Three Wheeled Buggies
Three-wheeled buggies are great for strolling around the neighborhood or for jogging. Their compact design makes it easy to maneuver even in tight spots.
If you're looking for an easy ride in your pram, choose 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.

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. They have been replaced by four-wheelers that are able to handle a wider variety of terrain, yet still look elegant and easy to push.
The larger the wheels are the better your buggy can deal with bumpy and uneven pavements. Having larger wheels both front and back makes it easier to manoeuvre and more stable when walking downhill or over difficult terrain.
MFM reviewer Kath tested the buggy with a newborn and a 3 wheel stroller set year old and found that it was able to handle cobbles, grass, rough roads, dirt tracks and kerbs. Kath said it felt solid to push and very solid on difficult terrain. The tyres, that are inflatable and need to be pumped up occasionally they have suspension built-in. This was extremely comfortable for my children.
The size and shape of the seat is another thing to think about. You want the seat to be large enough for your child to feel comfortable and allow them to lie down. Some three-wheel buggies have the option of lying flat that allows the child to face you, while other buggies only allow a parent-facing one.
An excellent option for taking on off-road or muddy walks is the Roma Atlas. It can be used as a one-person unit from birth, and then expands to accommodate two children as your family expands. It is suitable for infants and toddlers from birth until age 4, and includes a bumper and raincover, a new 5-point harness, and a huge cushioned seat. The storage options are good 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.
Larger wheels
Larger wheels will give your buggy more stability when driving over rough terrain. This is perfect for off-road buggies. Additionally, they help you maneuver the buggy through tight spaces. A lot of three-wheeled buggies come with swivel front wheels to aid you in maneuvering around tight corners, 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 driven. This also helps in the event that you hit an unintentional tree root or kerb as the front wheel can be lifted up a bit to prevent you from hitting it.
Many 3 wheel pushchairs feature air-filled tyres, which means they are able to handle a variety of terrains and are far more flexible than four wheelers. They're also lighter. However, they're susceptible to punctures, so you'll need to have an repair kit, spare tube and pump handy.
Mountain Buggy Core, Venicci Carbo and Venicci Carbo lux are among our top 3 wheeler stroller-wheelers. These buggies, as per MFM's Kath, have larger wheels which according to her "perform well on gravel roads, grass and market town cobbles" and are able to climb or descend kerbs. They also have suspension that according to Kath "smooths out bumps extremely effectively".
Buggies with larger wheels can be quite large, and they may be a challenge to fit in tight spaces. This could be an issue if you plan to use it as a jogger or you need to get through doorways that are narrow while traveling. Fortunately, many models come with compact folding options that allow you to take off the front wheels to make compact storage.
Easy to Manoeuvre
One of the primary benefits to a three-wheeled buggy is that it can be much easier to maneuver, especially with a child in tow. The way they are built ensures that the front wheels turn at a whim and are incredibly maneuverable, making them ideal for difficult terrain such as parks, cobbles or bumpy pavements, as well as dirt tracks.
MFM reviewer Kath tried out a three-wheeler with her newborn and toddler and said: "The Terrain was a pleasure to navigate over the rough ground and the swivel front wheel particularly useful. I was also awed by how well it coped with kerbs, especially when using the brake operated by hand. I found it to be extremely steady when I was driving downhill or over uneven ground."
The only downside to this incredible maneuverability is that the larger wheels of a 3 wheel reversible stroller wheel buggy might make it difficult to fit into tight spaces. This is something you need to be aware of when you live in an urban area. If this is an issue then a four-wheeled buggy might be a better option for you.
Bumper bar
Bumper bars protect your child from scrapes and bumps when they are out and about. These bumper bars are easy to install, and will help your child feel safe and secure out and about.
It is designed to complement the sleek lines of the sleek lines of your Slim Twin stroller, this bumper bar is a soft and padded surface that offers an ideal place for your child to hold to when walking.

The sling seat made of fabric sits snug inside the frame as opposed to sitting on top like modular seats. It provides the lower centre of gravity at the ideal height for your newborn and also providing excellent weight distribution for easy kerb pop (it requires less effort to push a buggy up and over a curb than you think). MFM reviewer Kath discovered that it was able to cope well with grass and cobbles and is a great choice for jogging due to its lockable swivel front wheel and air filled tyres.
With a sophisticated and stylish look this bumper bar will surely attract attention wherever you go. Available in a variety of finishes and colours and designs, it can be tailored to fit your style.

A 3 wheel baby buggy-wheel buggy is the best off-road vehicle to maneuver and performance. With the perfect design and engineering, as well as weight distribution this kind of buggy is able to change direction on a dime and be easy to steer with just one hand. Mountain Buggies pass the same rigorous global stability standards and tests as buggies with 4 wheels.
The seat is made of fabric placed snugly within the frame instead of sitting on top like modular seats, the Sport's clever design permits it to have a lower centre of gravity at the right height for your child - giving you a more comfortable push, a lighter curb pop (you don't require any effort or weight to push the hood of your buggy up and over a curb) and better stability and balance.

Kath who was our MFM reviewer, also adored the roominess of this buggy. There's a nimble large basket that's surprisingly spacious for a buggy that's this big. There's also an excellent pouch on the back seat unit, and 2 smaller mesh pockets beneath the hood where you can keep your keys and phone.
