3 Wheeled Buggies A 3-wheeler can be used for off-road walking and to tackle terrain from rough roads or tracks in woodlands. They are also more easy to maneuver up and down kerbs than 4-wheel models. Kath who is the editor of MadeForMums' reviews, tested one of these three-wheelers on tarmac and on various terrains. Read her review here. Stability With four wheels and a central point of gravity that's balanced by weight of your child in the seat, 4-wheel buggies are generally thought to be more stable than 3-wheelers. Three-wheel buggies are nevertheless worth considering since they can handle anything from rough terrain to busy streets. For a buggy that's easy to maneuver and will not be a problem on bumpy pavements, look for one with large rear wheels and an adjustable front wheel that locks. These all-terrain buggies typically have pneumatic tyres as well, which are ideal for handling surfaces that aren't paved and can even be used on sandy beaches or tracks in woodland. They're also the best buggies to be running around in, as they provide excellent stability over rough terrain and can aid in keeping up with your running partner. They can also go up and down steep kerbs, and a lot of them come with built-in spring suspension so your baby will have an enjoyable ride. A stroller with 3 wheels can be difficult to maneuver due to its wide frame. It can be more difficult to get through doorways and narrow spaces than a 4-wheeler. However certain manufacturers have addressed this issue with a clever design that makes the wheels fold up when not being used, which reduces their overall size, and allows you to get through doorways with ease. You'll also have to consider whether your buggy is suitable for your little one from birth, or if you're planning on using it with an infant car seat or carry cot. Make sure that the buggy has a lie-flat feature and if it's compatible with a second seat and buggy boards if you intend to take your toddler along. A majority of 3-wheelers can fold flat, and later be stacked upright. This is a good option when you have a small boot space or limited storage at home. Some will require you to remove the front wheel prior to folding in order to fit into even smaller spaces. Manoeuvrability Three-wheeled buggies generally offer better manoeuvrability than four-wheeled pushchairs. A lot of them feature a swivelling wheel on the front which allows you to steer and change direction using one hand. Some models have a lockable wheel that can give you stability on more rough terrain. Some models can be used with an additional seat or buggy board in case you want to expand your family. If you are planning to take your three-wheeled buggies off the paved roads it is recommended to choose an option that has pneumatic tyres. They are able to handle the most difficult terrain. They may have to be filled from time to time, but they will be more durable and puncture-proof compared to solid tyres. It is recommended to choose a model that has an adjustable front wheel that can be locked to help you navigate tricky surfaces. Having a single front wheel could be a reason that three-wheelers tend to be more bulkier than buggies with four wheels when folded. Check that your chosen model fits in the boot of your car and can be sat up should it be required. Certain models can be folded using one hand, and they can be raised when folded. This will save space in small car boot. A well-constructed 3 wheel pushchair will be able to deal with any terrain, from busy streets to woodland tracks. It is important to consider what you'll be using it for every day. If you'll be running the school run using it, it must be able handle steep slopes and kerbs. If you plan to jog with it, make sure it has a swiveling'stretch front wheel' that can be locked. This will help keep the ride smooth. MFM reviewer Kath found her tri-wheeled buggy was able to handle well on both urban and countryside walks. Kath noted that it was able to navigate rocky paths, cobbles, and bumpy pavements effortlessly and felt pleasant when running. It's also a great choice for day trips as it offers plenty of storage space, including a huge ample basket with a zip-top cover as well as an extendable 50+ UV hood. It can be adapted to meet the needs of a baby from birth, including the option of a carry cot or a lying-flat seats. It's also compatible with the most popular stroller seats and second seats. Fabric Sling Seat The key difference between a fabric sling versus a modular seats is that the fabric sling fits comfortably inside the frame of the buggy as opposed to sitting on top of it like a modular seat would. This allows for a more ergonomically-correct position for babies and instantly provides an lower centre of gravity that is at the proper height. This translates into an easier push, a lighter curb pop (you do not require much effort or weight to push the buggy over the curb's edge) and a better stability and balance. The sling fabric used in these kinds of seats are very hard-wearing and easy to clean. Developed specifically with 3 wheeled pushchair of sling chairs in mind they are UV resistant and breathable. They are also easy to maintain with mild soap and warm water. If you're a jogger or like to do some off-roading, then an all terrain buggy is more likely to suit your requirements than a four-wheeled buggy. These styles have a wider base they are more stable and use air-filled tyres to provide smooth movement 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 line-up with the Stella. The all-terrain buggy has an impressive, spacious and impressively growing seat that can be used as a world facing or parent facing and reclines flat using an upgraded 5-point safety harness. It can be used with an infant car seat or carrycot starting at birth. It also has an enormous shopping basket. Created for the most discerning buggy drivers, this luxurious 3 wheeler is as beautiful to behold as it is enjoyable to use. The angular frame features stunning pewter finish and accents of burnished aluminium. It is a real show-stopper. A big, padded seat that can be world or parent-facing with a new 5-point safety harness as well as a full set of rain covers makes this a great choice for active parents. Modular Seat Modular seating offers many different configurations to suit various seating requirements. Modular seating can be easily adjusted to create a comfortable place to watch films, or an open layout for entertaining guests. Many modular seating systems have cushion covers that can be removed which make it easier to clean spills and stains. Modular Seating can be designed to blend in with existing decor or make a statement as an accent piece. A wide range of color, fabric and shape options ensures that you can find a modular seating solution that suits your style. Many functional features are offered in modular seating, like hidden storage compartments that allow an easy organization and cleaning of living spaces. 3-wheel buggies are more stable than strollers with four wheels, which makes them ideal for off-road or all-terrain adventures. The huge, highly maneuverable front wheel allows for a quick and smooth movement, whereas the tyres are typically air-filled and feature suspension, allowing for a smooth ride on the most difficult trails and roads. They are also ideal for navigating up hills because the wheels aren't as close to ground as they are on 4 wheel pushchairs. Parents who like to run and jog with their children usually opt for strollers with three wheels because they are more agile and sleeker than their 4-wheel counterparts. The GB Upp XL, for example, has a sleek burnished aluminium frame that has a simple one-handed fold as well as forward-facing and rear-facing seats. The Babyzen Yoyo, on the other hand, has a black frame with a carrycot that is positioned in a full lying position and has air-filled tyres. Another great all-terrain choice is the incredibly lightweight, highly maneuverable and stunningly fashionable Mountain Buggy Sport verso. This is a buggy that truly future proofs your wallet and can be used from birth with the included carrycot, right through to toddler-hood with the seat that is modular (and beyond!).
