Three Wheeled Buggies
If you're looking for a buggy run with or just a nifty stroller to tackle strolls around the neighborhood, three-wheeled buggies provide great mobility. Their compact design makes it easy to maneuver even in tight spaces.
For a smooth ride, opt for a pram with air-filled tyres and look for models with 360deg front swivel wheels. However, they are more prone to punctures, so be prepared with a repair kit.
Sturdy frame
The latest figures have been released showing that the three-wheeled vehicle - that noughties symbol of more money than wisdom is in a decline. Four-wheelers have replaced them, and are more flexible and simple to drive and look elegant.
double pushchair 3 wheeler are the better your buggy will cope with bumpy surfaces and uneven pavements. With larger wheels front and back makes it much easier to manoeuvre and more stable when walking downhill or over difficult terrain.
MFM reviewer Kath tried the buggy with a newborn as well as a 3 year old and found it was able to withstand grass, cobbles, rough roads, dirt tracks and kerbs. Kath wrote "it is sturdy to push and extremely solid when traversing difficult terrain. Its tyres (which are inflatable, so require occasional pumping) offer built-in suspension, which was very comfortable for my children.
Another thing to think about is the seat size and shape. You will want it to be large enough for your child's comfort and you will also need it to recline so that they can lie flat. Certain three-wheel buggies have an option to lie flat completely while others will only allow an adult facing one.
The Roma Atlas is a great option for off-road and wet walks. This buggy is ideal for a single child from birth and can be modified to accommodate two children as your family expands. It is suitable for infants and toddlers up to age 4 and comes with a bumper bar, raincover, a better 5-point harness and large cushioned seat unit. Storage options are also great with a large storage basket, zip pockets on the hood and an attractive pouch at the rear of seat unit.
Larger wheels
Larger wheels give your buggy greater stability when driving on rough terrain. This is ideal for buggies that are off-road. They also allow you to navigate the pushchair through tight spaces. A lot of three-wheeled buggies come with the front wheels that swivel 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 which they can be driven. This is especially useful when you crash into a tree or a kerb. The front wheel will lift slightly to avoid hitting it.
A majority of 3 wheel pushchairs come with air-filled tyres. This means they can handle a variety of terrains and are much more adaptable than 4-wheelers. They also tend to be lighter. They are also more susceptible to punctures, and you'll require a repair kit and spare inner tube on hand.
Mountain Buggy Core, Venicci Carbo and the Venicci Carbo lux are among our top 3-wheelers. Both of these buggies come with larger wheels that, according to MFM reviewer Kath, "perform really well on gravel tracks, grass and market town cobbles" and are able to easily go up and down kerbs. They also have a suspension system that in her words "smoothes out bumps with great efficiency".
Buggies with larger wheels can be quite wide and may struggle to fit into tight spaces. This can be an issue especially if you're using it to a jogger or you need to be able to get through narrow doorways when out and out and about. Fortunately, the majority of models come with small folding options that allow you to remove the front wheels to make compact storage.
Easy to Manoeuvre
A three-wheel buggy can be easier to maneuver with children. The way they are built ensures that the front wheels turn at a quick pace and are extremely easy to maneuver and are ideal for tricky terrain like cobbles, parks and bumpy pavements as well as dirt tracks.
MFM reviewer Kath tested a 3 wheeler with her newborn and toddler and wrote: "The Terrain was a delight to maneuver on the ground, with the swivel front wheel particularly useful. I was also amazed by how well it handled kerbs when using the hand-operated break. It was extremely stable when for descending or on a rough terrain."
The only downside to this amazing maneuverability is that the larger wheels of the 3 wheel buggy can sometimes make it difficult to fit into tight spaces. This is something to be aware of when your home is an urban area. If this is the case, a 4-wheeled buggy may be the better choice for you.
Bumper bar
Bumper bars are the ideal method to protect your little one from scrapes and bumps while out and about. They are quick and easy to put in and will make your child feel secure and safe while out on the town or taking on tough terrain.

The sling is stowed inside the frame it is not positioned on top like the seat that is modular. This puts the centre of gravity for your infant at the perfect height and also offers an excellent weight distribution, making it easier to push over curbs (it is much easier to push a stroller up and over than you may think). MFM reviewer Kath said it's ideal 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.
This bumper bar will make heads turn wherever it's used. It has a sophisticated and elegant design. It's available in a variety of finishes and colours to suit your style.

Comfort
A 3-wheel buggy is the best off-road vehicle for maneuverability and performance. With the perfect design and weight distribution, this type of buggy can change direction on a dime and be a breeze to steer with just one hand. Mountain Buggies are tested to the same rigorous global stability standards and tests as 4-wheel buggies.
The Sport's clever design places the fabric sling seat within the frame, instead of over it like modular seats. This means it has a lower center of gravity which means it's easier to push, has a less weighty curb-pop (you will not need to put in much effort to push the buggy's front end over a curb), and offers better balance and stability. And with the huge rear wheels that measure 16 inches and lockable swivel front wheels and tyres filled with air that require just a few pumps, you get a bump free ride over rough terrain, and a smoother more comfortable jog as well.

Kath who was our MFM reviewer, also loved the space of this buggy. There's a nimble large basket that's quite spacious for a buggy of this size. There's also an excellent pouch on the back unit, as well as two smaller mesh pockets underneath the hood to keep your phone and keys.
