3 Wheeled Buggies

A 3 wheel travel system-wheeler can be used for off-road walking and to tackle terrain from bumpy pavements or tracks in woodlands. They are also easier to maneuver up and down kerbs than models with four wheels.

Kath, the editor of MadeForMums reviews, tried one of these three-wheelers on tarmac, as well as on a variety of terrains. You can read her review here.

Stability

Four-wheel buggies, with their centre of gravity balanced by your child's weight within the seat are generally more stable than three wheeled buggies-wheelers. However, that doesn't mean an older model with three wheels isn't worth considering, since some of these models are designed to withstand everything from rough terrain to busy high-streets.

For a buggy that's really easy to handle and will not let you down on bumpy roads, look for a model with large rear wheels and an adjustable front wheel that locks. These all-terrain buggies also come with pneumatic tires that are ideal for handling unpaved surfaces. They can be used even on sandy beaches and tracks in woodlands.

They are also great buggies to jog with since they offer excellent stability on rougher terrain and can aid you in staying with your running partner. They are also great for climbing and down steep kerbs as well and a majority come with a suspension built in which means your child will have a pleasant ride.

A stroller with three wheels isn't easy to maneuver due to its wide frame. It can be more difficult to get through doorways and narrow spaces 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 fit through doors.

You'll also need 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. If so, ensure that it is in a lie-flat position and whether the design is compatible with other seats and buggy boards (if you're planning to put the toddler to the buggy). A lot of 3-wheelers fold flat and be positioned upright when collapsed - handy if you have limited space in your car boot or only a little storage space at home. Some will require you to remove the front wheel when folding if you want it to fit in even more compact space.

Manoeuvrability

Three-wheeled buggies usually offer better manoeuvrability than pushchairs with four wheels. A majority of them have an swivelling wheel at the front, which allows you to steer and change direction with only one hand. Certain models come with a lockable wheel that can offer stability on rough terrain. Some models can be used with an additional seat or buggy board if you're planning to increase the size of your family.

If you plan to take your three-wheeled buggies off the paved roads it is recommended to choose a model that has pneumatic tyres. They can handle the most difficult terrain. They may have to be regularly pumped up from time time, but they will be more durable and puncture-proof compared to solid tyres. Choose a model that has a an adjustable swivelling front wheel that locks 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. Make sure the model you choose can fit into the boot of your vehicle and can be sat up should it be needed. Certain models can be folded by one hand, and they stand up when collapsed. This can save space in the boot of your car.

A good three-wheel pushchair can handle most terrains from busy roads to forest tracks. It's important to think about the way you'll use it every day. If you're planning to run the school run, it ought to be able to handle steep slopes and kerbs. If you'll be running with it, ensure it has an adjustable lockable swivelling'stretch' for the front wheel to ensure that the ride is safe.

Kath the MFM reviewer, discovered that her stroller on three wheels was able to handle both urban and rural walks. She said it was able to navigate cobbles, rough paths and uneven pavements easily and was comfortable while jogging. It is also a good option for day trips since it is packed with storage space. It has an enormous, spacious, zip-top covered basket and an expandable 50+ UV hood. It can be adjusted to meet the needs of babies from birth, with the option of a carry cot or a lying-flat seats. It is also compatible with the most well-known second seats and stroller boards.

Fabric Sling Seat

The primary distinction between a seat made of fabric and a modular one is the fabric sling. It sits inside the buggy frame, as opposed to being placed on top like an adjustable chair. This allows for a more ergonomically correct position for baby and instantly provides an lower centre of gravity and a more appropriate height. This translates into an easier push, a less hefty curb pop (you don't require the same amount of effort and weight to push the buggy over the nose of a curb) and a better balance and stability.

These seats also have sling fabrics that are easy to clean and durable. These fabrics were specifically designed for the sling chair and are UV resistant and breathable. They are also easy to maintain with mild soap and warm water.

If you are a jogger, or you like off-roading, then an all terrain buggy is more suited to your needs than a four-wheel buggy. These styles have a wider base they are more stable and have air-filled tyres that allow for smooth and easy movement on rough terrain.

Maxi-Cosi, a name that is well-known for its car seat collection and has now added a brand new 3-wheeler called the Stella to its product line.

Modular Seat

A lot of modular seating systems come with removable cushions, making it easy to clean spills or stain.

3-wheel buggies are ideal for off-road and all-terrain adventures since they offer more stability than strollers with four wheels. The large, highly manoeuvrable front wheel enables agile and smooth movement, whereas the tyres are generally filled with air and have suspension, allowing for a smooth ride on even the most difficult roads and trails. The wheels are not as close to the ground on these pushchairs as they are with four wheeled pushchairs. This makes them perfect for walking uphill.

Often 3-wheel prams are a favorite for parents who love running and jogging with their child because they offer superior agility and are less bulky than their 4 wheel counterparts. The GB Upp XL for example has a sleek burnished silver aluminium frame, with a quick one-hand fold and forward and rear facing seats. Meanwhile, the Babyzen Yoyo has an all black frame, a carrycot that has a fully lie-flat position air-filled tyres, and three recline positions.

It does this all within the footprint of a single buggy.
