3 Wheeled Buggies

A 3-wheel buggy is perfect for off-road jogging and tackling terrain, from bumpy pavements to woodland tracks. They are also more easy to manoeuvre up and down kerbs than 4-wheel models.

Kath, the editor of MadeForMums reviews, tried one of these 3-wheelers on tarmac as well as on a variety of terrains. Read her review here.

Stability

Four-wheel buggies, which have their centre of gravity balanced by the weight of your child in the seat, are typically more stable than three-wheelers. Three-wheel buggies are still worth considering since they can handle anything from rough terrain to busy streets.

Look for a buggy with large rear wheels, and one that locks on the front. This makes it easier to drive and less likely to snap off when driving on rough roads. These all-terrain buggies often have pneumatic tyres, too. They are excellent for handling surfaces that aren't paved and can be used on sandy beaches or woodland tracks.

These are also the best 3 wheel stroller buggies to be running around in, as they offer great stability over rough terrain 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 built-in so that your baby can enjoy an enjoyable ride.

One thing that makes a pushchair with three wheels difficult to maneuver is the broad frame, which can make it harder to fit through tight spaces and narrow doors than a 4-wheeler. Some manufacturers have addressed this problem with an innovative design that flips the wheels upwards when they are not being used. This reduces their dimensions and makes it easier to maneuver through doorways.

You'll also need to think about 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. If so, check for the ability to lie flat and if the design is compatible with second seats and buggy boards (if you want to add an infant onboard). A lot of 3-wheelers fold flat and can be upright when folded - handy if you have an insufficient car boot or a small storage space at home. Some will require you to take out the front wheel prior to folding in order to fit in even smaller space.

Manoeuvrability

Three-wheeled buggies generally offer better manoeuvrability than four-wheeled pushchairs. A lot of them feature an swivelling wheel at the front which allows you to steer and change direction with just one hand. Some models come with wheels that lock to give you stability on more rough terrain. Some models can be used with a second seat or buggy board if you're planning to increase the size of your family.

If you're thinking of taking your three-wheeled vehicle off of roads, you should consider opting for a vehicle with air-filled tyres (also known as pneumatic tyres) that can withstand the most challenging terrain. They may have to be filled from time to intervals, but they'll be more durable and puncture-proof than solid tyres. You should look for models with a swiveling front wheel that is locked to assist you on difficult surfaces.

A single front wheel may also be a reason that three-wheelers tend to be more bulkier than buggies with four wheels when folded. Make sure the model you choose can fit into the boot of your vehicle and can be stood up, in the event that it is necessary. Some models can be folded using one hand and stand up when collapsed. This can save space in small car boot.

A quality three-wheel pushchair will take on any terrain from busy roads to forest tracks. It is important to consider what you'll be using it for every day. If you will be making the school run with it, it should be able handle steep slopes and kerbs. If you're planning to run on it, ensure it has a swivelling "stretch front wheel' that is locked. This will help keep the ride stable.

MFM reviewer Kath found her tri-wheeled buggy to be able to perform well on rural and urban walks. She said that it navigated cobbles, rough paths and uneven pavements with ease and felt pleasant to jog with. It's also a great option for day trips because it is packed with storage space. It comes with a large, spacious, zip-top basket that is covered and an extended 50+ UV hood. It can also be modified to accommodate babies from birth using a lie-flat seat or carry cot, in addition to being compatible with the majority of popular second-seats and buggy boards.

Fabric Sling Seat

The main difference between a fabric seat and a modular one is the fabric sling. It is a part of the frame of the buggy, as opposed to being placed on top 3 wheel strollers like a modular chair. This allows for a more ergonomically correct position of the baby, leading to a lower center of gravity at just the right height. This translates into an easier push, a less hefty curb pop (you do not require the same amount of effort and weight to lift the buggy off the curb's nose) and better balance and stability.

These seats also come with Sling fabrics that are simple to clean and durable. Developed specifically with the use of sling chairs in mind they are UV resistant and air-tight. They are also easy to maintain using mild soap and warm water.

If you're a jogger, or enjoy a bit of off-roading, a all terrain 3 wheeler could be more suited to your needs than a 4-wheel buggy. These models have a larger base, are more stable and have air-filled tyres that allow for smooth movement over rough terrain.

A brand most well-known for its car seats, Maxi-Cosi has recently added the latest 3 wheel parent facing pushchair-wheeler to its lineup with the Stella. The all-terrain buggy has an impressive spacious and impressively growing travel system seat unit that can be used as a world facing or parent facing and reclines flat thanks to an improved 5-point safety harness. It can be used with an infant car seat or carrycot from birth and has an ample shopping basket.

This 3 wheeler of luxury, designed for the most discerning buggy owner is as gorgeous to admire as it is functional. The angular frame is finished in a stunning pewter black with touches of silver-burnished aluminum throughout making it a complete wow factor. This is a great option for parents who are active. It features a spacious cushioned seat that can be placed either with the parent or world facing. It also features an improved 5-point harness and a set of rain covers.

Modular Seat

Modular seating can be configured in a variety of ways to meet a variety of seating needs. If you want a cozy setting for watching films or a large configuration for entertaining guests, modular seating can adjust easily. A lot of modular seating systems have cushion covers that can be removed, making it easier to wash spills and staining.

Modular Seating can be designed to blend with existing decor or be a standout as an accent piece. You can select from a wide variety of colors, fabrics and shapes to create an adjustable seating option that matches your personal style. Modular seating also comes with many functional features, including hidden storage compartments for easy storage.

3-wheel buggies are more stable than strollers with four wheels, making them ideal for off-road or all-terrain adventures. The huge, highly maneuverable front wheel allows for a quick and smooth motion, while the tyres are generally air filled and have suspension, allowing for a smooth ride on even the most difficult trails and roads. They are also ideal for walking up hills as the wheels aren't as close ground as they are on 4 wheel pushchairs.

Often, 3 wheel stroller with car seat-wheel prams are a popular choice for parents who enjoy running and jogging with their child because they offer superior mobility and are much more sleek than their 4-wheel counterparts. The GB Upp XL for example has a sleek burnished silver aluminum frame, an easy one-hand fold as well as rear and forward facing seats, while the Babyzen Yoyo has an all black frame, a carrycot that has a fully lie-flat position with air-filled tyres as well as three recline positions.

Mountain Buggy Sport verso is another great all-terrain option. It's extremely light and highly maneuverable. It's also incredibly stylish. This buggy truly future proofs your wallet and can take you from the moment you are born with the carrycot, all the way to toddlerhood with the seat that is modular (and beyond!). It all fits within the footprint of one buggy.

The most recent model, duet(tm), is a side-by-side vehicle that's small enough for urban living, yet with a lot of innovation and control. It features a unique seat made of fabric that is placed snugly within the frame at the ideal height for weight distribution. This allows for easy kerb jumping and navigating cities and neighborhoods.
