3 Wheeled Buggies

A 3-wheel buggy is great for off-road walking & dealing with terrain from bumpy pavements to woodland tracks. They are also easier to manoeuvre up and down kerbs than models with four wheels.

Kath who is the editor of MadeForMums reviews, tried one of these three-wheelers on tarmac and on various terrains. You can read her review here.

Stability

With four wheels and a center of gravity that's balanced by weight of your child in the seat, 4-wheel buggies are generally thought to be more stable than triwheelers. But that doesn't mean that the three-wheel buggie isn't worth considering, since the majority of these models are made to withstand anything from rough terrain to bustling high streets.

If you want a buggie that is easy to maneuver and will not fall over on bumpy roads, look for a model with large rear wheels and a lockable front wheel. 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 through woodlands.

They are also the best buggies to be jogging with, as they provide great stability on rough terrain and can aid in keeping up with your jogging partner. They can also be used to go up and down steep kerbs, and many of them have spring suspension built-in so that your child will enjoy a comfortable ride.

A stroller with three wheels can be difficult to maneuver due to its large frame. It can be more difficult to get through doorways and narrow spaces than a 4-wheeler. However certain manufacturers have addressed this issue with clever design that lets the wheels fold up when they are not in use, which reduces their overall size and helps you navigate through doorways with ease.

It's also important 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. Make sure that the buggy has a lie-flat feature and if it's compatible with a second seat as well as buggy boards, if you are planning to bring your toddler along. Many 3 wheel infant stroller-wheelers will fold flat and can be positioned upright when collapsed which is useful if you have a an insufficient car boot or only a little storage space at home. Certain 3 wheel compact stroller-wheelers require you to remove the front wheel in order to fold them into smaller spaces.

Manoeuvrability

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

If you intend to take your three-wheeled buggies off the paved roads, you should choose an option with pneumatic tyres. They can handle the most difficult terrain. These tyres may need to be filled from time to intervals, but they'll be more durable and puncture-proof than solid tyres. You should look for a model that has an swiveling front wheel that can be locked to assist you on difficult terrains.

Having a single front wheel may also mean that three-wheelers tend to be more bulkier than buggies with four wheels when folded. Check that the model you pick fits inside your car's boot and can be positioned upright if needed. Some models are able to fold in one hand, and they're freestanding when collapsed, which can save space in boot spaces that are smaller.

A quality three-wheel pushchair 3 wheels will be used on all terrains from busy streets to forest tracks. 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 should be able to handle steep slopes and kerbs. If you'll be jogging with it, make sure it has an adjustable swivelling'stretch' lockable front wheel to keep the ride safe.

MFM reviewer Kath found her three-wheeled buggy to be able to perform well on both rural and urban walks. Kath noted that it could navigate cobbles, rocky paths, and bumpy 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 huge, spacious basket with zip-top cover and an expandable 50+ UV hood. It is also able to be adapted to accommodate babies from birth using a lie-flat seat or a carry cot, in addition to being compatible with most popular second-seats and buggy boards.

Fabric Sling Seat

The main difference between a fabric sling and a modular seats is that the fabric sling fits in the frame of the buggy instead of sitting on top like a modular seat would. This allows for a more ergonomically appropriate position for the baby, leading to a lower center of gravity at the ideal height. This results in an easier push, a less hefty curb pop (you do not require as much weight and effort to pop the buggy over the nose of a curb) and a better balance and stability.

The sling fabrics that are used in these types of buggy seats are also very hard-wearing and easy to clean. They were designed specifically with sling chair applications in mind These fabrics are extremely UV resistant and breathable. They also have an excellent durability and are easy to clean with water and soap.

If you're a jogger or like to do some off-roading, an all-terrain 3 wheeler could be more suited to your needs than a buggy with four wheels. These types generally have a larger, more stable base and use air-filled tyres to ensure smooth, easy movement on rough ground.

Modular Seat

Modular seating can be used to create an array of configurations to meet different seating requirements.

A lot of modular seating systems have removable cushions which makes it easy to clean spills or stain.

3-wheel buggies are particularly good for off-road and all-terrain adventures since they offer more stability than strollers with four wheels. The large, highly manoeuvrable front wheel allows for agile and smooth movement, whilst the tyres are typically air-filled and feature suspension, allowing for a smooth ride on even the most difficult roads and trails. They are also ideal for walking up hills since the wheels aren't as close ground as they are on four wheel pushchairs.

Parents who love to run and jog with their babies usually opt for strollers with three wheels because they're more agile and sleeker than their 4-wheel counterparts. The GB Upp XL for example is a sleek and polished aluminum frame, 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.

Another great all-terrain option is the lightweight, highly manoeuvrable and amazingly elegant Mountain Buggy Sport verso. The buggy will last from birth, and comes with a carrycot included, to toddlerhood with the adjustable seat. This is all done within the footprint of just one buggy.
