Could Three Wheeled Buggies Be The Answer For 2023's Challenges?
Three Wheeled Buggies

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

If you are looking for a smooth ride with your baby, opt for models with 360deg front wheels with swivel. However, they are prone to punctures, so be prepared with a repair kit.

Frame made of sturdy material

New figures show that three-wheeled buggies, that symbol of the decade that had more money than common sense, are in rapid decline. Four-wheelers have replaced them, which are more versatile and easier to drive, while also looking elegant.

The idea 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 on both the front and back makes it much easier to maneuver and more stable when walking downhill or on rough terrain.

MFM reviewer Kath tested the buggy with a newborn and 3 year old and found it coped well with cobbles, grass rough roads, dirt tracks and kerbs. Kath wrote "it is sturdy to push and is very stable when you're on rough terrain. The tyres, that are inflatable and need to be pumped up occasionally they have suspension built-in. This was extremely comfortable for my kids.

Another thing to think about is the size of the seat and shape. It should be large enough for your child's comfort. You will also want it to be able to recline for them to lie flat. Certain three-wheel buggies come with the option of lying flat that allows your child to lie flat and face you, while other buggies only allow a face-to-parent one.

An excellent option for taking on off-road and muddy trails is the Roma Atlas. This buggy is ideal for a single child starting from birth, and can be adapted to accommodate two children as 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 inside the hood and an easy-to-access pouch on the rear of the seat unit.

Wheels with a larger diameter

Larger wheels will give your buggy more stability when driving over rough terrain. This is especially beneficial for off-road buggies. 3 wheeled buggies help you navigate the pushchair through tight spaces. Many three wheeled buggies feature swivel front wheels to help you navigate around corners with ease, whereas others are designed for running and come with fixed front wheels that lock to improve the speed and stability with which they can be driven. This is also helpful in the event that you hit a tree root or stray curb, since the front wheel can be lifted up slightly to prevent you from hitting it.

Many 3 wheel pushchairs feature air-filled tyres, which means they can handle many different terrains and are much more flexible than four wheelers. They also tend to be lighter. However, they are prone to punctures, so you'll need an repair kit, spare tube and pump in your bag.

Mountain Buggy Core, Venicci Carbo and the Venicci Carbo lux are among our top 3-wheelers. Both of these buggies come with larger wheels that, as per 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 come with a suspension system that in her words "smoothes out bumps with great efficiency".

Buggies with bigger wheels can be quite large, and can be difficult to fit into tight spaces. This is an issue if you plan to are using it as a jogger or have to squeeze through narrow doorways while traveling. Fortunately, the majority of models come with small folding options that let you take off the front wheels for more compact storage.

Easy to manoeuvre

A three-wheeled buggy is easier to maneuver with a child. The way in which they are constructed means that the front wheels rotate at a quick pace and are incredibly easy to manoeuvre which makes them perfect for tricky terrain like cobbles, parks or 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 on rough terrain. The swivel wheel front was especially useful." I was also impressed with how well it handled kerbs with the hand-operated break. It was extremely stable when for descending or on uneven terrain."

The only drawback to this great maneuverability, is that the larger wheels of the 3 wheel buggy can sometimes make it difficult to squeeze into tight spaces. This is something to be aware of when your home is a city. If this is the case, a 4-wheeled buggy may be a better option for you.

Bumper bar

Bumper bars are the ideal method to protect your child from scrapes and bumps while out and about. They are easy to put in place and will help your child feel safe and secure out and out and about.

This bumper bar is designed to match the sleek lines of your Slim Twin stroller. It features a soft, padded surface that provides an ideal place for your child to grasp onto while walking. The sturdy construction and sturdy design will ensure that your child will be comfortable strolling around the town without worrying about falling or leaning towards the side.

The sling seat made of fabric sits in the frame, snugly as opposed to on top of it like modular seats do, providing the lower centre of gravity at the ideal height for your baby and also delivering great weight distribution for a simple kerb pop (it requires less effort to push the buggy over and up a curb than you think). MFM reviewer Kath said it's ideal on cobbles and grass. It's also a great alternative for running, thanks to its air-filled tyres and locking swivel wheels.

With a stylish and sophisticated appearance, this bumper bar is sure to draw attention wherever you go. It's available in a range of colours and finishes to match your style. The bumper bar is easily removed and put in place by a quick-release mechanism. The bumper bar is also easy to clean, as it is constructed from strong materials. This makes it an excellent choice for families looking for an elegant and safe stroller accessory.

Comfort

A 3-wheel buggy is the ideal off-road vehicle for maneuverability and performance. With perfect design and engineering, as well as weight distribution this type of buggy can turn on a dime and be easy to steer using just one hand; and all Mountain Buggies pass the same rigorous global 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, not sitting on top as modular seats. This lets it have a lower center of gravity which means it's more comfortable to push, has a lighter curb-pop (you won't need to put in much effort to push the buggy's front end over the curb) and also provides better balance and stability. With 16" rear wheels, the lockable front wheel, and air-filled tyres which allow for an easier, more comfortable jogging.

There's a easily accessible large, spacious basket that's surprising spacious for a vehicle that's this big. There's also a handy pouch on the back unit, and 2 smaller mesh pockets underneath the hood to keep your keys and phone.
