Three Wheeled Buggies

Whether you're looking for a buggy to run around in or a compact stroller for strolls around the neighborhood, three-wheeled buggies offer great mobility. Their compact design makes it easy to maneuver, even in tight spots.

For a smooth ride, go for a pram fitted with air-filled tyres. Also, look for models with a 360deg front swivel wheel. They are prone, however, to punctures. Make sure you have a repair set.

Frame made of sturdy material

New data show that three-wheeled buggies, that symbol of the decade that were more expensive than common sense, are in steep decline. Four-wheelers are replacing them, and are more versatile and easy to drive and look elegant.

The general rule is that the bigger the wheels, the easier it will be for your buggy to cope with rough ground and bumpy pavements. With larger wheels front and back makes it much easier to manoeuvre and more stable when walking downhill or over difficult terrain.

MFM reviewer Kath tried the buggy with a newborn as well as a 3 wheel bassinet stroller year old and found it coped well with cobbles, grass rough roads, dirt tracks and kerbs. She said that it felt solid to push and extremely solid on rough terrain. Its tyres, which are inflatable and need to be pumped up occasionally and have a suspension built-in. This was very comfortable for my children.

Another thing to consider is the seat size and shape. It should be large enough for your child's comfort. You will also require it to recline for them to lie flat. Certain three-wheel buggies have an option to lie flat completely while others allow an adult facing one.

A great option for those who want to tackle off-road or muddy walks is the Roma Atlas. It can be used as a one-person unit from birth, and then expands to accommodate two children as your family expands. It is suitable for toddlers and infants from birth until age 4, and includes a bumper and raincover, a new 5-point harness, and a huge cushioned seat. Storage options are also good with a large storage basket, zip pockets on the hood and an extra pouch on the rear of the seat unit.

Larger wheels

Larger wheels means that your buggy will have more stability on rough terrain - perfect for buggies that are off-road. They also make it easier to navigate the pushchair through tight spaces. Many three wheeled buggies - you can find out more, have swivel front wheels to help you navigate around tight corners, while others are designed for running and have fixed front wheels that lock to increase the speed and stability at the speed at which they can be pushed. This is also useful if you bump against a tree or a kerb. The front wheel will be lifted slightly to prevent hitting it.

A lot of 3 wheel stroller with seat 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 prone to punctures so you'll need an repair kit, spare inner tube and pump in your bag.

Our top 3-wheelers include the Mountain Buggy Core and Venicci Carbo Lux. These buggies, according to MFM's Kath, have larger wheels, which she claims "perform well on grass, gravel roads and market town cobbles" and are able to go up or down kerbs. The buggies also come with suspension that Kath says "smooths out bumps with great efficiency".

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 problematic if you intend to are using it as a jogger or have to squeeze through doorways that are narrow while out and about. Luckily, most models have compact folding options that let you take off the front wheels to create more compact storage.

Easy to manoeuvre

One of the main benefits of a three-wheel buggy is that it is much easier to maneuver particularly with a child in the back. The way they are built ensures that the front wheels spin at a whim and are extremely maneuverable which makes them perfect for difficult terrains such as parks, cobbles, bumpy pavements and dirt tracks.

MFM reviewer Kath tried the 3-wheeler with her toddler. she wrote: "The Terrain is a delight to navigate on rough terrain. The swivel wheel front was particularly useful." I was also awed by the way it handled kerbs, especially when using the hand-operated brake. I found it to be extremely stable when going downhill or on uneven ground."

The only drawback to this great maneuverability is that the three wheel buggy's bigger wheels sometimes mean that it can struggle in tight spaces - something to consider especially if you live in a city area. If this is an issue then a 4-wheeler might be a better option for you.

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