3 Wheeled Buggies
A 3 wheel twin stroller-wheel buggy is great for off-road jogging and dealing with terrain from bumpy pavements to woodland tracks. They are also easier to move on kerbs, and they are less prone to slipping down when compared to 4-wheel models.
MadeForMums reviews editor Kath tried one of these 3-wheelers with her newborn and 3 year old, putting it through its paces on the asphalt and on the muddy ground. Read her review here.
Stability
With four wheels and a central point of gravity that's balanced by weight of your child's 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 a look, since some of them are built to handle everything from rough terrain to busy high-streets.
Choose a buggy that has large rear wheels, as well as a lockable wheel on the front. This will make it easier to drive and less likely to fall off when driving on bumpy roads. These buggies are typically equipped with pneumatic tyres, too. They are ideal for handling surfaces that aren't paved and can even be used on sandy beaches or tracks in woodland.
They're also the best buggies to be running with, since they provide excellent stability over rougher ground and help you keep pace with your running partner. They are also great for going up and down steep kerbs, and most of them come with suspension built-in that ensures your child will be able to ride comfortably.
A stroller with 3 wheels can be difficult to maneuver due to its large frame. It is more difficult to maneuver through doorways and narrow spaces than a 4-wheeler. Some manufacturers have addressed this issue with a clever design which flips the wheels upwards when they are not in use. This reduces their dimensions and makes it easier to maneuver through doors.
You'll also have to consider whether the buggy you choose to use is suitable for your child from birth, or if you're thinking of using it in conjunction with an infant car seat or carry cot. If so, ensure that it is in a lie-flat position and whether the design is compatible with second-seats and buggy boards (if you're planning to put a toddler onboard). A lot of 3 wheel reversible stroller-wheelers fold flat and be positioned upright when collapsed which is useful if you have a an insufficient car boot or only a little storage space at home. Some will require you to remove the front wheel prior to folding in order to fit in even smaller spaces.
Manoeuvrability
Three-wheeled buggies can be more maneuverable than strollers with four wheels. They usually come with a swivelling front wheel that allows you to change direction quickly and steer using only one hand. Some models also have a lockable front wheel which gives you the stability you need on rough terrain. Some models can even be used with a second seat or buggy board in case you're planning to expand your family.
If you're thinking of taking your three-wheeled bike off the paved tracks, it's worth choosing one equipped with tyres filled with air (also known as pneumatic tyres) which can cope with the most difficult terrain. These tyres may require regular pumping but will be far more durable than tyres made of solid rubber and more likely to be puncture-proof. Find a model with a the ability to lock the swivelling wheel on the front to assist you in maneuvering difficult surfaces.
When folded, three-wheelers may be more bulky than buggies with four wheels because of the single front wheel. Make sure the model you choose fits in the boot of your car and can be raised if needed. Some models fold by one hand and can be raised when folded. This will save space in small car boot.
A quality three-wheel pushchair will 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 running the school run with it, it should be able handle sharp slopes and kerbs. If you'll be jogging with it, make sure it has an adjustable lockable swivelling'stretch' for the front wheel to ensure that the ride is steady.
Kath who is an MFM reviewer, found that her three-wheeled stroller was able to handle urban and rural walks. She said that it navigated rocky paths, cobbles and bumpy pavements easily and was comfortable to run with too. It's also a great option for day trips, as it offers plenty of storage space, including a huge ample basket with a zip-top cover and an extendable 50+ UV hood. It can be modified to meet the needs of a baby starting at birth, using a carry cot or lying-flat seats. It's also compatible with the most popular second seats and stroller boards.
Fabric Sling Seat
The key difference between a fabric sling and a modular seat is that the fabric sling sits comfortably inside the frame of the buggy as opposed to sitting on top of it like a modular seat. This allows for a more ergonomically-correct posture for the baby, which instantly delivers lower center of gravity that is at the proper height. This in turn makes for an easier push, a lighter curb pop (you don't need the same amount of effort and weight to lift the buggy off the curb's nose) and a better balance and stability.
These buggy seats also feature Sling fabrics that are simple to clean and durable. These fabrics were designed specifically for the sling chair and are UV resistant and breathable. They also have a great aging resistance and are very easy to clean using mild soap and water.

3-wheel buggies are more stable than strollers with four wheels, which makes them ideal for off-road or all terrain adventures. The large, highly maneuverable front wheel allows for smooth and agile movement. The tyres that are typically air-filled and come with suspension, provide an excellent ride even on the roughest roads and trails. The wheels aren't as close to the ground on these pushchairs, as they are with 4 wheeled pushchairs. This makes them perfect for walking uphill.
