3 Wheeled Buggies

A 3-wheel buggy is used for off-road walks and for tackling terrain such as uneven paths or woodland tracks. They can also be easier to maneuver around kerbs than 4-wheel models.

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

Stability

With four wheels and a centre of gravity that's balanced by the weight of your child's seat, buggies with four wheels are generally considered to be more stable than three-wheelers. But that doesn't mean the three-wheel buggie isn't worth considering, as the majority of these models are made to cope with everything from rough terrain to busy high streets.

Look for a buggy with large rear wheels and a lockable wheel on the front. This makes it easier to drive and less likely to break apart when you're on rough roads. These all-terrain buggies also come with pneumatic tires, which are ideal for handling unpaved surfaces. They are able to be used even on sandy beaches and tracks in woodlands.

They're also great buggies to jog with since they offer excellent stability on more rough terrain and aid you in staying with your running partner. They can also be used to go up and down steep kerbs and a lot of them have built-in spring suspension so your baby will have a comfortable ride.

A 3-wheeled stroller can be a challenge to maneuver due to its large frame. It can be more difficult to maneuver through doorways and narrow spaces than a 4-wheeler. Some manufacturers have solved this problem with an innovative design that flips the wheels upwards when they are not in use. This reduces their dimensions and makes it easier to fit through doors.

You'll also need to think about whether your buggy is suitable for your little one from birth, or if you're thinking of using it in conjunction with an infant car seat or carry cot. Make sure that the buggy has an option to lie flat and if it is compatible with a second seat and buggy boards if you plan to take your toddler along. A majority of 3-wheelers can fold flat, and later be stacked upright. This is great when you have limited space in your boot or have limited storage at home. Some 3-wheelers require you to take off the front wheel to fold them into smaller sizes.

Manoeuvrability

Three-wheeled buggies can be more maneuverable than strollers with four wheels. They usually have a swivelling wheel on the front that lets you change direction quickly and steer using only one hand. Some models also have a lockable front wheel which gives you security on more difficult terrain. Some models can be used with an additional buggy or seat, should you decide to grow your family.

If you're planning to take your three-wheeled vehicle off of paved tracks, it's worth choosing one equipped with tyres filled with air (also known as pneumatic tyres) that can withstand the toughest terrain. They may have to be regularly pumped up from time intervals, but they'll be more durable and puncture-proof than solid tyres. It is recommended to choose one with an adjustable front wheel that can be locked to help you navigate difficult terrains.

A single front wheel could indicate that three-wheelers can be bulkier than four-wheeled buggies when folded. Check to see if the model you're considering can fit into the boot of your car and can be sat up in the event that it is needed. Some models can be folded with one hand, and can be raised when folded. This can save space in the boot of your car.

A quality 3 wheel pushchair will be able to deal with any terrain, from busy high streets to woodland tracks. It's important to think about what you'll be using it for every day. If you'll be running 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 a lockable swivelling'stretch' front wheel to ensure that the ride is safe.

Kath the MFM reviewer, discovered that her stroller with three wheels was able to handle both urban and walks in the countryside. Kath noted that it could navigate rocky paths, cobbles and uneven pavements easily and was comfortable while running. It's also a great choice for day trips, as it offers plenty of storage space, including a large and spacious basket that has a zip-top cover and an expandable 50+ UV hood. It can also 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 a variety of popular second-seats and buggy boards.

Fabric Sling Seat

The main difference between a fabric sling versus a modular seats is that the fabric sling fits in the frame of the buggy rather than being positioned on top as a modular seat would. This allows for a more ergonomically appropriate position for the baby, resulting in a lower center of gravity, which is the ideal height. This leads to a more comfortable push, a less hefty curb-pop (you don't need 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 easy to clean and durable. These fabrics were specifically designed for sling chairs and are extremely UV-resistant and air-tight. They also have an excellent anti-aging capability and are easy to clean with water and soap.

If you're a jogger, or enjoy a bit of off-roading, an all terrain 3 wheeler will be more suitable than a buggy with four wheels. These models have a larger base, are more stable and use air-filled tyres to provide smooth, easy mobility over rough terrain.
