Three Wheeled Buggies
If you're looking for a buggy to run with or just a compact stroller for strolls around the neighborhood, three-wheeled buggies are great for mobility. Their compact design makes them easy to maneuver even in tight areas.
If you're looking for an easy ride in your baby, select 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
Figures have just been released revealing that the three-wheeled buggie - a symbol of the noughties of more money than sense - is in steep decline. They are being replaced by four-wheelers which can handle a wider variety of terrain, while also looking elegant and easy to push.
The general rule is that the bigger the wheels are, the easier it'll be for your buggy to cope with bumpy and rough 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 tested the buggy with a newborn and 3 year old and found it was able to withstand grass, cobbles rough pavements, dirt tracks and kerbs. She noted that it was solid to push, and extremely solid on rough terrain. The tyres, that are inflatable and require to be pumped up regularly and have a suspension built-in. It was extremely comfortable for my children.
The shape and size of the seat is another thing to consider. You'll want it to be large enough for your child's comfort and you will also want it to be able to recline so that they can lie flat. Some three-wheel buggies offer the option of reclining completely, while others allow an adult facing one.
A great option for those who want to tackle off-road and muddy walks is the Roma Atlas. This buggy is ideal for a single child as early as birth and can be modified to accommodate two children as your family grows. It is suitable for infants and toddlers from birth to age 4, and includes a bumper, raincover, an improved 5-point harness, and a big padded seat. Storage options are also good with a large basket with 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. They also make it easier to manoeuvre the pushchair in tight spaces. Some three-wheeled buggies feature swivel wheels on the front, which assist you in navigating tight corners. Others are designed for running and have fixed wheels that lock for increased speed and stability. This can also help in the event that you hit the roots of a tree or stray kerb as the front wheel will lift up to keep you from hitting it.
A majority of 3 wheeled pushchairs have air-filled tyres, which allows them to handle a wide range of terrains. They are also more flexible than 4 wheelers. They also tend to be lighter. They are also more susceptible to punctures, so you'll require a repair kit and spare inner tubes on hand.
Mountain Buggy Core, Venicci Carbo and Venicci Carbo Lux are among our top 3-wheelers. These buggies, as per MFM's Kath, have larger wheels that according to her "perform well on gravel roads, grass and market town cobbles", and can easily move up and down kerbs. They also come with a suspension system that in her words "smoothes out bumps extremely effectively".
The downside of having larger wheels is that they make some buggies quite wide and make it difficult to get through narrow spaces. This is a problem if you are using it as a jogger or have to squeeze through doorways that are narrow while out and about. The majority of models come with small folding options that permit you to take off the front wheels and store them more compactly.
Easy to manoeuvre
A three-wheeled buggy is easier to maneuver with a child. The way in which they are built means that the front wheels turn at a quick pace and are extremely maneuverable and are ideal for difficult terrains like cobbles, parks and bumpy pavements as well as dirt tracks.
MFM reviewer Kath tried the 3-wheeler with her toddler. she reported: "The Terrain is a delight to navigate in rough terrain. The swivel wheel in the front was particularly helpful." I was also awed by how well it dealt with kerbs using the hand-operated break. It was very stable for descending or on a rough terrain."
The only drawback to this incredible maneuverability is that the 3 wheel buggy's larger wheels do sometimes mean that it will struggle in tight spaces - something to keep in mind when you live in a city area. If this is an issue, a 4-wheeled buggy may be a better option for you.
Bumper bar
Bumper bars will protect your child from bumps and scrapes when out and out and about. They are quick and easy to put in and will make your child feel secure and safe when out in the city or tackling tough terrain.
Designed to complement the sleek lines of your Slim Twin stroller, this bumper bar is an upholstered and soft surface that provides a comfortable place for your child to hang onto during walks. The robust construction and sturdy design will ensure that your child is comfortable strolling around the town without fear of falling or leaning towards the side.
The sling seat is comfortably inside the frame instead of over it as modular seats, delivering the lowest centre of gravity at the ideal height for your newborn and also providing an excellent weight distribution to facilitate kerb pop (it takes much less effort to push the buggy over and up a curb than you think). MFM reviewer Kath said it's excellent on cobbles and grass. It's also a great alternative for running, thanks to its tyres that are filled with air and a locking swivel wheels.
With a chic and sophisticated look, this bumper bar is sure to draw attention wherever you go. Available in a variety of finishes and colors, it can be customized to suit your personal style. It features a simple, quick-release mechanism that makes it easy to remove and install the bumper bar as necessary. Furthermore the bar is easy to clean, and is made of sturdy materials that are easy to clean. This makes it an excellent choice for families who want a safe and stylish accessory for their stroller.
Comfort
A 3-wheel buggy offers the highest level of agility and performance when driving off road. 3 wheel pushchair of buggy is easy to steer and can turn on a dime with its perfect geometry engineering, weight, and distribution.
The clever design of the Sport places the fabric sling seat within the frame, not over it like modular seats. This means it has lower center of gravity which means it's more comfortable to push, has a lighter curb-pop (you will not need to exert much effort to push the buggy's nose over a curb) and provides more stability and balance. With its massive rear wheels that measure 16 inches with lockable swivel wheels on the front and tyres with air that require just a few pumps, you get a bump free ride over rough terrain and a smoother and more comfortable jog.

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