3 Wheeled Buggies
A 3-wheel buggy is perfect for off-road jogging and tackling terrain from bumpy pavements to woodland tracks. They are also simpler to move between kerbs and up and down them compared to 4-wheel models.
Kath who is the editor of MadeForMums reviews, has tested one of these three-wheelers on tarmac and on various terrains. You can read her review here.
Stability
Four-wheel buggies with their centre of gravity balanced by the weight of your child in the seat, are generally more stable than three-wheelers. However, that doesn't mean an older model with three wheels isn't worth considering, as many of these models are made to withstand everything from rough terrain to busy high streets.
For a buggy that's really easy to control and won't let you down on bumpy roads, look for one with big rear wheels and an adjustable front wheel that locks. These buggies for all-terrain use also have pneumatic tires that are ideal for handling unpaved surfaces. They can be used on sandy beaches and woodland tracks.
They're also excellent buggies to run with because they provide great stability on more rough terrain and help you stay with your running partner. They can also be used to go up and down steep kerbs and many come with spring suspension that is built-in, so your baby can enjoy an enjoyable ride.
One factor that makes a 3-wheeled pushchair tricky to manoeuvre is the wide frame, which can make it difficult to squeeze through tight spaces and narrow doorways than a 4-wheeler. However certain manufacturers have addressed this issue by implementing clever design that lets the wheels fold up when not being used, which reduces their overall size, and allows you get through doors easily.
It's also important to consider whether the buggy you choose to use is suitable for your little one from birth, or if you're planning on using it in conjunction with an infant car seat or carry cot. If so, check for an upright position and if the design is compatible with second seats and buggy boards (if you're planning to put a toddler onboard). A majority of 3 wheel parent facing pushchair-wheelers can fold flat, and later be placed upright. This is a good option for those with a small boot space or have limited storage at home. Certain 3-wheelers require you to remove the front wheel to fold them into smaller sizes.
Manoeuvrability
Three-wheeled buggies can be more maneuverable than four-wheeled strollers. A lot of them feature a swivelling wheel on the front which allows you to steer and change direction using one hand. Some models also come with a lockable front wheels which gives you stability on rougher terrain. Certain models can be used with an additional seat or buggy board in case you want to expand your family.
If you're planning to take your three-wheeled vehicle off of paved tracks, it's worth opting for a vehicle equipped with tyres filled with air (also called pneumatic tyres) which can cope with the toughest terrain. They will require periodic pumping, but will be much more durable than solid tyres and are more likely to be puncture-proof. You should choose models with a swiveling front wheel that is locked to help you navigate difficult terrains.
When folded, three-wheelers can be heavier than buggies with four wheels due to the single wheel on the front. Check that your chosen model can fit into the boot of your car and is able to be stood up, in the event that it is necessary. Some models can be folded by one hand, and they can be rearranged when folded. This can save space in small car boot.
A good 3 wheel pushchair can cope with any terrain, from busy high streets to tracks through woodlands. But it's important to consider what you'll be using it for day-to-day. If you'll be running the school run with it, it should be able to handle sharp slopes and kerbs. If you'll be running with it, make sure it has an adjustable swivelling'stretch' lockable front wheel to keep the ride stable.
MFM reviewer Kath found her three-wheeled buggy was able to handle well on both urban and countryside walks. She said that it navigated rocky paths, cobbles and bumpy pavements effortlessly and was comfortable to run with. It's also a great option for day trips, since it has plenty of storage space, including a huge, spacious basket with zip-top cover and an extendable 50+ UV hood. It can be adjusted to meet the needs of a baby from birth, including an infant carry cot or a lay-flat seat. It is also compatible with the most well-known second seats and stroller boards.
Fabric Sling Seat
The key difference between a fabric sling versus a modular seats is that the fabric sling sits in the frame of the buggy as opposed to sitting on top 3 wheel strollers like a modular seat. This allows for a more ergonomically appropriate posture for the baby, which instantly delivers an lower centre of gravity that is at the proper height. This leads to a smoother push, a lighter curb-pop (you don't need to exert as much effort and weight to lift the buggy off the curb) and more stability and balance.
These buggy seats also feature sling fabrics that are easy to clean and durable. These fabrics were designed specifically for sling chairs and are extremely UV resistant and air-tight. They also have a great aging resistance and are very easy to clean with mild soap and water.
If you're a jogger or enjoy off-roading, an all-terrain buggy is more likely to meet your requirements than a four-wheeler. These styles are generally larger base, more stable, and utilise air filled tyres to allow for smooth and agile moving over rough terrain.

A lot of modular seating systems come with removable cushions, making it easy to clean up spills or stain.

3-wheel buggies are ideal for off-road and all terrain adventures as they have more stability than strollers with four wheels. The large, highly maneuverable front wheel allows for smooth and quick movement. The tyres, which are usually filled with air and have suspension, provide an excellent ride on even the most rough roads and trails. They are also ideal for navigating up hills because the wheels aren't as close to the ground as they are on 4 wheel pushchairs.
Parents who love to run and jog with their kids typically opt for 3-wheel strollers because they are more nimble and sleeker than their four-wheel counterparts.
