Three Wheeled Buggies Three-wheeled buggies are ideal for walking around the neighborhood or jogging. Their compact design makes it easy to maneuver, even in tight places. If you want a smooth ride with your baby, select models with 360deg front wheels that can swivel. However, they are susceptible to punctures so be prepared with a repair kit. Sturdy frame New figures show that the three-wheeled buggies, the emblem of the noughties, which were more expensive than common sense, are in rapid decline. Four-wheelers have replaced them, and are more versatile and easy to drive and look stylish. The bigger 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 move and more stable when walking downhill or in difficult terrain. MFM reviewer Kath tried the buggy with a newborn and 3 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 is very stable when traversing difficult terrain. The tyres, which are inflated and require to be pumped up occasionally and have a suspension built-in. This was very comfortable for my children. Another thing to take into consideration is the size of the seat and shape. You'll want it to be big enough for your child's comfort. You will also want it to be able to recline for them to lie flat. Some three-wheel buggies will have a full lie-flat option while others allow the parent to be facing one. A great choice for tackling off-road or muddy walks is the Roma Atlas. This buggy can be used as a single unit from the beginning and can be modified to take two children when your family grows. It is suitable for infants and toddlers up to age four and comes with a bumper bar, raincover, improved 5-point harness and a spacious cushioned seat unit. Storage options are also good with a large basket, zip pockets on the hood and an extra pouch on the rear of the seat unit. Larger wheels Larger wheels mean that your buggy will have more stability on rough terrain - ideal for buggies that are off-road. They also allow you to maneuver the buggy through tight spaces. Some three-wheeled buggies come with swivel wheels at the front to aid in maneuvering around tight corners. Others are designed to run and have fixed wheels that lock to provide increased speed and stability. This is also useful if you crash into a tree or a kerb. The front wheel can be lifted slightly to prevent hitting it. A lot of 3 wheeled pushchairs come with air-filled tyres which allow them to handle a wide range of terrains. They are also more flexible than 4 wheelers. They also tend to be lighter. However, they are prone to punctures so you'll need to keep an repair kit, spare inner tube and pump handy. Some of our favourite 3-wheelers include the Mountain Buggy Core and Venicci Carbo Lux. https://www.pushchairsandprams.uk/categories/3-wheel-pushchairs , as per MFM's Kath, have larger wheels that according to her "perform well on gravel roads, grass and market town cobbles", and can easily go up or down kerbs. They also have suspensions that, according to Kath "smooths out bumps with great efficiency". The drawback of having larger wheels is that they can make some buggies quite broad and make it difficult to get through narrow spaces. This is an issue especially if you're using it to an exercise bike or to be able to get through doors that are narrow when out and about. Luckily, most models have small folding options that let you take off the front wheels for more compact storage. Easy to Manoeuvre One of the main benefits of a three-wheel buggy is that it's much easier to maneuver, especially with a child in tow. They are designed so that the front wheels can turn on a dime, and are easy to move, making them ideal for difficult terrain like cobblestones, parks as well as bumpy roads and dirt tracks. MFM reviewer Kath tested a 3 wheeler with her newborn and toddler and wrote: "The Terrain was a pleasure to maneuver over tough ground with the swivel rear wheel particularly useful. I was also amazed by the way it dealt with kerbs using the hand-operated break. It was extremely stable when going downhill or on uneven terrain." The only drawback of this incredible 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 metropolitan area. If this is the case then a four-wheeled buggy might be a better option for you. Bumper bar Bumper bars will protect your child from scrapes and bumps while out and out and about. They are quick and easy to install and make your child feel safe and secure while out on the town or on the trail. The bumper bar is designed to match the sleek lines on your Slim Twin stroller. It features a soft, padded surface that offers an ideal place for your child to grab onto while walking. The robust construction and durable design will ensure that your child will be capable of enjoying a stroll around town without fear of falling or leaning towards the side. The sling is stowed inside the frame it is not positioned on top like the seat that is modular. This creates a lower center of gravity for your newborn at the right height and also provides excellent weight distribution to make it easier to pop over curbs (it is much easier to push the stroller up and over than you think). MFM reviewer Kath said it was great on grass and cobbles. It's also a good option for running with its air-filled tyres as well as a locking swivel wheels. This bumper bar will attract attention wherever it's used. It has a classy and elegant appearance. It's available in a variety of colours and finishes to match your personal style. It comes with a simple quick-release mechanism that makes it easy to install and remove the bumper bar whenever needed. The bumper bar is easy to clean since it is constructed of strong materials. This makes it a good choice for families looking for a stylish and secure stroller accessory. Comfort A 3-wheel buggy provides the best in maneuverability and performance when going off-road. This style of buggy is easy to steer and turns on a dime with its perfect geometry, engineering, and weight distribution. Designed with fabric sling seat positioned snugly inside the frame instead of on top of it like modular seats, the Sport's clever design allows it to have a lower centre of gravity at the right level for your child - giving you a more comfortable push, a lighter curb pop (you don't need as much weight or effort to lift the buggy's nose up and over a curb) and a greater stability and balance.

There's a large easy-to-access basket that's surprisingly roomy for such a small buggy and there's an excellent zip-up pouch on the rear of the seat unit and two smaller mesh pockets in the hood for your keys and phone.
