The Benefits and Drawbacks of a 3 Wheeled Pushchair If you often walk across rough terrain, or wish to run on a treadmill, a three-wheeled pushchair is the ideal choice. They are great if you require a vehicle that can take on any terrain from busy high streets to tracks in the woods. Look for models with front wheels that can be locked or swivelled. This will allow you more flexibility. Larger wheels both front and back also offer an easier ride on various terrains. Manoeuvrability Manoeuvrability is a major advantages of a three wheel pushchair. The wheels are placed close to each other, which allows the chassis to move and turn much more easily than a standard four wheel pushchair, making them ideal for busy streets and shopping. Some models even have a pair of front wheels that can be locked and swivelled for additional maneuverability when required. The Roma Atlas, for example, has two wheels positioned close together in front and a clever lock that swivels to give the ability to maneuver like a 3-wheeler, but with added stability. A lot of our top-selling 3 wheelers come with a 4-in-1 travel systems that transform from a stroller to a toddler seat or car seat carrier as your child grows. This is a great option when you intend to travel together as a family, or make frequent trips to the shop. The Baby Jogger Nipper is a great example. It has Hauck airwheels XL, a 360-degree swivel lockable wheel, and a suspension which allows it to be used on any terrain. Another great option is the ickle bubba Nipper which is an all-terrain pushchair with a great suspension and large puncture-proof tyres that allow it to be used for off-roading and smooth city pavements. It's suitable for use from birth (in the seat unit that is reversible or with a carrycot compatible) and comes with a convenient one-handed fold that is ideal for boot storage and airport travel. It's important to choose the correct wheels for a pushchair depending on where it will be used the most. Moulded wheels are great for urban use, but they won't be able to handle rougher terrain. If you are planning to take your pushchair off paved surfaces, choose pneumatic tyres. They can withstand rough terrain. If you're looking for a pushchair designed to work in both urban and rural environments, take a look at our top-rated Bugaboo 5 All-Terrain pushchair. It has all the great suspension and large wheels of an all-terrain model but it's also a brilliant urban pushchair, with a lightweight frame, easy-to-use lockable front wheel and one-handed fold. Stability There are many options to look out for that will enhance the stability of your buggy. For example, some designs come with a swivelling front wheels that can lock in place for extra stability on rough terrain. This can be particularly useful if you are going to be using your pushchair off-road or for jogging as it will give you the confidence to walk any surface without difficulty. Suspension is a great feature for stability. It can make your buggy more comfortable to ride, for both the baby and you especially on rough terrain. Some brands allow you to swap out tyres of different brands to allow you to tailor the performance of your pushchair according to the type of terrain you will be riding it on. You should consider investing in a three-wheeled pushchair with tires that are filled with air if you want a pushchair that can handle any terrain. They provide an easier ride over bumps and are less vulnerable to punctures than traditional wheels. They also allow you to tackle non-paved tracks and will transport your buggy on various surfaces, including grass, sand and mud. All-terrain strollers tend to be wider than standard models however there are many fantastic options that do not compromise on maneuverability or stability. One of our favorites, the UPPAbaby Ridge is equipped with a number of amazing features that allow it to be used for off-road walking as well as jogging once your child reaches a certain age. It comes with large, foam-filled, never-flat tyres as well as an adjustable suspension, and a quick one-handed folding. 3 wheel buggy is another great stroller that is all-terrain.

It's compatible with a range of car seats, and also can accommodate a carrycot. It is a bit heavier than other 3-wheelers, but it's a great choice for parents who want to take their pushchairs on any terrain. Weight The drawback of 3 wheeled strollers is that they're heavy, especially if you have to navigate bumpy terrain or kerbs. The larger rear wheels on a 3-wheeler contribute to a heavier overall weight than 4 wheelers which means you'll need more strength to lift them, especially when folding them. All-terrain models are an excellent option for those who want a pushchair to handle rough terrain or rough tarmac. They typically have features, like strong suspensions and big puncture-proof tyres. More and more, manufacturers are creating all-terrain pushchairs using gel-filled or foam-filled tyres that are not designed to go flat, and thus don't require inflating.

The Core, their newest all-terrain pushchair is suitable for babies from birth. It can be adapted to a car seat or a carrycot. The iCandy Core has a host of features that will make it a great all-terrain pushchair, including large foam-filled, never-flat tyres as well as a fantastic suspension system. The Core is a little heavier than some other pushchairs for all-terrain use, however it's still lightweight enough to maneuver on rougher ground. Folding All-terrain models are a great choice if you need an option for a pushchair that can handle rough terrain. This kind of pushchair has large wheels both front and back, which will help you navigate rough, off-road terrain.
