Three Wheeled Buggies
Three-wheeled buggies are ideal for walking around the neighborhood or for jogging. Their compact design makes them easy to maneuver, even in tight spaces.
For a smooth ride, go for a pram that has air-filled tyres. Also, look for models with a 360deg front swivel wheel. They are prone, however to punctures. Make sure you have an repair kit.
Sturdy frame
New figures show that three-wheeled buggies, the symbol of the decade that had more money than common sense, are in rapid decline. Four-wheelers are replacing them, and are more versatile and easy to drive and look fashionable.
The larger the wheels are, the better your buggy can deal with bumpy and uneven pavements. The larger wheels both rear and front, make it easier to maneuver and more stable while walking downhill or over difficult terrain.
MFM reviewer Kath tested the buggy with a newborn and 3 year old and found that it coped well with cobbles, grass, rough pavements, dirt tracks and kerbs. Kath said it felt solid to push, and very stable on difficult terrain. Its tyres (which are inflatable so need occasional pumping) have suspension built-in that was very comfortable for my children.
Another thing to think about is the seat size and shape. You'll want it to be large enough for your child's comfort and you will also need it to recline for them to lie flat. Some three-wheel buggies will have an option to lie flat completely while others allow the parent to be facing one.
The Roma Atlas is a great option for off-road or wet walks. This buggy is suitable for a single child starting from birth, and can be adapted to accommodate two children as your family grows. It is suitable for toddlers and infants from birth to age 4, and includes a bumper and raincover, a new 5-point harness, and a large cushioned seat. Storage options are also a plus with a large basket and zip pockets on the hood, and an attractive pouch at the rear of seat unit.
Wheels with a larger diameter
Larger wheels give your buggy more stability when driving on rough terrain. This is ideal for off-road buggies. They also make it easier to navigate the pushchair through tight spaces. Many three wheeled buggies have the front wheels that swivel to aid you in maneuvering around corners with ease, whereas others are designed for running and have fixed front wheels that lock to increase the speed and stability with which they can be driven. This is especially useful when you hit the kerb or a tree. The front wheel will lift slightly to avoid hitting it.
Many 3 wheel pushchairs feature air-filled tyres. This means they can be used on many different terrains and are far more flexible than 4-wheeler. They also tend to be lighter. They are more prone to punctures, so you'll need to have an repair kit and spare inner tube in your arsenal.
Mountain Buggy Core, Venicci Carbo and Venicci Carbo Lux are among our top 3-wheelers. According to MFM's Kath, have larger wheels, which, she says "perform well on grass, gravel roads and market town cobbles", and can easily go up or down kerbs. They also have a suspension system which according to her "smoothes out bumps extremely effectively".
Buggies with larger wheels may be quite large, and may struggle to fit into narrow spaces. This could be a problem if you are using it as a jogger or you need to get through doorways that are narrow when traveling. Most models come with compact folding options that allow you to remove the front wheels and store them more compactly.
Easy to 3 wheeler buggies of the major advantages to a three wheel buggy is that it can be much more maneuverable, especially with a child in tow. The way in which they are built ensures that the front wheels rotate at a quick pace and are extremely easy to manoeuvre and are ideal for difficult terrain like cobbles, parks or bumpy pavements, as well as dirt tracks.
MFM reviewer Kath tried an all-wheeler with her toddler. she wrote: "The Terrain is a joy to maneuver on rough terrain. The front swivel wheel was especially helpful." I was also amazed by the way it dealt with kerbs using the hand-operated break. It was very stable going downhill or on a rough terrain."
The only drawback of this incredible maneuverability is that the three wheel buggy's bigger wheels sometimes mean it has to struggle in tight spaces - something to be aware of especially if you live in a city area. If this is an issue then a 4-wheel buggy may be a better option for you.
Bumper bar
Bumper bars are the perfect way to protect your little one from bumps and scrapes when out and about. They are quick and easy to install and make your child feel safe and secure when out in the city or tackling tough terrain.
This bumper bar was designed to complement the sleek lines of your Slim Twin stroller. It features a soft, padded surface that provides a comfortable place for your child to grasp onto while walking. The robust construction and durable design will ensure that your child is able to enjoy strolling around the town without worrying about falling or leaning towards the side.
The sling's fabric is placed within the frame and not on top of the modular seat. This puts the center of gravity for your baby at the ideal height, and also delivers an excellent weight distribution, making it easier to push over curbs (it is much easier to push a stroller up and down than you may think). MFM reviewer Kath discovered that it was able to cope well with cobbles and grass and is a great choice for jogging thanks to its lockable swivel front wheel that can be locked and air-filled tyres.
This bumper bar will make heads turn wherever it's utilized. It has a classy and fashionable look. It's available in a range of finishes and colors to match your personal style.

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