3 Wheeled Buggies

A 3-wheeler can be utilized for off-road trails and to tackle terrain from bumpy pavements or woodland tracks. They are also simpler to maneuver between kerbs and up and down them as opposed to 4-wheel models.

Kath who is the editor of MadeForMums reviews, tried one of these three-wheelers on tarmac as well as on a variety of terrains. You can read her full review here.

Stability

Four-wheel buggies, with their center of gravity being balanced by the weight of your child in the seat, are generally more stable than three-wheelers. However, that doesn't mean an older model with three wheels isn't worth considering, since the majority of these models are designed to handle everything from rough terrain to busy high-streets.

For a buggy that's really easy to handle and won't be a problem on bumpy pavements, look for one with large rear wheels and a lockable front wheel. These all-terrain buggies also have pneumatic tires that are ideal for handling unpaved surfaces. They are able to be used even on sandy beaches and tracks through woodlands.

They are also the best buggies to be running around in, as they offer great stability over rougher ground and help you keep pace with your jogging partner. They are also great for climbing and descending steep kerbs too and a majority come with suspension built-in which means your child will have a pleasant ride.

The one thing that makes a 3-wheeled pushchair 3 wheels tricky to maneuver is the broad frame, which can make it more difficult to maneuver through narrow and tight doors than a four-wheeler. Some manufacturers have solved this problem with a clever design which flips the wheels upwards when they are not in use. This reduces their size and makes them easier to fit through doors.

It's also important to think about whether the buggy you choose to use is suitable for your little one from birth, or if you're thinking of using it with an infant car seat or carry cot. Check if the buggy has an option to lie flat and if it's compatible with a second seat and buggy boards if you plan to bring a toddler along. Many 3-wheelers can fold flat, and then be put up in a upright position. This is a good option for those with limited space in your boot or limited storage at home. Certain 3-wheelers require you to take off the front wheel to fold them into smaller sizes.

Manoeuvrability

Three-wheeled buggies are more maneuverable than strollers with four wheels. A lot of them feature a swivelling wheel on the front which allows you to steer and change direction using only one hand. Some models have wheels that lock to offer stability on rough terrain. Certain models can be used with an additional buggy or seat, should you decide to grow your family.

If you're thinking of taking your three-wheeled buggy off tracks that are paved, it's worth selecting a model that has tyres with air in them (also called pneumatic tyres) that can withstand the toughest terrain. These tyres may need to be pumped up from time to the point, but they will be more durable and puncture-proof than solid tyres. Choose a model that has a the ability to lock the swivelling wheel on the front to assist you in maneuvering difficult surfaces.

When folded, three-wheelers can be more bulky than buggies with four wheels because of the single front wheel. Be sure that the model you pick can fit in the boot of your car and can be placed upright if required. Some models can be folded with just one hand and are freestanding when collapsed, which can save space in smaller car boots.

A quality three-wheel pushchair will be used on all terrains from busy roads to forest tracks. But it's important to consider what you'll be using it for in the daytime. If you will be making the school run with it, it must be able to handle steep slopes and kerbs. If you intend to jog with it, make sure it has a swivelling'stretch front wheel' that is locked. This will help keep the ride in place.

Kath who is an MFM reviewer, was able to determine that her three-wheeled stroller was able to handle urban and walks in the countryside. Kath noted that it could navigate rocky paths, cobbles and bumpy pavements easily and was comfortable while running. It's also a great choice for day trips as it is packed with storage space. This includes a large, spacious, zip-top covered basket as well as an expandable, 50+ UV hood. It can also be adapted to fit babies as young as an adjustable seat that can be sat on or a carry cot, in addition to being compatible with the majority of popular second-seats and buggy boards.

Fabric Sling Seat

The primary difference between a fabric and a modular seat is the fabric sling. It sits inside the frame of the buggy, instead of being placed on top like the modular chair. This enables a much more ergonomically appropriate position for babies that instantly gives lower center of gravity and a more appropriate height. This in turn makes for an easier push, a lighter curb pop (you don't need the same amount of effort and weight to push the buggy over the nose of a curb) and a better stability and balance.

These buggy seats also feature Sling fabrics that are simple to clean and durable. These fabrics were developed specifically for sling chairs and are extremely UV-resistant and ventilated. These fabrics are also very easy to maintain using mild soap and warm water.

If you're a jogger, or are a fan of off-roading, an all-terrain 3 wheeler will be more suited to your needs than a 4-wheel buggy. These types generally have a larger base, more stable, and utilise tyres with air to ensure smooth, easy moving over rough terrain.

A brand best known for its car seats, Maxi-Cosi has recently added an all-new small 3 wheel stroller-wheeler to its lineup with the Stella.

This 3 wheel double buggy wheeler of luxury, designed for the most discerning buggy owner, is as beautiful to look at as it is to use.

A spacious, cushioned seat that can be world or parent-facing, with an improved 5-point safety harness, as well as a full set of rain covers makes this a great option for parents who are active.

Modular Seat

Modular seating can be set up in a variety of ways to accommodate different seating requirements. If you want a cozy setting to watch movies or a spacious configuration to entertain guests, modular seating is able to adjust easily. Many modular seating systems come with removable cushions which makes it easy to clean spills or stains.

Modular Seating can be designed to blend in with the existing decor or stand out as an accent piece. You can pick from a wide variety of colors, fabrics and shapes to create a modular seating that suits your personal style. Various functional features are also available in modular seating, such as hidden storage compartments that permit an easy organization and cleaning of living spaces.

3-wheel buggies offer more stability than 4-wheel strollers, making them ideal for off-road or all terrain adventures. The huge, highly maneuverable front wheel allows for agile and smooth movement, whilst the tyres are usually filled with air and have suspension, allowing for a smooth ride on even the roughest of trails and roads. 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 kids typically opt for 3-wheel strollers because they're more agile and sleeker than their four-wheel counterparts. The GB Upp XL, for instance, is a sleek burnished aluminium frame that has a simple one-handed fold, rear-facing and forward-facing seats. The Babyzen Yoyo, on the other hand, comes with black frames with a carrycot that can be placed in a fully lie-flat position and air-filled tyres.

Another fantastic all-terrain choice is the incredibly lightweight, highly manoeuvrable and amazingly elegant Mountain Buggy Sport verso. The buggy will last from birth, with the carrycot and toddlerhood with the modular seat. All this is within the footprint of one buggy.
