Three Wheeled Buggies
Whether you're looking for a buggy to run with or just a nifty stroller to tackle strolls around the neighborhood, three-wheeled buggies are great for mobility. Their compact design makes it easy to maneuver, even in tight spaces.
For a smooth ride, opt for a pram that has air-filled tyres. Also, look for models with an swivel wheel that rotates 360 degrees in front. They are prone, however, to punctures. Make sure you have an repair kit.
Sturdy frame
New figures show that the three-wheeled buggies, that symbol of the decade that had more money than common sense, are in steep decline. They are being replaced by four-wheelers that can handle a wider range of terrain, while still looking swanky and being easy to push.
The larger the wheels are the better your buggy will cope with uneven surfaces and bumpy pavements. The larger wheels both rear and front enable you to maneuver and more stable when walking downhill or in difficult terrain.
MFM reviewer Kath tried this buggy on the newborn baby and a toddler and found it very durable. It was able to withstand cobbles, grass and rough pavements, aswell as dirt tracks and kerbs. She said "it is sturdy to push and is very stable when you're on rough terrain. Its tyres (which are inflatable, so require occasionally pumping) offer built-in suspension that was very comfortable for my kids.
Another thing to consider is the size and shape. You will want it to be large enough to accommodate your child's comfort. You will also require it to recline so that they can lie flat. 3 wheeler pushchair -wheel buggies have the option of lying flat, which lets your child face you, while other buggies only allow a face-to-parent one.
The Roma Atlas is a great alternative for off-road or walking in muddy areas. It 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 to age 4. It includes a bumper with a rain cover, an upgraded 5-point harness, and a huge padded seat. The storage options are excellent as well, with a large basket, zip pockets in the hood and an attractive pouch at the rear of the seat unit.
Larger wheels
Larger wheels give your buggy more stability when driving on rough terrain. This is especially beneficial for off-road buggies. They also help you maneuver the pushchair in tight spaces. Many three wheeled buggies feature swivel front wheels to aid you in maneuvering around tight corners, whereas others are designed for running and have fixed front wheels that lock to improve the speed and stability at which they can be driven. This is particularly useful when you bump against trees or a kerb. The front wheel can be lifted slightly to keep it from hitting it.
Many 3 wheeled pushchairs have air-filled tyres which allow them to handle a wide range of terrains. They are also more flexible than 4 wheelers. They are also lighter. However, they're susceptible to punctures so you'll need to have an repair kit, spare tube and pump handy.
3 wheeler pushchair , Venicci Carbo and Venicci Carbo lux are among our top 3-wheelers. Both of these buggies come with larger wheels that, according to MFM reviewer Kath, "perform really well on grass, gravel tracks and market town cobbles" and can easily move up and down kerbs. The buggies also come with suspension that according to Kath "smooths out bumps very effectively".
Buggies with larger wheels can be quite wide and they may be a challenge to fit into narrow spaces. This is a problem when you're using it for a jogger or you need to maneuver through doorways that are narrow when you're out and about. Most models come with compact folding options that permit you to take off the front wheels and store them more compactly.
Easy to Manoeuvre
A three-wheeler can be easier to maneuver with a child. The way in which they are built means that the front wheels spin at a quick pace and are really maneuverable, making them ideal for difficult terrains like cobbles, parks and bumpy pavements as well as dirt tracks.
MFM reviewer Kath tested a 3 wheeler with her newborn and toddler and said: "The Terrain was a pleasure to maneuver over tough terrain and the swivel front wheel being particularly helpful. I was also impressed with how well it dealt with kerbs, especially when using the hand-operated brake. I found it extremely stable when driving downhill or over uneven terrain."
The only drawback of this amazing maneuverability is that the 3 wheel buggy's bigger wheels sometimes mean it has to struggle in tight spaces, something to keep in mind when you live in a metropolitan region. If this is a problem then a four-wheeled buggy might be the better option for you.
Bumper bar
Bumper bars are the ideal method to shield your little one from bumps and scrapes when out and out and about. These bumper bars are easy to install, and will allow your child to feel safe and secure out and about.

The fabric sling sits snugly inside the frame it is not positioned on top like the seat that is modular. This provides a lower centre of gravity for your baby at the perfect height and also delivers an excellent weight distribution, making it easier to pop over curbs (it is much easier to push a stroller up and over than you may think). MFM reviewer Kath said it's ideal on cobbles and grass. It's also a good option for running with its air-filled tyres as well as a lockable swivel wheel.
With a stylish and sophisticated design, this bumper bar is sure to draw attention wherever you go. It's available in a range of colours and finishes to suit your personal style.

Comfort
A 3-wheel buggy is a great off-road vehicle to maneuver and performance. With perfect design and weight distribution, this kind of buggy is able to turn 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 four wheels.
Designed with fabric sling seat placed snugly within the frame instead of sitting on top like modular seats, the Sport's clever design allows it to have a lower center of gravity that is the perfect level for your child - giving you a more comfortable push, a less hefty curb pop (you do not require any effort or weight to lift the nose of your buggy up and over the curb) and better balance and stability. And with the huge rear wheels measuring 16 inches, lockable swivel front wheel and air filled tyres that only require occasional pumping, you get an unhurried ride on rough terrain and a smoother and more comfortable jog.

Kath, our MFM reviewer, also adored the roominess of this buggy. There's a huge, easily accessible basket that's huge for a buggy of this size as well as an easy-to-use pouch that zips up on the rear of the seat unit, and two smaller mesh pockets inside the hood for your phone and keys.
