3 Wheeled Buggies

A 3 wheel pushchair with car seat-wheel buggy is great for off-road walking & dealing with terrain from bumpy pavements to woodland tracks. They can also be easier to maneuver up and down kerbs than models with four wheels.

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

Stability

Four-wheel buggies, which have their centre of gravity balancing by your child's weight within the seat are generally more stable than three wheel buggies-wheelers. But that doesn't mean a three-wheel buggy isn't worth a look, since some of these models are made to withstand anything from rough terrain to bustling high-streets.

Look for a buggy with large rear wheels, and an lockable wheel on the front. This makes it more comfortable to drive and less likely to snap apart on bumpy roads. These all-terrain buggies also have pneumatic tires, which are perfect for handling non-paved surfaces. They can be used on sandy beaches or tracks in woodlands.

They're also excellent buggies to run with as they provide excellent stability on more rough terrain and can help you stay with your running companion. They are also great for going up and down steep kerbs Most buggies have a built-in suspension that ensures your child will have a pleasant ride.

The one thing that can make a pushchair 3 wheels with three wheels difficult to manoeuvre is the wide frame, which can make it difficult to squeeze through tight spaces and narrow doorways than a 4-wheeler. However some manufacturers have solved 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.

If yes, make sure to check for a lie-flat position and if the design is compatible with second seating and buggy boards (if you plan to bring a toddler onboard). Make sure that the buggy has an option to lie flat and if it is compatible with a second seat as well as buggy boards, if you are planning to bring your toddler along. Many 3-wheelers fold flat and can be upright when folded which is useful if you have a a small car boot or a small storage space at home. Some will require you to take out the front wheel prior to folding in order to fit into more compact spaces.

Manoeuvrability

Three-wheeled buggies are more maneuverable than strollers with four wheels. Many of them have a swivelling wheel on the front, which allows you to steer and change direction using just one hand. Some models also have a lockable front wheel which gives you stability on rougher terrain. Some models can be used with an additional buggy or seat, should you decide to grow your family.

If you plan to take your three-wheeled buggies off the roads that are asphalted it is recommended to choose one with pneumatic tyres. They can handle the most difficult terrain. They may have to be pumped up from time to the point, but they will be more durable and puncture-proof compared to solid tyres. Look for a model with a lockable swivelling front wheel to aid you in navigating difficult surfaces.

When folded, three-wheelers can be heavier than buggies with four wheels because of the single wheel in front. Check to see if the model you're considering can fit in the boot of your vehicle and can be sat up in the event that it is needed. Some models are able to fold in one hand, and they're freestanding when collapsed, which will save space in boot spaces that are smaller.

A good 3 wheel pushchair is able to cope with any terrain, from busy high streets to tracks through woodlands. It's important to consider the way you'll use it every day. If you'll be doing the school run with it, it should be able to handle sharp slopes and kerbs. If you're planning to run on it, ensure it has a swivelling "stretch front wheel' that is locked. This will keep the ride stable.

Fabric Sling Seat

The primary difference between a fabric sling and modular seats is that the fabric sling is placed comfortably inside the frame of the buggy rather than sitting on top like a modular seat. This allows for a more ergonomically appropriate position for babies, which instantly delivers lower center of gravity and a more appropriate height. This translates into an easier push, a lighter curb pop (you don't require much effort or weight to lift the buggy off the curb's nose) and a better balance and stability.

These buggy seats also feature Sling fabrics that are simple to clean and durable. These fabrics were developed specifically for the sling chair and are UV-resistant and air-tight. They also have excellent durability and are easy to clean with water and soap.
