3 Wheeled Buggies A 3-wheel buggy can be utilized for off-road trails and to tackle terrain from uneven paths or tracks in woodlands. They can also be easier to maneuver up and down kerbs than models with four wheels. MadeForMums reviews editor Kath tried one of these 3-wheelers with her newborn and 3 year old daughter, putting it through its paces on tarmac and on tricky ground. 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, 4-wheel buggies are generally considered to be more stable than three-wheelers. Three-wheel buggies are nevertheless worth considering as they can take on anything from rough terrain to busy streets. If you want a buggie that is easy to control and will not let you down on muddy roads, opt for one with big rear wheels and a lockable front wheel. These buggies are typically equipped with pneumatic tyres too, which are excellent for handling non-paved surfaces and can even be used on sandy beaches or tracks in woodland. They're also the best buggies for running around in, as they provide excellent stability over rougher ground and can aid in keeping up with your running partner. They can also be used to go up and down steep kerbs and a lot of them come with a spring suspension that is built-in, so your baby can enjoy a smooth ride. The main factor that makes a pushchair with three wheels difficult to manoeuvre is the wide frame, which makes it more difficult to maneuver through tight spaces and narrow doors than a 4-wheeler. Some manufacturers have solved this issue by using clever design that flips the wheels upwards when they are not being used. This reduces their size and makes them easier to maneuver through doorways. It's also important to consider whether your buggy is suitable for your baby from birth or if you're planning on using it with an infant car seat or carry cot. Check if the buggy has a lie-flat feature and if it's compatible with a second seat as well as buggy boards if you intend to take an infant along. Many 3-wheelers can fold flat, and then be put up in a upright position. This is great when you have limited space in your boot or a small amount of storage space at home. However, some require you to take out the front wheel when folding if you wish to fit into even smaller spaces. Manoeuvrability Three-wheeled buggies typically offer better manoeuvrability than four-wheeled pushchairs. 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 provide stability on rougher terrain. Some models can be used with an additional buggy or seat, if you plan to expand your family. If you're planning to take your three-wheeled buggy off roads, you should consider selecting a model with air-filled tyres (also called pneumatic tyres) which can cope with the toughest terrain. These tyres may need to be filled from time to time, but they will be more durable and puncture-proof compared to solid tyres. Find a model with a the ability to lock the swivelling wheel on the front to assist you in maneuvering difficult surfaces. When folded, three-wheelers can be more bulky than buggies with four wheels due to the single wheel on the front. Check to see if the model you're considering can fit into the boot of your car and can be stood up, should it be necessary. Some models are able to be folded with just one hand, and they're freestanding when collapsed. This can make them more compact in car boot spaces that are smaller. A quality 3 wheel pushchair is able to cope with most terrain from busy main streets to tracks through woodlands. However, it is important to consider the purpose you'll use it for day-to-day. If you will be making the school run using it, it must 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 can be locked. This will help keep the ride in place. Kath who is an MFM reviewer, discovered that her three-wheeled stroller was able to handle both urban and rural walks. Kath said it negotiated rocky paths, cobbles and bumpy pavements effortlessly and was comfortable to jog with too. It's also a great choice for day trips, since it offers plenty of storage space, including a large and spacious basket that has a zip-top cover and an expandable 50+ UV hood. It can be modified to meet the needs of babies starting at birth, using an infant carry cot or a lie-flat seat. It's 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 fits in the frame of the buggy instead of sitting on top like a modular seat would. This makes it easier to maintain an ergonomically appropriate position for the baby, resulting in a lower center of gravity, which is just the right height. This results in a smoother 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 more stability and balance. These buggy seats also feature Sling fabrics that are simple to clean and durable. These fabrics were designed specifically for the sling chair and are durable and air-tight. They are also easy to maintain using mild soap and warm water. If you're a jogger or enjoy off-roading, then an all terrain buggy is more likely to meet your needs than a four-wheel buggy. These styles generally have a larger, more stable base 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 a new 3-wheeler to its line-up with the Stella. This all-terrain stroller boasts a large and spacious travel system seat unit which can be set either parent or world facing. It also reclines flat and features an upgraded 5-point safety belt. It can be used with car seats or a carrycot starting at birth. It also has an ample shopping basket. Designed for the most discerning buggy owners, this luxury 3 wheeler is as stunning to look at as it is enjoyable to use. The angular frame has a stunning pewter finish with touches of burnished aluminium. It's a true show-stopper. This is a great choice for active parents. It features a spacious, padded seat which can be positioned either in the direction of the parent or facing the world. It also comes with an upgraded 5-point harness as well as an entire set of rain covers. Modular Seat Modular seating offers a wide range of configurations to meet different seating needs. Modular seating can be easily adjusted to create a cozy setting for watching movies, or an open layout to entertain guests. A lot of modular seating systems include removable cushions, making it easy to clean up spills or stains. Modular Seating can be designed to blend with the existing decor or stand out as an accent piece. A variety of color, fabric, and shape options means that you can find an option for modular seating that suits your style. Many functional features are offered in modular seating, such as hidden storage compartments that allow easy organization and decluttering of living spaces. 3-wheel buggies are ideal for off-road or all terrain adventures because they offer more stability than strollers with four wheels. The large, highly manoeuvrable front wheel allows for a quick and smooth motion, while the tyres are generally air-filled and feature suspension, providing an excellent ride on even the most difficult trails and roads. The wheels are not as close to the ground on these pushchairs, as they are with 4 wheeled pushchairs. This makes them perfect for walking uphill. Often 3-wheel prams are favorite for parents who love running and jogging with their children, as they provide excellent agility and are less bulky than their 4 wheel counterparts. The GB Upp XL for example features a sleek, burnished silver aluminum frame, a quick one-hand fold and forward and rear facing seats, while the Babyzen Yoyo has an all black frame, a carrycot with fully lie-flat position, air-filled tyres and three recline positions. Pushchairs And Prams is another great all-terrain option. It's extremely light, highly maneuverable and amazingly stylish. The buggy will last from birth, with the carrycot included, to toddlerhood, with the seat that is modular. All this is within the footprint of a single buggy. The most recent model, duet™, is a side-by-side buggy that's compact enough for urban use yet big on innovation and control. It features a unique fabric seat that is placed in the frame with a perfect fit at the perfect height to distribute weight. This makes it easy for jumps over kerbs, and navigates cities and neighborhoods.
