MadeForMums reviews editor Kath tried one of these three-wheelers with her newborn and 3 year old daughter, putting it through its paces on road and on a rocky surface. Check out her review here.

Stability

With four wheels and a centre of gravity that is balanced by the weight of your child's seat, 4-wheel buggies are generally thought to be more stable than 3-wheelers. But that doesn't mean that a three-wheel buggy isn't worth a look, since many of these models are designed to cope with anything from rough terrain to busy high streets.

Choose a buggy that has large rear wheels and one that locks on the front. This will make it more comfortable to drive and less likely to snap apart on bumpy roads. These buggies for all-terrain use also have pneumatic tires, which are perfect for handling non-paved surfaces. They can be used on sandy beaches and tracks in woodlands.

They are also excellent buggies to run with since they offer excellent stability on more rough terrain and can help you stay with your running companion. They can also go up and down steep kerbs, and a lot of them come with spring suspension built-in so that your baby can enjoy an enjoyable ride.

The one thing that makes a 3-wheeled pushchair tricky to manoeuvre is the wide frame, which can make it more difficult to maneuver through narrow and tight doorways than a 4-wheeler. However certain manufacturers have addressed this issue with an innovative design that makes the wheels turn up when they are not in use, which reduces their overall size and helps you to get through doorways without difficulty.

You'll also have to think about whether your buggy is suitable for your little one from birth or if you're thinking of using it with an infant car seat or carry cot. If so, ensure that it is in the ability to lie flat and if the design is compatible with other seats and buggy boards (if you'd like to add an infant onboard). Many 3-wheelers can fold flat, and then be put up in a upright position. This is a great option when you have a small boot space or have limited storage at home. Some will require you to take out the front wheel prior to folding in order to fit into even more compact space.

Manoeuvrability

Three-wheeled buggies can be more maneuverable than four-wheeled strollers. A majority of them have a swivelling wheels on the front, which allows you to steer and change direction using one hand. Some models also have a lockable front wheel which gives you the stability you need on rough terrain. Some models can be used with a second seat or buggy board in case you're planning to expand your family.

If you are planning to remove your three-wheeled buggies from the paved roads then you should opt for one with pneumatic tyres. They are able to handle the most difficult terrain. They may have to be regularly pumped up from time intervals, but they'll be more durable and puncture-proof than solid tyres. Look for a model with the ability to lock the swivelling wheel on the front to aid you in navigating difficult surfaces.

A single front wheel may also be a reason that three wheel pushchairs-wheelers tend to be heavier than buggies with four wheels when folded. Be sure that the model you pick fits inside your car's boot and can be placed upright if needed. Certain models can be folded using one hand and stand up when collapsed. This will save space in a small car boot.

A good three wheel pushchair-wheel pushchair can handle most terrains from busy streets to forest tracks. However, it is important to consider the purpose you'll use 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 intend to jog with it, make sure it has a swivelling'stretch front wheel' that can be locked. This will help keep the ride in place.

Fabric Sling Seat

The main difference between a seat made of fabric and a modular one is the fabric sling. It is a part of the buggy frame, instead of being placed on top like a modular chair. This allows for a more ergonomically correct posture for the baby that instantly gives a lower centre of gravity and a more appropriate height. This results in an easier push, a less hefty curb pop (you do not require the same amount of effort and weight to lift the buggy off the curb's edge) and a better balance and stability.

These buggy seats also feature Sling fabrics that are simple to clean and durable. These fabrics were developed specifically for sling chairs and are extremely durable and ventilated. They also have a great anti-aging capability and are easy to clean using water and soap.
