3 Wheeled Buggies

A 3 wheeler strollers-wheel buggy is great for off-road jogging and taking on terrains, from bumpy pavements to woodland tracks. They can also be easier to maneuver around kerbs than 4-wheel models.

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

Stability

Four-wheel buggies with their center of gravity being balanced by your child's weight in the seat, are typically more stable than three-wheelers. However, that doesn't mean a three-wheel buggy isn't worth a look, since some of these models are made to withstand anything from rough terrain to busy high-streets.

If you want a buggie that is easy to maneuver and will not be a problem on bumpy roads, look for one with big rear wheels and an adjustable front wheel that locks. These all-terrain buggies typically have pneumatic tyres, too. They are great at handling uneven surfaces and can even be used on sandy beaches or woodland tracks.

They are also the best buggies for running with, since they provide great stability on rough terrain and help you keep up with your running partner. They are also great for climbing and down steep kerbs as well Most buggies come with suspension built-in which means your child will enjoy a comfortable ride.

One thing that makes a pushchair with three wheels difficult to manoeuvre is the wide frame, which makes it difficult to squeeze into narrow spaces and tight doors than a 4-wheeler. Some manufacturers have solved this issue with an innovative design that flips the wheels up when they are not being used. This reduces their size and makes them easier to fit through doorways.

You'll also need to think about whether the double buggy 3 wheels you choose to use is suitable for your baby from birth or if you're thinking of using it with an infant car seat or carry cot. Check if the buggy has a lie-flat feature and if it is compatible with a second seat as well as buggy boards if you intend to bring a toddler along. Many 3-wheelers fold flat and be stood upright when collapsed and is handy if you have an insufficient car boot or only a little storage space at home. Certain 3-wheelers require you to take off the front wheel to fold them into smaller sizes.

Manoeuvrability

Three-wheeled buggies generally offer better manoeuvrability than four-wheeled pushchairs. Many of them have a swivelling wheel on the front, which allows you to steer and change direction using only one hand. Certain models come with locks on the wheel to give you stability on more rough terrain. Certain models can be used with an additional buggy or seat, if you plan to expand your family.

If you're thinking of taking your three-wheeled vehicle off of tracks that are paved, it's worth choosing one with air-filled tyres (also known as pneumatic tyres) which are able to withstand the most difficult terrain. These tyres will need pumping up occasionally but will be far more durable than tyres made of solid rubber and more likely to be puncture-proof. You should choose one with an adjustable front wheel that is locked to assist you in navigating difficult terrains.

Having a single front wheel can also be a reason that three-wheelers tend to be more bulkier than buggies with four wheels when folded. Make sure the model you pick fits inside your car's boot and can be set up in a straight line if needed. Some models fold by one hand, and they can be raised when folded. This can help save space in a small car boot.

A good three-wheel pushchair can be used on all terrains, from busy streets to forest tracks. But it's important to consider the purpose you'll use for your day-to-day use. If you'll be doing the school run with it, it should be able handle steep slopes and kerbs. If you plan to jog on it, ensure it has a swivelling "stretch front wheel' that is locked. This will keep the ride smooth.

MFM reviewer Kath found her three-wheeled buggy was able to handle well with urban and countryside walks. She said that it navigated cobbles, rough paths and uneven pavements with ease and felt pleasant to jog with. It's also a great choice for day trips as it is packed with storage space. This includes an ample, spacious zip-top basket that is covered and an extended 50+ UV hood. It can also be modified to accommodate babies from birth using a lie-flat seat or carry cot, as well as being compatible with most popular second-seats and buggy boards.

Fabric Sling Seat

The primary difference between a fabric seat and a modular seat is the fabric sling. It sits inside the frame of the buggy, as opposed to being placed on top like a modular chair. This makes it easier to maintain an ergonomically correct position of the baby, which results in a lower center of gravity, which is just the right height. This in turn makes for an easier push, a less hefty curb pop (you do not require the same amount of effort and weight to lift the buggy off the curb's nose) and better balance and stability.

The sling fabric used in these types of buggy seats are also very hard-wearing and easy to clean. Made specifically for the use of sling chairs in mind These fabrics are extremely UV-resistant and air-tight. They are also easy to maintain using mild soap and warm water.

If you're a jogger or like to do some off-roading, an all-terrain buggy is more likely to meet your requirements than a four-wheeled buggy. These styles are generally larger, more stable base and utilise tyres with air to allow for smooth and agile movement on rough ground.

Modular Seat

Modular seating can be easily adjusted to create a relaxing setting for watching movies, or a spacious arrangement to entertain guests. Many modular seating systems also come with removable cushion covers which make it easier to clean spills and stains.

3-wheel buggies are more stable than strollers with four wheels, making them ideal for off-road or all-terrain adventures. The large, highly manoeuvrable front wheel enables agile and smooth motion, while the tyres are typically air filled and have suspension, which gives you a great ride on the roughest roads and trails. The wheels aren't as close to the ground on these pushchairs, as they are with four wheeled pushchairs. This makes them perfect for walking uphill.

Parents who like to run and jog with their babies often choose 3-wheel prams because they are more nimble and sleeker than their four-wheel counterparts.
