Three Wheeled Buggies

Three-wheeled buggies are ideal for walking around the neighborhood or running. Their compact design makes it easy to maneuver, even in tight spots.

If you want an easy ride in your baby, opt for models with 360deg front wheels that can 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 had more money than common sense, are in steep decline. Four-wheelers have replaced them, and are more flexible and simple to drive, while also looking fashionable.

The larger the wheels are the better your buggy can deal with bumpy surfaces and uneven pavements. Having larger wheels both front and back makes it much easier to maneuver and more stable when walking downhill or over difficult terrain.

MFM reviewer Kath tested the buggy with a newborn and a 3 year old and found that it coped well with grass, cobbles rough pavements, dirt tracks and kerbs. Kath said that "it is sturdy to push and extremely solid when you're on rough terrain. The tyres, that are inflatable and require to be pumped up occasionally, have built-in suspension. This was very comfortable for my children.

The size and shape of the seat is a further factor to consider. The seat should be large enough for your child to be at ease and to lie down. Some three-wheel buggies will have a full lie-flat option while others will only allow an adult facing one.

An excellent option for taking on off-road and muddy walks is the Roma Atlas. This buggy is suitable for a single child starting from birth, and can be adapted to accommodate two children as your family grows. It is suitable for toddlers and infants from birth to age 4 and comes with a bumper, raincover, an improved 5-point harness, and a big cushioned seat. Storage options are also good with a large basket and zip pockets on the hood and an extra pouch at the rear of seat unit.

Wheels with a larger diameter

Larger wheels give your buggy greater stability when driving over rough terrain. This is ideal for buggies designed for off-road use. They also allow you to maneuver the buggy through tight spaces. Many three wheeled buggies have rotating front wheels that aid you in maneuvering around tight corners, while others are designed for running and have fixed front wheels that lock to increase the speed and stability with the speed at which they can be pushed. This is also helpful in the event that you hit a tree root or stray kerb as the front wheel will rise up to keep you from hitting it.

Many 3 wheel pushchairs feature air filled tyres which means they are able to handle a variety of terrains and are more flexible than four wheelers. They are also lighter. However, they're prone to punctures and you'll need to have an repair kit, spare tube, and pump on hand.

Our top 3-wheelers include the Mountain Buggy Core and Venicci Carbo Lux. Both of these buggies have larger wheels that, as per MFM reviewer Kath, "perform really well on grass, gravel tracks and market town cobbles" and are able to easily climb and descend kerbs. They also come with a suspension system that, in her words "smoothes out bumps with great efficiency".

Buggies with larger wheels may be quite large, and they may be a challenge to fit into tight spaces. This is problematic if you intend to use it for jogging 3 wheel stroller or have to squeeze through narrow doorways while traveling. Most models come with compact folding options that let you remove the front wheels and store them more compactly.

Easy to maneuver

One of the main benefits to a three-wheeled buggy is that it can be much easier to maneuver, especially with a child in tow. The way in which they are built ensures that the front wheels rotate on a dime and are really maneuverable which makes them perfect for tricky terrain such as parks, cobbles, bumpy pavements and dirt tracks.

MFM reviewer Kath tested a 3 wheeler with her infant and toddler and said: "The Terrain was a delight to maneuver on the ground with the swivel rear wheel being particularly helpful. I was also impressed with the way it dealt with kerbs using the hand-operated break. I found it to be extremely stable when going downhill or over uneven terrain."

The only drawback of this amazing maneuverability is that the 3 wheel buggy's larger wheels sometimes mean that it will struggle in tight spaces - something to keep in mind especially if you live in a city region. If this is a problem, a 4-wheel buggy might be a better choice for you.

Bumper bar

Bumper bars are the perfect method to shield your little one from scrapes and bumps when out and about. They are quick and easy to put up and help your child feel secure and safe while out on the town or tackling tough terrain.

MFM reviewer Kath said it was ideal on cobbles and grass. It's also a good option for running with its air-filled tyres as well as a locking swivel wheels.

Kath, our MFM reviewer, also appreciated the space of the buggy. There's a big easily accessible basket that's quite spacious for such a small buggy, plus there's an excellent zip-up pouch at the best 3 wheel stroller back of the seat and two smaller mesh pockets in the hood to keep your phone and keys.
