Three Wheeled Buggies
If you're looking for a buggy to run around in or a compact stroller for the neighborhood, three-wheeled buggies provide great mobility. Their compact design makes it easy to maneuver even in tight spots.
If you are looking for a smooth ride on your baby, select models with 360deg front wheels that can swivel. However, they are susceptible to punctures, so be prepared with a repair kit.
Sturdy frame
New figures show that the three-wheeled buggies, that symbol of the noughties that were more expensive than common sense, are in rapid decline. They are being replaced by four-wheelers which can handle a wider variety of terrain, while still looking elegant and easy to push.
The general idea is that the bigger the wheels, the easier it will be for your buggy to deal with bumpy and rough pavements. three wheeler pushchairs , both front and rear enable you to maneuver and more stable when walking downhill or over difficult terrain.
MFM reviewer Kath tried this buggy out with a newborn and 3 year old and found it coped well with cobbles, grass rough pavements, dirt tracks and kerbs. Kath wrote "it is solid to push and is very stable when you're on rough terrain. Its tyres, which are inflatable and require to be pumped regularly, have built-in suspension. This was very comfortable for my children.
Another thing to think about is the size and shape. You want the seat to be large enough to allow 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 the parent to be facing one.
The Roma Atlas is a great alternative for off-road or wet walks. The buggy can be used as a one-person unit from birth, and then expands to take two children when your family grows. It is suitable for infants and toddlers from birth until age 4. It comes with a bumper, raincover, an improved 5-point harness, and a large cushioned seat. Storage options are also good, with a large basket and zip pockets on the hood and an attractive pouch on the rear of the seat unit.
Wheels with a larger diameter
Larger wheels give your buggy more stability while driving on rough terrain. This is especially beneficial for buggies that are off-road. They also make it easier to move the pushchair around tight spaces. Some three-wheeled buggies come with rotating wheels at the front to aid in maneuvering around tight corners. Others are designed to run and have fixed wheels that lock for increased speed and stability. This is also helpful if you bump 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 wheel pushchairs have air filled tyres which means they can handle different terrains and are far more flexible than 4-wheeler. They're also lighter. They are also more susceptible to punctures, so you will need to have a repair kit and spare inner tube 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 effortlessly go up and down kerbs. They also have a suspension system that in her words "smoothes out bumps very effectively".
The downside of having bigger wheels is that they make buggies quite large and make it difficult to get through narrow spaces. This can be a problem if you use it as a jogger, or need to fit through narrow doorways while out and about. Luckily, most models have compact folding options that allow you to take off the front wheels to create more compact storage.
Easy to maneuver
One of the primary benefits of a three-wheel buggy is that it is much easier to maneuver, especially with a child on the way. They are designed to ensure that the front wheels can turn on a dime, and are easy to maneuver, making them perfect for terrains that are difficult, such as cobblestones, parks and bumpy roads. dirt tracks.
MFM reviewer Kath tested a 3 wheeler with her toddler and newborn and stated: "The Terrain was a delight to maneuver on the terrain with the swivel rear wheel being particularly helpful. I was also awed by the way it handled the kerbs, particularly when using the brake operated by hand. It was extremely stable when in the downhills or on a rough terrain."
The only drawback of this amazing maneuverability is that the 3 wheel buggy's larger wheels do sometimes mean it has to struggle in tight spaces, something to be aware of if you live in a metropolitan region. If this is a problem then a 4-wheeled buggy could be the better option for you.

The fabric sling seat sits comfortably inside the frame instead of on top of it like modular seats do, providing the lower centre of gravity at the right height for your newborn and also providing excellent weight distribution for easy kerb pop (it takes less effort to push a buggy up and over a curb than you think). MFM reviewer Kath said it's excellent on cobbles and grass. It's also a good alternative for running, thanks to its tyres that are filled with air and a lockable swivel wheel.

With the perfect design and weight distribution, this style of buggy can change direction on a dime and be a breeze to steer with one hand.

But that's not the only reason to love this buggy - our MFM reviewer Kath was impressed by how spacious it is as well. There's a easily accessible, large basket that is surprisingly spacious for a buggy that's this big. There's also an excellent pouch on the back seat unit, as well as two smaller mesh pockets beneath the hood where you can keep your keys and phone.
