MadeForMums reviews editor Kath tried one of these 3 Wheel All terrain buggy-wheelers with her newborn and three year old daughter, putting it through its paces on the tarmac and on tricky ground. You can read her review here.

Stability

With four wheels and a centre of gravity that's balanced by weight of your child in the seat, buggies with four wheels are generally thought to be more stable than 3 wheel running buggy-wheelers. Three-wheel buggies are worth considering as they can handle anything from rough terrain to busy streets.

For a buggy that's really easy to maneuver and will not fall over on muddy roads, opt for one with big rear wheels and a lockable front wheel. These buggies for all-terrain use also have pneumatic tires that are ideal for handling non-paved surfaces. They can be used on sandy beaches or tracks through woodlands.

They're also great buggies to jog with because they provide great stability on more rough terrain, and can aid you in staying with your running companion. They can also go up and down steep kerbs, and many have spring suspension that is built-in, so your child will enjoy an enjoyable ride.

The main factor that makes a pushchair with three wheels difficult to maneuver is the broad frame, which can make it difficult to squeeze into narrow spaces and tight doorways than a 4-wheeler. However some manufacturers have solved this issue by implementing an innovative design that makes the wheels fold upwards when not in use, which decreases their overall size and helps you navigate through doorways with ease.

If yes, make sure to check for a lie-flat position and whether the design is compatible with second seating and buggy boards (if you plan to bring an infant onboard). Make sure that the buggy has the ability to lie flat, and if it's compatible with second seat and buggy boards, if you are planning to bring an infant along. Many 3-wheelers can fold flat, and then be stacked upright. This is a good option if you only have an unwieldy boot space or have limited storage at home. Some 3 wheel pushchairs-wheelers require you to take off the front wheel to fold into smaller spaces.

Manoeuvrability

Three-wheeled buggies are more maneuverable than strollers with four wheels. They usually have a swivelling wheel on the front which allows you to shift direction quickly and steer with just one hand. Certain models come with a lockable wheel that can offer stability 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 considering taking your three-wheeled buggy off paved tracks, it's worth selecting a model that has tyres with air in them (also known as pneumatic tyres) which are able to withstand the most challenging terrain. These tyres may require pumping up occasionally but will be much more durable than solid tyres and are more likely to be puncture-proof. It is recommended to choose one with an swiveling front wheel that can be locked to help you navigate difficult surfaces.

When folded, three-wheelers may be heavier than buggies with four wheels due to the single wheel in front. Make sure the model you choose can fit into the boot of your car and can be stood up, in the event that it is necessary. Some models can fold with one hand and are freestanding when collapsed. This will save space in car boot spaces that are smaller.

It's important to consider what you'll be using it for every day. If you'll be running the school run, it ought to be able to handle steep slopes and kerbs. If you intend to jog on it, ensure it has a swivelling'stretch front wheel' that can be locked. This will help keep the ride smooth.

MFM reviewer Kath discovered her three-wheeled buggy was able to handle well with the countryside and urban walks. Kath said it could navigate rocky paths, cobbles and bumpy pavements effortlessly and felt pleasant when running. It's also a great choice for day trips, since it comes with plenty of storage space, including a huge, spacious basket with zip-top cover and an expandable 50+ UV hood. It can be modified to fit a baby's needs from birth, with a carry cot or lying-flat seats. It's 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 rather than sitting on top of it like a modular seat would. This enables a much more ergonomically correct position for baby and instantly provides lower center of gravity at the right height. This translates into an easier push, a less hefty curb pop (you don't need as much weight and effort to push the buggy over the nose of a curb) and a better balance and stability.

The sling fabric used in these types of buggy seats are also extremely durable and easy to clean. These fabrics were designed specifically for Sling chairs and are highly UV resistant and air-tight. They also have a great durability and are easy to clean with mild soap and water.
