Three Wheeled Buggies
Three-wheeled buggies are great for walking around the neighborhood or for jogging. Their compact design makes them easy to maneuver even in tight places.
If you are looking for a smooth ride on your baby, select models with 360deg front wheels with swivel. However, 3 wheeler pushchairs are prone to punctures, so be prepared with a repair kit.
Frame made of sturdy material
New figures show that three-wheeled buggies, that symbol of the noughties that were more expensive than common sense, are in steep decline. They are being replaced by four-wheelers which can be more versatile in terrain, while still looking elegant and easy to push.
The rule is that the bigger the wheels, the easier it will be for your buggy to deal with rough ground and bumpy pavements. Having larger wheels both front and back makes it easier to manoeuvre and more stable when walking downhill or on difficult terrain.
MFM reviewer Kath tried this buggy on the newborn baby and a toddler and found it extremely durable. It was able to withstand cobbles, grass, and rough pavements, as well as dirt tracks and kerbs. Kath said it felt solid to push and very stable on difficult terrain. Its tyres (which are inflatable, so require periodic pumping) come with suspension built-in which was extremely comfortable for my children.
Another thing to take into consideration is the seat size and shape. It is important for the seat to be large enough for your child to feel at ease and to lie down. Some three-wheel buggies offer the option of lying flat that allows the child to face you, whereas others only allow a parent-facing one.
A great choice for tackling off-road or muddy walks is the Roma Atlas. This buggy is suitable for a single child as early as birth and can be adjusted to accommodate two children as your family grows. It is suitable for infants and toddlers from birth until age 4. It comes with a bumper, raincover, an improved 5-point harness, and a big padded seat. The storage options are great as well, with a decent-sized basket, zip pockets inside the hood, and an attractive pouch at the back of the seat unit.
Wheels with a greater diameter
Larger wheels mean that your buggy will have more stability on rough terrain - perfect for off-road buggies. They also allow you to maneuver the pushchair in tight spaces. Certain three-wheeled buggies have wheels that swivel on the front to help you navigate tight corners. Others are designed to run and have fixed wheels that lock for greater speed and stability. This is especially useful when you crash into trees or a kerb. The front wheel can be lifted slightly to prevent hitting it.
A majority of 3 wheel pushchairs come with air-filled tyres, which means they can be used on many different terrains and are far more adaptable than 4-wheelers. They are also lighter. They are prone to punctures, and you'll need to have an repair kit and spare inner tube on hand.
Our top 3-wheelers include the Mountain Buggy Core and Venicci Carbo Lux. According to MFM's Kath, have larger wheels that she claims "perform well on gravel roads, grass and market town cobbles" and are able to climb or descend kerbs. They also have suspensions that Kath says "smooths out bumps very effectively".
Buggies with bigger wheels can be quite large, and they may be a challenge to fit into narrow spaces. This could be an issue if you plan to use it for jogging or have to squeeze through narrow doorways while out and about. The majority of models come with compact folding options that let you remove the front wheels and store them in a more compact manner.
Easy to maneuver
A three-wheel buggy can be more comfortable to drive with a child. They are designed so that the front wheels can rotate at a moment's notice, and are easy to move, making them ideal for difficult terrain like parks, cobblestones and bumpy roads. dirt tracks.
MFM reviewer Kath tested a 3 wheeler with her toddler and newborn and said: "The Terrain was a pleasure to maneuver over tough terrain with the swivel rear wheel particularly useful. I was also impressed by how well it coped with the kerbs, particularly when using the hand-operated brake. I found it to be extremely stable when going downhill or over uneven terrain."
The only drawback of this great maneuverability is that the three wheel buggy's bigger wheels sometimes mean that it will be difficult to maneuver in tight spaces - something to be aware of when you live in a city region. If this is the case then a four-wheeled buggy might be the better option for you.
Bumper bar

The fabric sling sits snugly inside the frame and not on top of the modular seat.

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