Three Wheeled Buggies
If you’re seeking a buggy to run around in or a compact stroller for the neighborhood, three-wheeled buggies are great for mobility. Their compact design allows them to be maneuvered easily, even in tight spaces.
If you want a smooth ride on your pram, choose models with 360deg front wheels that can swivel. They are, however, susceptible, to punctures. Be prepared with an emergency 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 steep decline. They’ve been replaced with four-wheelers that can handle a wider variety of terrain, yet still look stylish and easy to push.
The bigger the wheels are, the more your buggy will be able to deal with bumpy surfaces and uneven pavements. The larger wheels on both the front and back makes it easier to maneuver and more stable when walking downhill or on rough terrain.
MFM reviewer Kath tried the buggy out with an infant and a toddler and found it to be extremely durable. It handled grass, cobbles and rough pavements, aswell as dirt tracks and kerbs. Kath wrote “it feels sturdy to push and very solid when going over difficult terrain. Its tyres, which are inflated and require to be pumped up regularly and have a suspension built-in. It was extremely comfortable for my children.
Another thing to consider is the size and shape. It is important for the seat to be large enough for your child to be at ease and to lie down. Certain three-wheel buggies have an option to lie flat completely while others only allow for the parent to be facing one.
A great choice for tackling off-road and muddy walks is the Roma Atlas. This buggy 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 birth until age 4, and includes a bumper, raincover, an improved 5-point harness, and a large cushioned seat. The storage options are good too, with a decent-sized basket, zip pockets in the hood, and an easy-to-access pouch on the rear of the seat unit.
Larger wheels
Larger wheels give your buggy more stability when driving on rough terrain. This is perfect for buggies that are off-road. They also make it easier to move the pushchair around tight spaces. A lot of three-wheeled buggies come with rotating front wheels that aid you in maneuvering around tight corners, while others are designed for running and have fixed front wheels that lock to increase the speed and stability at the speed at which they can be pushed. This also helps when you crash into a tree root or stray kerb as the front wheel can be lifted up a bit to prevent you from hitting it.
Many 3 wheel twin stroller wheel pushchairs feature air filled tyres which means they can be used on a variety of terrains and are much more flexible than 4-wheeler. They’re also lighter. However, they’re susceptible to punctures, so you’ll need to keep an repair kit, spare inner tube, and pump on hand.
Mountain Buggy Core, Venicci Carbo and the Venicci Carbo lux are some of our favourite 3 wheel double stroller-wheelers. Both of these buggies come with larger wheels that, as per MFM reviewer Kath, “perform really well on gravel tracks, grass and market town cobbles” and are able to effortlessly go up and down kerbs. The buggies also have a suspension that Kath says “smooths out bumps very effectively”.
The drawback of having larger wheels is that they make some buggies quite wide and may struggle to squeeze through narrow spaces. This is problematic if you intend to use it for jogging or have to squeeze through doorways that are narrow when on the move. Most models come with small folding options that let you remove the front wheels and store them more compactly.
Easy to maneuver
One of the main benefits to a three wheel buggy is that it’s much easier to maneuver particularly with a child in tow. They are designed so that the front wheels be turned on a dime and are easy to maneuver, making them perfect for challenging terrain such as cobblestones, parks, bumpy roads, and dirt tracks.
MFM reviewer Kath tested a 3 wheeler with her newborn and toddler and stated: “The Terrain was a delight to maneuver on the ground, with the swivel front wheel being especially helpful. I was also awed 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 to this great maneuverability, is that the larger wheels of the 3 wheel buggy can sometimes make it difficult to fit into tight spaces. This is something to keep in mind if your home area is a city. If this is a problem then a 4-wheeler might be a better option for you.
Bumper bar
Bumper bars will protect your child from bumps and scrapes when out and out and about. These bumper bars are easy to install and will allow your child to feel secure and safe out and out and about.
Designed to complement the sleek lines of your Slim Twin stroller, this bumper bar features a soft and cushioned surface that offers an ideal place for your child to hang to during walks. The sturdy construction and sturdy design will ensure that your child will be able to enjoy strolling through the city without having to worry about falling or leaning forward.
The fabric sling seat sits in the frame, snugly instead of on top of it like modular seats, delivering the lowest center of gravity at the right height for your infant and also delivering great weight distribution for a simple kerb pop (it takes much less effort to push the buggy up and over a curb than you think). MFM reviewer Kath discovered that it was able to cope well with grass and cobbles and is a great option for jogging with its lockable swivel wheel on the front and air-filled tyres.
This bumper bar will make heads turn wherever it’s used. It has a sophisticated and fashionable design. Available in a variety of finishes and colors that can be customized to match your style. The bumper bar is easily installed and removed by the quick-release mechanism. The bumper bar is easy to clean, as it is constructed of durable materials.

Comfort
A 3 wheel pushchair-wheel buggy provides the most agility and performance when driving off-road. This style of buggy is simple to steer and turn on a dime with its perfect geometry engineering, weight, and distribution.
The Sport’s clever design places the sling seat made of fabric inside the frame, rather than over it like modular seats. This allows it to have lower center of gravity which means it’s easier to push, has a lighter curb-pop (you will not need to put in the same effort to raise the buggy’s front end over a curb) and provides better balance and stability. With 16″ rear wheels, the lockable front wheel, and tyres that are air-filled, you can enjoy an easier, more comfortable jog.
As the only all-terrain pushchair in our collection that comes with a parent-facing seat that can also accommodate the form of a car seat or carrycot, you can future proof your family and take pleasure in every adventure from day dot and for years to come in the footprint of a single buggy!
And that’s not the only reason you should love this buggy Our MFM reviewer Kath was impressed by how spacious it is too. There’s a big easily accessible basket that’s quite spacious for such a small buggy, plus there’s an excellent zip-up pouch at the back of the seat and two smaller mesh pockets under the hood to store your keys and phone.
