3 Wheeled Buggies A 3-wheel buggy is utilized for off-road trails and for traversing terrains such as uneven paths or woodland tracks. They can also be easier to manoeuvre up and down kerbs than models with four wheels. MadeForMums reviews editor Kath tried one of these three-wheelers with her newborn and three year old daughter, putting it through its paces on the tarmac and on tricky ground. Check out her review here. Stability Four-wheel buggies, with their center of gravity being balanced by the weight of your child in the seat, are typically more stable than three-wheelers. But Info doesn't mean that a three-wheel buggy isn't worth considering, since many of them are built to withstand everything from rough terrain to busy high-streets. Find a buggie with large rear wheels, as well as a lockable wheel on the front. This makes it easier to drive and less likely to fall apart when you're on rough roads. These all-terrain buggies often have pneumatic tyres, too. They are excellent for handling non-paved surfaces and can even be used on sandy beaches or woodland tracks. They are also great buggies to jog with since they offer excellent stability on more rough terrain and can help you stay with your running partner. They're also good at climbing and descending steep kerbs and a majority come with suspension built-in that means your baby will have a pleasant ride. The one thing that can make a 3-wheeled pushchair difficult to maneuver is the broad frame, which makes it harder to fit through tight spaces and narrow doorways than a 4-wheeler. However certain manufacturers have addressed this issue by implementing a clever design that makes the wheels turn up when not in use, which reduces their overall size and allows you get through doors without difficulty. You'll also have to consider whether your buggy 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, check for an upright position and if the design is compatible with second-seats and buggy boards (if you're planning to put the toddler to the buggy). Many 3-wheelers will fold flat and can be upright when folded which is useful if you have a a small car boot or limited storage space at home. Some 3-wheelers require you to take off the front wheel to fold into smaller spaces. Manoeuvrability Three-wheeled buggies are more maneuverable than four-wheeled strollers. 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 have wheels that lock to offer stability on rough terrain. Some models can be used with an additional seat or buggy board, should you decide to grow your family. If you are planning to take your three-wheeled buggies off the roads that are paved, you should choose one that has pneumatic tyres. They are able to handle the most difficult terrain. They will require pumping up occasionally but they'll be more durable than tyres made of solid rubber and are more likely to be puncture-proof. You should look for a model that has an adjustable front wheel that is locked to help you navigate difficult surfaces. Having a single front wheel can also be a reason that three-wheelers tend to be more bulkier than buggies with four wheels when folded. Be sure that the model you pick can fit in the boot of your car and can be set up in a straight line if needed. Some models fold by one hand, and can be rearranged when folded. This will save space in a small car boot. A good three-wheel pushchair can take on any terrain from busy streets to forest tracks. It's important to consider the way you'll use it every day. If you'll be doing the school run using it, it should be able handle the kerbs and steep slopes. If you're planning to run with it, make sure it has a swivelling'stretch front wheel' that is locked. This will keep the ride stable. Kath the MFM reviewer, discovered that her stroller on three wheels was able to handle urban and walks in the countryside. She noted that it could navigate cobbles, rough paths and bumpy pavements easily and felt pleasant to jog with too. It's also a great option for day trips since it is packed with storage space. It has an ample, spacious zip-top covered basket and an extended, 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 popular stroller seats and second seats. Fabric Sling Seat The main difference between a fabric and a modular seat is the fabric sling. It is placed inside the frame of the buggy instead of being placed on top like an adjustable chair. This allows for a more ergonomically appropriate posture for the baby that instantly gives a lower centre of gravity at the right height. This results in an easier push, a lighter curb pop (you don't require much effort or weight to pop the buggy over the curb's nose) and better stability and balance. These seats also come with Sling fabrics that are simple to clean and durable. Made specifically for sling chair applications in mind These fabrics are extremely UV resistant and extremely breathable. These fabrics are also very easy to maintain with mild soap and warm water. If you are a jogger, or like to do some off-roading then an all-terrain buggy is more likely to meet your requirements than a four-wheeled buggy. These models generally have a larger base, more stable, and utilise air filled tyres to allow for smooth and agile movement on rough ground. Maxi-Cosi, a brand known for its car seat range and has now added a brand new 3-wheeler called the Stella to its product line.

Modular Seat Modular seating can be used to create an array of configurations that can be adapted to different seating needs. Whether it's a cozy setup to watch films or a large arrangement to entertain guests, modular seating can be adjusted easily. Many modular seating systems include removable cushions which makes it easy to clean up spills or stain. Modular Seating is available in various styles to fit with your existing decor or as an accent piece. You can select from a variety of fabrics, colors, and shapes to create a modular seating that suits your style. Modular seating also has many practical features, like hidden storage compartments for easy organizing. 3-wheel buggies are ideal for off-road and all terrain adventures because they offer more stability than 4-wheel strollers. The large, highly manoeuvrable front wheel enables agile and smooth motion, while the tyres are generally filled with air and have suspension, allowing for a smooth ride on even the roughest roads and trails. They're also great for walking up hills as the wheels aren't as close to the ground as they are on four wheel pushchairs. Often 3-wheel prams are favorite for parents who love running and jogging with their children because they offer superior agility and are more streamlined than their 4 wheel counterparts. The GB Upp XL for example has a sleek burnished silver aluminium frame, with an easy fold that can be folded in one hand and forward and rear facing seats.
