3 Wheeled Buggies

A 3 wheel stroller with seat-wheel buggy can be used for off-road walking and for tackling terrain such as bumpy pavements or tracks in woodlands. They are also more easy to manoeuvre up and down kerbs than models with four wheels.

MadeForMums reviews editor Kath tried one of these three-wheelers while with her newborn and three year old, putting it through its paces on the road and on a rocky surface. You can read her full review here.

Stability

With four wheels and a central point of gravity that is balanced by the weight of your child's seat, buggies with four wheels are generally thought to be more stable than triwheelers. Three-wheel buggies are still worthwhile to consider as they are able to handle everything from rough terrain to busy streets.

For a buggy that's really easy to maneuver and won't let you down on bumpy roads, look for one with large rear wheels and an adjustable front wheel that locks. These all-terrain buggies often have pneumatic tyres, too. They are great at handling uneven surfaces and can be used on sandy beaches or woodland tracks.

A stroller with three wheels can be a challenge to maneuver due to its large frame. It can be more difficult to maneuver through narrow spaces and doorways than a 4-wheeler. However, some manufacturers have tackled this issue by implementing an innovative design that makes the wheels turn upwards when not in use, which decreases their overall size and helps you navigate through doorways without difficulty.

It's also important to think about whether the buggy you choose to use 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. Check if the buggy has the ability to lie flat, and if it is compatible with a second seat as well as buggy boards, if you are planning to bring a toddler along. Many 3-wheelers can fold flat, and then be put up in a upright position. This is a great option when you have limited space in your boot or have limited storage at home. Some 3-wheelers require you remove the front wheel in order to fold them into smaller sizes.

Manoeuvrability

Three-wheeled buggies generally offer better manoeuvrability than four-wheeled pushchairs. They usually have a swivelling wheel on the front that allows you to change direction quickly and steer with just one hand. Some models have wheels that lock to provide stability on rougher terrain. Some models can be used with an additional seat or buggy board if you're looking to grow your family.

If you're thinking of taking your three-wheeled bike off the roads, you should consider opting for a vehicle equipped with tyres filled with air (also called pneumatic tyres) which can cope with the toughest terrain. These tyres may need to be filled from time to time, but they will be more durable and puncture-proof compared to solid tyres. You should look for one with a swiveling front wheel that can be locked to assist you in navigating tricky surfaces.

A single front wheel could indicate that three-wheelers can be bulkier than four-wheeled buggies when folded. Make sure the model you choose can fit in the boot of your car and can be raised in the event that it is needed. Some models can be folded by one hand, and can be rearranged when folded. This can save space in the boot of your car.

A well-constructed 3 wheel pushchair is able to cope with all terrains, from busy main streets to woodland tracks. It's important to think about what you'll be using for your day-to-day use.

MFM reviewer Kath found her three-wheeled buggy able to cope really well with rural and urban walks. She said that it navigated cobbles, rocky paths and bumpy pavements easily and was comfortable to run with. It's also a great choice for day trips as it has plenty of storage space, including a large ample basket with a zip-top cover as well as an extendable 50+ UV hood. It is also able to be adapted to fit babies as young as a lie-flat seat or carry cot, as well as being compatible with most popular second seats and buggy boards.

Fabric Sling Seat

The main difference between a seat made of fabric and a modular one is the fabric sling. It is placed inside the buggy frame, as opposed to being placed on top like the modular chair. This enables a much more ergonomically correct position for babies and instantly provides a lower centre of gravity at the right height. This translates into an easier push, a less hefty curb pop (you don't require much effort or weight to pop the buggy over the curb's edge) and better stability and balance.

The sling fabrics that are used in these types of buggy seats are also extremely durable and easy to clean. These fabrics were developed specifically for Sling chairs and are highly durable and air-tight. They are also easy to maintain using mild soap and warm water.
