noughties, which had more money than common sense, are in rapid decline. They are being replaced by four-wheelers that are able to handle a wider variety of terrain, while still looking elegant and easy to push.
The larger the wheels are the more your buggy will be able to deal with bumpy surfaces and uneven pavements. The larger wheels both rear and front, make it easier to move and more stable when walking downhill or in difficult terrain.
MFM reviewer Kath tested the buggy with a newborn and 3 year old and found that it was able to withstand grass, cobbles rough roads, dirt tracks and kerbs. Kath said that "it is sturdy to push and extremely solid when going over difficult terrain. The tyres, which are inflated and require to be pumped regularly they have suspension built-in. It was extremely comfortable for my children.
Another thing to take into consideration is the size of the seat and shape. It should be large enough for your child's comfort. three wheel pushchair will also require it to recline to allow them to lie flat. Some three-wheel buggies will have the option of reclining completely, while others allow a parent facing one.
The Roma Atlas is a great option for off-road and wet walks. This buggy can be used as a single unit from birth, and then expands to take two children when your family grows. It is suitable for infants and toddlers from age four and comes with a bumper bar, raincover, a better 5-point harness and a spacious padded seat unit. The storage options are great as well, with a large basket, zip pockets in the hood, and an easy-to-access pouch on the rear of the seat unit.
Larger wheels
Larger wheels will give your buggy more stability while driving on rough terrain. This is perfect for buggies that are off-road. They also help you maneuver the pushchair in tight spaces. Some three-wheeled buggies feature wheels that swivel at the front to assist you in navigating tight corners. Others are designed for running and have fixed wheels that lock for greater speed and stability. This is particularly useful when you bump against the kerb or a tree. The front wheel can be lifted slightly to avoid hitting it.
A majority of 3 wheeled pushchairs have air-filled tyres that allow them to tackle a broad range of terrains. They are also more flexible than 4 wheelers. They also tend to be lighter. They are prone to punctures, so you will require an repair kit and spare inner tubes on hand.
Some of our favourite 3-wheelers include the Mountain Buggy Core and Venicci Carbo Lux. These buggies, as per MFM's Kath, have larger wheels that she claims "perform well on grass, gravel roads and market town cobbles", and can easily move up and down kerbs. The buggies also come with a suspension that Kath says "smooths out bumps extremely effectively".
Buggies with larger wheels may be quite wide, and may struggle to fit into narrow spaces. This is a problem if you are using it as a jogger, or need to fit through narrow doorways while on the move. The majority of models come with compact folding options, which permit you to take off the front wheels and store them in a more compact manner.
Easy to maneuver
One of the primary benefits of a three-wheel buggy is that it is much easier to maneuver particularly with a child in tow. The way in which they are constructed means that the front wheels spin on a dime and are really easy to maneuver which makes them perfect for difficult terrain like cobbles, parks, bumpy pavements and dirt tracks.
MFM reviewer Kath tried an all-wheeler with her toddler. she said: "The Terrain is a delight to navigate on rough terrain. The front swivel wheel was especially helpful." I was also impressed by how well it coped with the kerbs, particularly when using the hand-operated brake. I found it extremely stable when driving downhill or over uneven terrain."
The only downside of this incredible maneuverability is that the 3 wheel buggy's larger wheels sometimes mean that it can be difficult to maneuver in tight spaces - something to keep in mind if you live in a urban area. If this is an issue, a 4-wheeled buggy may be the better option for you.
Bumper bar
Bumper bars are the perfect method to shield your little one from scrapes and bumps while out and out and about. They are simple and quick to put up and help your child feel safe and secure when out in the city or taking on tough terrain.
Created to match the sleek lines of the sleek lines of your Slim Twin stroller, this bumper bar features a soft and padded surface that offers an ideal place for your child to hold on to when walking. The durable construction and sturdy design will ensure that your child can enjoy a stroll without having to worry about falling out of the buggy or leaning too far ahead.
The fabric sling seat sits comfortably inside the frame as opposed to sitting on top like modular seats. It provides the lowest centre of gravity at the right height for your baby and also providing excellent weight distribution for easy kerb pop (it requires less effort to push the buggy over and up a curb than you might think). MFM reviewer Kath found it to be able to deal well with cobbles and grass and is a great option for jogging due to its lockable swivel front wheel and air-filled tyres.
This bumper bar will attract attention wherever it's used. It has a sophisticated and elegant design. It's available in a variety of finishes and colours to fit your personal style. It comes with a simple quick-release mechanism that makes it easy to install and remove the bumper bar whenever needed.

This makes it a great choice for families who want an attractive and secure accessory for their stroller.
Comfort
A 3-wheel buggy offers the best in agility and performance when driving off road. With perfect design, engineering and weight distribution this type of buggy can turn on a dime and be a breeze to steer using just one hand. All Mountain Buggies meet the same rigorous stability standards and tests as 4-wheel buggies.
The sport's clever design puts the fabric sling seat within the frame, instead of sitting on top as modular seats. This lets it have a lower center of gravity, which means it is more comfortable to push, has a lighter curb-pop (you won't need to put in the same effort to raise the buggy's front end over a curb) and provides more stability and balance. And with the huge rear wheels measuring 16 inches, lockable swivel front wheel and air filled tyres that only require occasional pumping, you get a bump free ride over rough terrain, and a smoother more comfortable jog.

And that's not the only reason you should love this buggy Our MFM reviewer Kath was impressed by how spacious it is too. There's an easily accessible large basket that's surprising spacious for a vehicle that's this big. Plus, there's also an excellent pouch on the back seat unit, and two smaller mesh pockets underneath the hood to keep your phone and keys.
