Three Wheeled Buggies
If you're seeking a buggy to run with or just a stroller that can be used for the neighborhood, three-wheeled buggies are great for mobility. Their compact design makes it easy to maneuver even in tight places.
For a smooth ride, go for a pram with air-filled tyres and look for models with a 360deg front swivel wheel. However, they are more prone to punctures, so make sure you are prepared with an repair kit.
Frame made of sturdy material
New figures show that three-wheeled buggies that were the symbol of the decade that were more expensive than common sense, are in a steep decline. They are being replaced by four-wheelers which can handle a wider variety of terrain, yet still look swanky and being easy to push.
The idea is that the bigger the wheels are, the easier it will be for your buggy to deal with rough ground and bumpy pavements. The larger wheels both rear and front allow you to move 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 was able to handle cobbles, grass, rough pavements, dirt tracks and kerbs. She said that it felt solid to push and very stable on difficult terrain. The tyres, which are inflatable and need to be pumped up occasionally, have built-in suspension. This was extremely comfortable for my children.
Another thing to consider is the seat size and shape. It is important for the seat to be large enough to allow your child to feel comfortable and to allow them to lie down. Some three-wheel buggies offer the option of reclining completely, while others will only allow a parent facing one.
The Roma Atlas is a great option for off-road and muddy walks. The buggy can be used as a single from birth and then adapts to take two children when your family expands. It is suitable for babies and toddlers up to age 4 and comes with a bumper bar, raincover, improved 5-point harness, and a large padded seat unit. The storage options are great as well, with a decent-sized basket, zip pockets on the hood, and an attractive pouch at the back of the seat unit.
Wheels with a larger diameter
Larger wheels mean that your buggy will be more stable on rough terrain - ideal for buggies designed for off-road use. They also allow you to move the pushchair around tight spaces. Many three wheeled buggies have rotating front wheels that assist you in maneuvering around corners with ease, whereas others are specifically designed for running and have fixed front wheels that lock to increase the speed and stability at which they can be driven. This also helps when you crash into an unintentional tree root or kerb as the front wheel can be lifted up to keep you from hitting it.
A majority of 3 wheeled pushchairs have air-filled tyres that 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 susceptible to punctures so you'll need to have a repair kit, spare inner tube and pump handy.
Our top 3-wheelers include the Mountain Buggy Core and Venicci Carbo Lux. Both of these buggies have larger wheels that, according to MFM reviewer Kath, "perform really well on grass, gravel tracks and market town cobbles" and are able to easily move up and down kerbs. They also have a suspension system which according to her "smoothes out bumps extremely effectively".
The drawback of having larger wheels is that they make some buggies quite broad and make it difficult to get through narrow spaces. This is an issue especially if you're using it to a jogger or to to get through doors that are narrow when out and out and about. Fortunately, many models come with small folding options that allow you to take off the front wheels to make compact storage.
Easy to maneuver
One of the main benefits to a three wheel buggy is that it's much easier to maneuver especially with a child in the back. They are designed to ensure that the front wheels rotate at a moment's notice, and are easy to maneuver, making them perfect for difficult terrain like parks, cobblestones, bumpy roads, and dirt tracks.
MFM reviewer Kath tried out a three-wheeler with her toddler and newborn and stated: "The Terrain was a pleasure to navigate over the rough terrain with the swivel rear wheel particularly useful. I was also amazed by how well it handled kerbs when using the hand-operated break. I found it extremely stable when going downhill or over uneven ground."
The only drawback of this incredible mobility is that the 3 wheel buggy 's larger wheels do sometimes mean that it can struggle in tight spaces, something to be aware of if you live in a urban area. If this is a problem then a four-wheeled buggy might be the better choice for you.
Bumper bar
Bumper bars are the ideal method to protect your little one from scrapes and bumps while out and out and about. They are simple and quick to put in and will make your child feel secure and safe while out on the town or taking on tough terrain.
This bumper bar was designed to complement the sleek lines of the sleek lines of your Slim Twin stroller. It features a soft, padded surface that provides a comfortable place for your child to hold onto during walks. The durable construction and sturdy design will ensure that your child can enjoy a stroll without having to worry about falling out of the buggy or leaning too far in the direction of.
The sling seat is in the frame, snugly rather than on top of it like modular seats, delivering the lower centre of gravity at the right height for your infant and also delivering great weight distribution for a simple kerb pop (it takes less effort to push the buggy over and up the curb than you think). MFM reviewer Kath found it coped really well with grass and cobbles and is a great choice for jogging due to its lockable swivel front wheel that can be locked and air filled tyres.
This bumper bar is sure to attract attention wherever it's utilized. It has a classy and stylish design.

Kath the MFM reviewer, also loved the space of this buggy. There's a easily accessible large, spacious basket that's quite spacious for a buggy of this size. Additionally, there's a handy pouch on the back of the unit, and two smaller mesh pockets underneath the hood to keep your keys and phone.
