Three Wheeled Buggies
Whether you're looking for a buggy run with or just a nifty stroller to tackle the neighborhood, three-wheeled buggies are great for mobility. Their compact design makes them easy to manoeuvre, even in tight spaces.
If you want a smooth ride on your pram, choose models with 360deg front wheels that swivel. However, they are more prone to punctures, so be prepared with a repair kit.
Frame made of sturdy material
New figures show that the three-wheeled buggies, that emblem of the noughties, which were more expensive than common sense, are in a steep decline. They are being replaced by four-wheelers that can handle a wider variety of terrain, yet still look swanky and being easy to push.
The general rule is that the bigger the wheels are, the easier it will be for your buggy to deal with bumpy ground and rough pavements. With larger wheels front and back also makes it easier to maneuver and more stable when walking downhill or on rough terrain.
MFM reviewer Kath tried this buggy on an infant as well as a child who was 3 wheel stroller travel system years old and found it extremely durable. It was able to withstand cobbles, grass and rough pavements, as well as dirt tracks and kerbs. She noted that it was solid to push, and very stable on difficult terrain. The tyres, which are inflatable and require to be pumped up regularly, have built-in suspension. This was very comfortable for my kids.
Another thing to consider is the seat size and shape. It should be big enough for your child's comfort and you will also want it to be able to recline so that they can lie flat. Certain three-wheel buggies come with the option of lying flat, which allows the child to face you, whereas others only allow a parent-facing one.
The Roma Atlas is a great alternative for off-road or walking in muddy areas. This buggy can be used as a single from birth, and then expands to accommodate two children as your family grows. It is suitable for toddlers and infants from birth to age 4, and comes with a bumper, raincover, an improved 5-point harness, and a big cushioned seat. Storage options are also a plus with a large storage basket, zip pockets on the hood and a handy pouch at the rear of seat unit.
Wheels with a larger diameter
Larger wheels will give your buggy more stability while driving over rough terrain. This is especially beneficial for buggies that are off-road. They also allow you to navigate the pushchair through tight spaces. Many three wheeled buggies have rotating front wheels that assist 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 with which they can be driven. This is particularly useful when you hit a tree or a kerb. The front wheel will lift slightly to keep it from hitting it.
A majority of 3 wheel baby strollers wheel pushchairs come with air-filled tyres, which means they can be used on many different terrains and are more flexible than 4-wheeler. They are also lighter. However, they're susceptible to punctures and you'll need to have a repair kit, spare tube and pump in your bag.
Our top 3 wheel parent facing pushchair-wheelers include the Mountain Buggy Core and Venicci Carbo Lux. Both of these buggies come with larger wheels that, as per MFM reviewer Kath, "perform really well on gravel tracks, grass and market town cobbles" and are able to effortlessly move up and down kerbs. They also have a suspension system which according to her "smoothes out bumps very effectively".
The downside of having bigger wheels is that they can make some buggies quite wide and make it difficult to get through narrow spaces. This can be an issue if you plan to are using it as a jogger or have to squeeze through doorways that are narrow while traveling. Many models have compact folding options that permit you to take off the front wheels and store them more compactly.
Easy to Manoeuvre
One of the primary benefits to a three wheel buggy is that it is much more maneuverable particularly with a child on the way. The way in which they are constructed means that the front wheels spin at a quick pace and are extremely easy to manoeuvre which makes them perfect for tricky terrain such as parks, cobbles and bumpy pavements as well as dirt tracks.
MFM reviewer Kath tested a 3 wheel all terrain buggy wheeler with her newborn and toddler and said: "The Terrain was a pleasure to maneuver over tough terrain, with the swivel front wheel being especially helpful. I was also amazed by the way it dealt with kerbs using the hand-operated break. 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 the 3-wheel buggy may make it difficult to fit into tight spaces. This is something you need to be aware of if your home area is one of the cities. If this is a problem then a 4-wheeled buggy could be the better choice for you.

The fabric sling seat sits in the frame, snugly instead of over it as modular seats. It provides the lower centre of gravity at the right height for your baby and also providing an excellent weight distribution to facilitate kerb pop (it takes less effort to push the 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 due to its lockable swivel front wheel and air filled tyres.

Comfort
A 3 wheel travel stroller-wheel buggy provides the most agility and performance when driving off-road. This kind of buggy is simple to steer and can turn in a flash thanks to its perfect geometry, engineering, and weight distribution.
The clever design of the Sport places the fabric sling seat within the frame, rather than sitting on top as modular seats. This allows it to have a lower center of gravity and makes it easier to push, has a lighter curb-pop (you won't need to put in the same effort to raise the buggy's nose over the curb) and provides greater stability and balance. With the 16" rear wheels, the lockable front wheel, and air-filled tyres, you can enjoy a more smooth, comfortable jog.

But that's not the only reason to adore this buggy Our MFM reviewer Kath loved how spacious it is as well. There's a large easily accessible basket that's surprisingly roomy for a buggy of this size, plus there's an easy-to-use pouch that zips up at the back of the seat unit, and even two smaller mesh pockets under the hood for your keys and phone.
