Why You Should Concentrate On Improving 3 Wheeled Pushchair
The Benefits and Drawbacks of a 3 wheel parent facing pushchair Wheeled Pushchair
A three-wheeled buggy is ideal for those who regularly walk on rough terrain or jog. They are a great option if want a buggy that will take on any terrain, from busy streets to tracks in the woods.
Find models with front wheels that can be locked or turned. This gives you more flexibility. Front and rear wheels that are bigger give you an easier ride on different surfaces.
Manoeuvrability
A lightest 3 wheel stroller-wheel pushchair is a fantastic option for those looking to be able to move easily. The wheels are set close to each other, allowing the chassis to turn and twist more easily than a conventional 4 wheel pushchair, making them ideal for busy streets and shopping. Some even have a small pair of front wheels that can be locked and swivelled for additional maneuverability when required. The Roma Atlas, for example has two wheels placed close to each other at the front, and a clever lock that swivels to give it all the maneuverability of three wheels, with added stability.
Many of our most loved 3 wheelers can be transformed from pram, stroller, car-seat and toddler seats as your child develops. This is ideal if you plan to travel with your family, or make frequent trips to the shop. The Baby Jogger Nipper is a great illustration. It has Hauck airwheels that are XL, a 360-degree swivel lockable wheel, and a suspension that allows it to be used on any terrain.
The ickle bubba Nipper is a different option. It's an all-terrain stroller with large puncture-proof tyres and great suspension that allows it to be used for both off-road excursions and smooth city pavements. It can be used from birth using the seat that can be reversible or carrycot that is compatible with. It also has a one-handed fold for easy storage in the boot, and for travel to airports.
The right wheels for your pushchair is important depending on where you'll be using it the most. Moulded wheels are great for the city but not on rougher terrain. If you're planning to take your pushchair off of pavements you should choose tyres that are filled with air also known as pneumatic tyres that are able to cope with rough terrain.
If you're looking for a pushchair that can be used in both urban and rural environments, then take a look at our top-rated Bugaboo Fox 5 All Terrain pushchair. It comes with all the suspension and big wheels you'd expect from an all-terrain pushchair, but it's also a city pushchair that's extremely light and has the option of locking the front wheel.
Stability
There are many features that you can look for that will increase the stability of your buggy. For instance, certain models feature a swivelling front wheel that can lock into place to give you extra stability when driving on rough terrain. This can be particularly useful when you're planning to be using your pushchair off-road or running, as it gives you the confidence to go on varying surfaces without difficulty.
Another good stability feature is suspension - this will make your baby's buggy more comfortable for both the baby and you particularly on uneven ground. Some brands allow you to alter the tyres of their pushchairs, allowing it to be tailored 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 can handle any terrain. These wheels will offer smoother rides over bumps, and are less likely to be punctured than solid wheels. They also allow you to ride on tracks that are not paved and will transport your buggy on different surfaces like grass, sand, and mud.

Weight
The downside of 3 wheeled strollers is that they are heavy, especially when you have to navigate bumpy terrain or kerbs. The larger rear wheels of a 3 wheel stroller travel system-wheeler contribute to the overall weight, which is heavier than the 4-wheeler. This means that you'll need more strength to lift them.

These models usually have special features such as strong suspension systems and large puncture-proof tires.

This kind of pushchair will come with large wheels both front and back to help tackle bumpy, off-road terrain. Often they'll have more robust suspension too and larger puncture-proof tyres to prevent them from getting clogged up with sticks, grass or mud.
