3 Wheeled Buggies A 3-wheeler can be used for off-road walking and for tackling terrain such as rough roads or tracks in woodlands. They can also be easier to maneuver up and down kerbs than 4-wheel models. MadeForMums reviews editor Kath tried one of these three-wheelers with her newborn and three year old, putting it through its paces on asphalt and on the muddy ground. You can read her review here. Stability With four wheels and a central point of gravity that's balanced by weight of your child's seat, buggies with four wheels are generally thought to be more stable than three-wheelers. Three-wheel buggies are still worth considering as they can handle everything from rough terrain to busy streets. Look for a buggy with large rear wheels, and one that locks on the front. This will make it easier to drive and less likely to fall off when driving on rough roads. These all-terrain buggies typically have pneumatic tyres as well, which are ideal for handling surfaces that aren't paved and can be used on sandy beaches or tracks in woodland. They're also the best buggies for running with, since they provide great stability over rougher ground and aid in keeping up with your running partner. They can also be used to go up and down steep kerbs and many of them come with a spring suspension built-in so that your baby can enjoy a smooth ride. The main thing that can make a 3-wheeled pushchair tricky to manoeuvre is the wide frame, which makes it difficult to squeeze through narrow and tight doors than a four-wheeler. However, some manufacturers have tackled this issue by implementing an innovative design that makes the wheels fold up when they are not in use, which decreases their overall size and allows you to get through doorways without difficulty. If so, check for a lie-flat location and also whether the design is compatible with second seating and buggy boards (if you plan to bring an infant onboard). If so, ensure that it is in a lie-flat position and whether the design is compatible with second seats and buggy boards (if you're planning to put the toddler to the buggy). Many 3-wheelers can fold flat and be placed upright. This is a great option when you have an unwieldy boot space or limited storage at home. Some 3-wheelers require you to remove the front wheel to fold them into smaller sizes. Manoeuvrability Three-wheeled buggies are more maneuverable than strollers with four wheels. Many of them have a swivelling wheels on the front that allows you to steer and change direction with just one hand. Some also have a lockable front wheel which gives you security on more difficult terrain. Some models can even be used with an additional seat or buggy board if you're looking to expand your family. If you're planning to take your three-wheeled buggy off tracks that are paved, it's worth selecting a model with air-filled tyres (also known as pneumatic tyres) that can withstand the most difficult terrain. These tyres may need to be pumped up from time to intervals, but they'll be more durable and puncture-proof than solid tyres. Look for a model with an adjustable swivelling front wheel that locks to assist you in maneuvering difficult surfaces. When folded, three-wheelers can be more bulky than four-wheeled buggies due to the single wheel on the front. Check that the model you choose can fit in the boot of your car and can be placed upright if required. Certain models can be folded using one hand, and can be raised when folded. This can help save space in the boot of your car. A well-constructed three-wheeled pushchair can be used on all terrains from busy roads to forest tracks. But it's important to consider what you'll be using it for day-to-day. If you'll be running the school run with it, it should be able handle the kerbs and steep slopes. If you'll be running on it, make sure it has an adjustable lockable swivelling'stretch' for the front wheel to ensure that the ride is safe. Kath who is an MFM reviewer, was able to determine that her three-wheeled stroller was able to handle both urban and rural walks. 3 wheel buggy said it could navigate rocky paths, cobbles and uneven pavements effortlessly and was comfortable while running. It's also a great option for day trips as it has plenty of storage space, including a huge ample basket with a zip-top cover and an expandable 50+ UV hood. It can be modified to meet the needs of a baby starting at birth, using the option of a carry cot or a lying-flat seats. It's also compatible with the most well-known stroller seats and second seats. Fabric Sling Seat The primary difference between a fabric sling versus a modular seat is that the fabric sling is placed in the frame of the buggy rather than sitting on top like a modular seat. This allows for a more ergonomically correct posture for the baby and instantly provides lower center of gravity and a more appropriate height. This in turn makes for an easier push, a lighter curb pop (you do not require the same amount of effort and weight to pop the buggy over the curb's nose) and better balance and stability. These seats also have sling fabrics that are easy to clean and durable. They were designed specifically with applications for sling chairs in mind, these fabrics are incredibly UV resistant and breathable. They also have excellent durability and are easy to clean using mild soap and water. If you're a jogger, or enjoy a bit of off-roading, an all terrain 3 wheeler is likely to be more suited to your needs than a 4-wheel buggy. These models are generally larger base, more stable and utilise tyres with air for agile smooth moving 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. This all-terrain vehicle has an impressive, spacious and impressively growing seat that can be a world-facing or parent facing and reclines flat using an upgraded 5-point safety harness. It can be used from birth with a car seat or carrycot and comes with a generously sized shopping basket and hood with zip pockets, and a simple one-hand fold. This luxury 3 wheeler, designed for the most discerning buggy owner is as stunning to look at as it is to use. The angular frame is finished in a striking pewter black, with hints of silver-burnished aluminum throughout, giving it a real wow factor. A spacious, cushioned seat that can be world or parent-facing with a more secure 5-point safety harness, as well as a full set of rain covers make this a great option for parents who are active. Modular Seat Modular seating can be set up in a variety of ways to meet a variety of seating requirements. Modular seating can be easily adjusted to create a cozy space to watch movies or an open layout to entertain guests. A lot of modular seating systems include cushions that can be removed making it simple to clean up spills and stain. Modular Seating can be designed to blend with the existing decor or make a statement as an accent piece. A variety of color, fabric and shape options mean that you will find a modular seating solution that is a perfect fit for your preferences. Modular seating comes with a variety of useful features, such as storage compartments hidden from view for easy organizing. 3-wheel buggies are especially suitable for off-road or all terrain adventures because they offer more stability than strollers with four wheels. The large, extremely maneuverable front wheel allows for a quick and smooth motion, while the tyres are usually air-filled and feature suspension, which gives you a great ride on even the roughest roads and trails. They're also great for navigating up hills because the wheels aren't as close to the ground as they are on four wheel pushchairs. Parents who love to run and jog with their babies often choose 3-wheel prams because they're more agile and sleeker than their 4-wheel counterparts. The GB Upp XL, for instance, features a sleek, burnished aluminum frame with a quick, one-handed fold and rear-facing and forward-facing seats. The Babyzen Yoyo, on the other hand, features black frames with an infant carrycot that can be positioned in a full lie-flat position, and has tyres that are air-filled. Another excellent all-terrain option is the light, extremely maneuverable and amazingly fashionable Mountain Buggy Sport verso.
