3 Wheeled Buggies

A 3-wheel buggy can be used for off-road walks and for tackling terrain such as uneven paths or tracks in woodlands. They are also easier to move on kerbs, and they are less prone to slipping down when in comparison to 4-wheel models.

MadeForMums reviews editor Kath tried one of these three-wheelers with her newborn and three year old, and put it through its paces on asphalt and on the muddy ground. Read her review here.

Stability

Four-wheel buggies, which have their center of gravity being balanced by the weight of your child in the seat are generally more stable than three-wheelers. Three-wheel buggies are nevertheless worthwhile to consider as they are able to handle everything from rough terrain to busy streets.

Look for a buggy with large rear wheels and one that locks on the front. This will make it easier to drive and less likely to snap apart on rough roads. These all-terrain buggies often have pneumatic tyres, too. They are great at handling surfaces that aren't paved and can be used on sandy beaches or tracks in woodland.

These are also the best buggies for jogging with, as they offer great stability over rougher ground and help you keep pace with your jogging partner. They can also go up and down steep kerbs and many of them come with spring suspension built-in so that your baby can enjoy an enjoyable ride.

The one factor that makes a pushchair with three wheels difficult to maneuver is the large frame, which can make it harder to fit through tight spaces and narrow doorways than a 4-wheeler. Some manufacturers have addressed this issue by using a clever design which turns the wheels upside down when they are not in use. This reduces their size and makes it easier to maneuver through doors.

If yes, make sure to check for a lie-flat positioning and whether the design is compatible with second seats and buggy boards (if you plan to bring the toddler). Make sure that the buggy has a lie-flat feature and if it is compatible with second seat and buggy boards, if you are planning to take your toddler along. Many 3-wheelers can fold flat, and then be stacked upright. This is great when you have an unwieldy boot space or have limited storage at home. However, some will require you to take out the front wheel prior to folding if you wish to fit in even smaller space.

Manoeuvrability

Three-wheeled buggies are more maneuverable than four-wheeled strollers. They often have a swivelling wheel on the front that allows you to shift direction quickly and steer with just one hand. Some also have a lockable front wheel that can provide the stability you need on rough terrain. Certain models can be used with an additional seat or buggy board if you plan to expand your family.

If you are planning to remove your three-wheeled buggies from the paved roads it is recommended to choose one with pneumatic tyres. They can handle even the most difficult terrain. They will require pumping up occasionally but will be far more durable than solid tyres and more likely to be puncture-proof. Look for a model with an adjustable swivelling front wheel that locks to help you negotiate tricky surfaces.

Having a single front wheel may also mean that three-wheelers tend to be bulkier than four-wheeled buggies when folded. Check to see if the model you're considering can fit into the boot of your vehicle and can be sat up should it be necessary. Certain models can be folded using one hand and stand up when collapsed. This can save space in the boot of your car.

A good three-wheel pushchair can take on any terrain from busy streets to forest tracks. It is important to consider how you will use it every day. If you will be making the school run with it, it must be able to handle sharp slopes and kerbs. If you'll be running on it, check that it has an adjustable lockable swivelling'stretch' for the front wheel to ensure that the ride is steady.

Kath who is an MFM reviewer, was able to determine that her stroller with three wheels was able to handle both urban and walks in the countryside.

Fabric Sling Seat

The primary difference between a fabric and a modular one is the fabric sling. It sits inside the buggy frame, instead of being placed on top like a modular chair. This allows for a more ergonomically-correct position for baby, which instantly delivers lower center of gravity at the right height. This leads to a smoother push, a lighter curb-pop (you don't need to exert the same effort and weight to lift the buggy off the curb) and improved balance and stability.

These buggy seats also feature Sling fabrics that are simple to clean and durable. Made specifically for the use of sling chairs in mind they are UV resistant and air-tight. They also have excellent durability and are easy to clean using water and soap.
