3 Wheeled Buggies A 3-wheel buggy is great for off-road jogging and taking on terrains, from bumpy pavements to woodland tracks. They are also easier to move up and down kerbs in comparison to 4-wheel models. MadeForMums reviews editor Kath tried one of these 3-wheelers with her newborn and three year old, and put it through its paces on road and on a rocky surface. Read her review here. Stability Four-wheel buggies, which have their center of gravity being balanced by your child's weight within the seat, are typically more stable than three-wheelers. But that doesn't mean the three-wheel buggie isn't worth a look, since the majority of them are built to cope with anything from rough terrain to busy high-streets. Choose a buggy that has large rear wheels, and a lockable wheel on the front. This will make it easier to drive and less likely to fall off when driving on bumpy roads. These all-terrain buggies also have pneumatic tires that are perfect for handling non-paved surfaces. They are able to be used even on sandy beaches or tracks in woodlands. They're also the best buggies to be jogging with, as they provide excellent stability over rougher ground and can aid in keeping up with your running partner. They're also good at going up and down steep kerbs, and most of them come with a suspension built in that ensures your child will be able to ride comfortably. The main thing that can make a 3-wheeled pushchair tricky to maneuver is the broad frame, which makes it difficult to squeeze into narrow spaces and tight doors than a 4-wheeler. However some manufacturers have solved this issue by implementing clever design that lets the wheels flip up when they are not being used, which reduces their overall size, and allows you navigate through doorways without difficulty. You'll also have to think about whether the buggy you choose to use is suitable for your little one from birth, or if you're thinking of using it in conjunction with an infant car seat or carry cot. If so, ensure that it is in an upright position and if the design is compatible with second seats and buggy boards (if you'd like to add a toddler onboard). A lot of 3-wheelers fold flat, and then be stacked upright. This is great if you only have limited space in your boot or have limited storage at home. Some will require you to take out the front wheel when folding in order to fit into smaller spaces. Manoeuvrability Three-wheeled buggies are more movable than strollers with four wheels. They often have a swivelling front wheel which allows you to change direction quickly and steer using just one hand. Some models have wheels that lock to offer stability on rough terrain. Some models can be used with an additional seat or buggy board if you plan to expand your family. If you're thinking of taking your three-wheeled bike off the roads, you should consider selecting a model with air-filled tyres (also called pneumatic tyres) which are able to withstand the toughest terrain. These tyres may require periodic pumping, but will be much more durable than tyres that are solid and more likely to be puncture-proof. You should look for one with an adjustable front wheel that is locked to help you navigate difficult surfaces. When folded, three-wheelers can be more bulky than buggies with four wheels due to the single front wheel. Check that the model you pick can fit in the boot of your car and can be placed in a straight line if needed. Some models are able to fold with one hand and are freestanding when they're collapsed, which will save space in boot spaces that are smaller. A quality 3 wheel pushchair can cope with most terrain from busy high streets to tracks through woodlands. It is important to consider how you will use it every day. If you'll be doing the school run, it should be able to handle steep kerbs and slopes. If you'll be running with it, ensure it has an adjustable swivelling'stretch' lockable front wheel to keep the ride safe. MFM reviewer Kath discovered her three-wheeled buggy able to cope really well with urban and countryside walks. She said it could navigate rocky paths, cobbles, and bumpy pavements with ease and was comfortable while jogging. It's also a great choice for day trips as it has a lot of storage space. It has an ample, spacious zip-top basket that is covered and an extended, 50+ UV hood. It can be adapted to meet the needs of babies from birth, including an infant 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 seat is the fabric sling. It is placed inside the frame of the buggy rather than being positioned on top like an adjustable chair. This enables a much more ergonomically-correct posture for the baby and instantly provides an lower centre of gravity and a more appropriate height. 3 wheeler pushchairs from birth www.pushchairsandprams.uk leads to a more comfortable push, a more light curb-pop (you don't have to exert the same effort and weight to lift the buggy off the curb) and increased stability and balance. The sling fabrics that are used in these types of buggy seats are also very hard-wearing and easy to clean. They were designed specifically with applications for sling chairs in mind they are UV resistant and air-tight. These fabrics are also very easy to maintain with mild soap and warm water. If you are a jogger, or enjoy off-roading, an all terrain buggy is more likely to meet your requirements than a four-wheeler. These types have a bigger base and are more stable. They also utilize air-filled tyres for smooth movement over rough terrain. A brand that is most famous for its car seats, Maxi-Cosi has recently added a new 3-wheeler to its range with the Stella. This all-terrain stroller boasts a large and spacious travel system seat unit which can be placed either in the direction of the parent or facing the world. It also reclines flat and has an upgraded 5-point safety belt. It can be used as a baby with an infant car seat or carrycot and comes with a reasonably large shopping basket and a hood that has zip pockets, and a simple one-hand fold. This luxury 3 wheeler, designed for the most discerning buggy owners, is as beautiful to see as it is to operate. The angular frame has stunning pewter finishes with accents of burnished aluminium. It's a true show-stopper. A spacious, cushioned seat that is world or parent-facing, with a new 5-point safety harness, as well as an entire set of rain covers makes this a great option for parents who are active. Modular Seat Modular seating allows for an array of configurations to suit different seating needs. It doesn't matter if it's a comfortable setup for watching films or a large configuration to entertain guests, modular seating is able to adjust easily. Many modular seating systems come with cushions that can be removed, making it easy to clean up spills and stain. Modular Seating is available in different styles to match existing decor or as an accent piece. You can pick from a variety of colors, fabrics, and shapes to design a modular seating that suits your style. There are many functional features offered in modular seating, like hidden storage compartments that permit easy organization and decluttering of living spaces. 3-wheel buggies offer more stability than 4-wheel strollers, making them ideal for off-road or all terrain adventures. The huge, highly maneuverable front wheel allows for agile and smooth motion, while the tyres are typically filled with air and have suspension, providing an excellent ride on the roughest of trails and roads. They're also great for walking up hills as the wheels aren't as close to the ground as they are on four wheel pushchairs. Parents who like to run and jog with their kids often choose 3-wheel prams because they are more agile and sleeker than their 4-wheel counterparts. The GB Upp XL, for instance, is a sleek, burnished aluminum frame with a quick one-handed fold, forward-facing and rear-facing seats. The Babyzen Yoyo, on the other hand, has an all-black frame that comes with a carrycot that is positioned in a full lying position and has air-filled tyres. Another fantastic all-terrain option is the incredibly light, extremely maneuverable and amazingly stylish Mountain Buggy Sport verso. This buggy truly future proofs your wallet and can be used from birth with the included carrycot, right through to toddler-hood with the seat that can be rearranged (and beyond!). All this is within the footprint of one buggy. The latest model, duet™, is a side-byside buggy that's small enough for urban living, yet with a lot of innovation and control. It has a unique seat made of fabric that is placed comfortably within the frame at the ideal height to distribute the weight. This allows for easy jumps over kerbs, and navigates cities and neighborhoods.
