Three Wheeled Buggies

If you're seeking a buggy to jog with or just a stroller that can be used for neighbourhood walks, three wheeled buggies provide great mobility. Their compact design makes them easy to maneuver even in tight spaces.

If you want an easy ride in your baby, opt for models with 360deg front wheels that swivel. However, they are prone to punctures so be prepared with a repair kit.

Sturdy frame

Recent figures have been released showing that the three-wheeled buggy - a symbol of the noughties of more money than sanity is on the verge of disappearing. They have been replaced by four-wheelers that are able to handle a wider range of terrain, yet still look elegant and easy to push.

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

MFM reviewer Kath tried this buggy on an infant and a 3-year-old child and found it to be very robust. It was able to handle grass, cobbles and rough pavements, aswell as dirt tracks and kerbs. She noted that it was sturdy to push, and very stable on difficult terrain. Its tyres (which are inflatable so need occasional pumping) have suspension built-in which was extremely comfortable for my kids.

Another thing to consider is the size of the seat and shape. You'll want it to be large enough to accommodate your child's comfort and you will also require it to recline to allow them to lie flat. Some three-wheel buggies offer the option of reclining completely, while others allow the parent to be facing one.

A great option for those who want to tackle off-road or muddy walks is the Roma Atlas. This buggy can be used as a one-person unit from birth and then adapts to accommodate two children as your family grows. It is suitable for infants and toddlers from birth to age 4, and includes a bumper, raincover, an improved 5-point harness, and a large cushioned seat. The storage options are good too, with a decent-sized basket, zip pockets inside the hood and an easy-to-access pouch on the back of the seat unit.

Wheels with a greater diameter

Larger wheels will give your buggy more stability when driving on rough terrain. This is perfect for off-road buggies. They also help you move the pushchair around tight spaces. Many three wheeled buggies have swivel front wheels to assist you in maneuvering around tight corners, while others are specifically designed for running and have fixed front wheels that lock to improve the speed and stability at which they can be driven. This can also help in the event that you hit an unintentional tree root or curb, since the front wheel can be lifted up slightly to prevent you from hitting it.

Many 3 wheeled pushchairs have air-filled tyres that allow them to tackle a broad range of terrains. They are also more flexible than 4 wheelers. They are also lighter. However, they're susceptible to punctures so you'll need to keep an repair kit, spare tube and pump handy.

Mountain Buggy Core, Venicci Carbo and the Venicci Carbo lux are among our top 3 wheel stroller and car seat-wheelers. According to MFM's Kath, have larger wheels which, she says "perform well on grass, gravel roads and market town cobbles" and are able to move up and down kerbs. They also come with a suspension system that according to her "smoothes out bumps very effectively".

Buggies with bigger wheels can be quite wide, and can be difficult to fit into narrow spaces. This can be an issue especially if you're using it to a jogger or to to get through doors that are narrow when out and about. Luckily, most models have small 3 wheel stroller folding options that let you remove the front wheels to create more compact storage.

Easy to Manoeuvre

A three-wheel buggy can be more comfortable to drive with children. The way in which they are constructed means that the front wheels spin at a quick pace and are really easy to manoeuvre which makes them perfect for difficult terrains such as parks, cobbles, bumpy pavements and dirt tracks.

MFM reviewer Kath tried the 3 wheel stroller set-wheeler with her toddler, and she wrote: "The Terrain is a delight to navigate on uneven terrain. The front swivel wheel was especially useful." I was also amazed by the way it handled kerbs with the hand-operated break. It was extremely stable when in the downhills or on a rough terrain."

The only downside of this great mobility is that the 3 wheel buggy's bigger wheels sometimes mean that it can struggle in tight spaces, something to be aware of especially if you live in a city region. If this is the case then a 4-wheeled buggy could be a better option for you.

Bumper bar

Bumper bars can shield your child from bumps and scrapes while out and out and about. These bumper bars are easy to install and will help your child feel secure and safe while out and about.

This bumper bar was designed to complement the sleek lines on your Slim Twin stroller. It features a soft, padded surface to provide a comfortable place for your child to grab onto while walking. The sturdy construction and durable design ensure that your child will enjoy a stroll without fearing of falling out of the buggy or leaning too far forward.

The sling seat made of fabric sits in the frame, snugly as opposed to sitting on top like modular seats do, providing the lowest center of gravity at the right height for your baby and also delivering an excellent weight distribution to facilitate kerb pop (it takes much less effort to push the buggy over and up the curb than you think). MFM reviewer Kath said it's excellent on cobbles and grass. It's also a great alternative for running, thanks to its air-filled tyres as well as a the lockable swivel wheel.

With a stylish and sophisticated appearance this bumper bar will surely attract attention wherever you go. Available in a variety of finishes and colors that can be customized to fit your style. It features a simple, quick-release mechanism that makes it easy to remove and install the bumper bar as necessary. Moreover the bumper bar is easy to clean, and is made from durable materials that are easy to wipe down. This makes it a great option for families that want an attractive and secure accessory for their stroller.

Comfort

A 3 wheel infant stroller-wheel buggy is a great off-road vehicle to maneuver and performance. 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; and all Mountain Buggies meet the same rigorous global stability standards and tests as 4-wheel buggies.

Designed with fabric sling seat positioned snugly inside the frame, not on top of it like modular seats, the Sport's clever design enables it to have a lower center of gravity at the right height for your child, giving you a more comfortable push, a less hefty curb pop (you do not require any effort or weight to push the hood of your buggy up and over a curb) and better stability and balance. With its massive 16'' rear wheels, lockable swivel front wheel and tyres with air that require just a few pumps, you get an unhurried ride on rough terrain and a smoother and more comfortable jog.

The only stroller in our collection that has a parent-facing seat which can also accommodate the car seat or carrycot, you can ensure your family's future is secure and enjoy every adventure from the first day and for years to come!

Kath the MFM reviewer, also adored the spaciousness of this buggy. There's a easily accessible large basket that's surprising spacious for a vehicle of this size. Additionally, there's a handy pouch on the back of the unit, and 2 smaller mesh pockets under the hood where you can keep your phone and keys.
