A 3-wheeler is ideal for off-road walking & taking on terrains, from bumpy pavements to woodland tracks. They are also more easy to maneuver around kerbs than 4-wheel models.

MadeForMums reviews editor Kath tried one of these three-wheelers with her newborn and three year old, and put 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 the weight of your child in the seat, 4-wheel buggies are generally thought to be more stable than 3 wheel travel system-wheelers. Three-wheel buggies are nevertheless worth considering as they can take on anything from rough terrain to busy streets.

Look for a buggy with large rear wheels and an lockable wheel on the front. This makes it easier to drive and less likely to break apart when you're on bumpy roads. These all-terrain buggies often have pneumatic tyres, too. They are ideal for handling surfaces that aren't paved and can be used on sandy beaches or tracks in woodland.

They're also the best buggies for running around in, as they provide excellent stability on rough terrain and can aid in keeping up with your running partner. They're also good at climbing and down steep kerbs too and a majority have a built-in suspension that ensures your child will be able to ride comfortably.

A stroller with 3 Wheel pushchair cheap wheels can be a challenge to maneuver because of its large frame. It is more difficult to maneuver through narrow spaces and doorways than a 4-wheeler. However some manufacturers have solved this issue by implementing clever design that lets the wheels turn up when not being used, which reduces their overall size and helps you get through doors with ease.

It's also important to think about whether the buggy you choose to use is suitable for your little one from birth or if you're thinking of using it 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 want to add an infant onboard). Many 3-wheelers fold flat and be positioned upright when collapsed and is handy if you have a small car boot or a small storage space at home. Some 3-wheelers require you to remove the front wheel in order to fold them into smaller sizes.

Manoeuvrability

A lot of them feature a swivelling wheel on the front that allows you to control and change direction with only one hand. Some also come with a lockable front wheel that can provide stability on rougher terrain. Some models can even be used with a second seat or buggy board in case you're planning to grow your family.

If you're thinking of taking your three-wheeled vehicle off of roads, you should consider opting for a vehicle with air-filled tyres (also known as pneumatic tyres) which are able to withstand the most challenging terrain.

Find a model with a an adjustable swivelling front wheel that locks to help you negotiate tricky surfaces.

Having a single front wheel may also mean that three-wheelers tend to be more bulkier than buggies with four wheels when folded. Check to see if the model you're considering can fit in the boot of your car and can be sat up if required. Some models can fold in one hand and stand on their own when they're collapsed, which will save space in car boot spaces that are smaller.

A quality 3 wheel pushchair can cope with any terrain, from busy streets to woodland tracks. It's important to think about how you will use it every day.

Fabric Sling Seat

This enables a much more ergonomically-correct position for babies that instantly gives an lower centre of gravity at the right height. This leads to a more comfortable push, a less hefty 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.
