3 Wheeled Buggies

A 3-wheeler can be used for off-road walks and for tackling terrain such as rough roads or woodland tracks. They are also simpler to move up and down kerbs as opposed to 4-wheel models.

Kath who is the editor of MadeForMums' reviews, tested one of these three-wheelers on tarmac and on a variety of terrains. You can read her full review here.

Stability

Four-wheel buggies, with their center of gravity being balanced by your child's weight in the seat, are generally more stable than three-wheelers. But that doesn't mean that a three-wheel buggy isn't worth considering, as some of these models are made to cope with anything from rough terrain to bustling high-streets.

If you want a buggie that is easy to control and will not fall over on bumpy roads, look for one with large rear wheels and an adjustable front wheel that locks. These buggies are typically equipped with pneumatic tyres, too. They are ideal for handling surfaces that aren't paved and can even be used on sandy beaches or tracks in woodland.

They're also great buggies to jog with since they offer excellent stability on rougher terrain and help you stay with your running partner. They can also be used to go up and down steep kerbs, and many come with a spring suspension that is built-in, so your baby will have a comfortable ride.

The main thing that can make a 3-wheeled pushchair 3 wheels tricky to manoeuvre is the wide frame, which can make it more difficult to maneuver into narrow spaces and tight doors than a 4-wheeler. However some manufacturers have solved this issue by implementing an innovative design that makes the wheels flip upwards when not in use, which decreases their overall size, and allows you to get through doorways without difficulty.

If so, check for a lie-flat position and whether the design is compatible with second seating and buggy boards (if you'd like to add a toddler onboard). Find out if the buggy comes with an option to lie flat and if it's compatible with second seat and buggy boards if you intend to take a toddler along. Many 3-wheelers fold flat and can be upright when folded - handy if you have a small car boot or limited storage space at home. Some will require you to take out the front wheel before folding in order to fit in 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 with one hand. Some models also come with a lockable front wheels that can provide security on more difficult terrain. Some models can be used with an additional seat or buggy board if you're planning to grow your family.

If you're planning to take your three-wheeled bike off the tracks that are paved, it's worth choosing one that has tyres with air in them (also called pneumatic tyres) which are able to withstand the most difficult terrain. These tyres may require regular pumping but will be much more durable than tyres made of solid rubber and more likely to be puncture-proof. You should choose one with an adjustable front wheel that can be locked to assist you on difficult terrains.

The fact that there is only one front wheel may also mean that three-wheelers tend to be bulkier than four-wheeled buggies when folded. Make sure the model you pick fits in your car's boot and can be positioned upright if required. Some models can be folded by one hand, and can be raised when folded. This can save space in small car boot.

A good three-wheel pushchair can handle most terrains, from busy streets to forest tracks. It's important to consider the way you'll use it every day. If you will be making the school run with it, it should be able to handle sharp slopes and kerbs. If you plan to jog with it, make sure it has a swivelling "stretch front wheel' that is locked. This will keep the ride in place.

MFM reviewer Kath found her tri-wheeled buggy able to cope really well on rural and urban walks. She noted that it could navigate cobbles, rough paths and bumpy pavements effortlessly and felt pleasant to jog with too. It's also a great option for day trips, as it offers plenty of storage space, including a huge ample basket with a zip-top cover and an expandable 50+ UV hood. It can be adjusted to meet the needs of babies starting at birth, using an infant carry cot or a lie-flat seat. It is also compatible with the most popular second-seats and stroller boards.

Fabric Sling Seat

The primary difference between a fabric sling and modular seats is that the fabric sling sits snugly inside the buggy frame as opposed to sitting on top of it like a modular seat would. This allows for a more ergonomically appropriate position for the baby, leading to a lower center of gravity at the ideal height. This translates into an easier push, a lighter curb pop (you don't need as much weight and effort to push the buggy over the nose of a curb) and better stability and balance.

The sling fabric used in these kinds of buggy seats are also very hard-wearing and easy to clean. Developed specifically with the use 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 enjoy a bit of off-roading, an all terrain 3 wheeler pushchair off road wheeler is likely to be more suitable than a 4-wheeler. These styles tend to have a wider base, more stable and utilise air filled tyres to ensure smooth, easy movement on rough ground.

A brand best known for its car seats, Maxi-Cosi has recently added the latest 3-wheeler to its range with the Stella.

Modular Seat

Modular seating can be configured in a variety of ways to accommodate different seating needs. Modular seating can be easily adjusted to create a relaxing setting for watching movies, or a spacious arrangement to entertain guests. A lot of modular seating systems include cushions that can be removed, making it easy to clean up spills and stain.

Modular Seating can be designed to blend in with existing decors or stand out as an accent piece. A broad range of fabric, color and shape options mean that you can find a modular seating solution that is a perfect fit for your preferences. Various functional features are also available in modular seating like hidden storage compartments that permit easy organization and decluttering of living spaces.

3-wheel buggies are ideal for off-road and all terrain adventures because they offer more stability than strollers with four wheels. The large, extremely maneuverable front wheel allows for agile and smooth movement, whilst the tyres are usually filled with air and have suspension, which gives you a great ride on even the most difficult 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 a favourite for parents who enjoy running and jogging with their child as they offer great agility and are less bulky than their 4 wheel counterparts. The GB Upp XL for example features a sleek, burnished silver aluminum frame, an easy fold that can be folded in one hand and forward and rear facing seats. Meanwhile, the Babyzen Yoyo has an all black frame, a carrycot with fully lie-flat position with air-filled tyres as well as 3 recline positions.
