3 Wheeled Buggies

A 3-wheeler is ideal for off-road walking & taking on terrains that is bumpy, like woodland tracks. They are also simpler to maneuver between kerbs and up and down them as opposed to 4-wheel models.

Kath, the editor of MadeForMums' reviews, tested one of these 3-wheelers on tarmac and on a variety of terrains. You can read her full review here.

Stability

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