Three Wheeled Buggies

Three-wheeled buggies are great for strolling around the neighborhood or jogging. Their compact design makes it easy to maneuver even in tight spots.

If you want a smooth ride with your pram, choose models with 360deg front wheels with swivel. However, they are susceptible to punctures, so be prepared with an repair kit.

Sturdy frame

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

The bigger the wheels are, the more your buggy will be able to deal with uneven surfaces and bumpy pavements. The larger wheels, both front and rear enable you to maneuver and more stable when walking downhill or in difficult terrain.

MFM reviewer Kath tried the buggy out with an infant as well as a child who was lightweight 3 wheel stroller years old and found it extremely sturdy. It was able to handle cobbles, grass and rough pavements as well as dirt tracks and kerbs. She noted that it was solid to push, and very stable on difficult terrain. Its tyres (which are inflatable, so require periodic pumping) come with suspension built-in which was extremely comfortable for my kids.

The shape and size of the seat is a further factor to think about. It is important for the seat to be large enough for your child to be comfortable and allow them to lie down. Certain three-wheel buggies come with the option of lying flat, which allows your child to lie flat and face you, while other buggies only allow a face-to-parent one.

A great option for those who want to tackle off-road or muddy walks is the Roma Atlas. This buggy is ideal for a single child from birth, and can be adapted to accommodate two children as 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 padded seat. The storage options are excellent as well, with a decent-sized basket, zip pockets inside the hood and an easy-to-access pouch on the back of the seat unit.

Larger wheels

Larger wheels will give your buggy more stability when driving on rough terrain. This is especially beneficial for buggies designed for off-road use. Additionally, they make it easier to manoeuvre the pushchair in tight spaces. Many three wheeled buggies have the front wheels that swivel to help you navigate around corners with ease, whereas others are specifically designed for running and have fixed front wheels that lock to increase the speed and stability with which they can be pushed. This is also helpful when you crash into a tree root or stray road, as the front wheel will rise up a bit to prevent you from hitting it.

Many 3 wheel pushchairs feature air filled tyres which means they can be used on a variety of terrains and are much more flexible than 4-wheeler. They are also lighter. They are prone to punctures, and you'll need to have repair kits and an spare inner tubes on hand.

Some of our favourite lightest 3 wheel stroller-wheelers include the Mountain Buggy Core and Venicci Carbo Lux. These buggies, as per MFM's Kath, have larger wheels that, she says "perform well on gravel roads, grass and market town cobbles", and can easily climb or descend kerbs. They also come with a suspension system that in her words "smoothes out bumps extremely effectively".

Buggies with bigger wheels can be quite wide, and can be difficult to fit into narrow spaces. This is an issue if you're using it as an exercise bike or to be able to get through doorways that are narrow when you're out and about. Most models come with compact folding options, which let you remove the front wheels and store them more compactly.

Easy to maneuver

A three-wheel buggy can be more maneuverable for children. The way in which they are built ensures that the front wheels turn on a dime and are incredibly easy to manoeuvre, making them ideal for difficult terrains like cobbles, parks and bumpy pavements as well as dirt tracks.

MFM reviewer Kath tried a 3 wheel buggy for sale-wheeler with her toddler, and she said: "The Terrain is a joy to maneuver in rough terrain. The swivel wheel front was especially useful." I was also impressed with how well it dealt with kerbs using the hand-operated break. It was very stable going downhill or on uneven terrain."

The only downside to this amazing maneuverability is that the larger wheels of the 3 wheel double buggy wheel buggy can sometimes make it difficult to squeeze into tight spaces. This is something you need to be aware of when you live in a city. If this is an issue then a 4-wheel buggy may be a better choice for you.
