Three Wheeled Buggies
Whether you're seeking a buggy to run with or just a compact stroller for strolls around the neighborhood, three-wheeled buggies provide great mobility. Their compact design makes it easy to maneuver even in tight places.
If you're looking for a smooth ride with your baby, select models with 360deg front wheels that swivel. They are, however, susceptible to punctures. Be prepared with a repair set.
Frame made of sturdy material
New figures show that the three-wheeled buggies that were the symbol of the noughties that had more money than common sense, are in rapid decline. They are being replaced by four-wheelers that can handle a wider variety of terrain, while also looking swanky and being easy to push.
The bigger the wheels are the better your buggy will cope with bumpy surfaces and uneven pavements. With larger wheels front and back also makes it much easier to manoeuvre and more stable when walking downhill or on rough terrain.
MFM reviewer Kath tried the buggy out with a newborn baby and a 3-year-old child and found it to be very sturdy. It was able to withstand cobbles, grass, and rough pavements, aswell as dirt tracks and kerbs. She said "it feels sturdy to push and is very stable when you're on rough terrain. The tyres, which are inflatable and require to be pumped regularly and have a suspension built-in. This was very comfortable for my kids.
Another thing to think about is the size and shape. The seat should be big enough to allow your child to be comfortable and allow them to lie down. Certain three-wheel buggies have the option of reclining completely, while others allow a parent facing one.
A great choice for tackling off-road and muddy walks is the Roma Atlas. This buggy can be used as a single unit from birth, and then expands to accommodate two children as your family expands. It is suitable for toddlers and infants from birth until age 4 and comes with a bumper with a rain cover, an upgraded 5-point harness, and a huge cushioned seat. The storage options are great too, with a decent-sized basket, zip pockets on the hood, and an attractive pouch at the back of the seat unit.
Wheels with larger diameter
Larger wheels mean your buggy will be more stable on uneven terrain, which is ideal for buggies that are off-road. They also allow you to maneuver the pushchair in tight spaces. A lot of three-wheeled buggies come with swivel front wheels to help you navigate around tight corners, whereas others are designed for running and come with fixed front wheels that lock to improve the speed and stability with which they can be driven. This can also help if you bump into an unintentional tree root or kerb as the front wheel can be lifted up slightly to prevent you from hitting it.
Many 3 wheel pushchairs feature air filled tyres which means they are able to handle many different terrains and are more flexible than four wheelers. They are also lighter. However, they're prone to punctures, so you'll need an repair kit, spare inner tube and pump handy.
Our top 3-wheelers include the Mountain Buggy Core and Venicci Carbo Lux. These buggies, as per MFM's Kath, have larger wheels that according to her "perform well on grass, gravel roads and market town cobbles", and can easily climb or descend kerbs. The buggies also have suspensions that Kath says "smooths out bumps very effectively".
The downside of having larger wheels is that they make buggies quite large and make it difficult to get through narrow spaces. This can be an issue if you're using it as a jogger or to be able to get through doorways that are narrow when you're out and out and about. Fortunately, many models come with small folding options that let you take off the front wheels to make compact storage.
Easy to Manoeuvre
One of the primary benefits to 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 spin at a whim and are really maneuverable and are ideal for difficult terrains like cobbles, parks or bumpy pavements, as well as dirt tracks.
MFM reviewer Kath tried out a three-wheeler with her infant and toddler and stated: "The Terrain was a pleasure to maneuver over tough terrain with the swivel rear wheel being particularly helpful. I was also amazed by the way it handled kerbs with the hand-operated break. It was very stable going downhill or on a rough terrain."
The only downside to this great maneuverability, is that the larger wheels of a 3-wheel buggy may make it difficult to squeeze into tight spaces. This is something to be aware of if your home area is an urban area. If this is a problem then a four-wheeled buggy might be the better option for you.

Comfort
A 3-wheel buggy is the best off-road vehicle to maneuver and performance. This type of buggy is simple to steer and turns on a dime with its perfect geometry, engineering, and weight distribution.
The Sport's clever design places the sling seat made of fabric inside the frame, not sitting on top as modular seats. This lets it have lower center of gravity which means it's more comfortable to push, has a lighter curb-pop (you don't have to put in much effort to push the buggy's hood over a curb) and also provides better balance and stability. And with the huge 16'' rear wheels and lockable swivel front wheels and air filled tyres that only require occasional pumping to give you an unhurried ride on rough terrain and a smoother, more comfortable jog.
