Whether you're looking for a buggy jog with or just a nifty stroller to tackle neighbourhood walks, three wheeled buggies provide great mobility. Their compact design allows them to be maneuvered easily, even in tight spaces.

If you are looking for an easy ride in your pram, choose models with 360deg front wheels with swivel. However, they are more prone to punctures, so make sure you are prepared with an repair kit.

Sturdy frame

Recent figures have been released that show that the three-wheeled buggy which was a symbol of the decade of more money than sanity is on the verge of disappearing. Four-wheelers have replaced them, and are more versatile and easier to drive while still looking stylish.

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

MFM reviewer Kath tried the buggy out with a newborn baby as well as a child who was 3 years old and found it to be very durable. It handled cobbles, grass and rough pavements, aswell as dirt tracks and kerbs. She said "it is sturdy to push and is very stable when going over difficult terrain. The tyres, which are inflatable and require to be pumped regularly they have suspension built-in. It was extremely comfortable for my kids.

Another thing to think about is the size and shape. You'll want it to be big enough for your child's comfort. You will also need it to recline for them to lie flat. Certain three-wheel buggies come with a lie-flat option that allows your child to lie flat and face you, whereas others only allow a parent-facing one.

A great choice for tackling off-road and muddy trails is the Roma Atlas. This buggy is suitable for a single child from birth and can be modified to accommodate two children as your family expands. It is suitable for infants and toddlers up to age four and includes a bumper bar, raincover, a better 5-point harness and large cushioned 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.

Wheels with a larger diameter

Larger wheels means that your buggy will be more stable on rough terrain - ideal for buggies that are off-road. They also allow you to maneuver the pushchair through narrow spaces. A lot of three-wheeled buggies come with rotating front wheels that aid you in maneuvering around tight corners, whereas others are designed for running and have fixed front wheels that lock to increase the speed and stability at the speed at which they can be pushed. This also helps in the event that you hit a tree root or stray kerb as the front wheel will rise up to keep you from hitting it.

A lot of 3 wheeled pushchairs come with 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. However, they are prone to punctures, so you'll need to keep a repair kit, spare tube, and pump on hand.

Mountain Buggy Core, Venicci Carbo and Venicci Carbo Lux are among our favorite 3-wheelers. Both of these buggies have 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 have a suspension that, according to Kath "smooths out bumps very effectively".

The drawback of having larger wheels is that they make buggies quite large and make it difficult to get through narrow spaces. This can be an issue especially if you're using it to a jogger or to maneuver through narrow doorways when out and about. Many models have compact folding options that allow you to remove the front wheels and store them more compactly.

Easy to Manoeuvre



One of the major advantages of a three-wheel buggy is that it's much easier to maneuver especially with a child in tow. They are designed to ensure that the front wheels rotate at a moment's notice, and are easy to maneuver, making them perfect for terrains that are difficult, such as parks, cobblestones, bumpy roads, and dirt tracks.

MFM reviewer Kath tested a 3 wheeler with her toddler and newborn and stated: "The Terrain was a pleasure to navigate over the rough terrain, with the swivel front wheel particularly useful. I was also impressed with how well it dealt with kerbs using the hand-operated break. It was very stable in the downhills or on uneven terrain."

The only drawback of this incredible maneuverability is that the 3 wheel buggy's larger wheels sometimes mean that it will be difficult to maneuver in tight spaces - something to consider if you live in a urban region. If this is a concern, a 4-wheel buggy might be a better option for you.

Bumper bar

Bumper bars are a great method to protect your child from bumps and scrapes when out and out and about. They are simple and quick to put up and help your child feel safe and secure whilst out on the town or taking on tough terrain.

This bumper bar is designed to match the sleek lines of the sleek lines of your Slim Twin stroller. It comes with a soft, padded surface that provides an ideal place for your child to grasp onto while walking. The durable construction and sturdy design ensures that your child will enjoy strolling around town without fearing of falling out of the buggy or leaning too far ahead.

The sling is stowed inside the frame and not on top of the seat that is modular. This puts the centre of gravity for your infant at the right height and also offers excellent weight distribution to make it easier to pop over curbs (it is much easier to push the stroller up and over than you think). MFM reviewer Kath said it was great on grass and cobbles. It's also a great option for running thanks to its air-filled tyres and the lockable swivel wheel.

This bumper bar is sure to make heads turn wherever it's utilized. It has a sophisticated and elegant look. It's available in a variety of finishes and colors to suit your personal style. The bumper bar can be installed and removed using the quick-release mechanism. The bumper bar is also easy to clean as it is constructed from sturdy materials. This makes it a great option for families seeking an elegant and safe stroller accessory.

Comfort

A 3-wheel buggie offers the most maneuverability and performance when you go off-road. With perfect design, engineering and weight distribution this kind of buggy is able to be able to turn at a moment's notice and be easy to steer using just one hand. Mountain Buggies meet the same rigorous stability standards and tests as 4-wheel buggies.

Designed with fabric sling seat that is tucked away inside the frame rather than sitting on top like modular seats, the Sport's clever design enables it to have a lower center of gravity, which is at the ideal level for your child - delivering you an easier push, a lighter curb pop (you don't require the same amount of weight or effort to push the buggy's nose up and over the curb) and a better balance and stability. With the massive rear wheels measuring 16 inches and lockable swivel front wheels and air filled tyres that only require occasional pumping for a bump free ride over rough terrain, and a smoother more comfortable jog too.

As the only pushchair that is all-terrain in our collection that comes with a seat for parents that can also be used as a carrycot or car seat to ensure the future of your family and enjoy every adventure starting at day's end and for years to come in the footprint of a single buggy!

Kath who was our MFM reviewer, also adored the spaciousness of this buggy. There's an easily accessible large, spacious basket that's quite spacious for a buggy that's this big. Additionally, there's an excellent pouch on the back unit, as well as two smaller mesh pockets underneath the hood where you can keep your keys and phone.
