3 Wheeled Buggies

A 3 wheeled strollers-wheel buggy is perfect for off-road walking & dealing with terrain, from bumpy pavements to woodland tracks. They can also be easier to maneuver up and down kerbs than models with four wheels.

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. Check out her review here.

Stability

With four wheels and a centre of gravity that’s balanced by the weight of your child’s seat, buggies with four wheels are generally thought to be more stable than triwheelers. But that doesn’t mean a three-wheel buggy isn’t worth a look, since some of these models are made to withstand everything from rough terrain to bustling high-streets.

For a buggy that’s really easy to maneuver and won’t be a problem on bumpy roads, look for one with big rear wheels and an adjustable front wheel that locks. These all-terrain buggies also come with pneumatic tires, which are perfect for handling non-paved surfaces. They are able to be used even on sandy beaches and woodland tracks.

These are also the best buggies to be running around in, as they provide great stability over rough terrain and help you keep pace with your jogging partner. They’re also good at climbing and descending steep kerbs, and most of them come with suspension built-in that ensures your child will enjoy a comfortable ride.

A stroller with three wheels can be a challenge to maneuver because of its wide frame. It can be more difficult to get through doorways and narrow spaces than a 4-wheeler. However, some manufacturers have tackled this issue by implementing a clever design that makes the wheels flip upwards when not in use, which reduces their overall size and helps you get through doors easily.

If so, check for a lie-flat position and whether the design is compatible with second seats and buggy boards (if you’d like to add the toddler). Make sure that the buggy has a lie-flat feature and if it is compatible with a second seat and buggy boards if you plan to take an infant along. Many 3-wheelers can fold flat, and later be placed upright. This is great when you have an unwieldy boot space or limited storage at home. Certain 3-wheelers require you to take off the front wheel to fold them into smaller sizes.

Manoeuvrability

Three-wheeled buggies generally offer better manoeuvrability than four-wheeled pushchairs. A lot of them feature an swivelling wheel at the front that allows you to steer and change direction with one hand. Some models also come with a lockable front wheels which can give you stability on rougher terrain. Certain models can be used with an additional seat or buggy board if you plan to expand your family.

If you’re planning to take your three-wheeled vehicle off of roads, you should consider selecting a model equipped with tyres filled with air (also known as pneumatic tyres) which can cope with the most difficult terrain. These tyres might need to be regularly pumped up from time the point, but they will be more durable and puncture-proof compared to solid tyres. Choose a model that has a the ability to lock the swivelling wheel on the front to assist you in maneuvering difficult surfaces.

Having a single front wheel could mean that three-wheelers tend to be heavier than buggies with four wheels when folded. Be sure that the model you pick can fit in the boot of your car and can be placed in a straight line if needed. Some models fold by one hand, and can be raised when folded. This can save space in a small car boot.

A quality three-wheel pushchair will be used on all terrains from busy streets to forest tracks. It’s important to think about how you will use it every day. If you’ll be doing the school run using it, it should be able to handle sharp slopes and kerbs. If you plan to jog on it, ensure it has a swivelling’stretch front wheel’ that is locked. This will keep the ride stable.

Kath, a MFM reviewer, was able to determine that her three-wheeled stroller was able to handle urban and walks in the countryside. Kath noted that it could navigate rocky paths, cobbles, and bumpy pavements effortlessly and was comfortable while jogging. It’s also a great choice for day trips, as it has plenty of storage space, including a huge, spacious basket with zip-top cover and an extendable 50+ UV hood. It can be adjusted to meet the needs of a baby from birth, including an infant carry cot or a lay-flat seat. It’s also compatible with the most popular second seats and stroller boards.

Fabric Sling Seat

The main difference between a fabric sling and a modular seat is that the fabric sling fits in the frame of the buggy instead of sitting on top like a modular seat. This allows for a more ergonomically appropriate position for the baby, resulting in a lower center of gravity, which is just the right 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 increased stability and balance.

The sling fabrics that are used in these types of buggy seats are also very hard-wearing and easy to clean. These fabrics were designed specifically for sling chairs and are extremely durable and breathable. These fabrics are also very easy to maintain with mild soap and warm water.

If you’re a jogger, or are a fan of off-roading, an all-terrain 3 wheel all terrain pushchair wheeler could be more suited to your needs than a 4-wheeler. These styles tend to have a wider base, more stable and utilise air filled tyres to ensure smooth, easy moving over rough terrain.

Modular Seat

Modular seating allows for many different configurations to meet different seating needs. It doesn’t matter if it’s a comfortable setup to watch movies or a larger arrangement to entertain guests, modular seating can adjust easily. Many modular seating systems also come with removable cushion covers which makes it easier to clean up spills and stains.

Modular Seating is available in different designs to complement your current decor or as an accent piece. You can choose from a wide variety of colors, fabrics, and shapes to design a modular seating that suits your style. There are many functional features available in modular seating like hidden storage compartments that allow an easy organization and cleaning of living spaces.

3-wheel buggies are more stable than 4-wheel strollers, making them ideal for off-road and all terrain adventures. The large front wheel that is extremely maneuverable allows for smooth and swift movement. The tyres, which are usually air-filled and have suspension, give you a great ride on even the most rough 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 like to run and jog with their babies typically opt for 3-wheel strollers because they are more nimble and sleeker than their four-wheel counterparts. The GB Upp XL for example is a sleek and polished aluminum frame, which has a quick one-hand fold and forward and rear facing seats.
