3 Wheeled Buggies A 3-wheel buggy is great for off-road walking & taking on terrains, from bumpy pavements to woodland tracks. They are also more easy to manoeuvre up and down kerbs than models with four wheels. Kath who is the editor of MadeForMums reviews, has tested one of these three-wheelers on tarmac, as well as on various terrains. Read her review here. Stability With four wheels and a central point of gravity that's balanced by weight of your child in the seat, 4-wheel buggies are generally considered to be more stable than three-wheelers. But that doesn't mean an older model with three wheels isn't worth considering, as many of them are built to cope with anything from rough terrain to bustling high streets. Look for a buggy with large rear wheels, as well as an lockable wheel on the front. This makes it more comfortable to drive and less likely to snap apart on rough roads. These all-terrain buggies also come with pneumatic tires that are ideal for handling non-paved surfaces. They are able to be used even on sandy beaches and tracks in woodlands. They're also excellent buggies to run with since they offer excellent stability in rough terrain and aid you in staying with your running companion. They can also be used to go up and down steep kerbs and many of them come with a spring suspension that is built-in, so your child will enjoy a comfortable ride. One thing that makes a 3-wheeled pushchair difficult to manoeuvre is the wide frame, which makes it difficult to squeeze into narrow spaces and tight doors than a 4-wheeler. Some manufacturers have addressed this issue with clever design that flips the wheels up when they are not being used. This reduces their size and makes it easier to maneuver through doorways. You'll also need to consider whether your buggy is suitable for your baby from birth or if you're thinking of using it in conjunction with an infant car seat or carry cot. If so, check for the ability to lie flat and if the design is compatible with other seats and buggy boards (if you're planning to put an infant onboard). A majority of 3-wheelers can fold flat, and then be placed upright. This is a good option for those with limited space in your boot or have limited storage at home. Certain 3-wheelers require you to take off the front wheel to fold into smaller spaces. Manoeuvrability Three-wheeled buggies can be more maneuverable than strollers with four wheels. They usually have a swivelling wheel on the front that allows you to change direction quickly and steer with only one hand. Some models have a lockable wheel that can offer stability on rough terrain. Certain models can be used with an additional seat or buggy board, if you plan to expand your family. If 3 wheel buggy intend to take your three-wheeled buggies off the paved roads it is recommended to choose a model that has pneumatic tyres. They are able to handle the most difficult terrain. These tyres may need to be filled from time to time, but they will be more durable and puncture-proof compared to solid tyres. Find a model with a the ability to lock the swivelling wheel on the front to help you negotiate tricky surfaces. When folded, three-wheelers may be heavier than buggies with four wheels because of the single front wheel. Check that the model you select fits in your car's boot and can be set up upright if required. Certain models can be folded using one hand, and stand up when collapsed. This will save space in small car boot. A quality 3 wheel pushchair can cope with all terrains, from busy high streets to tracks through woodlands. It's important to think about what you'll be using for your day-to-day use. If you'll be doing the school run using it, it must be able to handle steep slopes and kerbs. If you'll be running on it, check that it has an adjustable swivelling'stretch' lockable front wheel to ensure that the ride is safe. Kath, a MFM reviewer, found that her three-wheeled stroller was able to handle both urban and walks in the countryside. Kath said it was able to navigate cobbles, rough paths, and bumpy pavements effortlessly and was comfortable while running. It's also a great choice for day trips, since it has plenty of storage space, including a large and spacious basket that has a zip-top cover and an extendable 50+ UV hood. It can also be modified to accommodate babies from birth using an adjustable seat that can be sat on or a carry cot, as well as being compatible with the majority of popular second seats and buggy boards. Fabric Sling Seat The main difference between a fabric sling versus a modular seat is that the fabric sling is placed comfortably inside the frame of the buggy instead of being positioned on top as a modular seat would. This enables a much more ergonomically-correct posture for the baby and instantly provides lower center of gravity that is at the proper height. This in turn makes for an easier push, a lighter curb pop (you do not require as much weight and effort to lift the buggy off the nose of a curb) and better balance and stability. The sling fabric used in these types of seats are extremely durable and easy to clean. Made specifically for applications for sling chairs in mind they are UV-resistant and air-tight. These fabrics are also very easy to maintain using mild soap and warm water. If you're a jogger, or are a fan of off-roading, a all terrain 3 wheeler will be more your bag than a 4-wheel buggy. These styles are generally larger base, more stable and utilise tyres with air for agile smooth moving over rough terrain. Maxi-Cosi is a company known for its car seat collection is now offering a brand-new 3-wheeler called the Stella to its product line. This all-terrain vehicle has an enormous spacious and impressively growing seat that can be a world-facing or parent facing and reclines flat with an upgraded 5-point safety harness.

Modular Seat Modular seating allows for a wide range of configurations that can be adapted to different seating needs. If you want a cozy setting for watching movies or a larger configuration to entertain guests, modular seating is able to be adjusted easily. Many modular seating systems also 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 the existing decor or make a statement as an accent piece. You can choose from a variety of colors, fabrics, and shapes to design a modular seating that suits your personal style. Modular seating comes with a variety of practical features, like hidden storage compartments for easy organizing. 3-wheel buggies are particularly good for off-road and all-terrain adventures because they offer more stability than strollers with four wheels. The huge, highly maneuverable front wheel allows for agile and smooth movement, whilst the tyres are generally air-filled and feature suspension, which gives you a great ride on even the most difficult trails and roads. They are also ideal for walking up hills as the wheels aren't as close to ground as they are on 4 wheel pushchairs. Often, 3-wheel prams are a popular choice for parents who enjoy running and jogging with their children, as they provide excellent agility and are more streamlined than their 4 wheel counterparts. The GB Upp XL, for instance, is a sleek, burnished aluminum frame that has a simple one-handed fold as well as rear-facing and forward-facing seats. The Babyzen Yoyo, on the other hand, features a black frame with a carrycot that is placed in a fully lie-flat position, and has tyres that are air-filled.
