3 Wheeled Buggies

A 3-wheel buggy can be used for off-road walking and for tackling terrain such as uneven paths or woodland tracks. They are also more easy to manoeuvre up and down kerbs than models with four wheels.

MadeForMums reviews editor Kath tried one of these three-wheelers while with her newborn and three year old, putting it through its paces on the road and on a rocky surface. Read her review here.

Stability

With four wheels and a central point of gravity that's balanced by weight of your child's seat, 4-wheel buggies are generally thought to be more stable than 3 wheeled travel system-wheelers. Three-wheel buggies are worth considering since they can handle anything from rough terrain to busy streets.

For a buggy that's easy to handle and will not be a problem on bumpy roads, look for one with large rear wheels and a lockable front wheel. These all-terrain buggies also come with pneumatic tires that are perfect for handling non-paved surfaces. They are able to be used even on sandy beaches or woodland tracks.

One factor that makes a pushchair with three wheels difficult to manoeuvre is the wide frame, which can make it more difficult to maneuver through narrow and tight doorways than a 4-wheeler. Some manufacturers have addressed this issue by using an innovative 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, make sure to check for a lie-flat location and if the design is compatible with second seats and buggy boards (if you'd like to add an infant onboard). If so, make sure it has an upright position and if the design is compatible with other seats and buggy boards (if you want to add a toddler onboard). Many 3-wheelers can fold flat and be stacked upright. This is a great option if you only have an unwieldy boot space or a small amount of 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

Look for a model with the ability to lock the swivelling wheel on the front to assist you in maneuvering difficult surfaces.

When folded, three-wheelers may be more bulky than buggies with four wheels because of the single wheel on the front. Be sure that the model you choose fits inside your car's boot and can be positioned in a straight line if needed. Some models can be folded with one hand, and stand up when collapsed. This can help save space in a small car boot.
