MadeForMums reviews editor Kath tried one of these three-wheelers with her newborn and three year old, and put it through its paces on tarmac and on tricky ground. You can read her review here.
Stability
Four-wheel buggies with their center of gravity being balanced by the weight of your child in the seat, are generally more stable than three-wheelers. Three-wheel buggies are worthwhile to consider as they are able to take on anything from rough terrain to busy streets.
If you want a buggie that is easy to control and won't fall over on bumpy pavements, look for a model with large rear wheels and an adjustable front wheel that locks. These all-terrain buggies also have pneumatic tires that are ideal for handling unpaved surfaces. They can be used even on sandy beaches or tracks in woodlands.
They are also the best buggies to be jogging with, as they provide excellent stability on rough terrain and aid in keeping up with your jogging partner. They can also be used to go up and down steep kerbs, and many of them have built-in spring suspension so your baby will have a comfortable ride.
The one factor that makes a 3-wheeled pushchair difficult to manoeuvre is the wide frame, which can make it difficult to squeeze through narrow and tight doors than a 4-wheeler. However certain manufacturers have addressed this issue with clever design that lets the wheels flip up when not in use, which reduces their overall size, and allows you to get through doorways easily.
If yes, make sure to check for a lie-flat location and also whether the design is compatible with second seating 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 second seat and buggy boards if you plan to take a toddler along. Many 3 wheeler pushchair-wheelers fold flat and can be stood upright when collapsed which is useful if you have a an insufficient car boot or limited storage space at home. Some will require you to take out the front wheel prior to folding if you want it to fit into even more compact spaces.
Manoeuvrability
Three-wheeled buggies are more maneuverable than strollers with four wheels. A majority of them have a swivelling wheel on the front which allows you to control and change direction with just one hand. Some models also have a lockable front wheel which gives you the stability you need on rough terrain. Some models can be used with an additional seat or buggy board, in case you want to expand your family.
If you're thinking of taking your three-wheeled vehicle off of paved tracks, it's worth choosing one with air-filled tyres (also known as pneumatic tyres) that can withstand the most difficult terrain. They may have to be pumped up from time to the point, but they will be more durable and puncture-proof than solid tyres. Look for a model with an adjustable swivelling front wheel that locks to help you negotiate tricky surfaces.
When folded, three-wheelers can 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 is able to be sat up should it be required. Certain models can be folded with just one hand, and they're freestanding when collapsed. This will save space in smaller car boots.
A well-constructed 3 wheeler buggy wheel pushchair is able to cope with any terrain, from busy high streets to tracks through woodlands. It's important to consider the way you'll use it every day. If you'll be running the school run, it must be able to cope with steep kerbs and slopes. If you intend to jog on it, ensure it has a swiveling'stretch front wheel' that is locked. This will help keep the ride in place.
Kath, a MFM reviewer, found that her stroller with three wheels was able to take on urban and walks in the countryside. Kath noted that it could navigate rocky paths, cobbles, and bumpy pavements with ease and was comfortable when running. It's also a great option for day trips since it has a lot of storage space. This includes an ample, spacious zip-top basket that is covered and an extended, 50+ UV hood. It can be adjusted to fit a baby's needs from birth, including an infant carry cot or a lay-flat seat. It's also compatible with the most well-known second-seats and stroller boards.
Fabric Sling Seat
The primary distinction between a seat made of fabric and a modular one is the fabric sling. It is placed inside the buggy frame, rather than being positioned on top of it like a modular chair. This makes it easier to maintain an ergonomically correct position of the baby, resulting in a lower center of gravity at just the right height. This translates into an easier push, a lighter curb pop (you don't need as much weight and effort to pop the buggy over the nose of a curb) and a better balance and stability.
These buggy seats also feature Sling fabrics that are simple to clean and durable. Developed specifically with the use of sling chairs in mind they are UV resistant and breathable. These fabrics are also very easy to maintain using mild soap and warm water.

The tyres, which are usually air-filled and come with suspension, offer a comfortable ride even on the roughest trails and roads.
