3 Wheeled Buggies A 3-wheeler is ideal for off-roading and tackling terrain that is bumpy, like woodland tracks. They are also more easy to maneuver around kerbs than 4-wheel models. Kath, the editor of MadeForMums' reviews, tested one of these three-wheelers on tarmac, as well as on a variety of terrains. Read her review here. Stability Four-wheel buggies with their centre of gravity balanced by the weight of your child in the seat are generally more stable than three-wheelers. However, that doesn't mean the three-wheel buggie isn't worth considering, as many of these models are designed to cope with everything from rough terrain to bustling high streets. Look for a buggy with large rear wheels, as well as a lockable wheel on the front. This will make it easier to drive and less likely to fall apart when you're on bumpy roads. These all-terrain buggies typically have pneumatic tyres as well, which are ideal 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 because they provide great stability on more rough terrain and can aid you in staying with your running partner. They can also go up and down steep kerbs, and many of them come with a spring suspension built-in so that your baby can enjoy a smooth ride. A stroller with 3 wheels can be difficult to maneuver because of its wide frame. It is more difficult to maneuver through doorways and narrow spaces than a 4-wheeler. However certain manufacturers have addressed this issue by implementing clever design that lets the wheels fold upwards when not in use, which reduces their overall size and allows you get through doors with ease. It's also important to consider whether your buggy is suitable for your child from birth, or if you're planning on using it in conjunction with an infant car seat or carry cot. Find out if the buggy comes with the ability to lie flat, and if it is compatible with a second seat and buggy boards if you intend to bring your toddler along. A lot of 3-wheelers fold flat and be upright when folded which is useful if you have a a small car boot or a small storage space at home. Some will require you to remove the front wheel prior to folding in order to fit in even more compact spaces. Manoeuvrability Three-wheeled buggies can be more maneuverable than strollers with four wheels. They usually have a swivelling wheel on the front that allows you to shift direction quickly and steer with just one hand. Some models come with a lockable wheel that can offer stability on rough terrain. Some models can be used with an additional seat or buggy board in case you want to expand your family. If you're planning to take your three-wheeled bike off the roads, you should consider choosing one that has tyres with air in them (also called pneumatic tyres) that can withstand the toughest terrain. These tyres will need regular pumping but will be much more durable than solid tyres and more likely to be puncture-proof. Find a model with a an adjustable swivelling front wheel that locks to aid you in navigating difficult surfaces. When folded, three-wheelers can be heavier than four-wheeled buggies due to the single wheel on the front. Make sure the model you pick fits inside your car's boot and can be positioned in a straight line if needed. Some models fold by one hand, and they can be rearranged when folded. This can save space in the boot of your car. A good 3 wheel pushchair can cope with all terrains, from busy main streets to tracks through woodlands. However, it is important to consider the purpose you'll use for your day-to-day use. If you will be making the school run with it, it must be able handle the kerbs and steep slopes. If you intend to jog on it, ensure it has a swivelling'stretch front wheel' that is locked. This will help keep the ride stable. Kath, a MFM reviewer, discovered that her stroller with three wheels was able to handle both urban and walks in the countryside. She said that it navigated cobbles, rocky paths and uneven pavements with ease and was comfortable to jog with. It's also a great choice for day trips, as it comes with plenty of storage space, including a huge ample basket with a zip-top cover as well as an extendable 50+ UV hood. It can also be modified for baby from birth with a lie-flat seat or a carry cot, as well as being compatible with a variety of popular second seats and buggy boards. Fabric Sling Seat The key difference between a fabric sling versus a modular seat is that the fabric sling sits comfortably inside the frame of the buggy instead of sitting on top like a modular seat would. This enables a much more ergonomically-correct position for baby that instantly gives a lower centre of gravity that is at the proper height. This results in a smoother push, a lighter curb-pop (you don't have to exert as much effort and weight to lift the buggy off the curb) and improved balance and stability. These buggy seats also feature sling fabrics that are easy to clean and durable. These fabrics were developed specifically for Sling chairs and are highly durable and breathable. They also have an excellent durability and are easy to clean using mild soap and water. If you're a jogger, or enjoy a bit of off-roading, a all terrain 3 wheeler is likely to be more your bag than a 4-wheel buggy. These types have a bigger base, are more stable and utilize air-filled tyres for smooth, easy mobility over rough terrain. Maxi-Cosi, a name that is well-known for its car seat collection, has added a new 3-wheeler called the Stella to its range of products. The all-terrain stroller has a large and spacious travel system seat unit which can be placed either parent or world facing. It can also recline flat and comes with an improved 5-point safety belt. It can be used from birth with an infant car seat or carrycot and comes with a reasonably size shopping basket and a hood that has zip pockets, and a convenient one-hand fold. This luxury 3 wheeler, designed for the most discerning buggy owner is as stunning to look at as it is functional. 3 wheeled pushchair is finished in a stunning pewter black, with hints of silver-burnished aluminum throughout and gives it a true wow factor. A big, padded seat that is world or parent facing with a more secure 5-point safety harness as well as a full set of rain covers makes this a great option for parents who are active. Modular Seat Modular seating can be used to create many different configurations to suit various seating requirements. It doesn't matter if it's a comfortable setup for watching movies or a spacious configuration for entertaining guests, modular seating is able to adjust easily. A lot of modular seating systems come with removable cushion covers, making it easier to wash spills and staining. Modular Seating is available in different styles to match existing decor or as an accent piece. You can pick from a variety of colors, fabrics and shapes to create a modular seating that suits your style. Many functional features are available in modular seating such as hidden storage compartments that permit simple organization and clearing of living spaces. 3-wheel buggies offer more stability than strollers with four wheels, making them ideal for off-road or all-terrain adventures. The huge, highly maneuverable front wheel enables agile and smooth motion, while the tyres are typically air filled and have 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 on four wheeled pushchairs. This makes them great for walking uphill. Often 3-wheel prams are a favourite for parents who enjoy running and jogging with their child because they offer superior agility and are less bulky than their 4 wheel counterparts. The GB Upp XL for example features a sleek, burnished silver aluminium frame, with an easy fold that can be folded in one hand and rear and forward facing seats. The Babyzen Yoyo has an all black frame, a carrycot with the ability to lie flat in full, air-filled tyres and 3 recline positions. Mountain Buggy Sport verso is another fantastic all-terrain choice. It's extremely lightweight, highly maneuverable and amazingly stylish. This buggy is truly future-proof for your wallet and can take you from the moment you are born with the carrycot, all the way to toddlerhood using the seat that is modular (and beyond!). It all fits within the footprint of a single buggy. Duet™ is a side-by-side buggy that's compact enough for city life yet also innovative and controlled.
