three wheeled buggies [had me going]

Whether you're looking for a buggy to run around in or a nifty stroller to tackle strolls around the neighborhood, three-wheeled buggies offer great mobility. Their compact 3 wheel stroller design allows them to be maneuvered easily, even in tight spaces.

For a smooth ride, opt for a pram fitted with air-filled tyres. Also, look for models with a 360deg front swivel wheel. However, they are susceptible to punctures, so be prepared with an repair kit.

Sturdy frame

The latest figures have been released revealing that the three-wheeled buggy which was a symbol of the decade of more money than wisdom is on the verge of disappearing. Four-wheelers are replacing them, and are more versatile and easy to drive while still looking stylish.

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

MFM reviewer Kath tested this buggy with a newborn baby and a toddler and found it to be very sturdy. It handled cobbles, grass, and rough pavements, as well as dirt tracks and kerbs. Kath said it felt solid to push, and extremely solid on rough terrain. Its tyres (which are inflatable so need periodic pumping) offer built-in suspension, which was very comfortable for my kids.

Another thing to consider is the size and shape. It should be large enough for your child's comfort. You will also require it to recline so that they can lie flat. Some three-wheel buggies have a lie-flat option that lets your child face you, whereas others only allow a parent-facing one.

The Roma Atlas is a great option for off-road and muddy walks. This buggy is ideal for a single child as early as birth, and can be adapted to accommodate two children as your family expands. It is suitable for toddlers and infants from birth to age 4. It comes with a bumper and raincover, a new 5-point harness, and a large padded seat. Storage options are also good, with a large basket with zip pockets on the hood, and an attractive pouch at the rear of seat unit.

Larger wheels

Larger wheels mean that your buggy will have more stability on rough terrain - ideal for buggies that are off-road. They also allow you to maneuver the pushchair through narrow spaces. Many three wheeled buggies have swivel front wheels to assist you in maneuvering around tight corners, while others are designed for running and come with fixed front wheels that lock to improve the speed and stability with the speed at which they can be pushed. This can also help in the event that you hit an unintentional tree root or curb, since the front wheel will rise up a bit to prevent you from hitting it.

A majority of 3 wheeled pushchairs have air-filled tyres which allow them to navigate a wide range of terrains. They are also more flexible 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.

Mountain Buggy Core, Venicci Carbo and Venicci Carbo Lux are among our top 3 wheel pushchair travel system-wheelers. 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 can easily climb and descend kerbs. They also have a suspension system which, in her words "smoothes out bumps extremely effectively".

The downside of having bigger wheels is that they can make some buggies quite broad and can struggle to fit through narrow spaces. This is a problem if you're using it as a jogger or to to get through narrow doorways when out and out and about. Luckily, most models have small folding options that let you remove the front wheels to make compact storage.

Easy to Manoeuvre

One of the main benefits of a three-wheel buggy is that it can be much easier to maneuver particularly with a child in tow. They are designed to ensure that the front wheels turn on a dime, and are easy to move, making them ideal for difficult terrain like cobblestones, parks as well as bumpy roads and dirt tracks.

MFM reviewer Kath tested a 3 wheel pushchair wheeler with her infant and toddler and stated: "The Terrain was a pleasure to maneuver over tough ground and the swivel front wheel particularly useful. I was also awed by the way it handled kerbs when using the hand-operated break. I found it extremely stable when driving downhill or on uneven ground."

The only downside of this amazing maneuverability is that the 3 wheel buggy's larger wheels do sometimes mean that it will struggle in tight spaces - something to consider if you live in a urban region. If this is the case, a 4-wheeled buggy may be a better option for you.

Bumper bar

Bumper bars are the perfect method to protect your child from bumps and scrapes when out and about. These bumper bars are simple to put in place and will make your child feel safe and secure out and about.

It is designed to complement the sleek lines of the sleek lines of your Slim Twin stroller, this bumper bar is a soft and padded surface that provides a comfortable spot for your child to hang on to during walks.

The sling is stowed within the frame, not on top like the modular seat. This puts the center of gravity for your baby at the ideal height, and also provides excellent weight distribution to make it easier to climb 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 choice for jogging with its lockable swivel front wheel that can be locked and air-filled tyres.
