3 Wheeled Buggies A 3-wheel buggy is used for off-road walks and to tackle terrain from bumpy pavements or woodland tracks. They are also easier to maneuver up and down kerbs compared to 4-wheel models. Kath who is the editor of MadeForMums reviews, has tested one of these 3-wheelers on tarmac as well as on various terrains. Check out her review here. Stability Four-wheel buggies, with their centre of gravity balancing by your child's weight in the seat, are typically more stable than three-wheelers. But that doesn't mean that the three-wheel buggie isn't worth a look, since many of these models are made to cope with everything from rough terrain to bustling high streets. Look for a buggy with large rear wheels, as well as one that locks on the front. This will make it more comfortable to drive and less likely to fall apart when you're on bumpy roads. These all-terrain buggies often have pneumatic tyres, too. They are ideal for handling uneven surfaces and can be used on sandy beaches or tracks in woodland. These are also the best buggies to be running with, since they provide great stability over rougher ground and can aid in keeping up with your jogging partner. They're also excellent at climbing and descending steep kerbs too, and most of them have a built-in suspension that means your baby will be able to ride comfortably. A stroller with three wheels isn't easy to maneuver because of its large frame. It can be more difficult to maneuver through narrow spaces and doorways than a 4-wheeler. Some manufacturers have addressed this issue with clever design that turns the wheels upside down when they are not in use. This reduces their dimensions and makes it easier to squeeze through doorways. You'll also have to consider whether the buggy you choose to use is suitable for your little one from birth, or if you're thinking of using it with an infant car seat or carry cot. Find out if the buggy comes with the ability to lie flat, and if it is compatible with a second seat as well as buggy boards if you intend to take your toddler along. Many 3-wheelers fold flat and be positioned upright when collapsed which is useful if you have a an insufficient 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 even smaller space. Manoeuvrability Three-wheeled buggies are more movable than four-wheeled strollers. Many of them have an swivelling wheel at the front that allows you to steer and change direction using one hand. Some also come with a lockable front wheel that can provide the stability you need on rough terrain. Some models can be used with an additional buggy or seat, in case you want to expand your family. If you're planning to take your three-wheeled buggy off tracks that are paved, it's worth choosing one equipped with tyres filled with air (also called pneumatic tyres) which can cope with the toughest terrain. They will require periodic pumping, but will be much more durable than tyres that are solid and are more likely to be puncture-proof. Look for a model with the ability to lock the swivelling wheel on the front to aid you in navigating difficult surfaces. When folded, three-wheelers can be heavier than buggies with four wheels due to the single wheel on the front. Be sure that the model you select can fit in the boot of your car and can be set up upright if needed. Some models fold using one hand and can be rearranged when folded. This can help save space in the boot of your car. A well-constructed 3 wheel pushchair will be able to deal with most terrain from busy main streets to woodland tracks. It is important to consider the way you'll use it every day. If you will be making the school run using it, it must be able handle steep slopes and kerbs. 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 steady. Kath who is an MFM reviewer, found that her stroller on three wheels was able to take on urban and rural walks. She said that it navigated cobbles, rough paths and uneven pavements with ease and was comfortable to run with. It's also a great option for day trips, as it comes with plenty of storage space, including a large ample basket with a zip-top cover and an extendable 50+ UV hood. It can also be modified to accommodate babies from birth using a lie-flat seat or a carry cot, as well as being compatible with a variety of popular second seats and buggy boards. Fabric Sling Seat The primary difference between a fabric sling and modular seat is that the fabric sling is placed in the frame of the buggy rather than sitting on top of it as a modular seat would. This allows for a more ergonomically correct position for baby that instantly gives lower center of gravity at the right height. This results in a smoother push, a more light curb-pop (you don't need to exert as much effort and weight to lift the buggy off the curb) and increased stability and balance. The sling fabrics used in these kinds of seats are very hard-wearing and easy to clean. These fabrics were specifically designed for sling chairs and are extremely durable and air-tight. These fabrics are also very easy to maintain using mild soap and warm water. If you are a jogger, or like to do some off-roading, then an all terrain buggy is more likely to suit your needs than a four-wheel buggy. These models generally have a larger base, more stable, and utilise tyres with air for agile smooth moving on uneven ground. A brand that is most famous for its car seats, Maxi-Cosi has recently added a new 3-wheeler to its lineup with the Stella. The all-terrain buggy has a large, spacious and impressively growing seat that can be world facing or parent-facing and reclines flat using an upgraded 5-point safety harness. It can be used with a car seat or carrycot from birth and has a large shopping basket. This 3 wheeler of luxury, designed for the most discerning buggy owner is as stunning to see as it is to operate. The angular frame features a stunning pewter finish with touches of burnished aluminum. It's a true eye-catching piece. A big, padded seat that can be world or parent facing with a new 5-point safety harness, as well as an entire set of rain covers make this an ideal option for parents who are active. Modular Seat Modular seating offers an array of configurations that can be adapted to various seating requirements. Modular seating can be easily adjusted to create a comfortable setting for watching movies, or an open layout to entertain guests. Many modular seating systems come with cushion covers that can be removed which makes it easier to clean spills and staining. Modular Seating can be designed to blend in with existing decor or make a statement as an accent piece. A wide range of fabric, color, and shape options means that you will find an alternative seating option that suits your style. Modular seating comes with a variety of practical features, like hidden storage compartments that make it easy to organizing. 3-wheel buggies provide more stability than 4-wheel strollers, making them ideal for off-road or all terrain adventures. The large, highly manoeuvrable front wheel enables agile and smooth movement, whereas the tyres are typically air-filled and feature suspension, allowing for a smooth ride on even the roughest of trails and roads. They are also ideal for walking up hills since the wheels aren't as close ground as they are on 4 wheel pushchairs. Often 3-wheel prams are popular choice for parents who enjoy running and jogging with their child, as they provide excellent mobility and are much more sleek than their 4 wheel counterparts. The GB Upp XL for example is a sleek and polished aluminum frame, which has a quick one-hand fold 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 with air-filled tyres as well as 3 recline positions. Another excellent all-terrain choice is the incredibly lightweight, highly manoeuvrable and amazingly elegant Mountain Buggy Sport verso. This buggy is truly future-proof for your wallet and can take you from birth with the included carrycot all the way to toddlerhood with the modular seat (and beyond!). All of this is done within the footprint of one buggy. The most recent model, duet™, is a side-by-side buggy that's compact enough for urban living yet with a lot of innovation and control. It features a unique seat made of fabric that is positioned snugly within the frame at the ideal height to distribute weight. This makes it easy crossing of kerbs and for navigating cities and neighborhoods.
