A 3-wheel buggy is great for off-roading and dealing with terrain from bumpy pavements to woodland tracks. They are also simpler to maneuver on kerbs, and they are less prone to slipping down when compared to 4-wheel models.

MadeForMums reviews editor Kath tried one of these three-wheelers while with her newborn and three year old, putting it through its paces on tarmac and on tricky ground. Read her review here.

Stability

With four wheels and a center of gravity that's balanced by weight of your child in the seat, 4-wheel buggies are generally considered to be more stable than triwheelers. But that doesn't mean that an older model with three wheels isn't worth a look, since the majority of them are built to handle anything from rough terrain to bustling high streets.

For a buggy that's really easy to maneuver and will not be a problem on bumpy pavements, look for one with large rear wheels and a lockable front wheel. These all-terrain buggies also come with pneumatic tires that are ideal for handling unpaved surfaces. They are able to be used even on sandy beaches or woodland tracks.

They're also great buggies to jog with because they provide great stability on rougher terrain, and can aid you in staying with your running companion. They are also great for climbing and descending steep kerbs too, and most of them have a built-in suspension that means your baby will have a pleasant ride.

The main thing that makes a pushchair with three wheels difficult to manoeuvre is the wide frame, which makes it more difficult to maneuver through tight spaces and narrow doors than a 4-wheeler. Some manufacturers have addressed this issue with an innovative design that flips the wheels up when they are not in use. This reduces their dimensions and makes it easier to fit through doors.

If so, check for a lie-flat positioning and also whether the design is compatible with second seats and buggy boards (if you want to add the toddler). Make sure that the buggy has an option to lie flat and if it's compatible with a second seat as well as buggy boards if you plan to bring an infant along. Many 3 wheel umbrella stroller-wheelers fold flat and can be positioned upright when collapsed - handy if you have a small 3 wheel stroller car boot or a small storage space at home. However, some require you to remove the front wheel prior to folding in order to fit into smaller space.

Manoeuvrability

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

If you're thinking of taking your three-wheeled buggy off roads, you should consider opting for a vehicle equipped with tyres filled with air (also called pneumatic tyres) that can withstand the toughest terrain. They may have to be pumped up from time to time, but they will be more durable and puncture-proof than solid tyres. Find a model with a a lockable swivelling front wheel to assist you in maneuvering difficult surfaces.

The fact that there is only one front wheel can also be a reason that three-wheelers tend to be heavier than buggies with four wheels when folded. Check that the model you pick fits inside your car's boot and can be set up upright if needed. Some models fold using one hand, and can be raised when folded. This will save space in a small car boot.

A well-constructed three-wheeled pushchair can be used on all terrains from busy roads to forest tracks. It's important to consider the way you'll use it every day. If you'll be doing the school run with it, it should be able 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 help keep the ride stable.

MFM reviewer Kath discovered her three-wheeled buggy was able to handle well on both rural and urban walks. Kath said it could navigate rocky paths, cobbles and bumpy pavements effortlessly and was comfortable while running. It's also a great option for day trips, since it comes with plenty of storage space, including a huge ample basket with a zip-top cover and an expandable 50+ UV hood. It can also be modified for baby from birth with an adjustable seat that can be sat on or a carry cot, in addition to being compatible with most popular second-seats and buggy boards.

Fabric Sling Seat

The primary difference between a fabric sling and modular seats is that the fabric sling is placed snugly inside the buggy frame instead of being positioned on top as a modular seat would. This enables a much more ergonomically correct position for baby and instantly provides a lower centre of gravity that is at the proper height. This leads to 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 improved balance and stability.

The sling fabric used in these types of buggy seats are very hard-wearing and easy to clean. Developed specifically with applications for sling chairs in mind These fabrics are extremely UV resistant and air-tight. They also have an excellent aging resistance and are very easy to clean with mild soap and water.

3-wheel buggies are more stable than strollers with four wheels, making them ideal for off-road or all terrain adventures. The large front wheel, which is highly maneuverable, allows for smooth and quick movement. The tyres, which are typically air-filled and have suspension, provide an excellent ride on the most difficult roads and trails. The wheels are not as close to the ground on these pushchairs, as they are with 4 wheeled pushchairs. This makes them great for walking uphill.

Parents who like to run and jog with their children usually opt for strollers with three wheels because they're more agile and sleeker than their 4-wheel counterparts.
