MadeForMums reviews editor Kath tried one of these three-wheelers while with her newborn and 3 year old, putting it through its paces on asphalt and on the muddy ground. You can read her full review here.

Stability

Four-wheel buggies, which have their centre of gravity balanced by the weight of your child in the seat, are typically more stable than three-wheelers. Three-wheel buggies are worth considering as they can take on anything from rough terrain to busy streets.

If you want a buggie that is easy to handle and will not be a problem on bumpy pavements, look for a model 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 uneven surfaces and can even be used on sandy beaches or woodland tracks.

They're also the best buggies to be jogging with, as they provide excellent stability over rougher ground and help you keep pace with your jogging partner. They can also be used to go up and down steep kerbs, and a lot of them come with a built-in spring suspension so your baby will have a comfortable ride.

The one thing that makes a 3 wheel stroller set-wheeled pushchair difficult to maneuver is the large frame, which can make it difficult to squeeze through narrow and tight doorways than a 4-wheeler. Some manufacturers have solved this problem with a clever design which flips the wheels upwards when they are not in use. This reduces their dimensions and makes it easier to maneuver through doors.

You'll also need to think about whether the buggy you choose to use is suitable for your child from birth, or if you're thinking of using it with an infant car seat or carry cot. If so, ensure that it is in a lie-flat position and whether the design is compatible with second seats and buggy boards (if you'd like to add an infant onboard). Many 3 wheel baby Stroller-wheelers will fold flat and be upright when folded which is useful if you have a limited space in your car boot or only a little storage space at home. Some 3-wheelers require you to remove the front wheel in order to fold into smaller spaces.

Manoeuvrability

Three-wheeled buggies generally offer better manoeuvrability than four-wheeled pushchairs. They often come with a swivelling front wheel which allows you to change direction quickly and steer with only one hand. Certain models come with a lockable wheel that can give you stability on more rough 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 vehicle off of tracks that are paved, it's worth selecting a model with air-filled tyres (also known as pneumatic tyres) which can cope with the most difficult terrain. These tyres may require periodic pumping, but will be far more durable than tyres that are solid and are more likely to be puncture-proof. Look for a model with an adjustable swivelling front wheel that locks to assist you in maneuvering difficult surfaces.

When folded, three-wheelers may be heavier than buggies with four wheels due to the single wheel on the front. Make sure the model you select fits in your car's boot and can be placed upright if required. Some models are able to fold with one hand and stand on their own when collapsed. This can make them more compact in boot spaces that are smaller.

A well-constructed three-wheeled pushchair can be used on all terrains, from busy streets to forest tracks. But it's important to consider what you'll be using it for in the daytime. If you'll be doing the school run, it should be able to handle steep slopes and kerbs. If you'll be running on it, ensure it has an adjustable swivelling'stretch' lockable front wheel to 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 a part of the frame of the buggy, as opposed to being placed on top like a modular chair. This allows for a more ergonomically correct position of the baby, which results in a lower center of gravity, which is just the right height. This leads to a smoother push, a more light curb-pop (you do not have to exert the same effort and weight to lift the buggy off the curb) and improved balance and stability.
