Three Wheeled Buggies
Three-wheeled buggies are great for walking around the neighborhood or jogging. Their compact design makes them easy to maneuver even in tight spots.
For a smooth ride, opt for a pram that has air-filled tyres. Also, look for models with a 360deg front swivel wheel. However, they are prone to punctures, so be prepared with a repair kit.
Frame made of sturdy material
Figures have just been released that show that the three-wheeled buggie which was a symbol of the decade of more money than wisdom - is in steep decline. They have been replaced by four-wheelers that are able to handle a wider range of terrain, while also looking swanky and being easy to push.
The idea is that the bigger the wheels are, the easier it will be for your buggy to deal with bumpy and rough pavements. The larger wheels both rear and front enable you to move and more stable when walking downhill or on difficult terrain.
MFM reviewer Kath tried the buggy with a newborn and 3 year old and found that it was able to handle grass, cobbles, rough roads, dirt tracks and kerbs. She said that it felt solid to push, and extremely solid on rough terrain. The tyres, that are inflatable and need to be pumped regularly, have built-in suspension. It was extremely comfortable for my kids.
Another thing to think about is the seat size and shape. You want the seat to be large enough for your child to be comfortable and allow them to lie down. Some three-wheel buggies offer the option of lying flat, which lets your child face you, whereas others only allow a face-to-parent one.
A great choice for tackling off-road and muddy walks is the Roma Atlas. The buggy can be used as a single unit from the beginning and can be modified to accommodate two children as your family expands. It is suitable for babies and toddlers from age 4 and includes a bumper bar, raincover, an improved 5-point harness and a spacious cushioned seat. Storage options are also great with a large basket and zip pockets on the hood and an attractive pouch at the rear of seat unit.
Larger wheels
Larger wheels means that your buggy will have more stability on rough terrain - ideal for buggies that are off-road. They also make it easier to maneuver the pushchair in tight spaces. Many three wheeled buggies have the front wheels that swivel to assist you in maneuvering around tight corners, whereas others are specifically 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 is particularly useful when you crash into trees or a kerb. The front wheel will be lifted slightly to keep it from hitting it.
A lot of 3 wheeled pushchairs come with air-filled tyres that allow them to navigate a wide range of terrains. They are also more flexible than 4 wheelers. They are also lighter. However, they're prone to punctures, so you'll need to keep an repair kit, spare tube, and pump on hand.
Mountain Buggy Core, Venicci Carbo and Venicci Carbo Lux are some of our favourite 3 wheeler pushchair-wheelers. Both of these buggies come with larger wheels that, according to MFM reviewer Kath, "perform really well on gravel tracks, grass and market town cobbles" and are able to effortlessly go up and down kerbs. They also have a suspension that according to Kath "smooths out bumps with great efficiency".
The downside of having bigger wheels is that they make some buggies quite broad and may struggle to squeeze through narrow spaces. This is a problem especially if you're using it to an exercise bike or to to get through narrow doorways when out and out and about. Most models come with compact folding options, which allow you to remove the front wheels and store them more compactly.
Easy to maneuver
A three-wheeler can be easier to maneuver with children. The way in which they are built means that the front wheels spin on a dime and are incredibly easy to manoeuvre and are ideal for difficult terrain like cobbles, parks and bumpy pavements as well as dirt tracks.
MFM reviewer Kath tested a 3 wheel reversible stroller wheeler with her newborn and toddler and said: "The Terrain was a pleasure to maneuver over tough ground, with the swivel front wheel being especially helpful. I was also impressed by the way it handled kerbs, especially when using the brake operated by hand. It was extremely stable when for descending or on uneven terrain."
The only downside to this amazing maneuverability is that the larger wheels of the 3 wheel all terrain pushchair-wheel buggy may make it difficult to squeeze into tight spaces. This is something you need to keep in mind when you live in a city. If this is a concern, a 4-wheel buggy might be a better choice for you.
Bumper bar
Bumper bars can shield your child from scrapes and bumps when they are out and out and about. These bumper bars are easy to install, and will make your child feel secure and safe while out and out and about.
Created to match the sleek lines of your Slim Twin stroller, this bumper bar has a soft and padded surface that offers a comfortable spot for your child to hold onto when walking. The durable construction and sturdy design ensure that your child can take a stroll around town without worrying about falling out of the buggy or leaning too far forward.
The fabric sling sits snugly within 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 great weight distribution, making it easier to pop over curbs (it is much easier to push a stroller up and over than you may think). MFM reviewer Kath found it coped really well with cobbles and grass and is a great option for jogging with its lockable swivel front wheel and air filled tyres.
With a stylish and sophisticated look This bumper bar is sure to draw attention wherever you go. Available in a range of colours and finishes and designs, it can be tailored to match your style. It has a simple, quick-release mechanism that makes it simple to remove and install the bumper bar when needed. Furthermore, the bumper bar is easy to clean and is made from durable materials that are simple to wipe down. This makes it an excellent option for families seeking an elegant and safe stroller accessory.
Comfort
A 3-wheel buggie offers the highest level of maneuverability and performance when going off road. This kind of buggy is simple to steer and turn on a dime with its perfect geometry, engineering, and weight distribution.
The seat is made of fabric placed snugly within the frame instead of sitting on top like modular seats, the Sport's clever design allows it to have a lower center of gravity that is the perfect level for your child - giving you a more comfortable push, a lighter curb pop (you don't need any effort or weight to push the hood of your buggy up and over the curb) and a better stability and balance. And with the huge rear wheels that measure 16 inches with lockable swivel wheels on the front and air filled tyres that only require occasional pumping, you get a bump free ride over rough terrain, and a smoother more comfortable jog.
The only stroller in our range that comes with a parent-facing seat which can also accommodate a car seat or carrycot, you can future-proof your family to enjoy every adventure from the first day and for many years to come!
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 a large, easily accessible basket that's surprisingly roomy for such a small buggy as well as a handy zipped pouch at the rear of the seat unit and two smaller mesh pockets inside the hood to keep your keys and phone.
