Three Wheeled Buggies

Whether you're looking for a buggy run with or just a stroller that can be used for neighbourhood walks, three wheeled buggies provide great mobility. Their compact design makes them easy to manoeuvre, even in tight spaces.

If you are looking for an easy ride in your pram, choose models with 360deg front wheels that swivel. However, they are prone to punctures so be prepared with an repair kit.

Frame made of sturdy material

Figures have just been released showing that the three wheeler pushchair-wheeled buggie - a symbol of the noughties of more money than sanity - is in steep decline. Four-wheelers have replaced them, which are more flexible and simple to drive, while also looking elegant.

The bigger the wheels are the better your buggy will cope with bumpy and uneven pavements. The larger wheels both rear and front allow you to maneuver and more stable when walking downhill or on difficult terrain.

MFM reviewer Kath tested this buggy with the newborn baby and a toddler and found it to be extremely robust. It was able to handle grass, cobbles and rough pavements as well as dirt tracks and kerbs. Kath said it felt solid to push, and very solid on difficult terrain. Its tyres (which are inflatable so need occasionally pumping) come with suspension built-in, which was very comfortable for my kids.

The size and shape of the seat is another aspect to think about. It should be large enough for your child's comfort. You will also require it to recline for them to lie flat. Some three-wheel buggies will have the option of reclining completely, while others will only allow the parent to be facing one.

A great choice for tackling off-road and muddy trails is the Roma Atlas. This buggy is ideal for a single child starting from birth and can be adjusted to accommodate two children as your family expands. It is suitable for infants and toddlers from birth to age 4, and includes a bumper with a rain cover, an upgraded 5-point harness, and a huge cushioned seat. Storage options are also great with a large basket, zip pockets on the hood, and a handy pouch on the rear of the seat unit.

Larger wheels

Larger wheels give your buggy greater stability when driving over rough terrain. This is ideal for off-road buggies. Additionally, they make it easier to manoeuvre the pushchair in tight spaces. Some three-wheeled buggies feature swivel wheels at the front to help you navigate tight corners. Others are designed for running and have fixed wheels that lock for greater speed and stability. This is also helpful when you crash into a tree root or stray kerb as the front wheel will rise up a bit to prevent you from hitting it.

Many 3 wheel pushchairs feature air-filled tyres, which means they are able to handle different terrains and are far more adaptable than 4-wheelers. They are also lighter. They are more prone to punctures, so you will need to have repair kits and an spare inner tube on hand.

Our top 3 wheeler buggy-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 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 extremely effectively".

The downside of having bigger wheels is that they can make buggies quite large and make it difficult to get through narrow spaces. This can be a problem if you use it for jogging or you need to get through narrow doorways while traveling. Luckily, most models have small folding options that allow you to remove the front wheels to create more compact storage.

Easy to Manoeuvre

One of the primary benefits to a three-wheeled buggy is that it's much easier to maneuver particularly with a child in tow. The way in which they are constructed means that the front wheels turn at a whim and are extremely easy to manoeuvre, making them ideal for difficult terrain like cobbles, parks or bumpy pavements, as well as dirt tracks.

MFM reviewer Kath tried a 3-wheeler with her newborn and toddler and stated: "The Terrain was a pleasure to navigate over the rough terrain, with the swivel front wheel being especially helpful. I was also impressed with how well it handled kerbs with the hand-operated break. I found it to be extremely steady when I was driving downhill or over uneven ground."

The only downside of this great maneuverability is that the lightest 3 wheel stroller wheel buggy's larger wheels sometimes mean it has to struggle in tight spaces, something to be aware of if you live in a city area. If this is an issue then a 4-wheel buggy may be a better option for you.

Bumper bar

Bumper bars can shield 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 whilst out on the town or taking on tough terrain.

Created to match the sleek lines of your Slim Twin stroller, this bumper bar has a soft and cushioned surface that provides an ideal place for your child to hang on to when walking. The robust construction and durable design will ensure that your child will be comfortable strolling around town without fear of falling or leaning forward.

The sling seat made of fabric sits in the frame, snugly rather than sitting on top like modular seats, delivering the lowest centre of gravity at the right height for your infant and also delivering excellent weight distribution for easy kerb pop (it takes much less effort to push the buggy up and over a curb than you think). MFM reviewer Kath said it was great on grass and cobbles. It's also a good alternative for running, thanks to its tyres that are filled with air and a the lockable swivel wheel.

This bumper bar will attract attention wherever it's used. It has a classy and stylish design. It's available in a variety of finishes and colors to fit your style. It has a simple, quick-release mechanism that makes it simple to install and remove the bumper bar as necessary. The bumper bar is also easy to clean since it is constructed from durable materials. This makes it a good option for families seeking an elegant and safe stroller accessory.

Comfort

A 3 wheel bassinet stroller-wheel buggie offers the best in maneuverability and performance when going off road. With the perfect design and weight distribution, this style of buggy can turn on a dime and be easy to steer with one hand. Mountain Buggies meet the same rigorous stability standards and tests as buggies with four wheels.

The clever design of the Sport places the sling seat made of fabric inside the frame, rather than on top like modular seats. This means it has a lower center of gravity and makes it more comfortable to push, has a lighter curb-pop (you won't need to exert as much effort to lift the buggy's hood over a curb) and provides greater stability and balance. With the massive rear wheels that measure 16 inches and lockable swivel front wheels and tyres with air that require only occasional pumping to give you smooth, bump-free rides over rough terrain and a smoother, more comfortable jog.

The only all-terrain stroller in our collection that has an adult-facing seat that can also accommodate a car seat or carrycot, you can future-proof your family to enjoy every adventure from the very first day and for years to come!

It's not the only reason you should love this buggy Our MFM reviewer Kath loved how spacious it is, too. There's a easily accessible, large basket that is surprising spacious for a vehicle that's this big. Additionally, there's a handy pouch on the back of the unit, and 2 smaller mesh pockets underneath the hood, where you can keep your keys and phone.
