3 Wheeled Buggies
A 3-wheel buggy is great for off-road walking & tackling terrain, from bumpy pavements to woodland tracks. They are also more easy to maneuver around kerbs than 4-wheel models.
Kath who is the editor of MadeForMums reviews, tried one of these three-wheelers on tarmac as well as on a variety of terrains. You can read her full review here.
Stability
With four wheels and a central point of gravity that is balanced by the weight of your child in the seat, buggies with four wheels are generally considered to be more stable than triwheelers. However, that doesn't mean an older model with three wheels isn't worth considering, since many of these models are designed to withstand everything from rough terrain to bustling high streets.
For a buggy that's really easy to handle and won't fall over on muddy roads, opt for a model with large rear wheels and a lockable front wheel. These all-terrain buggies also come with pneumatic tires that are ideal for handling unpaved surfaces. They can be used even on sandy beaches and woodland tracks.
They are also the best buggies for jogging with, as they provide excellent stability on rough terrain and help you keep pace with your running partner. They are also great for going up and down steep kerbs too and a majority have a built-in suspension which means your child will be able to ride comfortably.
The one factor that makes a 3-wheeled pushchair tricky to maneuver is the broad frame, which makes it difficult to squeeze into narrow spaces and tight doors than a 4-wheeler. Some manufacturers have addressed this problem with clever design that turns the wheels upside down when they are not being used. This reduces their size and makes them easier to squeeze through doors.
If yes, look for three wheel pushchair -flat positioning and also whether the design is compatible with second seating and buggy boards (if you'd like to add an infant onboard). Check if the buggy has the ability to lie flat, and if it is compatible with a second seat as well as buggy boards if you plan to bring a toddler along. Many 3-wheelers can fold flat and be put up in a upright position. This is great for those with a small boot space or a small amount of storage space at home. However, some will require you to take out the front wheel prior to folding if you wish to fit into more compact space.
Manoeuvrability
Three-wheeled buggies generally offer better manoeuvrability than four-wheeled pushchairs. They usually have a swivelling wheel on the front that lets you change direction quickly and steer with just one hand. Some also have a lockable front wheel that can provide stability on rougher terrain. Certain models can be used with an additional seat or buggy board if you plan to expand your family.
If you intend to take your three-wheeled buggies off the roads that are paved then you should opt for a model that has pneumatic tyres. They are able to handle the most difficult terrain. These tyres might need to be filled from time to the point, but they will be more durable and puncture-proof than solid tyres. Find a model with a the ability to lock the swivelling wheel on the front to help you negotiate tricky surfaces.
Having a single front wheel can also indicate that three-wheelers can be bulkier than four-wheeled buggies when folded. Make sure the model you select can fit in the boot of your car and can be set up in a straight line if needed. Some models can be folded with one hand, and they stand up when collapsed. This will save space in the boot of your car.
A well-constructed 3 wheel pushchair is able to cope with any terrain, from busy streets to woodland tracks. But it's important to consider what you'll be using for your day-to-day use. If you will be making the school run using it, it should be able to handle sharp slopes and kerbs. If you'll be running with it, ensure it has an adjustable swivelling'stretch' lockable front wheel to ensure that the ride is steady.
MFM reviewer Kath found her tri-wheeled buggy able to cope really well on both urban and countryside walks. She noted that it could navigate cobbles, rocky paths and bumpy pavements easily and was comfortable to jog with too. It's also a great choice for day trips as it offers plenty of storage space. This includes an ample, spacious zip-top covered basket as well as an extendable, 50+ UV hood. It is also able to be adapted to fit babies as young as a lie-flat seat or a carry cot, in addition to being compatible with a variety of popular second-seats and buggy boards.
Fabric Sling Seat
The primary difference between a fabric sling and a modular seats is that the fabric sling is placed snugly inside the buggy frame rather than sitting on top like a modular seat. This makes it easier to maintain an comfortable and ergonomically-correct position for the baby, leading to a lower center of gravity at the ideal 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 improved balance and stability.
These seats also have Sling fabrics that are simple to clean and durable. These fabrics were specifically designed for Sling chairs and are highly UV-resistant and breathable. They also have a great anti-aging capability and are easy to clean with mild soap and water.
If you're a jogger, or like to do some off-roading, an all-terrain 3 wheeler will be more suited to your needs than a 4-wheel buggy. These types are generally larger base, more stable, and use air-filled tyres to ensure smooth, easy movement on rough ground.

Modular Seat
Modular seating can be used to create many different configurations that can be adapted to different seating needs. Modular seating can be easily adjusted to create a relaxing space to watch movies or a large arrangement to entertain guests. Many modular seating systems come with cushion covers that can be removed, making it easier to wash spills and stain.
Modular Seating can be designed to blend with existing decors or make a statement as an accent piece. You can choose from a variety of fabrics, colors, and shapes to create an elegant and modular seating design that fits your personal style. Many functional features are available in modular seating, such as hidden storage compartments that allow for an easy organization and cleaning of living spaces.
3-wheel buggies are ideal for off-road and all terrain adventures because they offer more stability than 4-wheel strollers. The large, extremely maneuverable front wheel allows for agile and smooth movement, whereas the tyres are generally filled with air and have suspension, providing an excellent ride on the roughest roads and trails. The wheels are not as close to the ground on these pushchairs as they are with 4 wheeled pushchairs. This makes them perfect for walking uphill.
Parents who love to run and jog with their babies usually opt for strollers with three wheels because they're more agile and sleeker than their 4-wheel counterparts. The GB Upp XL for example is a sleek and polished aluminum frame, an easy fold that can be folded in one hand and forward and rear facing seats, while the Babyzen Yoyo has an all black frame, a carrycot that has a the ability to lie flat in full, air-filled tyres and three recline positions.
Mountain Buggy Sport verso is another great all-terrain option. It's incredibly lightweight, highly maneuverable and amazingly fashionable. The buggy will last from birth, with the carrycot included, to toddlerhood with the modular seat. All this is within the footprint of one buggy.
The latest model, duet(tm), is a side-by-side buggy that's compact enough for urban living, yet with a lot of innovation and control. It comes with an exclusive fabric sling seat that's positioned in a comfortable frame at just the right height for perfect weight distribution for easy rolling over kerbs, and for navigating neighborhoods and cities.
