3 wheeled buggies (why not find out more)
A 3 wheel infant stroller-wheeler is ideal for off-roading and tackling terrain that is bumpy, like woodland tracks. They can also be easier to maneuver around kerbs than models with four wheels.
Kath, the editor of MadeForMums' reviews, tested one of these three-wheelers on tarmac as well as on various terrains. You can read her review here.
Stability
With four wheels and a center of gravity that's balanced by the weight of your child's seat, buggies with four wheels are generally thought to be more stable than triwheelers. But that doesn't mean that an older model with three wheels isn't worth considering, since many of these models are made to cope with everything from rough terrain to bustling high-streets.
If you want a buggie that is easy to maneuver and won't be a problem on bumpy pavements, look for one with large rear wheels and an adjustable front wheel that locks. These all-terrain buggies typically have pneumatic tyres too, which are excellent for handling surfaces that aren't paved and can be used on sandy beaches or woodland tracks.
These are also the best buggies for running with, since they provide great stability over rougher ground and can help you keep up with your running partner. They are also great for going up and down steep kerbs as well and a majority come with a suspension built in which means your child will enjoy a comfortable ride.
One thing that makes a 3 wheel stroller-wheeled pushchair tricky to maneuver is the large frame, which can make it more difficult to maneuver through narrow and tight doors than a 4-wheeler. However, some manufacturers have tackled this issue by implementing a clever design that makes the wheels fold upwards when not in use, which decreases their overall size and allows you to get through doorways with ease.
It's also important to consider whether the buggy you choose to use 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, ensure that it is in the ability to lie flat and if the design is compatible with second seats and buggy boards (if you'd like to add a toddler onboard). A lot of 3-wheelers fold flat and be stood upright when collapsed which is useful if you have a an insufficient car boot or only a little storage space at home. However, some require you to remove the front wheel before folding in order to fit in even more compact space.
Manoeuvrability
Three-wheeled buggies are more movable than four-wheeled strollers. A majority of them have a swivelling wheel on the front that allows you to control and change direction with only one hand. Some models also have a lockable front wheel which gives you security on more difficult terrain. Certain models can be used with an additional seat or buggy board, should you decide to grow your family.
If you're considering taking your three-wheeled buggy off paved tracks, it's worth selecting a model equipped with tyres filled with air (also known as pneumatic tyres) which are able to withstand the toughest terrain. These tyres may need to be filled from time to time, but they will be more durable and puncture-proof than solid tyres. It is recommended to choose models with an adjustable front wheel that can be locked to assist you on difficult surfaces.
When folded, three-wheelers can be heavier than buggies with four wheels due to the single wheel in front. Be sure that the model you select fits in your car's boot and can be set up in a straight line if needed. Some models can fold with one hand and are freestanding when collapsed. This will save space in boot spaces that are smaller.
A quality three-wheel pushchair will take on any terrain from busy streets to forest tracks. It's important to think about what you'll be using it for every day. If you're planning to run the school run, it ought to be able to cope with steep slopes and kerbs. If you plan to jog with it, make sure it has a swiveling'stretch front wheel' that can be locked. This will help keep the ride stable.

Fabric Sling Seat
The primary difference between a seat made of fabric and a modular one is the fabric sling. It is placed inside the frame of the buggy instead of being placed on top like an adjustable chair. This enables a much more ergonomically-correct position for baby and instantly provides an lower centre of gravity at the right height. This results in an easier push, a less hefty curb pop (you do not require as much weight and effort to lift the buggy off the curb's edge) and better balance and stability.
