3 Wheeled Buggies

A 3-wheel buggy is used for off-road walking and for tackling terrain such as uneven paths or tracks in woodlands. They are also easier to maneuver up and down kerbs in comparison to 4-wheel models.

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

Stability

With four wheels and a center of gravity that's balanced by weight of your child's seat, 4-wheel buggies are generally thought to be more stable than three-wheelers. Three-wheel buggies are worth considering as they can take on anything from rough terrain to busy streets.

For a buggy that's really easy to handle and will not let you down on bumpy pavements, look for one with big rear facing 3 wheel stroller wheels and a lockable front wheel. These all-terrain buggies often have pneumatic tyres too, which are great at handling non-paved surfaces and can be used on sandy beaches or tracks in woodland.

They are also excellent buggies to run with since they offer excellent stability in rough terrain, and can help you stay with your running companion. They're also good at going up and down steep kerbs too and a majority come with suspension built-in that means your baby will enjoy a comfortable ride.

One factor that makes a 3-wheeled pushchair tricky to manoeuvre is the wide frame, which can make it harder to fit through tight spaces and narrow doors than a four-wheeler. However, some manufacturers have tackled this issue by implementing an innovative design that makes the wheels fold upwards when not in use, which reduces their overall size and helps you navigate through doorways easily.

You'll also need to consider whether your buggy is suitable for your child from birth or if you're planning on using it in conjunction with an infant car seat or carry cot. Make sure that the buggy has the ability to lie flat, and if it's compatible with second seat and buggy boards if you plan to bring your toddler along. A lot of 3-wheelers fold flat and be placed upright. This is great when you have limited space in your boot or have limited storage at home. However, some will require you to remove the front wheel when folding if you want it to fit in even more compact space.

Manoeuvrability

Three-wheeled buggies are more movable than strollers with four wheels. A majority of them have an swivelling wheel at the front that allows you to steer and change direction using one hand. Some models come with a lockable wheel that can offer stability on rough terrain. Certain models can be used with an additional seat or buggy board, if you plan to expand your family.

If you intend to take your three-wheeled buggies off the paved roads then you should opt for a model that has pneumatic tyres. They can handle even the most difficult terrain. These tyres will need periodic pumping, but will be far more durable than tyres that are solid and are more likely to be puncture-proof. You should look for one with an adjustable front wheel that is locked to assist you in navigating difficult surfaces.

A single front wheel can also indicate that three-wheelers can be more bulkier than buggies with four wheels when folded. Check that the model you choose can fit in the boot of your car and can be positioned upright if required. Some models can be folded by one hand, and can be raised when folded. This can save space in the boot of your car.

A quality three-wheel pushchair will take on any terrain from busy roads to forest tracks. It's important to think about the purpose you'll use it for day-to-day. If you're planning to run the school run, it must be able to handle steep kerbs and slopes. If you're planning to run on it, ensure it has a swiveling'stretch front wheel' that can be locked. This will help keep the ride stable.

Kath the MFM reviewer, found that her stroller on three wheels was able to handle both urban and rural walks. Kath said it negotiated rocky paths, cobbles and uneven pavements with ease and was comfortable to jog with too. It is also a good choice for day trips as it is packed with storage space. This includes an ample, spacious zip-top covered basket and an extended, 50+ UV hood. It can be adapted to fit a baby's needs from birth, with the option of a carry cot or a lying-flat seats. It is also compatible with the most popular stroller seats and second seats.

Fabric Sling Seat

The main difference between a fabric sling and a modular seat is that the fabric sling is placed in the frame of the buggy as opposed to sitting on top of it like a modular seat. This allows for a more comfortable and ergonomically-correct position for the baby, which results in a lower center of gravity that is just the right height. This leads to a smoother push, a more light curb-pop (you do not have to exert the same effort and weight to lift the buggy off the curb) and more stability and balance.

These buggy seats also feature Sling fabrics that are simple to clean and durable. Developed specifically with the use of sling chairs in mind, these fabrics are incredibly UV-resistant and extremely breathable. They also have a great anti-aging capability and are easy to clean with water and soap.

If you are a jogger, or like to do some off-roading, an all-terrain buggy is more likely to meet your needs than a four-wheel buggy. These types have a bigger base they are more stable and use air-filled tyres to provide smooth and easy movement on rough terrain.

A brand most well-known for its car seats, Maxi-Cosi has recently added a new 3-wheeler to its lineup with the Stella. This all-terrain vehicle has an impressive spacious and impressively growing travel system seat unit that can be a world-facing or parent face and reclines flat using a new 5-point safety harness.

It features a spacious cushioned seat that can be placed either with the with the child or in a world-facing position. It also has an upgraded 5-point harness and an entire set of rain covers.

Modular Seat

Modular seating can be configured in many ways to accommodate different seating needs. It doesn't matter if it's a comfortable setup to watch movies or a larger arrangement to entertain guests, modular seating can adjust easily. A lot of modular seating systems come with cushions that can be removed making it simple to clean up spills or stains.

Modular Seating can be designed to blend in with the existing decor or stand out as an accent piece. A variety of color, fabric and shape options ensures that you can choose a modular seating solution that is a perfect fit for your preferences. Modular seating also has various useful features, such as hidden storage compartments for easy organization.

3 wheel tandem stroller-wheel buggies are particularly good for off-road and all terrain adventures since they offer more stability than strollers with four wheels. The large front wheel, which is highly maneuverable, allows for smooth and quick movement. The tyres, which are typically air-filled and come with suspension, offer a comfortable ride on even the most rough roads and trails. The wheels aren't as close to the ground on these pushchairs as they would be on four wheeled pushchairs. This makes them perfect for walking uphill.

Often, 3-wheel prams are a popular choice for parents who enjoy running and jogging with their child, as they provide excellent agility and are less bulky than their 4 wheel counterparts. The GB Upp XL for example is a sleek and polished aluminium frame, with an easy fold that can be folded in one hand and forward and rear facing seats. 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.

Mountain Buggy Sport verso is another fantastic all-terrain choice. It's extremely lightweight and highly maneuverable. It's also incredibly fashionable. The buggy will last from birth, and comes with a carrycot, and will last until toddlerhood, with the seat that is modular. All this is within the footprint of a single buggy.
