Three Wheeled BuggiesThree-wheeled buggies are ideal for walking around the neighborhood or for jogging. Their compact design allows them to be maneuvered easily even in tight areas.
For a smooth ride, go for a pram fitted with air-filled tyres and look for models with an swivel wheel that rotates 360 degrees in front. They are prone, however to punctures. Be prepared with an emergency repair kit.
Sturdy frame
New figures show that three-wheeled buggies, the symbol of the noughties that had more money than common sense, are in a steep decline. Four-wheelers have replaced them, and are more versatile and easy to drive while still looking elegant.
The larger the wheels are, the more your buggy will be able to deal with bumpy and uneven pavements. The larger wheels, both front and rear enable you to maneuver and more stable when walking downhill or over difficult terrain.
MFM reviewer Kath tried the buggy with a newborn and
3 wheel pushchair year old and found it was able to handle grass, cobbles, rough pavements, dirt tracks and kerbs. She said that it felt solid to push, and very solid on difficult terrain. The tyres, which are inflatable and need to be pumped regularly, have built-in suspension. This was very comfortable for my children.
The shape and size of the seat is a further factor to think about. It should be large enough for your child's comfort and you will also require it to recline so that they can lie flat. Certain three-wheel buggies have an option to lie flat completely while others only allow for a parent facing one.
An excellent option for taking on off-road and muddy trails 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 infants and toddlers from birth to age 4 and comes with a bumper and raincover, a new 5-point harness, and a huge cushioned seat. Storage options are also good with a large storage basket, zip pockets on the hood, and a handy pouch on the rear of the seat unit.
Larger wheels
Larger wheels give your buggy more stability when driving on rough terrain. This is especially beneficial for buggies that are off-road. They also make it easier to move the pushchair around tight spaces. Many three wheeled buggies have swivel front wheels to assist you in maneuvering around tight corners, whereas others are designed for running and have fixed front wheels that lock to improve the speed and stability at the speed at which they can be pushed. This is especially useful when you crash into trees or a kerb. The front wheel will be lifted slightly to prevent hitting it.
A majority of
3 wheeler pushchair off road wheeled pushchairs have air-filled tyres that allow them to handle a wide range of terrains. They are also more flexible than 4 wheelers. They also tend to be lighter. They are more prone to punctures, so you'll require repair kits and an spare inner tube in your arsenal.
Mountain Buggy Core, Venicci Carbo and Venicci Carbo Lux are among our favorite
3 wheel push chair-wheelers. These buggies, according to MFM's Kath, have larger wheels which according to her "perform well on grass, gravel roads and market town cobbles" and are able to go up or down kerbs. The buggies also come with suspensions that according to Kath "smooths out bumps extremely effectively".
The drawback of having larger wheels is that they can make some buggies quite broad and may struggle to squeeze through narrow spaces. This is a problem when you're using it for a jogger or you need to to get through doorways that are narrow when you're out and about. Most models come with small folding options that let you remove the front wheels and store them more compactly.
Easy to Manoeuvre
One of the main benefits to a three-wheeled buggy is that it's much more maneuverable especially with a child in the back. The way in which they are built ensures that the front wheels spin at a whim and are incredibly easy to maneuver, making them ideal for tricky terrain like cobbles, parks, bumpy pavements and dirt tracks.
MFM reviewer Kath tried a
3 wheel pushchair sale-wheeler with her toddler, and she said: "The Terrain is a pleasure to drive on rough terrain. The swivel wheel front was especially helpful." I was also impressed by how well it dealt with bumps, particularly when using the brake operated by hand. I found it extremely stable when driving downhill or on uneven ground."
The only downside to this incredible maneuverability is that the larger wheels of a 3 wheel buggy might make it difficult to fit into tight spaces. This is something to keep in mind when your home is a city. If this is a problem then a 4-wheel buggy may be better for you.

Kath the MFM reviewer, also appreciated the roominess of the buggy. There's a huge easy-to-access basket that's surprisingly roomy for a buggy of this size and there's an excellent zip-up pouch on the back of the seat unit, and two smaller mesh pockets under the hood to keep your keys and phone.
