Three Wheeled Buggies

Three-wheeled buggies are great for strolling around the neighborhood or running. Their compact design makes it easy to maneuver, even in tight places.

For a smooth ride, opt for a pram fitted with air-filled tyres. Look for models with 360deg front swivel wheels. However, they are prone to punctures, so make sure you are prepared with an 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 rapid decline. Four-wheelers are replacing them, and are more flexible and simple to drive and look fashionable.

The bigger the wheels are, the more your buggy will be able to deal with bumpy surfaces and uneven pavements. The larger wheels on both the front and back also makes it much easier to manoeuvre and more stable when walking downhill or on difficult terrain.

MFM reviewer Kath tested this buggy with the newborn baby as well as a child who was 3 wheeled travel system years old and found it to be very robust. It was able to handle cobbles, grass and rough pavements, as well as dirt tracks and kerbs. Kath said that "it is sturdy to push and extremely solid when traversing difficult 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.

Another thing to consider is the size and shape. You will want it to be big enough for your child's comfort. You will also need it to recline to allow them to lie flat. Some three-wheel buggies offer a full lie-flat option while others allow a parent facing one.

A great choice for tackling off-road and muddy trails is the Roma Atlas. This buggy can be used as a single from birth and then adapts to take two children when your family grows. It is suitable for toddlers and infants from birth until age 4 and comes with a bumper, raincover, an improved 5-point harness, and a big cushioned seat. Storage options are also great, with a large basket with zip pockets on the hood, and a handy pouch at the rear of seat unit.

Wheels with a larger diameter

Larger wheels will give your buggy more stability while driving on rough terrain. This is especially beneficial for buggies designed for off-road use. They also make it easier to move the pushchair around tight spaces. Some three-wheeled buggies come with rotating wheels at 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 also helpful if you bump into a tree root or stray curb, since the front wheel can be lifted up slightly to prevent you from hitting it.

Many 3 wheel pushchairs feature air-filled tyres, which means they can handle a variety of terrains and are far more flexible than 4-wheeler. They also tend to be lighter. They are also more susceptible to punctures, so you will require an repair kit and spare inner tubes on hand.

Mountain Buggy Core, Venicci Carbo and Venicci Carbo Lux are some of our favourite 3-wheelers. These buggies, as per MFM's Kath, have larger wheels, which according to her "perform well on gravel roads, grass and market town cobbles" and are able to move up and down kerbs. They also have a suspension system which in her words "smoothes out bumps very effectively".

Buggies with larger wheels may be quite wide and can be difficult to fit into tight 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 out and about. The majority of models come with compact folding options that allow you to remove the front wheels and store them more compactly.

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. The way in which they are built ensures that the front wheels turn on a dime and are extremely easy to maneuver and are ideal for difficult terrain like cobbles, parks, bumpy pavements and dirt tracks.

MFM reviewer Kath tried a 3-wheeler with her infant and toddler and wrote: "The Terrain was a pleasure to maneuver over tough ground and the swivel front wheel being particularly helpful. I was also impressed with how well it coped with bumps, particularly when using the hand-operated brake. It was very stable for descending or on a rough terrain."

The only drawback to this great mobility is that the 3 wheel buggy's bigger wheels sometimes mean that it can struggle in tight spaces - something to keep in mind especially if you live in a city area. If this is the case then a four-wheeled buggy might be the better choice for you.

Bumper bar

Bumper bars are the ideal method to protect your little one from bumps and scrapes when out and out and about. They are easy and quick to put up and help your child feel secure and safe when out in the city or taking on tough terrain.

Designed to complement the sleek lines of your Slim Twin stroller, this bumper bar features a soft and cushioned surface that offers an ideal place for your child to hold to when walking. The sturdy construction and durable design ensures that your child will enjoy strolling around town without worrying about falling out of the buggy or leaning too far forward.

The sling's fabric is placed inside the frame, not on top like the modular seat. This puts the center of gravity for your newborn at the ideal height, and also offers excellent weight distribution to make it easier to push over curbs (it is much easier to push a stroller up and down than you think). MFM reviewer Kath found it coped really well with cobbles and grass and is a great choice for jogging due to its lockable swivel wheel on the front and air-filled tyres.

This bumper bar is sure to make heads turn wherever it's utilized. It has a classy and elegant design. It's available in a variety of finishes and colors to fit your style. It features a simple, quick-release mechanism that makes it easy to remove and install the bumper bar as necessary. The bumper bar is easy to clean, as it is made of strong materials. This makes it a great option for families seeking a stylish and secure stroller accessory.
