3 Wheeled Buggies

A 3-wheel buggy is perfect for off-roading and taking on terrains, from bumpy pavements to woodland tracks. They can also be easier to manoeuvre up and down kerbs than models with four wheels.

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

Stability

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

Choose a buggy that has large rear wheels, and a lockable wheel on the front. This will make it easier to drive and less likely to snap off when driving on bumpy roads. These buggies for all-terrain use also have pneumatic tires, which are perfect for handling non-paved surfaces. They can be used even on sandy beaches and tracks through woodlands.

They're also great buggies to jog with because they provide great stability on rougher terrain, and can aid you in staying with your running partner. They can also be used to go up and down steep kerbs, and many of them come with spring suspension that is built-in, so your baby can enjoy an enjoyable ride.

A stroller with three wheels can be a challenge to maneuver because of its wide frame. It can be more difficult to maneuver through narrow spaces and doorways than a 4-wheeler. However some manufacturers have solved this issue by implementing a clever design that makes the wheels flip upwards when not in use, which reduces their overall size and helps you get through doors with ease.

If so, check for a lie-flat position and also whether the design is compatible with second seats and buggy boards (if you plan to bring an infant onboard). If so, make sure it has the ability to lie flat and if the design is compatible with second-seats and buggy boards (if you're planning to put a toddler onboard). Many 3 wheel stroller and car seat-wheelers can fold flat, and later be put up in a upright position. This is a great option for those with limited space in your boot or a small amount of storage space at home. Certain 3-wheelers require you to remove the front wheel to fold into smaller spaces.

Manoeuvrability

Three-wheeled buggies can be more maneuverable than strollers with four wheels. They often have a swivelling front wheel that allows you to shift direction quickly and steer using only one hand. Some models come with locks on the wheel to provide stability on rougher terrain. Certain models can be used with an additional seat or buggy board, should you decide to grow your family.

If you're thinking of taking your three-wheeled bike off the tracks that are paved, it's worth selecting a model equipped with tyres filled with air (also called pneumatic tyres) which are able to withstand the toughest terrain. These tyres may need to be filled from time to the point, but they will be more durable and puncture-proof than solid tyres. You should look for one with a swiveling front wheel that can be locked to assist you in navigating tricky surfaces.

A single front wheel could be a reason that three-wheelers tend to be more bulkier than buggies with four wheels when folded. Be sure that the model you select fits inside your car's boot and can be placed upright if required. Some models can fold with one hand and are freestanding when collapsed. This can make them more compact in car boot spaces that are smaller.

A good three-wheel pushchair can handle most terrains from busy streets to forest tracks. But it's important to consider the purpose you'll use it for day-to-day. If you'll be running the school run, it should be able to handle steep slopes and kerbs. If you're planning to run on it, ensure it has a swiveling'stretch front wheel' that can be locked. This will keep the ride smooth.

Kath who is an MFM reviewer, was able to determine that her stroller on three wheels was able to take on urban and rural walks. She noted that it could navigate cobbles, rocky paths and bumpy pavements effortlessly and was comfortable to run with. It's also a great option for day trips, as it has plenty of storage space, including a large, spacious basket with zip-top cover and an extendable 50+ UV hood. It is also able to be adapted to accommodate babies from birth using a lie-flat seat or carry cot, as well as being compatible with a variety of popular second seats and buggy boards.

Fabric Sling Seat

The primary distinction between a fabric and a modular one is the fabric sling. It sits inside the frame of the buggy, rather than being positioned on top of it like the modular chair. This allows for a more ergonomically appropriate position for baby that instantly gives an lower centre of gravity that is at the proper height. This results in an easier push, a lighter curb pop (you don't require as much weight and effort to push the buggy over the curb's edge) and a better stability and balance.

These buggy seats also feature Sling fabrics that are simple to clean and durable. Made specifically for applications for sling chairs in mind they are UV resistant and air-tight. They also have a great durability and are easy to clean using mild soap and water.

If you're a jogger or you like off-roading, an all terrain buggy is more suited to your requirements than a four-wheeled buggy. These types have a bigger base they are more stable and have air-filled tyres that allow for smooth, easy mobility over rough terrain.

A brand that is most famous for its car seats, Maxi-Cosi has recently added an all-new 3-wheeler to its range with the Stella.

Modular Seat

Modular seating can be arranged in many ways to meet different seating needs. It doesn't matter if it's a comfortable setup for watching movies or a spacious arrangement to entertain guests, modular seating is able to be adjusted easily. Many modular seating systems have cushion covers that can be removed which make it easier to clean up spills and staining.

Modular Seating is available in different designs to complement your current decor or as an accent piece. A wide range of fabrics, colors and shape options ensures that you will find a modular seating solution that is a perfect fit for your preferences. Many functional features are available in modular seating like hidden storage compartments that allow for simple organization and clearing of living spaces.

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

Parents who love to run and jog with their kids usually opt for strollers with three wheels because they are more nimble and sleeker than their four-wheel counterparts. The GB Upp XL for example has a sleek burnished silver aluminum frame, an easy fold that can be folded in one hand and rear and forward facing seats. Meanwhile, the Babyzen Yoyo has an all black frame, a carrycot that has a the ability to lie flat in full air-filled tyres, and 3 wheeler pushchair recline positions.

Another fantastic all-terrain option is the incredibly light, extremely maneuverable and stylish Mountain Buggy Sport verso. This is a buggy that will truly protect your wallet from the future and can take you from birth using the carrycot all the way to toddlerhood with the modular seat (and beyond!). All this is within the footprint of a single buggy.
