Three Wheeled Buggies
Three-wheeled buggies are great for strolling around the neighborhood or jogging. Their compact design makes them easy to manoeuvre, even in tight spaces.
If you're looking for a smooth ride on your baby, opt for models with 360deg front wheels that swivel. They are prone, however to punctures. Make sure you have an repair kit.
Sturdy frame
New figures show that three-wheeled buggies, that symbol of the noughties that were more expensive than common sense, are in a steep decline. Four-wheelers have replaced them, and are more versatile and easier to drive, while also looking elegant.
The principle is that the larger the wheels, the easier it will be for your buggy to deal with bumpy and rough pavements. The larger wheels on both the front and back makes it easier to maneuver and more stable when walking downhill or over difficult terrain.
MFM reviewer Kath tried the buggy out with the newborn baby and a toddler and found it very durable. It was able to handle grass, cobbles and rough pavements as well as dirt tracks and kerbs. Kath said that "it feels sturdy to push and very solid when traversing difficult terrain. The tyres, which are inflatable and require to be pumped up occasionally, have built-in suspension. This was extremely comfortable for my kids.
The shape and size of the seat is a further factor to think about. It is important for the seat to be big enough for your child to feel comfortable and allow them to lie down. Some three-wheel buggies have the option of lying flat, which allows your child to lie flat and face you, while others only allow a parent-facing one.
A great option for those who want to tackle off-road or muddy walks is the Roma Atlas. This buggy is ideal for a single child from birth, and can be adapted to accommodate two children as your family expands. It is suitable for babies and toddlers until 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 basket with zip pockets on the hood, and an attractive pouch at the rear of seat unit.
Larger wheels
Larger wheels will give your buggy more stability while driving over rough terrain. This is especially beneficial for off-road buggies. They also make it easier to move the pushchair around tight spaces. Certain three-wheeled buggies have wheels that swivel on the front, which aid in maneuvering around tight corners. Others are designed for running and have fixed wheels that lock for greater speed and stability. This also helps when you crash into a tree root or stray curb, since the front wheel can be lifted up to keep you from hitting it.
A lot of 3 wheeled pushchairs come with air-filled tyres which allow them to navigate a wide range of terrains. They are also more flexible than 4 wheelers. They also tend to be lighter. However, they're susceptible to punctures and you'll need to have a repair kit, spare inner tube and pump handy.
Our top three-wheelers include the Mountain Buggy Core and Venicci Carbo Lux. Both of these buggies have larger wheels that, according to MFM reviewer Kath, "perform really well on gravel tracks, grass and market town cobbles" and can easily go up and down kerbs. They also come with a suspension system that, in her words "smoothes out bumps very effectively".
Buggies with larger wheels may be quite large, and they may be a challenge to fit into narrow spaces. This can be an issue when you're using it for a jogger or you need to to get through narrow doorways when out and out and about. Many models have compact folding options that permit you to take off the front wheels and store them more compactly.
Easy to Manoeuvre
One of the primary benefits to a three-wheeled buggy is that it's much more maneuverable, especially with a child in the back. They are designed so that the front wheels can rotate at a moment's notice, and are easy to maneuver, making them perfect for difficult terrain like cobblestones, parks and bumpy roads. 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 with the swivel rear wheel being especially helpful. I was also amazed by how well it handled kerbs when using the hand-operated break. I found it extremely stable when driving downhill or over uneven terrain."
The only drawback of this great maneuverability is that the 3 wheel buggy 's larger wheels sometimes mean that it will be difficult to maneuver in tight spaces - something to be aware of especially if you live in a metropolitan region. If this is an issue then a 4-wheel buggy may be a better choice for you.
Bumper bar
Bumper bars are the ideal method to protect your child 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 whilst out on the town or taking on tough terrain.
This bumper bar is designed to complement the sleek lines of the sleek lines of your Slim Twin stroller. It features a soft, padded surface that provides a comfortable place for your child to grab onto during walks. The sturdy construction and durable design will ensure that your child will be capable of enjoying a stroll around the town without having to worry about falling or leaning forward.
The sling seat is snug inside the frame rather than sitting on top like modular seats, delivering the lower centre of gravity at the appropriate height for your newborn and also providing an excellent weight distribution to facilitate kerb pop (it takes less effort to push a buggy up and over a curb than you might think). MFM reviewer Kath said it's excellent on cobbles and grass. It's also a good option for running thanks to its air-filled tyres as well as a the lockable swivel wheel.
This bumper bar is sure to make heads turn wherever it's utilized. It has a classy and stylish look. Available in a variety of finishes and colours, it can be customized to suit your personal style. The bumper bar can be easily removed and put in place by a quick-release mechanism. The bumper bar is easy to clean since it is constructed from strong materials. This makes it an excellent option for families looking for a safe and stylish accessory for their stroller.

Kath who was our MFM reviewer, also appreciated the spaciousness of the buggy. There's an easily accessible large, spacious basket that's quite spacious for a buggy that's this big. Additionally, there's a handy pouch on the back seat unit, and two smaller mesh pockets underneath the hood where you can keep your keys and phone.
