3 Wheeled Buggies A 3-wheeler can be used for off-road walking and for traversing terrains such as rough roads or woodland tracks. They are also easier to navigate between kerbs and up and down them as opposed to 4-wheel models. MadeForMums reviews editor Kath tried one of these three-wheelers while with her newborn and 3 year old daughter, putting 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 balancing by your child's weight in the seat, are generally more stable than three-wheelers. Three-wheel buggies are still worth considering since they can handle everything from rough terrain to busy streets. For a buggy that's easy to control and will not be a problem on bumpy roads, look for one with big rear wheels and a lockable front wheel. These all-terrain buggies often have pneumatic tyres as well, which are excellent for handling non-paved surfaces and can even be used on sandy beaches or tracks in woodland. They're also great buggies to jog with since they offer excellent stability on more rough terrain and can help you stay 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 child will enjoy a comfortable ride. The main thing that can make a 3-wheeled pushchair tricky to manoeuvre is the wide frame, which can make it difficult to squeeze through tight spaces and narrow doors than a 4-wheeler. However certain manufacturers have addressed this issue by implementing clever design that lets the wheels turn up when not in use, which decreases their overall size and allows you navigate through doorways with ease. You'll also have to consider whether your buggy is suitable for your baby from birth or if you're planning on using it in conjunction with an infant car seat or carry cot. If so, make sure it has the ability to lie flat and if the design is compatible with second seats and buggy boards (if you'd like to add the toddler to the buggy). Many 3-wheelers will fold flat and can be stood upright when collapsed and is handy if you have an insufficient car boot or limited storage space at home. However, some will require you to take out the front wheel when folding in order to fit into even smaller space. Manoeuvrability Three-wheeled buggies are more movable than strollers with four wheels. A majority of them have a swivelling wheels on the front, which allows you to steer and change direction with just one hand. Some models also come with a lockable front wheels which can give you security on more difficult terrain. Some models can even be used with a second seat or buggy board if you're planning to grow your family. If you're thinking of taking your three-wheeled buggy off paved tracks, it's worth opting for a vehicle with air-filled tyres (also called pneumatic tyres) which are able to withstand the most challenging terrain. They will require periodic pumping, but will be far more durable than solid tyres and are more likely to be puncture-proof. You should look for one with a swiveling front wheel that is locked to assist you on difficult terrains. When folded, three-wheelers may be heavier than four-wheeled buggies due to the single wheel on the front. Be sure that the model you pick can fit in the boot of your car and can be set up upright if needed. Some models can be folded with just one hand and stand on their own when collapsed, which can make them more compact in smaller car boots. A good 3 wheel pushchair is able to cope with most terrain from busy high streets to woodland tracks. It is important to consider what you'll be using it for every day. If you'll be doing the school run, it must be able to handle steep slopes and kerbs. If you'll be running with it, check that it has an adjustable swivelling'stretch' lockable front wheel to ensure that the ride is stable. MFM reviewer Kath found her tri-wheeled buggy was able to handle well on rural and urban walks. She said it was able to negotiate rocky paths, cobbles and bumpy pavements easily and felt pleasant when running. It's also a great option for day trips, since it comes with plenty of storage space, including a large, spacious basket with zip-top cover and an extendable 50+ UV hood. It can also be modified to fit babies as young as an adjustable seat that can be sat on or a carry cot, in addition to being compatible with a variety of popular second seats and buggy boards. Fabric Sling Seat The main difference between a fabric and a modular seat is the fabric sling. It sits inside the frame of the buggy as opposed to being placed on top like the modular chair. This allows for a more ergonomically appropriate position for babies that instantly gives an lower centre of gravity and a more appropriate 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 increased stability and balance. These buggy seats also feature Sling fabrics that are simple to clean and durable. Developed specifically with sling chair applications in mind These fabrics are extremely UV resistant and extremely breathable. They also have a great durability and are easy to clean using water and soap.

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 are not as close to the ground on these pushchairs as they would be with 4 wheeled pushchairs. This makes them great for walking uphill. Parents who love to run and jog with their children usually opt for strollers with three wheels because they're more agile and sleeker than their four-wheel counterparts.
