Three Wheeled Buggies

Whether you're seeking a buggy to run around in or a nifty stroller to tackle neighbourhood walks, three wheeled buggies offer great mobility. Their compact design makes them easy to maneuver, even in tight places.

For a smooth ride, go for a pram that has air-filled tyres. Look for models with 360deg front swivel wheels. They are prone, however to punctures. Make sure you have an emergency repair kit.

Sturdy frame

New data 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 range of terrain, while still looking swanky and being easy to push.

The bigger the wheels are, the better your buggy can deal with uneven surfaces and bumpy pavements. The larger wheels both rear and front, make it easier to maneuver and more stable when walking downhill or over difficult terrain.

MFM reviewer Kath tested this buggy with the newborn baby as well as a child who was 3 wheel jogger years old and found it to be very durable. It handled grass, cobbles and rough pavements as well as dirt tracks and kerbs. She said that it felt sturdy to push, and extremely solid on rough terrain. The tyres, that are inflatable and need to be pumped up regularly and have a suspension built-in. This was extremely comfortable for my children.

Another thing to take into consideration is the size and shape. It should be large enough for your child's comfort and you will also need it to recline so that they can lie flat. Certain three-wheel buggies come with a lie-flat option that lets your child face you, while other buggies only permit a parent-facing option.

The Roma Atlas is a great alternative for off-road or walking in muddy areas. This buggy is ideal for a single child starting from birth and can be modified to accommodate two children as your family grows. It is suitable for toddlers and infants from birth until age 4 and comes with a bumper, raincover, an improved 5-point harness, and a huge padded seat. Storage options are also a plus, with a large basket, zip pockets on the hood and a handy pouch at the rear of seat unit.

Larger wheels

Larger wheels mean that your buggy will be more stable on uneven terrain, which is ideal for buggies that are off-road. They also allow you to move the pushchair around tight spaces. Many three wheeled buggies have swivel front wheels to help you navigate around tight corners, while 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 can also help if you bump into an unintentional tree root or kerb as the front wheel can be lifted up slightly to prevent you from hitting it.

Many 3 wheel pushchairs feature air filled tyres which means they can handle many different terrains and are more adaptable than 4-wheelers. They also tend to be lighter. They are more prone to punctures, so you'll require repair kits and an spare inner tube on hand.

Mountain Buggy Core, Venicci Carbo and Venicci Carbo Lux are some of our favourite 3 wheel jogger stroller-wheelers. These buggies, according to MFM's Kath, have larger wheels which she claims "perform well on grass, gravel roads and market town cobbles", and can easily climb or descend kerbs. They also have a suspension system that according to her "smoothes out bumps extremely effectively".

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 plan to use it as a jogger or you need to get through doorways that are narrow while traveling. Fortunately, many models come with small folding options that allow you to remove the front wheels to make compact storage.

Easy to manoeuvre

One of the major advantages of a three-wheel buggy is that it can be much easier to maneuver particularly with a child in the back. The way they are built ensures that the front wheels rotate at a whim and are incredibly easy to maneuver, making them ideal for difficult terrain like cobbles, parks, bumpy pavements and dirt tracks.

MFM reviewer Kath tried a 3-wheeler with her toddler, and she reported: "The Terrain is a pleasure to drive in rough terrain. The swivel wheel front was particularly helpful." I was also impressed by the way it handled kerbs, especially when using the hand-operated brake. I found it extremely stable when going downhill or over uneven ground."

The only downside to this amazing maneuverability is that the larger wheels of a best 3 wheel travel system wheel buggy might make it difficult to squeeze into tight spaces. This is something you should be aware of when you live in an urban area. If this is the case then a 4-wheeled buggy could be a better option for you.

Bumper bar

Bumper bars are the perfect method to shield your child from scrapes and bumps when out and out and about. These bumper bars are simple to install, and will help your child feel safe and secure out and about.

The bumper bar is designed to match the sleek lines on your Slim Twin stroller. It comes with a soft, padded surface that offers a comfortable place for your child to hold onto during walks. The durable construction and sturdy design will ensure that your child can enjoy a stroll without worrying about falling out of the buggy or leaning too far ahead.

The fabric sling seat sits comfortably inside the frame rather than sitting on top like modular seats. It provides the lowest centre of gravity at the appropriate height for your baby and also delivering excellent weight distribution for easy kerb pop (it takes 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 grass and cobbles and it's a good option for jogging thanks to its lockable swivel front wheel and air-filled tyres.

This bumper bar will make heads turn wherever it's utilized. It has a sophisticated and stylish design. Available in a variety of finishes and colours and designs, it can be tailored to fit your style. It comes with a simple quick-release mechanism that makes it easy to install and remove the bumper bar as necessary. Additionally, the bumper bar is easy to clean and is constructed from sturdy materials that are easy to clean. This makes it an excellent option for families looking for an attractive and secure accessory for their stroller.

Comfort

A 3 wheel pushchair travel system-wheel buggy provides the most agility and performance when driving off road. This type of buggy is easy to steer and turn on a dime with its perfect geometry, engineering, and weight distribution.

Designed with fabric sling seat that is tucked away inside the frame instead of over it like modular seats, the Sport's smart design enables it to have a lower centre of gravity at the right height for your child, providing you with a smoother push, a less hefty curb pop (you do not require any effort or weight to push the hood of your buggy up and over a curb) and a better stability and balance. With the 16" rear wheels, lockable front wheel, and tyres that are air-filled, you can enjoy a more smooth, comfortable jog.

Kath who was our MFM reviewer, also adored the space of this buggy. There's a big, easily accessible basket that's huge for a buggy of this size, plus there's a handy zipped pouch on the back of the seat unit, and even 2 smaller mesh pockets in the hood to keep your keys and phone.
