15 Things You're Not Sure Of About 3 Wheeled Buggies
3 Wheeled Buggies

A 3-wheel buggy can be used for off-road walking and for traversing terrains such as uneven paths or woodland tracks. They are also more easy to maneuver up and down kerbs than 4-wheel models.

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

Stability

With four wheels and a centre of gravity that is balanced by the weight of your child in the seat, buggies with four wheels are generally considered to be more stable than triwheelers. Three-wheel buggies are still worth considering since they can handle everything from rough terrain to busy streets.

For a buggy that's really easy to handle and will not fall over on bumpy pavements, look for one with large rear wheels and an adjustable front wheel that locks. These all-terrain buggies often have pneumatic tyres too, which are great at handling non-paved surfaces and can even be used on sandy beaches or woodland tracks.

3 wheel buggy are also excellent buggies to run with because they provide great stability on more rough terrain and can help you stay with your running companion. They can also be used to go up and down steep kerbs, and many have built-in spring suspension so your baby will have a comfortable ride.

A stroller with three wheels isn't easy to maneuver due to its wide frame. It can be more difficult to maneuver through doorways and narrow spaces than a 4-wheeler. Some manufacturers have solved this issue with an innovative design that turns the wheels upside down when they are not in use. This reduces their size and makes it easier to squeeze through doors.

You'll also have to think about whether the buggy you choose to use is suitable for your child from birth or if you're thinking of using it in conjunction with an infant car seat or carry cot. Find out if the buggy comes with a lie-flat feature 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 then be put up in a upright position. This is a great option when you have limited space in your boot or limited storage at home. Certain 3-wheelers require you to remove the front wheel to fold them into smaller sizes.

Manoeuvrability

Three-wheeled buggies usually offer better manoeuvrability than pushchairs with four wheels. Many of them have a swivelling wheel on the front, which allows you to control and change direction with only one hand. Some models also come with a lockable front wheels which gives you security on more difficult terrain. Some models can be used with an additional buggy or seat, should you decide to grow your family.

If you intend to remove your three-wheeled buggies from the roads that are paved it is recommended to choose an option that has pneumatic tyres. They can handle the most difficult terrain. These tyres will need regular pumping but will be far more durable than solid tyres and more likely to be puncture-proof. Look for a model with an adjustable swivelling front wheel that locks to help you negotiate tricky surfaces.

When folded, three-wheelers may be heavier than buggies with four wheels due to the single wheel on the front. Check that your chosen model can fit into the boot of your car and can be stood up, in the event that it is needed. Some models can be folded using one hand and stand up when collapsed. This can save space in a small car boot.

A quality 3 wheel pushchair can cope with all terrains, from busy high streets to tracks through woodlands. But it's important to consider what you'll be using it for day-to-day. If you'll be doing the school run, it must be able to handle steep kerbs and slopes. If you plan to jog on it, ensure it has a swivelling "stretch front wheel' that can be locked. This will keep the ride in place.

MFM reviewer Kath discovered her three-wheeled buggy able to cope really well on urban and countryside walks. Kath said it was able to navigate cobbles, rough paths and uneven pavements effortlessly and felt pleasant when running. It's also a great choice for day trips, since it offers plenty of storage space, including a huge, spacious basket with 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 a carry cot, in addition to being compatible with the majority of popular second-seats and buggy boards.

Fabric Sling Seat

The primary difference between a fabric sling and modular seat is that the fabric sling is placed in the frame of the buggy rather than sitting on top of it like a modular seat. This allows for a more ergonomically correct position for baby that instantly gives lower center of gravity that is at the proper height. This translates into an easier push, a lighter curb pop (you don't need as much weight and effort to push the buggy over the nose of a curb) and a better balance and stability.

The sling fabric used in these kinds of seats are very hard-wearing and easy to clean. These fabrics were developed specifically for the sling chair and are UV-resistant and air-tight. They also have a great anti-aging capability and are easy to clean using water and soap.

If you're a jogger or you like off-roading, then an all-terrain buggy is more likely to meet your requirements than a four-wheeler. These styles have a wider base they are more stable and use air-filled tyres to provide smooth movement over rough terrain.

Maxi-Cosi, a brand known for its car seats, has added a new 3-wheeler with the Stella to its range of products. This all-terrain buggy boasts an impressive huge and spacious travel system seat unit that can be a world-facing or parent facing and reclines flat using a new 5-point safety harness. It can be used from birth using a car seat or carrycot and comes with a decently size shopping basket and hood with zip pockets, and a convenient one-hand fold.

For the most discerning buggy owners, this luxury 3 wheeler is as stunning to look at as it is to operate. The sleek frame features a stunning pewter finish with accents of burnished aluminium. It's a show-stopper. A large, padded seat that can be used as world or parent-facing with a new 5-point safety harness as well as an entire set of rain covers make this a great choice for active parents.

Modular Seat

Modular seating can be used to create many different configurations to suit different seating needs. It doesn't matter if it's a comfortable setup to watch films or a large arrangement to entertain guests, modular seating can adjust easily. A lot of modular seating systems come with cushion covers that can be removed which makes it easier to wash spills and stain.

Modular Seating can be designed to blend in with existing decors or be a standout as an accent piece. You can choose from a range of fabrics, colors, and shapes to create an elegant and modular seating design that fits your personal style. Modular seating also has various practical features, like hidden storage compartments that make it easy to organization.

3-wheel buggies are particularly good for off-road or all terrain adventures since they offer more stability than 4-wheel strollers. The large front wheel, which is highly maneuverable, allows for smooth and agile movement. The tyres that are typically air-filled and have suspension, offer a comfortable ride even on the roughest roads and trails. The wheels are not as close to the ground on these pushchairs, as they are on four wheeled pushchairs. This makes them ideal for walking uphill.

Often, 3-wheel prams are a favourite for parents who enjoy running and jogging with their baby 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 aluminium frame, with an easy one-hand fold as well as forward and rear facing seats. Meanwhile, the Babyzen Yoyo has an all black frame, a carrycot that has a fully lie-flat position with air-filled tyres as well as 3 recline positions.

Another fantastic all-terrain choice is the incredibly lightweight, highly maneuverable and amazingly fashionable Mountain Buggy Sport verso. This is a buggy that will truly protect your wallet from the future and can take you from birth using the carrycot, right through to toddlerhood using the seat that can be rearranged (and beyond!). It all fits within the footprint of a single buggy.
