Three Wheeled Buggies
If you're looking for a buggy run around in or a stroller that can be used for strolls around the neighborhood, three-wheeled buggies provide great mobility. Their compact design makes it easy to maneuver, even in tight spaces.
If you want a smooth ride on your baby, select models with 360deg front wheels that swivel. However, they are prone to punctures, so make sure you are prepared with a repair kit.
Frame made of sturdy material
The latest figures have been released revealing that the three-wheeled vehicle - that noughties symbol of more money than wisdom - is in steep decline. Four-wheelers have replaced them, which are more versatile and easier to drive, while also looking fashionable.
The basic principle is that the larger the wheels are, the easier it'll be for your buggy to cope with bumpy and rough pavements. The larger wheels on both the front and back also makes it easier to maneuver and more stable when walking downhill or on difficult terrain.
MFM reviewer Kath tried the buggy with a newborn and 3 year old and found that it was able to withstand grass, cobbles, rough roads, dirt tracks, and kerbs. She said "it is sturdy to push and is very stable when traversing difficult terrain. Its tyres, which are inflated and require to be pumped up regularly and have a suspension built-in. This was extremely comfortable for my kids.
Another thing to take into consideration is the seat size and shape. You want the seat to be big enough to allow your child to feel at ease and to lie down. Certain three-wheel buggies have a full lie-flat option while others only allow for an adult facing one.
The Roma Atlas is a great alternative for off-road or muddy walks. This buggy is ideal for a single child as early as birth and can be modified to accommodate two children as your family expands. It is suitable for toddlers and infants from birth to age 4, and includes a bumper with a rain cover, an upgraded 5-point harness, and a big padded seat. Storage options are also a plus with a large basket and zip pockets on the hood and an attractive pouch at the rear of seat unit.
Larger wheels
Larger wheels give your buggy more stability when driving over rough terrain. This is perfect for off-road buggies. In addition, they allow you to maneuver the pushchair in tight spaces. Some three-wheeled buggies come with rotating wheels on the front, which help you navigate tight corners. Others are designed for running and have fixed wheels that lock to provide increased speed and stability. This can also help if you bump into an unintentional tree root or curb, since the front wheel can be lifted up slightly to prevent you from hitting it.
A lot of 3 wheeled pushchair s come with air-filled tyres that allow them to tackle a broad range of terrains. They are also more flexible than 4 wheelers. They are also lighter. However, they're prone to punctures and you'll need an repair kit, spare tube and pump in your bag.
Our top three-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 go up and down kerbs. They also come with a suspension system that in her words "smoothes out bumps extremely effectively".
The downside of having bigger wheels is that they can make some buggies quite wide and can struggle to fit through narrow spaces. This can be problematic if you intend to are using it as a jogger or have to squeeze through doorways that are narrow while on the move. Fortunately, the majority of models come with small folding options that let you remove the front wheels for more compact storage.
Easy to Manoeuvre
One of the main benefits to a three-wheeled buggy is that it can be much more maneuverable particularly with a child in the back. They are designed so that the front wheels rotate at a moment's notice, and are easy to navigate, making them ideal for difficult terrain like cobblestones, parks as well as bumpy roads and dirt tracks.
MFM reviewer Kath tried an all-wheeler with her toddler, and she reported: "The Terrain is a delight to navigate in rough terrain. The front swivel wheel was particularly helpful." I was also awed by how well it dealt with kerbs using the hand-operated break. It was extremely stable when for descending or on a rough terrain."
The only drawback of this incredible maneuverability is that the 3 wheel buggy's larger wheels sometimes mean it has to be difficult to maneuver in tight spaces - something to keep in mind if you live in a urban area. If this is the case, a 4-wheeled buggy may be a better option for you.
Bumper bar
Bumper bars will protect your child from bumps and scrapes when they are 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.
It is designed to complement the sleek lines of your Slim Twin stroller, this bumper bar has a soft and padded surface that provides a comfortable spot for your child to hang on to when walking. The sturdy construction and durable design will ensure that your child can enjoy a stroll without worrying about falling out of the buggy or leaning too far forward.
The fabric sling seat sits snug inside the frame instead of over it as modular seats, delivering the lower centre of gravity at the right height for your baby and also delivering great weight distribution for a simple kerb pop (it takes less effort to push a buggy up and over the curb than you think). MFM reviewer Kath found it coped really well with grass and cobbles and it's a good option for jogging with its lockable swivel wheel on the front and air filled tyres.
With a sophisticated and stylish design, this bumper bar will surely attract attention wherever you go. Available in a range of colours and finishes and designs, it can be tailored to match your style. 3 wheel pushchair has a simple, quick-release mechanism that makes it easy to remove and install the bumper bar whenever needed.

Comfort
A 3-wheel buggie offers the most maneuverability and performance when you go off road. With perfect design and engineering, as well as weight distribution this type of buggy can turn on a dime and be easy to steer with one hand. All Mountain Buggies meet the same rigorous stability standards and tests as 4-wheel buggies.
The sport's clever design puts the fabric sling seat within the frame, not over it like modular seats. This allows it to have a lower center of gravity which means it's more comfortable to push, has a less weighty curb-pop (you will not need to exert the same effort to raise the buggy's hood over a curb) and also provides better balance and stability. With the 16" rear wheels, the lockable front wheel, and air-filled tyres which allow for a smoother, more comfortable jogging.

There's also a handy pouch on the back seat unit, and 2 smaller mesh pockets underneath the hood, where you can keep your keys and phone.
