Frame made of sturdy material Figures have just been released showing that the three-wheeled buggie – that noughties symbol of more money than wisdom – is in steep decline. Four-wheelers have replaced them, which are more versatile and easier to drive while still looking elegant.

It should be big enough for your child's comfort. You will also require it to recline so that they can lie flat. Some three-wheel buggies offer a full lie-flat option while others will only allow an adult facing one. A great option for those who want to tackle off-road and muddy trails is the Roma Atlas.

They also help you maneuver the buggy through tight spaces. 3 wheeler pushchair wheeled buggies feature swivel front wheels to aid you in maneuvering around corners with ease, whereas others are designed for running and come with fixed front wheels that lock to increase the speed and stability with which they can be driven.

This is a problem if you use it as a jogger or have to squeeze through doorways that are narrow while out and about. Fortunately, many models come with compact folding options that let you take off the front wheels for more compact storage.

I was also impressed with the way it handled kerbs with the hand-operated break. I found it to be extremely stable when going downhill or over uneven terrain.” The only downside of this incredible mobility is that the 3 wheel buggy's larger wheels sometimes mean that it will be difficult to maneuver in tight spaces – something to be aware of if you live in a city region.
