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 more easy to maneuver up and down kerbs than models with four wheels. Kath, the editor of MadeForMums reviews, has tested one of these 3-wheelers on tarmac as well as on various terrains. You can read her full review here. Stability Four-wheel buggies, which have their centre of gravity balancing by your child's weight within the seat, are typically more stable than three-wheelers. But that doesn't mean an older model with three wheels isn't worth a look, since the majority of these models are made to handle anything from rough terrain to busy high streets. If you want a buggie that is easy to handle and won't fall over on bumpy roads, look for one with large rear wheels and a lockable front wheel. These all-terrain buggies typically have pneumatic tyres, too. They are ideal for handling surfaces that aren't paved and can even be used on sandy beaches or tracks in woodland. They are also excellent buggies to run with since they offer excellent stability on more rough terrain and aid you in staying with your running partner. They're also good at climbing and down steep kerbs too, and most of them have a built-in suspension which means your child will enjoy a comfortable ride. The main thing that makes a 3-wheeled pushchair difficult to maneuver is the broad frame, which can make it difficult to squeeze through tight spaces and narrow doorways than a 4-wheeler. However certain manufacturers have addressed this issue with a clever design that makes the wheels turn up when not in use, which decreases their overall size and helps you navigate through doorways without difficulty. If yes, make sure to check for a lie-flat location and if the design is compatible with second seats and buggy boards (if you want to add an infant onboard). Find out if the buggy comes with the ability to lie flat, and if it's compatible with a second seat and buggy boards if you intend to bring a toddler along. Many 3-wheelers fold flat and be positioned upright when collapsed – handy if you have limited space in your car boot or a small storage space at home. Some 3-wheelers require you take off the front wheel to fold them into smaller spaces. Manoeuvrability Three-wheeled buggies are more movable than strollers with four wheels. Many of them have a swivelling wheels on the front, which allows you to control and change direction with only one hand. Some also come with a lockable front wheel which can give you stability on rougher terrain. Some models can even be used with a second seat or buggy board in case you're planning to expand your family. If you intend to take your three-wheeled buggies off the roads that are paved it is recommended to choose an option that has pneumatic tyres. They can handle the most difficult 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. It is recommended to choose models with a swiveling front wheel that is locked to assist you on tricky surfaces. Having a single front wheel may also indicate that three-wheelers can 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 raised if required. Some models fold using one hand, and they can be raised when folded. This can help save space in small car boot. A quality 3 wheel pushchair can cope with most terrain from busy main streets to tracks through woodlands. However, it is 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 kerbs and slopes. If you're planning to run with it, make sure it has a swivelling “stretch front wheel' that can be locked. This will help keep the ride in place. MFM reviewer Kath found her three-wheeled buggy to be able to perform well on both the countryside and urban walks. She said that it navigated rocky paths, cobbles and bumpy pavements effortlessly and was comfortable to run with too. It's also a great option for day trips, as it comes with plenty of storage space, including a huge and spacious basket that has a zip-top cover as well as an extendable 50+ UV hood. It can be modified to fit a baby's needs from birth, with an infant carry cot or a lie-flat seat. It is also compatible with the most popular stroller seats and second seats. Fabric Sling Seat The main difference between a fabric and a modular seat is the fabric sling. It sits inside the frame of the buggy, rather than being positioned on top of it like a modular chair. This allows for a more comfortable and ergonomically-correct position for the baby, leading to a lower center of gravity at the ideal height. This leads to a more comfortable push, a lighter curb-pop (you don't have to exert as much effort and weight to lift the buggy off the curb) and more stability and balance. The sling fabrics that are used in these kinds of buggy seats are very hard-wearing and easy to clean. These fabrics were specifically designed for the sling chair and are UV resistant and breathable. These fabrics are also very easy to maintain with mild soap and warm water. If you're a jogger or like to do some off-roading, an all terrain 3 wheeler could be more your bag than a 4-wheel buggy. These models are generally larger base, more stable and utilise tyres with air to allow for smooth and agile moving over rough terrain. A brand that is most famous for its car seats, Maxi-Cosi has recently added the latest 3-wheeler to its lineup with the Stella. This all-terrain stroller boasts an enormous and spacious seat unit for the travel system that can be positioned either parent or world facing. 3 wheeler pushchair reclines flat and has an upgraded 5-point safety belt. It can be used as a baby with an infant car seat or carrycot and comes with a decently size shopping basket and hood with zip pockets, and a simple one-hand fold. This 3 wheeler of luxury is designed for the most discerning buggy owner is as gorgeous to admire as it is to use. The angular frame features stunning pewter finish and accents of burnished aluminium. It's a true show-stopper. A big, padded seat that is world or parent facing with an improved 5-point safety harness as well as an entire set of rain covers makes this a great choice for active parents. Modular Seat Modular seating offers a wide range of configurations that can be adapted to different seating requirements. It doesn't matter if it's a comfortable setup for watching movies or a larger configuration to entertain guests, modular seating is able to be adjusted easily. Many modular seating systems have removable cushions, making it easy to clean up spills or stain. Modular Seating can be designed to blend with existing decor or make a statement as an accent piece. A wide range of fabrics, colors, and shape options means that you will find a modular seating solution that fits your taste. Many functional features are available in modular seating such as hidden storage compartments that allow simple organization and clearing of living spaces. 3-wheel buggies are more stable than 4-wheel strollers, making them ideal for off-road or all terrain adventures. The large front wheel, which is highly maneuverable, allows for smooth and quick movement. The tyres, which are typically filled with air and have suspension, give you a great ride on even the most rough roads and trails. They are also ideal for walking up hills as the wheels aren't as close to the ground as they are on 4 wheel pushchairs. Often 3-wheel prams are favorite for parents who love running and jogging with their children as they offer great agility and are less bulky than their 4 wheel counterparts. The GB Upp XL for example features a sleek, burnished silver aluminium frame, with an easy one-hand fold as well as forward and rear facing seats. Meanwhile, the Babyzen Yoyo has an all black frame, a carrycot that has a fully lie-flat position air-filled tyres, and 3 recline positions. Another excellent all-terrain option is the incredibly lightweight, highly maneuverable and elegant Mountain Buggy Sport verso. This is a buggy that is truly future-proof for your wallet and can take you from birth using the carrycot, all the way to toddlerhood with the seat that can be rearranged (and beyond!). All of this is done within the footprint of one buggy. The most recent model, duet™, is a side-by-side vehicle that's small enough for urban living yet big on innovation and control. It comes with a unique fabric sling seat that's positioned comfortably inside the frame and at the perfect height for perfect weight distribution for easy rolling over kerbs, and for navigating neighborhoods and cities.
