3 Wheeled Buggies

A 3 wheel stroller with bassinet-wheeler can be used for off-road walks and for tackling terrain such as rough roads or tracks in woodlands. They are also simpler to maneuver between kerbs and up and down them in comparison to 4-wheel models.

MadeForMums reviews editor Kath tried one of these three-wheelers with her newborn and three year old, and put it through its paces on tarmac and on tricky ground. Check out her review here.

Stability

Four-wheel buggies, with their centre of gravity balancing by the weight of your child in the seat, are typically more stable than three-wheelers. Three-wheel buggies are still worth considering since they can handle anything from rough terrain to busy streets.

For a buggy that's really easy to maneuver and will not fall over on bumpy roads, look for one with big rear wheels and an adjustable front wheel that locks. These all-terrain buggies often have pneumatic tyres too, which are excellent for handling non-paved surfaces and can even be used on sandy beaches or tracks in woodland.

They're also excellent buggies to run with as they provide excellent stability in rough terrain, and can aid you in staying with your running companion. They can also be used to go up and down steep kerbs, and a lot of them come with spring suspension built-in so that your baby will have a smooth ride.

A 3-wheeled stroller can be a challenge to maneuver due to its large frame. It is more difficult to get through narrow spaces and doorways than a 4-wheeler. However, some manufacturers have tackled this issue by implementing clever design that lets the wheels flip up when they are not in use, which decreases their overall size and allows you get through doors with ease.

If yes, look for a lie-flat position and if the design is compatible with second seating and buggy boards (if you plan to bring an infant onboard). If so, make sure it has a lie-flat position and whether the design is compatible with other seats and buggy boards (if you're planning to put an infant onboard). Many 3 wheel tandem stroller-wheelers will fold flat and be upright when folded which is useful if you have a a small car boot or a small storage space at home. However, some require you to take out the front wheel when folding if you want it to fit in even more compact spaces.

Manoeuvrability

Three-wheeled buggies are more movable than strollers with four wheels. Many of them have a swivelling wheels on the front that allows you to steer and change direction with one hand. Some models come with wheels that lock to offer stability on rough terrain. Some models can even be used with a second seat or buggy board if you're planning to grow your family.

If you intend to take your three-wheeled buggies off the roads that are paved it is recommended to choose one with pneumatic tyres. They can handle even the most difficult terrain. These tyres may require periodic pumping, but will be much more durable than solid tyres and are more likely to be puncture-proof. Choose a model that has a a lockable swivelling front wheel to aid you in navigating difficult surfaces.

Having a single front wheel can also indicate that three-wheelers can 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 positioned upright if needed. Some models are able to be folded with just one hand, and they're freestanding when they're collapsed, which can make them more compact in boot spaces that are smaller.

A well-constructed three-wheeled pushchair can be used on all terrains, from busy streets to forest tracks. It's important to consider the way you'll use it every day. If you will be making the school run with it, it should be able handle the kerbs and steep slopes. If you intend to jog on it, ensure it has a swivelling "stretch front wheel' that is locked. This will keep the ride smooth.

MFM reviewer Kath discovered her three-wheeled buggy able to cope really well with urban and countryside walks. Kath said it could navigate cobbles, rough paths and uneven pavements easily and felt pleasant when jogging. It is also a good option for day trips because it is packed with storage space. It comes with an ample, spacious zip-top basket that is covered and an expandable 50+ UV hood. It can be adapted to fit a baby's needs from birth, including an infant carry cot or a lie-flat seat. It's also compatible with the most well-known stroller seats and second seats.

Fabric Sling Seat

The primary difference between a fabric and a modular seat is the fabric sling. It is a part of the frame of the buggy, rather than being positioned on top of it like the modular chair. This allows for a more ergonomically correct position for baby, which instantly delivers a lower centre of gravity that is at the proper height. This results in an easier push, a less hefty curb pop (you do not require much effort or weight to push the buggy over the nose of a curb) and better balance and stability.

The sling fabric used in these types of buggy seats are also very hard-wearing and easy to clean. These fabrics were developed specifically for sling chairs and are extremely UV resistant and ventilated. They also have a great durability and are easy to clean with mild soap and water.

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 styles have a wider base, are more stable and utilize air-filled tyres for smooth, easy mobility over rough terrain.

Modular Seat

Modular seating can be set up in various ways to meet different seating needs. Modular seating can be easily adjusted to create a cozy setting for watching movies, or a spacious arrangement to entertain guests. A lot of modular seating systems include cushions that can be removed which makes it easy to clean spills or stains.

Modular Seating is available in different designs to complement your current decor or as an accent piece. A broad range of fabrics, colors and shape options mean that you will find an alternative seating option that fits your taste. There are many functional features available in modular seating like hidden storage compartments that allow an easy organization and cleaning of living spaces.

3-wheel buggies are ideal for off-road and all terrain adventures since they offer more stability than 4-wheel strollers. The large, highly manoeuvrable front wheel allows for a quick and smooth movement, whilst the tyres are usually air-filled and feature suspension, which gives you a great ride on the most difficult trails and roads. They're also great for walking up hills since the wheels aren't as close to the ground as they are on four wheel pushchairs.
