3 Wheeled Buggies

A 3 wheel all terrain buggy-wheel buggy is great for off-roading 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 wheel all terrain pushchair-wheelers with her newborn and 3 year old, and put it through its paces on tarmac and on tricky ground. 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 typically more stable than three-wheelers. But that doesn't mean an older model with three wheels isn't worth considering, since some of these models are designed to cope with everything from rough terrain to busy high-streets.

If you want a buggie that is easy to maneuver and won't fall over 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 uneven surfaces and can even be used on sandy beaches or tracks in woodland.

They're also the best 3 wheel travel system buggies to be jogging with, as they provide great stability over rougher ground and aid in keeping up with your jogging partner. They can also go up and down steep kerbs and many of them come with a spring suspension that is built-in, so your baby will have a smooth ride.

One thing that can make a pushchair with three wheels difficult to manoeuvre is the wide frame, which makes it more difficult to maneuver through narrow and tight doors than a four-wheeler. Some manufacturers have addressed this problem with a clever design which flips the wheels up when they are not in use. This reduces their size and makes them easier to fit through doorways.

It's also important to think about whether the buggy you choose to use is suitable for your child from birth, or if you're planning on using it with an infant car seat or carry cot. Find out if the buggy comes with the ability to lie flat, and if it's compatible with a second seat and buggy boards if you plan to take an infant along. Many 3-wheelers can fold flat, and then be put up in a upright position. This is great for those with an unwieldy boot space or have limited storage at home. Some 3 wheeled strollers-wheelers require you remove the front wheel in order to fold them into smaller sizes.

Manoeuvrability

Three-wheeled buggies typically offer better manoeuvrability than pushchairs with four wheels. Many of them have a swivelling wheel on the front that allows you to steer and change direction using one hand. Some models also come with a lockable front wheels which can give you security on more difficult terrain. Some models can be used with an additional seat or buggy board if you're planning to expand your family.

If you're planning to take your three-wheeled bike off the roads, you should consider selecting a model that has tyres with air in them (also known as pneumatic tyres) that can withstand the most difficult terrain. These tyres may require periodic pumping, but will be far more durable than tyres that are solid and are more likely to be puncture-proof. You should look for one with an swiveling front wheel that can be locked to help you navigate tricky surfaces.

Having a single front wheel can also indicate that three-wheelers can be more bulkier than buggies with four wheels when folded. Be sure that the model you pick fits inside your car's boot and can be placed upright if required. Some models can be folded with one hand, and they stand up when collapsed. This can help save space in a small car boot.

A quality three-wheel pushchair will be used on all terrains from busy streets to forest tracks. It's important to consider how you will use it every day. If you'll be running the school run using it, it must be able to handle the kerbs and steep slopes. If you'll be running with it, ensure it has an adjustable swivelling'stretch' lockable front wheel to ensure that the ride is steady.

MFM reviewer Kath found her tri-wheeled buggy was able to handle well on both rural and urban walks. Kath noted that it was able to navigate cobbles, rough paths, and bumpy pavements easily and was comfortable while jogging. It's also a great option for day trips since it offers plenty of storage space. This includes a large, spacious, zip-top covered basket and an extended 50+ UV hood. It can be adapted to meet the needs of babies from birth, with a carry cot or lie-flat seat. It is also compatible with the most popular second seats and stroller boards.

Fabric Sling Seat

The main difference between a fabric sling and a modular seats is that the fabric sling is placed snugly inside the buggy frame as opposed to sitting on top as a modular seat would. This allows for a more comfortable and ergonomically-correct 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 need to exert as much effort and weight to lift the buggy off the curb) and more stability and balance.

These seats also come with Sling fabrics that are simple to clean and durable. Developed specifically with sling chair applications in mind they are durable and extremely breathable. They are also easy to maintain using mild soap and warm water.

If you're a jogger or like to do some off-roading, an all terrain buggy is more likely to meet your needs than a four-wheel buggy. These styles tend to have a wider, more stable base and use air-filled tyres to ensure smooth, easy moving on uneven ground.

3-wheel buggies are more stable than 4-wheel strollers, making them ideal for off-road or all terrain adventures. The large, extremely maneuverable front wheel allows for agile and smooth motion, while the tyres are typically air filled and have suspension, providing an excellent ride on the roughest of roads and trails. The wheels are not as close to the ground on these pushchairs as they would be on four wheeled pushchairs. This makes them great for walking uphill.
