3 Wheeled Buggies

A 3-wheeler is ideal for off-road walking & tackling terrain from bumpy pavements to woodland tracks. They are also more easy to maneuver up and down kerbs than models with four wheels.

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

Stability

Four-wheel buggies, which have their centre of gravity balancing by your child's weight within the seat are generally more stable than three-wheelers. Three-wheel buggies are nevertheless worth considering since they can take on anything from rough terrain to busy streets.

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

They are also the best buggies to be running with, since they provide excellent stability over rough terrain and can help you keep pace with your jogging partner. They are also great for climbing and down steep kerbs, and most of them come with a suspension built in that ensures your child will enjoy a comfortable ride.

One factor that makes a pushchair with three wheels difficult to maneuver is the broad frame, which makes it harder to fit through tight spaces and narrow doors than a 4-wheeler. However certain manufacturers have addressed this issue by implementing an innovative design that makes the wheels flip up when not in use, which decreases their overall size and allows you get through doors without difficulty.

It's also important to think about whether your buggy is suitable for your baby from birth, or if you're thinking of using it with an infant car seat or carry cot. If so, make sure it has an upright position and if the design is compatible with second-seats and buggy boards (if you'd like to add an infant onboard). Many 3 wheel jogger-wheelers can fold flat, and then be put up in a upright position. This is a good option for those with limited space in your boot or a small amount of storage space at home. Some 3-wheelers require you to take off the front wheel to fold them into smaller spaces.

Manoeuvrability

three wheel buggies-wheeled buggies generally offer better manoeuvrability than four-wheeled pushchairs. A lot of them feature a swivelling wheel on the front that allows you to control and change direction with just one hand. Certain models come with locks on the wheel to offer stability on rough terrain. Some models can be used with an additional seat or buggy board in case you're planning to grow your family.

If you're considering taking your three-wheeled vehicle off of paved tracks, it's worth opting for a vehicle equipped with tyres filled with air (also called pneumatic tyres) which are able to withstand the most difficult terrain. These tyres may need to be regularly pumped up from time the point, but they will be more durable and puncture-proof than solid tyres. Find a model with a an adjustable swivelling front wheel that locks to aid you in navigating difficult surfaces.

When folded, three-wheelers may be more bulky than buggies with four wheels because of the single front wheel. Check that your chosen model fits in the boot of your car and can be stood up, in the event that it is necessary. Certain models can be folded using one hand, and can be raised when folded. This will save space in small car boot.

A good 3 wheel pushchair can cope with most terrain from busy main streets to woodland tracks. It's important to consider how you will use it every day. If you'll be doing the school run, it ought to be able to cope with steep slopes and kerbs. If you're planning to run on it, ensure it has a swivelling'stretch front wheel' that can be locked. This will keep the ride smooth.

Fabric Sling Seat

The main difference between a fabric sling versus a modular seat is that the fabric sling sits comfortably inside the frame of the buggy as opposed to sitting on top like a modular seat. This allows for a more ergonomically correct position of the baby, leading to a lower center of gravity, which is just the right height. This results in a smoother push, a less hefty 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 fabric used in these kinds of buggy seats are also extremely durable and easy to clean. Developed specifically with the use of sling chairs in mind, these fabrics are incredibly UV resistant and air-tight. These fabrics are also very easy to maintain with mild soap and warm water.

The large, highly manoeuvrable front wheel enables agile and smooth movement, whilst the tyres are generally air filled and have suspension, providing an excellent ride on even the roughest trails and roads. They're also great for walking up hills since the wheels aren't as close to the ground as they are on four wheel pushchairs.
