Why Is Three Wheeled Buggies So Popular
Three Wheeled Buggies
Three-wheeled buggies are great for strolling around the neighborhood or running. Their compact design makes them easy to maneuver, even in tight places.
If you're looking for a smooth ride on your pram, choose models with 360deg front wheels that can swivel. They are susceptible, however to punctures. Be prepared with a repair set.
Frame made of sturdy material
Figures have just been released showing that the three-wheeled vehicle - that noughties symbol of more money than sanity is in a decline. They have been replaced by four-wheelers that can be more versatile in terrain, while also looking elegant and easy to push.
The larger the wheels are the more your buggy will be able to deal with uneven surfaces and bumpy pavements. With larger wheels front and back makes it much easier to maneuver and more stable when walking downhill or on difficult terrain.
MFM reviewer Kath tried this buggy out with a newborn and 3 Wheel baby Strollers year old and found it was able to withstand grass, cobbles rough pavements, dirt tracks and kerbs. Kath wrote "it is sturdy to push and extremely solid when traversing difficult terrain. Its tyres (which are inflatable so need occasional pumping) come with suspension built-in that was very comfortable for my children.
Another thing to think about is the size and shape. It should be big enough for your child's comfort and you will also want it to be able to recline so that they can lie flat. Certain three-wheel buggies have a full lie-flat option while others allow a parent facing one.
The Roma Atlas is a great option for off-road or walking in muddy areas. It can be used as a single from birth and then adapts to take two children when your family expands. It is suitable for infants and toddlers from age four and comes with a bumper bar, raincover, a better 5-point harness and a spacious cushioned seat. The storage options are great as well, with a decent-sized basket, zip pockets on the hood, and an attractive pouch at the back of the seat unit.
Wheels with a greater diameter
Larger wheels mean your buggy will be more stable on uneven terrain, which is ideal for buggies designed for off-road use. They also allow you to move the pushchair around tight spaces. Many three wheeled buggies feature the front wheels that swivel to help you navigate around corners with ease, whereas others are designed for running and have fixed front wheels that lock to improve the speed and stability with which they can be pushed. This is particularly useful when you crash into a tree 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 allows them to navigate a wide range of terrains. They are also more flexible than 4 wheelers. They're also lighter. However, they are prone to punctures and you'll need a repair kit, spare inner tube, and pump on hand.
Some of our favourite 3-wheelers include the Mountain Buggy Core and Venicci Carbo Lux. Both of these buggies have larger wheels that, as per MFM reviewer Kath, "perform really well on gravel tracks, grass and market town cobbles" and are able to easily go up and down kerbs. They also have a suspension that Kath says "smooths out bumps extremely effectively".
Buggies with larger wheels can be quite wide and can be difficult to fit into tight spaces. This can be a problem if you use it for jogging or have to squeeze through doorways that are narrow when out and about. Luckily, most models have small folding options that let you take off the front wheels to create more compact storage.
Easy to Manoeuvre
One of the major advantages of a three-wheel buggy is that it is much easier to maneuver, especially with a child in tow. The way they are constructed means that the front wheels rotate at a quick pace and are extremely easy to maneuver and are ideal for difficult terrain such as parks, cobbles or bumpy pavements, as well as dirt tracks.
MFM reviewer Kath tried the 3 wheel stroller with bassinet-wheeler with her toddler, and she said: "The Terrain is a delight to navigate on rough terrain. The swivel wheel in the front was particularly helpful." I was also impressed with how well it coped 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 great maneuverability is that the three wheel buggy's larger wheels sometimes mean that it can struggle in tight spaces - something to consider 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 will protect your child from bumps and scrapes while out and out and about. These bumper bars are simple to install and will help your child feel secure and safe while out and out and about.
This bumper bar is designed to match the sleek lines on your Slim Twin stroller. It features a soft, padded surface to provide an ideal place for your child to grasp onto during walks.

The sling seat is snug inside the frame rather than on top of it like modular seats. It provides the lowest center of gravity at the appropriate height for your infant and also providing excellent weight distribution for easy kerb pop (it takes less effort to push the buggy over and up a curb than you might think). MFM reviewer Kath found it coped really well with grass and cobbles and is a great choice for jogging with its lockable swivel wheel on the front and air-filled tyres.
