Three Wheeled Buggies

If you're looking for a buggy to run around in or a nifty stroller to tackle the neighborhood, three-wheeled buggies offer great mobility. Their compact design makes it easy to maneuver, even in tight places.

If you are looking for a smooth ride with your pram, choose models with 360deg front wheels that swivel. They are prone, however to punctures. Be prepared with an repair kit.

Frame made of sturdy material

The latest figures have been released that show that the three-wheeled buggy - that noughties symbol of more money than sense is on the verge of disappearing. Four-wheelers have replaced them, and are more versatile and easy to drive while still looking fashionable.

The basic idea is that the bigger the wheels, the easier it will be for your buggy to deal with rough ground and bumpy pavements. With larger wheels front and back also makes it easier to manoeuvre and more stable when walking downhill or on difficult terrain.

MFM reviewer Kath tested the buggy with a newborn and a 3 wheeled pushchairs year old and found it was able to handle grass, cobbles rough roads, dirt tracks and kerbs. She noted that it was sturdy to push, and extremely solid on rough terrain. Its tyres, which are inflated and require to be pumped up occasionally and have a suspension built-in. It was extremely comfortable for my children.

The shape and size of the seat is another thing to consider. 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 that allows your child to lie flat and face you, while others only allow a face-to-parent one.

A great option for those who want to tackle off-road and muddy walks is the Roma Atlas. This buggy is suitable for a single child as early as birth and can be modified to accommodate two children as your family expands. It is suitable for babies and toddlers from age four and includes a bumper bar, raincover, an improved 5-point harness, and a large cushioned seat. Storage options are also great, with a large basket with zip pockets on the hood and an attractive pouch on the rear of the seat unit.

Wheels with a larger diameter

Larger wheels means that your buggy will have more stability on rough terrain - ideal for buggies designed for off-road use. They also allow you to maneuver the pushchair in tight spaces. Many three wheeled buggies have rotating front wheels that 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 which they can be driven. This is particularly useful when you hit trees or a kerb. The front wheel can be lifted slightly to avoid hitting it.

Many 3 wheel tandem stroller wheel pushchairs feature air filled tyres which means they can handle a variety of terrains and are more adaptable than 4-wheelers. They are also lighter. However, they're susceptible to punctures and you'll need a repair kit, spare tube and pump handy.

Some of our favourite 3 wheel stroller with infant car seat-wheelers include the Mountain Buggy Core and Venicci Carbo Lux. Both buggies feature larger wheels that, according to MFM reviewer Kath, "perform really well on gravel tracks, grass and market town cobbles" and are able to effortlessly climb and descend kerbs. The buggies also come with suspensions that, according to Kath "smooths out bumps with great efficiency".

Buggies with larger wheels can be quite wide, and can be difficult to fit into narrow spaces. This is a problem especially if you're using it to an exercise bike or to be able to get through narrow doorways when out and out and about. Luckily, most models have compact folding options that allow you to take off the front wheels for more compact storage.

Easy to manoeuvre

One of the major advantages of a three-wheel buggy is that it is much more maneuverable, especially with a child in tow. They are designed to ensure that the front wheels can rotate at a moment's notice, and are easy to navigate, making them ideal for terrains that are difficult, such as cobblestones, parks 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 pleasure to maneuver over tough terrain and the swivel front wheel being particularly helpful. 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 steady when I was driving downhill or over uneven terrain."

The only drawback to this incredible maneuverability is that the larger wheels of the 3 wheeled buggy wheel buggy can sometimes make it difficult to fit into tight spaces. This is something you should be aware of if your home area is a city. If this is a problem then a 4-wheel buggy may be a better choice 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 safe and secure 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 place for your child to hang to during walks. The robust construction and sturdy design will ensure that your child will be able to enjoy strolling around town without having to worry about falling or leaning towards the side.

The sling seat made of fabric sits comfortably inside the frame instead of over it as modular seats. It provides the lowest center of gravity at the ideal height for your baby and also delivering great weight distribution for a simple kerb pop (it takes less effort to push the buggy over and up a curb than you think). MFM reviewer Kath said it's excellent on cobbles and grass. It's also a great option for running thanks to its air-filled tyres as well as a locking swivel wheels.

Kath the MFM reviewer, also appreciated the spaciousness of this buggy. There's an easily accessible large basket that's surprisingly spacious for a buggy of this size. Plus, there's also a handy pouch on the back of the unit, and 2 smaller mesh pockets underneath the hood to keep your phone and keys.
