3 Wheeled Buggies

A 3-wheel buggy is great for off-road jogging and dealing with terrain that is bumpy, like woodland tracks. They are also easier to navigate between kerbs and up and down them as opposed to 4-wheel models.

Kath who is the editor of MadeForMums' reviews, tested one of these three-wheelers on tarmac, as well as on a variety of terrains. Check out her review here.

Stability

With four wheels and a centre of gravity that's balanced by weight of your child in the seat, 4-wheel buggies are generally considered to be more stable than 3-wheelers. But that doesn't mean that the three-wheel buggie isn't worth considering, as the majority of them are built to handle everything from rough terrain to busy high-streets.

For a buggy that's easy to handle and will not be a problem on bumpy roads, look for a model with large rear wheels and an adjustable front wheel that locks. These all-terrain buggies also have pneumatic tires that are perfect for handling non-paved surfaces. They can be used on sandy beaches and tracks in woodlands.

They are also excellent buggies to run with as they provide excellent stability in rough terrain and can aid you in staying with your running partner. They are also great for climbing and descending steep kerbs as well, and most of them come with suspension built-in that means your baby will be able to ride comfortably.

The one thing that can make a 3 wheel bassinet stroller-wheeled pushchair difficult to maneuver is the large frame, which can make it harder to fit through tight spaces and narrow doors 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 size and makes it easier to maneuver through doors.

You'll also need to think about whether the buggy you choose to use 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. If so, make sure it has the ability to lie flat and if the design is compatible with other seats and buggy boards (if you want to add an infant onboard). A lot of 3-wheelers fold flat, and then be stacked upright. This is a great option when you have limited space in your boot or limited storage at home. Some will require you to take out the front wheel when folding if you want it to fit into even more compact spaces.

Manoeuvrability

Three-wheeled buggies are more movable than strollers with four wheels. A lot of them feature a swivelling wheels on the front, which allows you to control and change direction with just one hand. Some also come with a lockable front wheels which gives you the stability you need on rough terrain. Some models can be used with an additional seat or buggy board if you're looking to grow your family.

If you're planning to take your three-wheeled vehicle off of roads, you should consider selecting a model that has tyres with air in them (also called pneumatic tyres) that can withstand the most challenging terrain. These tyres may require regular pumping but they'll be more durable than tyres that are solid 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 more bulkier than buggies with four wheels when folded. Check to see if the model you're considering fits in the boot of your car and can be stood up, if required. Some models fold with one hand, and can be rearranged when folded. This can help save space in small car boot.

A good 3 wheel pushchair can cope with all terrains, from busy high streets to tracks through woodlands. However, it is important to consider what you'll be using it for in the daytime. If you will be making the school run with it, it should be able handle the kerbs and steep slopes. If you intend to jog with it, make sure it has a swivelling "stretch front wheel' that can be locked. This will help keep the ride smooth.

Kath who is an MFM reviewer, found that her three-wheeled stroller was able to take on urban and rural walks. She said it could navigate rocky paths, cobbles, and bumpy pavements with ease and felt pleasant when jogging. It is also a good option for day trips because it is packed with storage space. It comes with an enormous, spacious, zip-top covered basket as well as an extended, 50+ UV hood. It can also be adapted to accommodate babies from birth using a lie-flat seat or carry cot, in addition to being compatible with a variety of popular second-seats and buggy boards.

Fabric Sling Seat

The primary difference between a fabric seat and a modular one is the fabric sling. It is placed inside the frame of the buggy, instead of being placed on top of it like an adjustable chair. This allows for a more comfortable and ergonomically-correct position for the baby, which results in a lower center of gravity that is the ideal height. This leads to a more comfortable push, a more light curb-pop (you don't have to exert the same effort and weight to lift the buggy off the curb) and improved balance and stability.

These seats also have Sling fabrics that are simple to clean and durable. These fabrics were designed specifically for the sling chair and are UV resistant and air-tight. They also have a great aging resistance and are very easy to clean using mild soap and water.

Modular Seat

Modular seating can be arranged in various ways to accommodate different seating requirements.

Many modular seating systems have cushions that can be removed, making it easy to clean up spills or stains.

3-wheel buggies are especially suitable for off-road and all terrain adventures because they offer more stability than 4-wheel strollers. The large front wheel that is extremely maneuverable allows for smooth and agile movement. The tyres that are typically air-filled and have suspension, give you a great ride on even the most rough roads and trails. They're also great for walking up hills since the wheels aren't as close to ground as they are on 4 wheel pushchairs.
