3 Wheeled Buggies

A 3-wheeler can be used for off-road walking and for tackling terrain such as uneven paths or woodland tracks. They can also be easier to maneuver around kerbs than models with four wheels.

MadeForMums reviews editor Kath tried one of these three-wheelers with her newborn and 3 wheel stroller year old, putting it through its paces on road and on a rocky surface. You can read her full review here.

Stability

Four-wheel buggies with their centre of gravity balanced by your child's weight within the seat are generally more stable than three-wheelers. But that doesn't mean that an older model with three wheels isn't worth considering, as many of them are built to cope with everything from rough terrain to bustling high streets.

Find a buggie with large rear wheels, and a lockable wheel on the front. This will make it easier to drive and less likely to break off when driving on rough roads. These all-terrain buggies typically have pneumatic tyres as well, which are great at handling non-paved surfaces and can be used on sandy beaches or woodland tracks.

They're also the best buggies to be jogging with, as they provide excellent stability over rough terrain and help you keep pace with your jogging partner. They can also be used to go up and down steep kerbs and many of them come with spring suspension that is built-in, so your child will enjoy an enjoyable ride.

A 3-wheeled stroller isn't easy to maneuver due to its large frame. It can be more difficult to maneuver through narrow spaces and doorways than a 4-wheeler. However, some manufacturers have tackled this issue with clever design that lets the wheels flip up when not being used, which reduces their overall size and helps you navigate through doorways with ease.

If yes, look for a lie-flat positioning and whether the design is compatible with second seating and buggy boards (if you'd like to add a toddler onboard). Check if the buggy has a lie-flat feature and if it is compatible with second seat and buggy boards if you plan to bring a toddler along. Many 3-wheelers will fold flat and be upright when folded - handy if you have an insufficient car boot or only a little storage space at home. Some will require you to take out the front wheel before folding in order to fit in even more compact spaces.

Manoeuvrability

Three-wheeled buggies usually offer better manoeuvrability than pushchairs with four wheels. A majority of them have an swivelling wheel at the front, which allows you to control and change direction with only one hand. Some also come with a lockable front wheel that can provide security on more difficult terrain. Some models can be used with an additional seat or buggy board if you're planning to grow your family.

If you intend to remove your three-wheeled buggies from the roads that are asphalted, you should choose an option with pneumatic tyres. They can handle the most difficult terrain. These tyres may require regular pumping but will be far more durable than solid tyres and more likely to be puncture-proof. Look for a model with a lockable swivelling front wheel to aid you in navigating difficult surfaces.

A single front wheel can also be a reason that three-wheelers tend to be bulkier than four-wheeled buggies when folded. Make sure the model you choose can fit into the boot of your car and can be sat up if required. Some models can fold with one hand, and they're freestanding when collapsed, which will save space in car boot spaces that are smaller.

A well-constructed 3 wheel pushchair is able to cope with most terrain from busy main streets to tracks through woodlands. But it's important to consider what you'll be using for your day-to-day use. If you'll be doing the school run, it must be able to cope with steep slopes and kerbs. If you plan to jog on it, ensure it has a swivelling'stretch front wheel' that is locked. This will keep the ride in place.

Kath, a MFM reviewer, was able to determine that her stroller with three wheels was able to take on urban and rural walks. Kath said it could navigate cobbles, rough paths and bumpy pavements easily and was comfortable when running. It is also a good option for day trips because it has a lot of storage space. It comes with a large, spacious, zip-top covered basket and an extendable, 50+ UV hood. It is also able to be adapted for baby from birth with an adjustable seat that can be sat on or a carry cot, in addition to being compatible with the majority of popular second seats and buggy boards.

Fabric Sling Seat

The primary difference between a fabric sling versus a modular seat is that the fabric sling sits in the frame of the buggy instead of sitting on top as a modular seat would. This allows for a more ergonomically appropriate position for baby, which instantly delivers lower center of gravity that is at the proper height. This leads to a more comfortable push, a less hefty curb-pop (you don't have to exert as much effort and weight to lift the buggy off the curb) and more stability and balance.

These seats also have Sling fabrics that are simple to clean and durable. Developed specifically with the use of sling chairs in mind These fabrics are extremely UV-resistant and air-tight. They also have an excellent aging resistance and are very easy to clean with mild soap and water.

If you're a jogger, or are a fan of off-roading, a all terrain 3 wheeler will be more suitable than a 4-wheel buggy. These types have a bigger base they are more stable and have air-filled tyres that allow for smooth movement over rough terrain.

Modular Seat

Modular seating can be used to create a wide range of configurations that can be adapted to different seating needs. Whether it's a cozy setup for watching films or a large arrangement to entertain guests, modular seating is able to be adjusted easily. Many modular seating systems also come with removable cushion covers which make it easier to wash spills and stain.

Modular Seating can be designed to blend with existing decors or be a standout as an accent piece. You can choose from a range of colors, fabrics and shapes to create an elegant and modular seating design that fits your personal style. Modular seating also has many practical features, like storage compartments hidden from view for easy organization.

3 wheel parent facing pushchair-wheel buggies are more stable than 4-wheel strollers, making them ideal for off-road or all terrain adventures. The huge, highly maneuverable front wheel allows for agile and smooth motion, while the tyres are generally filled with air and have suspension, providing an excellent ride on the roughest of roads and trails. The wheels aren't as close to the ground on these pushchairs as they are with four wheeled pushchairs. This makes them ideal for walking uphill.

Parents who like to run and jog with their babies usually opt for strollers with three wheels because they are more agile and sleeker than their 4-wheel counterparts. The GB Upp XL for example features a sleek, burnished silver aluminium frame, with an easy one-hand fold as well as forward and rear facing seats, while the Babyzen Yoyo has an all black frame, a carrycot with the ability to lie flat in full, air-filled tyres and three recline positions.

Another excellent all-terrain choice is the incredibly light, extremely maneuverable and elegant Mountain Buggy Sport verso. The buggy will last from birth, with the carrycot, and will last until toddlerhood with the modular seat. All this is within the footprint of a single buggy.
