The Benefits and Drawbacks of a 3 Wheeled Pushchair

A three-wheeled pushchair is perfect if you walk regularly on uneven terrain or jog. They are ideal 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 varying surfaces.

Manoeuvrability

Manoeuvrability is among the key benefits of a 3 wheeler buggies wheel pushchair. The wheels are positioned close, allowing the chassis turn and turn more easily than a four wheel pushchair. This makes them suitable for busy shops and streets. Some even have a pair of front wheels that can be locked and swivelled for extra manoeuvrability when needed. The Roma Atlas has two wheels at the front, which are set close together and a lock that allows it to be as solid as a 3-wheeler while still allowing for the same maneuverability.

A lot of our most well-loved 3 wheelers can be converted from pram, stroller, car seat, and toddler seat as your child grows. This is ideal for those who plan to travel with your family or taking frequent shopping trips. One example is the Baby Jogger Nipper pushchair that includes Hauck's XL air wheel and a 360 swivel lockable front wheel and suspension that allows it to be used on all terrains including off-road and jogging after your child is old enough to start jogging with you!

The ickle bubba Nipper is a different alternative. It's an all-terrain stroller that has large puncture-proof tyres and a fantastic suspension that makes it suitable for both off-road adventures as well as smooth city pavements. It is suitable for use from birth (in the seat unit that is reversible or with a carrycot that is compatible) and has a handy one-handed instant fold for boot storage and airport travel.

Choosing the right wheels for your pushchair is crucial dependent on the location you'll use it the most. Moulded wheels work well for city life but won't perform well on more rough terrain. If you intend to take your pushchair off of pavements you should choose tyres that are filled with air which are sometimes referred to as pneumatic tyres, which are capable of handling rough terrain.

If you're in search of a pushchair that can be used in both rural and urban settings, then check out our top-rated Bugaboo Fox 5 All Terrain pushchair. It's got all the fantastic suspension and big wheels of an all-terrain model, but it's also an excellent urban pushchair, with a lightweight 3 wheel buggy frame, easy-to-use lockable front wheel and a single-handed fold.

Stability

There are many features that you can look out for that will improve the stability of your buggy. For example, some designs have a swivelling front wheel that can lock into place to provide extra stability on rough terrain. This can be especially useful if you are going to use your pushchair off-road or for running as it gives you the confidence to go on varying surfaces easily.

Suspension is another good feature to ensure stability. It makes your pushchair more comfortable to ride, for both your child and you especially on rough terrain. Certain brands allow you to change the tyres on their pushchairs to tailor it to the terrain you will be using it on.

You should consider investing in a three-wheeled pushchair with tires that are filled with air if you want a pushchair that is able to handle any terrain. They provide a more comfortable ride over bumps and are less vulnerable to punctures than traditional wheels. They also permit you to ride on tracks that are not paved and will transport your buggy across different surfaces like grass, sand and mud.

All-terrain pushchairs can be slightly larger than standard models but there are some fantastic options that don't compromise the stability or maneuverability. One of our favourites, the UPPAbaby Ridge comes with many remarkable features that allow it to be used for off-road use and jogging when your child reaches a certain age. It comes with large, foam-filled, never-flat tyres and adjustable suspension and a quick one-handed folding.

It's a bit heavier than other 3 wheel buggies-wheelers, however it's still a great option for parents who wish to have their pushchair able to go on any terrain.

Weight

The disadvantage of 3 wheeled strollers is that they can be heavy, especially if you need to maneuver through bumpy terrain and kerbs. The larger rear wheels on a 3 wheel double pushchair-wheeler also make up a higher overall weight than 4 wheelers which means you may need more strength to lift them, particularly when folding them.

All-terrain models are a great option for those who want an infant stroller that can handle rough terrain or rough tarmac. They typically have features, such as robust suspensions and large puncture-proof tyres. Brands are increasingly designing all-terrain strollers equipped with tyres which are filled with foam or gel to prevent them from falling flat.

UPPAbaby's Ridge all-terrain pushchair comes with an excellent selection of parent-friendly features that allow to conquer all kinds of terrain with ease.

MFM reviewer Becky said that the Ridge is "very suitable for walking in the woods and gravel roads as well as market town cobbles".

Another brand to offer a range of all-terrain pushchairs is iCandy. The Core, their newest all-terrain pushchair, is ideal for infants as young as. It can be adapted to a car seat or carrycot. The iCandy Core has a host of features that will make it a great all-terrain stroller, including big foam-filled tyres that never flatten and an excellent suspension system. The Core is a little heavier than some other all-terrain pushchairs however it's still light enough to be maneuverable on rougher ground.

Folding

If you're in search of a pushchair that can withstand the toughest of terrain, you might want to consider an all-terrain model. This kind of pushchair comes with large wheels both on the front and rear to help it navigate rough off-road terrain. Most often, they'll have stronger suspension as well as more puncture-proof tyres that can prevent them from getting clogged up with sticks, grass or mud.

A good example of this type of pushchair is the Mountain Buggy Ridge. This all-terrain pushchair has a number of impressive features, like a smooth suspension, spacious basket, one handed steering, and a fast, one-handed folding. It's also compatible with a carrycot and car seat (with adaptors) which means it can be used from birth or even from six months old with the seat unit that faces the world.
