3 Wheeled Buggies

A 3 wheeler pushchair-wheel buggy is great for off-roading and tackling terrain from bumpy pavements to woodland tracks. They are also easier to navigate on kerbs, and they are less prone to slipping down when as opposed to 4-wheel models.

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

Stability

With four wheels and a central point of gravity that is balanced by the weight of your child's seat, buggies with four wheels are generally considered to be more stable than triwheelers. Three-wheel buggies are worth considering as they can handle everything from rough terrain to busy streets.

Find a buggie with large rear wheels, and a lockable wheel on the front. This makes it easier to drive and less likely to snap apart when you're on bumpy roads. These all-terrain buggies typically have pneumatic tyres, too. They are great at handling uneven surfaces and can even be used on sandy beaches or woodland tracks.

They are also the best buggies to be running with, since they provide great stability on rough terrain and help you keep up with your jogging partner. They can also go up and down steep kerbs, and many of them come with a spring suspension built-in so that your baby will have a smooth ride.

The one factor that makes a pushchair with three wheels difficult to maneuver is the large frame, which can make it difficult to squeeze into narrow spaces and tight doorways than a 4-wheeler. Some manufacturers have solved this issue with a clever design which flips the wheels upwards when they are not being used. This reduces their dimensions and makes it easier to squeeze through doorways.

You'll also have to consider whether your buggy is suitable for your little one from birth or if you're planning on 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 the toddler to the buggy). Many lightest 3 wheel stroller-wheelers can fold flat, and then be placed upright. This is great if you only have a small boot space or limited storage at home. Some will require you to remove the front wheel when folding in order to fit into even smaller space.

Manoeuvrability

Three-wheeled buggies generally offer better manoeuvrability than pushchairs with four wheels. A majority of them have a swivelling wheels on the front which allows you to steer and change direction with one hahood. It can be adjusted to meet the needs of babies starting at birth, using a carry cot or lay-flat seat. It's also compatible with the most popular second seats and stroller boards.

Fabric Sling Seat

The key difference between a fabric sling and modular seats is that the fabric sling fits snugly inside the buggy frame instead of sitting on top as a modular seat would. This allows for a more ergonomically appropriate posture for the baby, which instantly delivers a lower centre of gravity and a more appropriate height. This leads to a smoother push, a lighter curb-pop (you don't need to exert the same effort and weight to lift the buggy off the curb) and improved balance and stability.

The sling fabrics that are used in these kinds of buggy seats are also extremely durable and easy to clean. Made specifically for sling chair applications in mind they are durable and air-tight. They are also easy to maintain with mild soap and warm water.

If you are a jogger, or like to do some off-roading, an all terrain buggy is more suited to your requirements than a four-wheeled buggy. These models have a larger base they are more stable and use air-filled tyres to provide smooth and easy movement on rough terrain.

3 wheel tandem stroller-wheel buggies are especially suitable for off-road and all-terrain adventures since they offer more stability than strollers with four wheels. The large, highly maneuverable front wheel allows for smooth and swift movement. The tyres, which are typically filled with air and have suspension, provide an excellent ride even on the roughest roads and trails. The wheels aren't as close to the ground on these pushchairs as they would be with 4 wheeled pushchairs. This makes them ideal for walking uphill.
