What's a 'Running' Buggy? What makes a buggy a 'running' buggy? AND little video on what to take with you for the best buggy running experience possible! What Makes a running buggy.... just That?This is the question I get asked the most! The more suitable a buggy is for running the less suitable it will be for day to day use. Many people buy versions that can do both but compromise on running functionality to a degree. Here is the summary of what makes a running buggy exactly that.1) SuspensionAll models have rear wheel suspension which absorbs impact much like a mountain bike or car in order to make a smoother ride for the baby and it easier for you to push.2) Type of Tyres & size of wheelsPneumatic tyres are a must to absorb impact and for ease of movement. All models are 3 wheelers and the bigger the wheels the easier it is to push over uneven terrain. They vary from 20 inch to 16 inch on most running buggies. Some have a smaller front wheel. The clever folk at Mountain Buggy recognise it might be beneficial to have smaller wheels for urban use so provide free 12 inch rear wheels with their Terrain too.3) Fixed front wheelHaving a fixed front wheel is important for running for stability and therefore safety.
With a front wheel that swivels you can easily be bounced off an object and pulled to one side. Having a model which gives the option to lock into place for running or swivel freely for normal use provides flexibility that many people are looking for. Both the Thule Urban Glide and the Mountain Buggy Terrain have this feature.4) StorageSome models look to provide storage solutions via pockets or under carriage baskets. These are indeed handy when coming home from the shops but for the serious runner just add bulk and weight so many models do without them. This also reduces any chance of them impacting stride length.5) HandbrakeThis is for safety to slow you down when running downhill much like you would do on a bike. Not on all models in the market.6) Wrist StrapA key safety feature to ensure that you do not lose control of the buggy if you fall.Pre Buggy Run checklist Prams & strollers > Questions & answers 1 URBIN STROLLERS – making it easy to get out & about!

We have both agreed on the strider but cannot agree on a 3 wheeler or a 4 wheeler. Does anyone have any fact's on what the difference is between a 3 wheeler and a 4 wheeler or any pro's and con's for both?? I really like the 3 wheeler buggy's as they are much easier to push on sand and grass we spend a lot of time at the beach and parks over the summer and I do a lot of walking so really need one. If you don't spend much time at the beach or on large grassy areas then I would suggest a 4 wheeler buggy as they do tend to fold much smaller than a 3 wheel buggy and work fine around town and stuff. We are planning to use one of each for this baby I will use the 4 wheel buggy for around town as the one we have picked folds up really small and will actually fit in the boot of my car. The 3 wheel buggy I have bought is quite large and doesn't fit in my boot at all but fits in my partners car's boot and will only be used for out at the beach and walks to the park so most of the time the 3 wheeler will remain folded in the closet.
I hope this helps you out a bit.FAQs on our strollers for multiples Here are some of the questions we’re often asked about our range of strollers for multiples; if you can’t find the answer you’re looking for, please do contact us for stroller help and advice.

Prams and pushchairs for babies and toddlers span an enormous price range.If you’re on a budget, you can buy a pushchair for as little as £70, although it’ll be light on features at this price. On average, prams and pushchairs cost somewhere between £250 and £500, depending on factors including the brand name, features and functions and styling.
Designer brands and luxury coach-built prams can easily set you back £1,000 or more. There’s a lot to think about when you’re buying a pushchair or pram. Prams are designed for babies from birth, with a flat mattress. This is the most comfortable position for little babies, and best for their developing spine, but your baby is likely to outgrow it at around six months. Pushchairs have a seat rather than a flat bed.These tend to be less snug and secure for small babies, but have a longer life span. Many buggies combine pram and pushchair functions, either with a separate carrycot that attaches to the chassis or a seat unit that can be converted into a carrycot. This means you get the best of both worlds, and a pushchair that will last from birth to toddlerhood.Pushchairs generally have reclining seats that can be used in a variety of different positions: upright for when your baby is awake, or laid back for naps. If you intend to use a pushchair from birth, you’ll need to ensure that the seat reclines fully, so your baby is lying flat.
Often, the seat can be turned around so your baby can travel facing forward or facing you. This usually involves lifting the whole seat unit off and turning it round, but some have a swivel seat.When it comes to wheels, you have the choice of pneumatic (air-filled) tyres or solid wheels. Tyres are better for uneven surfaces and give your baby a smoother ride, but they do run the risk of punctures, which isn’t a problem with solid wheels.You can also choose between three- and four-wheeler buggies.Three-wheelers tend to be bigger and bulkier than four-wheelers, but are good if you’re likely to use the pushchair on uneven ground.To make prams and pushchairs easier to manoeuvre, they often have lockable swivel front wheels.In the swivel position, the buggy will be easier to handle on smooth surfaces, while locking the wheels makes it more manoeuvrable on bumpy ground.Some pushchairs have wheels that automatically lock when you move onto an uneven surface.It’s important to consider your lifestyle when you’re choosing a pram or pushchair.
If you do a lot of walking, your biggest priority is likely to be finding something that’s easy to push.Frequent public transport users will need a buggy that’s light and easy to fold, while if you use the car a lot, you’ll need to make sure the pushchair will fit in your boot.Pushchair weights and dimensions vary a lot, so check out these stats before you buy. You’ll also want to pay some attention to how it folds. Some pushchairs and prams have super easy one-handed folding mechanisms, while others are trickier to master. Bigger prams and pushchairs often have the option of removing the seat unit and wheels to make them more compact when folded. Handlebars are often height adjustable, which is a useful feature if you or your partner are shorter or taller than average.Prams and pushchairs may have a single handlebar or two handles. Single handlebars usually make for a more manoeuvrable pushchair, but double handles are easier to hang bags on. Look at the brake mechanism, and check that it’s easy to operate.
Most prams and pushchairs have a foot brake that you step on to engage, and kick up to release. Check out the position of the brake pedal, as if it sticks out too far, you might catch your toes on it while pushing.Some models have a hand-operated brake on the handlebar instead.Other useful features to look for include a storage basket under the seat, bumper bar or tray for your baby’s toys or snacks, and a large hood for sun protection.Removable and washable seat covers are handy, too. Some prams and pushchairs also come with added accessories such as a rain cover, foot muff, parent cup holder, changing bag and sunshade or parasol, which make them better value for money. Many prams and pushchairs are compatible with an infant car seat to make a travel system. This is a useful addition if you want to be able to lift your baby from car to pushchair without disturbing him, but it’s advised that you limit his time in a car seat to two hours to avoid damaging his developing spine. In some cases, you may need to buy additional adaptors to fit the car seat to the pushchair.
