Three Wheeled Buggies

If you're seeking a buggy to run with or just a stroller that can be used for neighbourhood walks, three wheeled buggies offer great mobility. Their compact design allows them to be maneuvered easily, even in tight spaces.

If you're looking for a smooth ride on your pram, choose models with 360deg front wheels that can swivel. They are, however, susceptible, to punctures. Make sure you have an emergency repair kit.

Sturdy frame

New figures show that the three-wheeled buggies, the emblem of the noughties, which had more money than common sense, are in steep decline. Four-wheelers have replaced them, which are more versatile and easier to drive and look fashionable.


The larger the wheels are the better your buggy can deal with bumpy surfaces and uneven pavements. The larger wheels, both front and rear enable you to maneuver and more stable when walking downhill or over difficult terrain.

MFM reviewer Kath tried the buggy out with the newborn baby and a 3-year-old child and found it to be extremely durable. It was able to handle cobbles, grass, and rough pavements, aswell as dirt tracks and kerbs. She noted that it was solid to push and very solid on difficult terrain. Its tyres (which are inflatable and require occasionally pumping) come with suspension built-in which was extremely comfortable for my kids.

Another thing to take into consideration is the size and shape. It should be big enough for your child's comfort. You will also require it to recline to allow them to lie flat. Certain three-wheel buggies come with the option of lying flat that allows the child to face you, while other buggies only permit a parent-facing option.

The Roma Atlas is a great option for off-road and muddy walks. This buggy is ideal for a single child from birth and can be modified to accommodate two children as your family grows. It is suitable for babies and toddlers from age 4 and comes with a bumper bar, raincover, a better 5-point harness, and a large cushioned seat unit. The storage options are good too, with a decent-sized basket, zip pockets on the hood and a handy pouch on the rear of the seat unit.

Larger wheels

Larger wheels will give your buggy more stability when driving on rough terrain. This is ideal for buggies designed for off-road use. They also allow you to navigate the pushchair through tight spaces. Certain three-wheeled buggies have rotating wheels on the front to help you navigate tight corners. Others are designed to run and have fixed wheels that lock to provide increased speed and stability. This is particularly useful when you hit trees or a kerb. The front wheel will be lifted slightly to keep it from hitting it.

Many 3 wheel pushchairs feature air-filled tyres. This means they are able to handle many different terrains and are far more flexible than 4-wheeler. They also tend to be lighter. They are prone to punctures, so you'll need to have an repair kit and spare inner tube on hand.

Our top three-wheelers include the Mountain Buggy Core and Venicci Carbo Lux. Both of these buggies come with larger wheels that, according to MFM reviewer Kath, "perform really well on grass, gravel tracks and market town cobbles" and can easily climb and descend kerbs. They also have a suspension that according to Kath "smooths out bumps extremely effectively".

The drawback of having larger wheels is that they can make some buggies quite broad and can struggle to fit through narrow spaces. This is a problem if you are using it as a jogger or have to squeeze through narrow doorways while out and about. The majority of models come with compact folding options that let you remove the front wheels and store them in a more compact manner.

Easy to manoeuvre

A three-wheeler can be more comfortable to drive with a child. The way in which they are built ensures that the front wheels turn at a whim and are really easy to maneuver and are ideal for difficult terrains such as parks, cobbles or bumpy pavements, as well as dirt tracks.

MFM reviewer Kath tried a 3-wheeler with her toddler and newborn and stated: "The Terrain was a pleasure to navigate over the rough terrain with the swivel rear wheel particularly useful. I was also impressed with how well it dealt with bumps, particularly when using the hand-operated brake. I found it extremely stable when going downhill or on uneven ground."

The only drawback to this great 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 when you live in one of the cities. If this is the case, a 4-wheeled buggy may be the better option for you.

Bumper bar
