3 Wheeled Buggies

A 3-wheeler is ideal for off-roading and tackling terrain that is bumpy, like woodland tracks. They are also easier to move between kerbs and up and down them in comparison to 4-wheel models.

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

Stability

With four wheels and a centre of gravity that's balanced by the weight of your child in the seat, buggies with four wheels are generally thought to be more stable than triwheelers. However, that doesn't mean the three-wheel buggie isn't worth considering, as the majority of these models are made to withstand everything from rough terrain to bustling high streets.

For a buggy that's easy to handle and will not let you down on bumpy pavements, look for one with large rear wheels and a lockable front wheel. These buggies are typically equipped with pneumatic tyres too, which are great at handling non-paved surfaces and can even be used on sandy beaches or tracks in woodland.

A 3-wheeled stroller can be a challenge to maneuver because of its wide frame. It is more difficult to get through narrow spaces and doorways than a 4-wheeler. Some manufacturers have addressed this problem with an innovative design that flips the wheels up when they are not in use. This reduces their size and makes it easier to maneuver through doors.

It's also important to consider whether the buggy you choose to use is suitable for your child from birth or if you're thinking of using it with an infant car seat or carry cot. Make sure that the buggy has the ability to lie flat, and if it's compatible with a second seat and buggy boards if you plan to take an infant along. A lot of 3-wheelers fold flat, and later be placed upright. This is great when you have a small boot space or a small amount of storage space at home. Some will require you to take out the front wheel when folding in order to fit into even smaller space.

Manoeuvrability

When folded, three-wheelers may be heavier than buggies with four wheels because of the single wheel in front. Check that the model you choose fits in your car's boot and can be positioned upright if required. Some models can fold with one hand and stand on their own when collapsed, which can make them more compact in smaller car boots.

It can also be modified to fit babies as young as a lie-flat seat or carry cot, as well as being compatible with the majority of popular second seats and buggy boards.

Fabric Sling Seat

The primary difference between a fabric sling and a 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 would. This makes it easier to maintain an ergonomically correct position of the baby, resulting in a lower center of gravity, which is just the right height. This in turn makes for an easier push, a less hefty curb pop (you don't need the same amount of effort and weight to pop the buggy over the curb's nose) and a better stability and balance.

The sling fabrics used in these kinds of seats are extremely durable and easy to clean. These fabrics were developed specifically for sling chairs and are extremely UV resistant and breathable. They are also easy to maintain using mild soap and warm water.
