Three Wheeled Buggies
Whether you're looking for a buggy to run around in or 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 are looking for an easy ride in your pram, choose models with 360deg front wheels that can swivel. However, they are susceptible to punctures, so be prepared with a repair kit.
Sturdy frame
The latest figures have been released showing that the three-wheeled vehicle - a symbol of the noughties of more money than wisdom - is in steep decline. Four-wheelers have replaced them, which are more versatile and easy to drive and look stylish.
The larger the wheels are the better your buggy can deal with bumpy and uneven pavements. The larger wheels, both front and rear enable you to maneuver and more stable when walking downhill or in difficult terrain.
MFM reviewer Kath tested this buggy with an infant as well as a child who was 3 wheel stroller years old and found it to be extremely robust. It was able to withstand 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. The tyres, which are inflatable and need to be pumped regularly and have a suspension built-in. It was extremely comfortable for my children.
The size and shape of the seat is a further factor to think about. It is important for the seat to be big enough for your child to be comfortable and to allow them to lie down. Certain three-3 wheel push chair buggies have an option to lie flat completely while others will only allow an adult facing one.
An excellent option for taking on off-road and muddy walks is the Roma Atlas. The buggy 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 babies and toddlers from age four and comes with a bumper bar, raincover, an improved 5-point harness and large cushioned seat. Storage options are also good, with a large basket, zip pockets on the hood and a handy pouch at the rear of seat unit.
Larger wheels
Larger wheels will give your buggy more stability when driving over rough terrain. This is ideal for off-road buggies. In addition, they make it easier to manoeuvre the buggy through tight spaces. Some three-wheeled buggies come with swivel wheels at the front to assist you in navigating tight corners. Others are designed for running and have fixed wheels that lock for increased speed and stability. This also helps when you crash into the roots of a tree or stray road, as the front wheel will rise up slightly to prevent you from hitting it.
A lot of 3 wheel compact stroller wheel pushchairs have air filled tyres which means they can handle many different terrains and are much more flexible than 4-wheeler. They are also lighter. They are more prone to punctures, and you'll need to have an repair kit and spare inner tubes on hand.
Mountain Buggy Core, Venicci Carbo and Venicci Carbo lux are some of our favourite 3 wheel stroller and car seat-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 are able to climb or descend kerbs. They also have a suspension system that according to her "smoothes out bumps extremely effectively".
The downside of having larger wheels is that they make buggies quite large and make it difficult to get through narrow spaces. This can be a problem if you use it for jogging or you need to get through doorways that are narrow while traveling. Fortunately, many models come with small folding options that allow you to take off the front wheels to make compact storage.
Easy to Manoeuvre
One of the main benefits to a three-wheeled buggy is that it's much easier to maneuver, especially with a child in tow. They are designed so that the front wheels rotate at a moment's notice, and are easy to move, making them ideal for terrains that are difficult, such as parks, cobblestones as well as bumpy roads and dirt tracks.
MFM reviewer Kath tried out a three-wheeler with her toddler and newborn and wrote: "The Terrain was a delight to maneuver on the ground with the swivel rear wheel particularly useful. I was also impressed with how well it dealt with kerbs, especially when using the brake operated by hand. It was extremely stable when going downhill or on a rough terrain."
The only drawback to this amazing maneuverability is that the lightweight 3 wheel pushchair wheel buggy's bigger wheels sometimes mean that it will struggle in tight spaces, something to be aware of if you live in a urban region. If this is a concern then a 4-wheel buggy may be better for you.
Bumper bar
Bumper bars are a great way to protect your child from scrapes and bumps while out and about. They are easy and quick to put in and will make your child feel secure and safe whilst out on the town or on the trail.
Designed to complement the sleek lines of the sleek lines of your Slim Twin stroller, this bumper bar features a soft and cushioned surface that provides a comfortable place for your child to hold on to during walks. The sturdy construction and durable design will ensure that your child will be capable of enjoying a stroll around the town without worrying about falling or leaning forward.
The sling seat made of fabric sits comfortably inside the frame as opposed to sitting on top like modular seats do, providing the lowest center of gravity at the ideal height for your baby and also providing an excellent weight distribution to facilitate kerb pop (it requires less effort to push a buggy up and over a curb than you might think). MFM reviewer Kath found it coped really well with cobbles and grass and is a great choice for jogging thanks to its lockable swivel front wheel that can be locked and air filled tyres.
This bumper bar will attract attention wherever it's used. It has a classy and stylish appearance. Available in a range of finishes and colours that can be customized to fit your style. The bumper bar can be easily installed and removed using a quick-release mechanism. Furthermore, the bumper bar is easy to clean and is constructed of sturdy materials that are easy to wipe down. This makes it an excellent choice for families who want an elegant and safe accessory for their stroller.

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