Three Wheeled Buggies
Three-wheeled buggies are great for walking around the neighborhood or jogging. Their compact design makes it easy to maneuver, even in tight places.
If you're looking for a smooth ride on your baby, select models with 360deg front wheels that swivel. However, they are more prone to punctures so be prepared with an repair kit.
Frame made of sturdy material
New data show that three-wheeled buggies, the emblem of the noughties, which were more expensive than common sense, are in steep decline. Four-wheelers are replacing them, and are more versatile and easier to drive and look stylish.
The bigger the wheels are the better your buggy will cope with uneven surfaces and bumpy pavements. The larger wheels, both front and rear, make it easier to maneuver and more stable when walking downhill or in difficult terrain.
MFM reviewer Kath tested the buggy with a newborn as well as a
best 3 wheel stroller with car seat year old and found it was able to handle cobbles, grass, rough roads, dirt tracks and kerbs. She said "it feels sturdy to push and very solid when traversing difficult terrain. Its tyres (which are inflatable, so require occasional pumping) have suspension built-in that was very comfortable for my children.
Another thing to consider is the seat size and shape. You will want it to be large enough to accommodate your child's comfort. You will also want it to be able to recline to allow them to lie flat. Some three-wheel buggies have the option of lying flat that lets your child face you, while others only permit a parent-facing option.
A great option for those who want to tackle off-road and muddy trails is the Roma Atlas. This buggy is ideal for a single child as early as birth, and can be adapted to accommodate two children as your family grows. It is suitable for babies and toddlers from age 4 and includes a bumper bar, raincover, a better 5-point harness and large padded seat unit. Storage options are also good, with a large basket, zip pockets on the hood, and an extra pouch on the rear of the seat unit.
Larger wheels
Larger wheels give your buggy more stability while driving over rough terrain. This is especially beneficial for buggies that are off-road. Additionally, they help you maneuver the buggy through tight spaces. Many
three wheeled buggies have rotating front wheels that help you navigate around corners with ease, whereas others are designed for running and come with fixed front wheels that lock to increase the speed and stability with the speed at which they can be pushed. This can also help if you bump into a tree root or stray road, as the front wheel can be lifted up slightly to prevent you from hitting it.
A majority of 3 wheeled pushchairs have air-filled tyres, which allows them to navigate a wide range of terrains. They are also more flexible than 4 wheelers. They're 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-wheelers include the Mountain Buggy Core and Venicci Carbo Lux. Both buggies feature larger wheels that, as per MFM reviewer Kath, "perform really well on grass, gravel tracks and market town cobbles" and are able to effortlessly climb and descend kerbs. They also have a suspension system which in her words "smoothes out bumps very effectively".
The downside of having larger wheels is that they can make some buggies quite wide and make it difficult to get through narrow spaces. This can be problematic if you intend to are using it as a jogger, or need to fit through doorways that are narrow while on the move. Many models have compact folding options that allow you to remove the front wheels and store them in a more compact manner.
Easy to maneuver
A three-wheeler can be more maneuverable for a child. The way they are built ensures that the front wheels turn at a whim and are incredibly maneuverable, making them ideal for difficult terrains such as parks, cobbles and bumpy pavements as well as dirt tracks.
MFM reviewer Kath tested a
3 wheel baby stroller wheeler with her toddler and newborn and said: "The Terrain was a pleasure to maneuver over tough terrain and the swivel front wheel being especially helpful. I was also impressed with the way it handled the kerbs, particularly when using the hand-operated brake. It was very stable in the downhills or on a rough terrain."
The only drawback of this great maneuverability is that the
three wheel buggies wheel buggy's larger wheels sometimes mean that it can struggle in tight spaces, something to consider when you live in a metropolitan area. If this is an issue then a 4-wheeler might be better for you.
Bumper bar
Bumper bars can shield your child from scrapes and bumps while out and out and about. They are easy to install, and will help your child feel safe and secure out and out and about.
The bumper bar is designed to match the sleek lines on your Slim Twin stroller. It comes with a soft, padded surface that provides a comfortable surface for your child to grab onto during walks. The durable construction and sturdy design ensures that your child can take a stroll around town without fearing of falling out of the buggy or leaning too far ahead.
The sling seat made of fabric sits in the frame, snugly instead of on top of it like modular seats do, providing the lowest center of gravity at the right height for your infant and also providing excellent weight distribution for easy kerb pop (it requires less effort to push the buggy up and over the curb than you think). MFM reviewer Kath found it coped really well with cobbles and grass and it's a good option for jogging due to its lockable swivel front wheel that can be locked and air-filled tyres.
This bumper bar will turn heads wherever it is used. It has a sophisticated and fashionable design. It's available in a range of finishes and colors to fit your style. It comes with a simple quick-release mechanism that makes it simple to install and remove

Kath the MFM reviewer, also adored the roominess of the buggy. There's a huge easy-to-access basket that's quite spacious for a buggy of this size as well as an excellent zip-up pouch on the rear of the seat unit and even 2 smaller mesh pockets inside the hood to store your phone and keys.
