Three Wheeled Buggies
Three-wheeled buggies are great for walking around the neighborhood or for jogging. Their compact design makes it easy to maneuver, even in tight spaces.
For a smooth ride, go for a pram fitted with air-filled tyres. Look for models with 360deg front swivel wheels. However, they are prone to punctures, so make sure you are prepared with an repair kit.
Frame made of sturdy material
New data show that three-wheeled buggies, the symbol of the noughties that were more expensive than common sense, are in rapid decline. Four-wheelers are replacing them, and are more versatile and easier to drive, while also looking elegant.
The basic idea is that the bigger the wheels are, the easier it will be for your buggy to cope with rough ground and bumpy pavements. The larger wheels, both front and rear enable you to maneuver and more stable when walking downhill or on difficult terrain.
MFM reviewer Kath tried this buggy out with a newborn as well as a 3 year old and found that it was able to withstand cobbles, grass, rough roads, dirt tracks and kerbs. She noted that it was sturdy to push, and extremely solid on rough terrain. Its tyres (which are inflatable, so require periodic pumping) have suspension built-in that was very comfortable for my kids.
Another thing to take into consideration is the size and shape. You want the seat to be big enough to allow your child to be at ease and to lie down. Some three-wheel buggies will have a full lie-flat option while others only allow for the parent to be facing one.
The Roma Atlas is a great alternative for off-road or walking in muddy areas. This buggy is suitable for a single child from birth and can be modified to accommodate two children as your family expands. It is suitable for babies and toddlers from age 4 and comes with a bumper bar, raincover, an improved 5-point harness, and a large cushioned seat unit. Storage options are also a plus with a large storage basket and zip pockets on the hood and an extra pouch at the rear of seat unit.
Larger wheels
Larger wheels mean that your buggy will have more stability on rough terrain - ideal for off-road buggies. Additionally, they make it easier to manoeuvre the buggy through tight spaces. Some three-wheeled buggies feature rotating wheels on the front, which assist you in navigating tight corners. Others are designed to run and have fixed wheels that lock to provide increased speed and stability. This is especially useful when you hit a tree or a kerb. The front wheel will lift slightly to keep it from hitting it.
A majority of 3 wheeled pushchairs have air-filled tyres that allow them to navigate a wide range of terrains. They are also more flexible than 4 wheelers. They are also lighter. They are prone to punctures, and you'll need to have repair kits and an spare inner tubes on hand.
Mountain Buggy Core, Venicci Carbo and Venicci Carbo lux are among our favorite 3-wheelers. Both buggies feature larger wheels that, according to MFM reviewer Kath, "perform really well on grass, gravel tracks and market town cobbles" and are able to effortlessly go up and down kerbs. The buggies also come with suspensions that Kath says "smooths out bumps very effectively".
Buggies with larger wheels may be quite large, and they may be a challenge to fit in tight spaces. This is an issue if you're using it as an exercise bike or to maneuver through doorways that are narrow when you're out and about. Fortunately, many models come with compact folding options that let you remove the front wheels to create more compact storage.
Easy to manoeuvre
One of the primary benefits to a three-wheeled buggy is that it can be much more maneuverable, especially with a child in tow. They are designed to ensure that the front wheels can be turned on a dime and are easy to navigate, making them ideal for challenging terrain such as parks, cobblestones as well as bumpy roads and dirt tracks.
MFM reviewer Kath tried the 3-wheeler with her toddler. she said: "The Terrain is a joy to maneuver on rough terrain. The front swivel wheel was especially useful." I was also impressed with how well it handled kerbs with the hand-operated break. I found it to be extremely stable when going downhill or on uneven ground."
The only downside of this great mobility is that the 3 wheel buggy 's bigger wheels sometimes mean that it will be difficult to maneuver in tight spaces - something to consider especially if you live in a city region. If this is the case then a 4-wheeled buggy could be the better choice for you.
Bumper bar
Bumper bars are a great way to protect your little one from scrapes and bumps while out and out and about. They are simple and quick to install and make your child feel safe and secure whilst out on the town or taking on tough terrain.
Created to match the sleek lines of the sleek lines of your Slim Twin stroller, this bumper bar is a soft and cushioned surface that offers a comfortable place for your child to hold on to during walks. The sturdy construction and durable design ensure that your child will take a stroll around town without having to worry about falling out of the buggy or leaning too far forward.
The sling seat made of fabric sits snug inside the frame instead of over it as modular seats, delivering the lowest center of gravity at the appropriate height for your baby and also delivering excellent weight distribution for easy kerb pop (it takes much less effort to push the buggy up and over the curb than you think). MFM reviewer Kath said it was ideal on cobbles and grass. It's also a good alternative for running, thanks to its tyres that are filled with air and a locking swivel wheels.

Comfort
A 3-wheel buggy provides the best in maneuverability and performance when you go off road. With perfect geometry and engineering, as well as weight distribution this type of buggy can change direction on a dime and be a breeze to steer with just one hand. Mountain Buggies are tested to the same rigorous global stability standards and tests as 4-wheel buggies.
The sport's clever design puts the fabric sling seat within the frame, instead of sitting on top as modular seats. This allows it to have a lower center of gravity and makes it more comfortable to push, has a less weighty curb-pop (you don't have to exert as much effort to lift the buggy's front end over a curb) and also provides greater stability and balance.

Kath, our MFM reviewer, also adored the roominess of this buggy. There's a huge, easily accessible basket that's surprisingly roomy for such a small buggy as well as an excellent zip-up pouch on the back of the seat unit and even two smaller mesh pockets in the hood to keep your phone and keys.
