Three Wheeled Buggies
Whether you're seeking a buggy to run with or just a stroller that can be used for the neighborhood, three-wheeled buggies provide great mobility. Their compact design allows them to be maneuvered easily, even in tight spaces.
If you are looking for a smooth ride on your baby, select models with 360deg front wheels with swivel. However, they are susceptible to punctures, so make sure you are prepared with a repair kit.
Sturdy frame
Figures have just been released showing that the three-wheeled vehicle - that noughties symbol of more money than sanity is on the verge of disappearing. They have been replaced by four-wheelers that are able to handle a wider variety of terrain, while also looking elegant and easy to push.
The rule is that the bigger the wheels are, the easier it'll be for your buggy to cope with bumpy ground and rough pavements. The larger wheels, both front and rear enable you to maneuver and more stable while walking downhill or on difficult terrain.
MFM reviewer Kath tested the buggy with a newborn as well as a 3 year old and found it coped well with grass, cobbles, rough roads, dirt tracks and kerbs. She noted that it was solid to push, and very stable on difficult terrain. Its tyres (which are inflatable so need occasional pumping) come with suspension built-in that was very comfortable for my kids.
Another thing to think about is the size and shape. It is important for the seat to be big enough to allow your child to feel comfortable and to allow them to lie down. Some three-wheel buggies offer a full lie-flat option while others will only 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 from birth and can be adjusted to accommodate two children as your family expands. It is suitable for toddlers and infants from birth until age 4. It includes a bumper, raincover, an improved 5-point harness, and a big padded seat. Storage options are also great, with a large basket and zip pockets on the hood, and an extra pouch at the rear of seat unit.
Larger wheels
Larger wheels give your buggy more stability when driving over rough terrain. This is perfect for buggies that are off-road. In addition, they allow you to maneuver the pushchair in tight spaces. Some three-wheeled buggies come with rotating wheels on the front to aid in maneuvering around tight corners. Others are designed for running and have fixed wheels that lock to provide increased speed and stability. This can also help in the event that you hit a tree root or stray kerb as the front wheel will lift up to keep you from hitting it.
A lot of 3 wheel pushchairs have air-filled tyres. This means they are able to handle a variety of terrains and are much more adaptable than 4-wheelers. They also tend to be lighter. However, they're prone to punctures, so you'll need to have a repair kit, spare tube, and pump on hand.
Mountain Buggy Core, Venicci Carbo and Venicci Carbo lux are some of our favourite 3-wheelers. Both buggies feature larger wheels that, according to MFM reviewer Kath, "perform really well on gravel tracks, grass and market town cobbles" and can easily go up and down kerbs. They also have a suspension system that according to her "smoothes out bumps very effectively".
Buggies with bigger wheels can be quite large, and they may be a challenge to fit into narrow spaces. This is problematic if you intend to are using it as a jogger or have to squeeze through doorways that are narrow when traveling. The majority of models come with compact folding options, which let you remove the front wheels and store them in a more compact manner.
Easy to Manoeuvre
A three-wheeler can be easier to maneuver with a child. They are designed to ensure that the front wheels can turn on a dime, and are easy to maneuver, making them perfect for challenging terrain such as cobblestones, parks as well as bumpy roads and dirt tracks.
MFM reviewer Kath tried a 3-wheeler with her toddler, and she said: "The Terrain is a joy to maneuver on rough terrain. The swivel wheel front was especially useful." I was also impressed by how well it dealt with the kerbs, particularly when using the hand-operated brake. It was very stable in the downhills or on a rough terrain."
The only downside to this amazing maneuverability is that the larger wheels of a 3-wheel buggy may make it difficult to fit into tight spaces. This is something you need to be aware of if your home area is a city. If this is the case then a 4-wheeled buggy could be the better choice for you.

The sling's fabric is placed within the frame it is not positioned on top like the seat that is modular. This creates a lower centre of gravity for your newborn at the right height and also delivers an excellent weight distribution, making it easier to climb over curbs (it is much easier to push a stroller up and down than you think).
