The Benefits and Drawbacks of a 3 Wheeled Pushchair

A three wheeler pushchair-wheeled buggy is ideal for those who regularly walk on rough terrain or run. These are the best if you need a buggy to handle any terrain from busy streets to forest tracks.

Look for models with front wheels that can be locked or rotated. This gives you more flexibility. Front and rear wheels that are larger give you the most comfortable riding on different surfaces.

Manoeuvrability

A 3-wheel pushchair is an excellent option for those looking to be able to maneuver effortlessly. The wheels are close and allow the chassis to turn and twist 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 that are positioned close together and a lock that allows it to be as solid as a 3 wheel stroller for newborn-wheeler while still having the same maneuverability.

Many of our best-selling 3 wheelers come with a 4-in-1 travel systems that convert from stroller to pram to a toddler seat or car seat carrier as your child grows. This is a great option if you intend to travel with your family, or make frequent visits to the shops. One such example is the Baby Jogger Nipper pushchair that comes with Hauck's XL air wheels, a 360 swivel front wheel that locks and an adjustable suspension system that makes it suitable for all types of terrain, including off-road, and jogging once your baby is old enough to be able to join in with you!

The ickle bubba Nipper is another alternative. It's an all-terrain stroller, with large puncture-proof tyres and great suspension that allows it to be used for both off-road adventures and smooth city pavements. It's suitable for use from birth (in the reversible seat unit or with a carrycot compatible) and comes with a convenient one-handed fold that is ideal for storage in the boot and airport travel.

It is essential to select the correct wheels for your pushchair based on where it will be used the most. Moulded wheels work well in the city but not on more rough terrain. If you plan on taking your pushchair off pavements choose tyres with air in them, sometimes known as pneumatic tyres, which are able to cope with rough terrain.

Stability

There are many options to look out for that will improve the stability of your buggy. Certain models come with a rotating front wheel that can be locked to give extra stability when riding on rough terrain. This can be especially useful when you're planning to be using your pushchair off-road or running, as it gives you the confidence to go any surface with ease.

Suspension is another good feature for stability. It can make your pushchair more comfortable to ride, for both your child and you especially on rough terrain. Some brands even provide the option of swapping out tyres with different sizes to allow you to tailor the performance of your pushchair to suit the type of terrain you will be riding it on.

Consider purchasing a 3-wheeled pushchair with tires that are filled with air if you want an infant stroller that can take on any terrain. They provide a more comfortable ride on bumps and are less vulnerable to punctures than solid wheels. These wheels allow you to use your buggy on unpaved surfaces and can be used on many surfaces, including grass as well as sand and mud.

Weight

The downside of 3 wheeled strollers is that they're heavy, especially if you have to navigate rough terrain and kerbs. The larger rear wheels on a 3-wheeler also make up a higher total weight than 4-wheelers, which means that you'll require more strength to lift them, especially when folding them.
