Are Three Wheeled Buggies The Most Effective Thing That Ever Was?
Three Wheeled Buggies

Whether you're seeking a buggy to jog with or just a compact stroller for neighbourhood walks, three wheeled buggies are great for mobility. Their compact design makes them easy to manoeuvre even in tight spaces.

If you are looking for a smooth ride on your baby, opt for models with 360deg front wheels that can swivel. However, they are more prone to punctures, so make sure you are prepared with an repair kit.

Sturdy frame

New data show that three-wheeled buggies that were the emblem of the noughties, which had more money than common sense, are in a steep decline. Four-wheelers are replacing them, and are more versatile and easy to drive and look elegant.

The larger the wheels are the more your buggy will be able to deal with uneven surfaces and bumpy pavements. With larger wheels front and back makes it easier to maneuver and more stable when walking downhill or on difficult terrain.

MFM reviewer Kath tested the buggy with a newborn as well as a 3 year old and found it was able to handle cobbles, grass rough roads, dirt tracks, and kerbs. Kath wrote "it feels sturdy to push and very solid when traversing difficult terrain. Its tyres (which are inflatable so need periodic pumping) come with suspension built-in which was extremely comfortable for my children.

Another thing to think about is the size of the seat 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 a lie-flat option that allows the child to face you, while other buggies only permit a parent-facing option.

The Roma Atlas is a great option for off-road and walking in muddy areas. The buggy can be used as a single from birth, and then expands to accommodate two children as your family grows. It is suitable for toddlers and infants from birth until age 4. It comes with a bumper with a rain cover, an upgraded 5-point harness, and a large padded seat. Storage options are also good with a large storage basket with zip pockets on the hood and an extra pouch at the rear of seat unit.

Larger wheels

Larger wheels give your buggy more stability while driving over rough terrain. This is perfect for buggies designed for off-road use. They also help you maneuver the pushchair in tight spaces. Some three-wheeled buggies feature wheels that swivel at the front to assist you in navigating tight corners. Others are designed for running and have fixed wheels that lock for greater speed and stability. This can also help if you bump into an unintentional tree root or kerb as the front wheel will rise up to keep 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 are also lighter. However, they are prone to punctures so you'll need an repair kit, spare inner tube and pump handy.

Our top three-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. The buggies also have a suspension that, according to Kath "smooths out bumps very effectively".

Buggies with larger wheels may be quite wide, and may struggle to fit into narrow spaces. This can be an issue especially if you're using it to an exercise bike or to to get through doors that are narrow when out and about. Luckily, most models have small folding options that allow you to remove the front wheels for more compact storage.

Easy to manoeuvre

A three-wheeler can be easier to maneuver with a child. The way they are built ensures that the front wheels turn at a whim and are extremely maneuverable which makes them perfect for tricky terrain such as parks, cobbles or bumpy pavements, as well as dirt tracks.

3 wheel strollers tested a 3 wheeler with her toddler and newborn and stated: "The Terrain was a pleasure to navigate over the rough terrain with the swivel rear wheel being particularly helpful. I was also awed by how well it dealt with kerbs using the hand-operated break. It was extremely stable when in the downhills or on uneven terrain."

The only downside of this amazing maneuverability is that the 3 wheel buggy's bigger wheels sometimes mean that it will struggle in tight spaces, something to be aware of if you live in a metropolitan region. If this is a problem then a four-wheeled buggy might be a better option for you.

Bumper bar

Bumper bars will protect your child from bumps and scrapes while out and about. They are easy and quick to install and make your child feel safe and secure while out on the town or tackling tough terrain.

This bumper bar was designed to match the sleek lines of the sleek lines of your Slim Twin stroller. It has a soft, cushioned surface to provide a comfortable place for your child to grab onto while walking. The robust construction and sturdy design will ensure that your child is comfortable strolling through the city without fear of falling or leaning towards the side.


The sling seat is snug inside the frame instead of sitting on top like modular seats do, providing the lowest center of gravity at the right height for your newborn and also delivering great weight distribution for a simple kerb pop (it takes much less effort to push the buggy up and over a curb than you think). MFM reviewer Kath found it to be able to deal well with cobbles and grass and is a great choice for jogging thanks to its lockable swivel front wheel and air filled tyres.

This bumper bar is sure to attract attention wherever it's used. It has a classy and stylish look. It's available in a variety of colours and finishes to match your personal style. The bumper bar can be easily removed and put in place with a quick-release mechanism. The bumper bar is easy to clean, as it is made of sturdy materials. This makes it a good option for families seeking a stylish and safe stroller accessory.

Comfort

A 3-wheel buggy is the best off-road vehicle to maneuver and performance. This style of buggy is easy to steer and can turn at a moment's notice due to its perfect geometry engineering, weight, and distribution.

The Sport's clever design places the fabric sling seat inside the frame, not sitting on top as modular seats. This lets it have lower center of gravity and makes it easier to push, has a less weighty curb-pop (you will not need to exert as much effort to lift the buggy's hood over a curb) and provides greater stability and balance. And with the huge rear wheels measuring 16 inches, lockable swivel front wheel and tyres filled with air that require just a few pumps, you get an unhurried ride on rough terrain, and a smoother more comfortable jog too.

The only stroller that is all-terrain in our range that comes with a parent-facing seat that can also accommodate the car seat or carrycot, you are able to make sure your family is prepared for every adventure starting from the first day and for years to be!

But that's not the only reason to adore this buggy - our MFM reviewer Kath was amazed by how big it is as well. There's a nimble large, spacious basket that's surprisingly spacious for a buggy of this size. Additionally, there's a handy pouch on the back unit, as well as two smaller mesh pockets under the hood where you can keep your phone and keys.
