A 3 wheel pushchair cheap-wheel buggy is perfect for off-road walking & tackling terrain from bumpy pavements to woodland tracks. They are also easier to manoeuvre up and down kerbs than 4-wheel models.
MadeForMums reviews editor Kath tried one of these 3 wheeler pushchairs from birth-wheelers with her newborn and three year old, putting it through its paces on road and on a rocky surface. Read her review here.
Stability
Four-wheel buggies, with their centre of gravity balancing by the weight of your child in the seat are generally more stable than three wheel pushchair-wheelers. However, that doesn't mean a three-wheel buggy isn't worth considering, as some of them are built to handle anything from rough terrain to busy high-streets.
Choose a buggy that has large rear wheels, as well as an lockable wheel on the front. This makes it easier to drive and less likely to snap off when driving on bumpy roads. These buggies for all-terrain use also have pneumatic tires, which are ideal for handling unpaved surfaces. They can be used on sandy beaches and tracks through woodlands.
They're also great buggies to jog with because they provide great stability in rough terrain and can help you stay with your running companion. They can also go up and down steep kerbs and a lot of them have built-in spring suspension so your child will enjoy an enjoyable ride.
A 3-wheeled stroller can be difficult to maneuver due to its wide frame. It is more difficult to get through doorways and narrow spaces than a 4-wheeler. However, some manufacturers have tackled this issue with an innovative design that makes the wheels fold upwards when not in use, which reduces their overall size and allows you navigate through doorways without difficulty.
If yes, look for a lie-flat position and if the design is compatible with second seating and buggy boards (if you plan to bring the toddler). Find out if the buggy comes with the ability to lie flat, and if it is compatible with second seat and buggy boards if you intend to bring an infant along. A majority of 3-wheelers can fold flat, and later be stacked upright. This is a good option if you only have an unwieldy boot space or have limited storage at home. Certain 3-wheelers require you to remove the front wheel in order to fold them into smaller sizes.
Manoeuvrability
three wheeled buggies-wheeled buggies are more maneuverable than four-wheeled strollers. A lot of them feature a swivelling wheel on the front which allows you to steer and change direction with only one hand. Some models also come with a lockable front wheels which can give you the stability you need on rough terrain. Certain models can be used with an additional seat or buggy board, if you plan to expand your family.
If you're thinking of taking your three-wheeled buggy off tracks that are paved, it's worth opting for a vehicle with air-filled tyres (also known as pneumatic tyres) which are able to withstand the toughest terrain. These tyres may need to be pumped up from time to intervals, but they'll be more durable and puncture-proof compared to solid tyres. Look for a model with the ability to lock the swivelling wheel on the front to aid you in navigating difficult surfaces.
When folded, three-wheelers can be more bulky than four-wheeled buggies due to the single wheel in front. Check that your chosen model can fit in the boot of your car and is able to be stood up, should it be necessary. Some models are able to be folded with just one hand and stand on their own when collapsed, which can save space in car boot spaces that are smaller.
A well-constructed 3 wheel pushchair can cope with all terrains, from busy streets to tracks through woodlands. It's important to think about what you'll be using it for in the daytime. If you'll be running the school run with it, it must be able handle steep slopes and kerbs. If you're planning to run on it, ensure it has a swivelling “stretch front wheel' that is locked. This will help keep the ride in place.
MFM reviewer Kath found her tri-wheeled buggy able to cope really well on both urban and countryside walks. Kath said it negotiated cobbles, rocky paths and uneven pavements with ease and felt pleasant to jog with. It is also a good choice for day trips as it offers plenty of storage space. This includes an ample, spacious zip-top covered basket as well as an extended, 50+ UV hood. It can be adjusted to meet the needs of babies from birth, including a carry cot or lie-flat seat. It's also compatible with the most popular stroller seats and second seats.
Fabric Sling Seat
The main difference between a fabric sling and modular seats is that the fabric sling sits comfortably inside the frame of the buggy instead of sitting on top of it like a modular seat. This makes it easier to maintain an comfortable and ergonomically-correct position for the baby, which results in a lower center of gravity, which is the ideal height. This results in a smoother push, a more light curb-pop (you don't need to exert the same effort and weight to lift the buggy off the curb) and increased stability and balance.
The sling fabric used in these kinds of buggy seats are also very hard-wearing and easy to clean. These fabrics were specifically designed for the sling chair and are UV resistant and breathable. These fabrics are also very easy to maintain with mild soap and warm water.
If you are a jogger, or enjoy off-roading, an all-terrain buggy is more likely to meet your requirements than a four-wheeled buggy. These styles are generally larger, more stable base and use air-filled tyres for agile smooth moving over rough terrain.

3-wheel buggies provide more stability than strollers with four wheels, making them ideal for off-road or all-terrain adventures. The large, highly maneuverable front wheel allows for smooth and swift movement. The tyres that are typically air-filled and have suspension, provide an excellent ride even on the roughest trails and roads. They are also ideal for walking up hills as the wheels aren't as close to ground as they are on 4 wheel pushchairs.
Parents who like to run and jog with their babies usually opt for strollers with three wheels because they are more agile and sleeker than their 4-wheel counterparts. The GB Upp XL for example features a sleek, burnished silver aluminum frame, an easy fold that can be folded in one hand and rear and forward facing seats, while the Babyzen Yoyo has an all black frame, a carrycot that has a fully lie-flat position, air-filled tyres and 3 recline positions.
