Three Wheeled Buggies
Three-wheeled buggies are ideal for walking around the neighborhood or for jogging. Their compact design makes them easy to manoeuvre even in tight areas.
For a smooth ride, go for a pram that has air-filled tyres and look for models with a 360deg front swivel wheel. However, they are susceptible 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 noughties that were more expensive than common sense, are in rapid decline. Four-wheelers are replacing them, and are more versatile and easier to drive while still looking elegant.
The bigger the wheels are the more your buggy will be able to deal with bumpy and uneven pavements. With larger wheels front and back also makes it easier to manoeuvre and more stable when walking downhill or over difficult terrain.
MFM reviewer Kath tested this buggy with the newborn baby and a toddler and found it to be very durable. It was able to withstand cobbles, grass and rough pavements, as well as dirt tracks and kerbs. Kath said that "it feels sturdy to push and extremely solid when you're on rough terrain. Its tyres (which are inflatable and require periodic pumping) offer built-in suspension, which was very comfortable for my children.
The shape and size of the seat is a further factor to consider. You want the seat to be big enough for your child to be at ease and to lie down. Some three-wheel buggies offer an option to lie flat completely while others will only allow an adult facing one.
A great option for those who want to tackle off-road and muddy trails is the Roma Atlas. This buggy is ideal for a single child as early as birth and can be modified to accommodate two children as your family expands. It is suitable for toddlers and infants from birth until age 4. It comes with a bumper and raincover, a new 5-point harness, and a large cushioned seat. Storage options are also a plus with a large basket with zip pockets on the hood, and a handy pouch at the rear of seat unit.
Larger wheels
Larger wheels mean your buggy will be more stable on rough terrain - perfect for buggies designed for off-road use. In addition, they help you maneuver the pushchair in tight spaces. Some three-wheeled buggies come with wheels that swivel on the front to help you navigate tight corners. Others are designed to run and have fixed wheels that lock to provide increased speed and stability. This also helps in the event that you hit a tree root or stray road, as the front wheel can be lifted up slightly to prevent you from hitting it.
Many 3 wheeled pushchairs have air-filled tyres that allow them to handle a wide range of terrains. They are also more flexible than 4 wheelers. They also tend to be lighter. They are prone to punctures, so you'll require repair kits and an spare inner tube in your arsenal.
Mountain Buggy Core, Venicci Carbo and Venicci Carbo lux are some of our favourite 3 wheeled buggies-wheelers. Both buggies feature larger wheels that, as per MFM reviewer Kath, "perform really well on gravel tracks, grass and market town cobbles" and are able to easily move up and down kerbs. They also come with a suspension system that according to her "smoothes out bumps extremely effectively".
Buggies with larger wheels can be quite wide and can be difficult to fit in tight spaces. This is an issue when you're using it for an exercise bike or to maneuver through doorways that are narrow when you're out and about. The majority of models come with compact folding options that let you remove the front wheels and store them in a more compact manner.
Easy to Manoeuvre
A three-wheel buggy can be more maneuverable for children. 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 like cobbles, parks, bumpy pavements and dirt tracks.
MFM reviewer Kath tried a 3 wheeled pushchairs-wheeler with her toddler. she wrote: "The Terrain is a pleasure to drive on rough terrain. The front swivel wheel was especially helpful." I was also impressed by the way it handled bumps, particularly when using the hand-operated brake. It was very stable for descending or on a rough terrain."
The only downside of this great maneuverability is that the three wheel buggy's larger wheels sometimes mean that it will struggle in tight spaces - something to be aware of especially if you live in a metropolitan area. If this is a problem then a 4-wheel buggy may be better for you.
Bumper bar
Bumper bars are the perfect method to protect your child from scrapes and bumps when out and out and about. They are easy to install and will make your child feel secure and safe out and about.
Created to match the sleek lines of the sleek lines of your Slim Twin stroller, this bumper bar has an upholstered and soft surface that provides an ideal place for your child to hang to during walks. The sturdy construction and durable design will ensure that your child will be able to enjoy strolling around the town without having to worry about falling or leaning towards the side.
The sling seat is in the frame, snugly as opposed to over it as modular seats do, providing the lowest center of gravity at the right height for your baby 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 might think). MFM reviewer Kath said it's ideal on cobbles and grass. It's also a good option for running thanks to its air-filled tyres and the lockable swivel wheel.
With a stylish and sophisticated appearance, this bumper bar is sure to turn heads wherever you go. It's available in a variety of finishes and colours to match your style. The bumper bar is easily removed and installed using the quick-release mechanism. Furthermore, the bumper bar is easy to clean and is made of sturdy materials that are easy to clean. This makes it an excellent option for families who want an elegant and safe stroller accessory.
Comfort
A 3 wheel jogger stroller-wheel buggy is the ideal off-road vehicle to maneuver and performance. This style of buggy is simple to steer and can turn in a flash thanks to its perfect geometry, engineering, and weight distribution.
Designed with fabric sling seat that is tucked away inside the frame rather than sitting on top like modular seats, the Sport's smart design allows it to have a lower centre of gravity, which is at the ideal height for your child - giving you a more comfortable push, a lighter curb pop (you don't require the same amount of weight or effort to lift the hood of your buggy up and over the curb) and a greater balance and stability. With 16" rear wheels, the lockable front wheel, and air-filled tyres which allow for a more smooth, comfortable jogging.
The only all-terrain stroller in our range that comes with a parent-facing seat that can also accommodate an infant car seat or carrycot, you are able to ensure your family's future is secure and enjoy every adventure - from the first day and for many years to come!
Kath who was our MFM reviewer, also adored the roominess of the buggy. There's a nimble large, spacious basket that's surprising spacious for a vehicle that's this big. Plus, there's also a handy pouch on the back of the unit, as well as two smaller mesh pockets underneath the hood, where you can keep your phone and keys.
