The Three Greatest Moments In 3 Wheeled Pushchair History
The Benefits and Drawbacks of a 3 Wheeled Pushchair
A three-wheeled buggy is ideal for those who regularly walk on uneven terrain or jog. They are a great option if want a buggy that will handle all types of terrain, from busy high streets to woodland tracks.
For greater maneuverability, opt for a design with swivelling or lockable front wheels. Larger wheels, both front and back offer an easier ride on varying terrains.
Manoeuvrability
Manoeuvrability is a main advantages of a 3 wheel pushchair. The wheels are close, allowing the chassis turn and turn more easily than a four wheel pushchair. This makes them ideal for busy shops and streets. Some even have a small pair of front wheels that can be locked and swivelled for additional maneuverability when required. The Roma Atlas has two wheels at the front, which are placed close together, and a smart lock that allows it to be as solid as a 3 wheel running stroller-wheeler while still allowing for the same maneuverability.
Many of our most popular 3 wheelers are able to be converted from pram, stroller, toddler seat and car-seat carrier as your child develops. This is ideal when you're planning to travel with your family or on frequent shopping trips. The Baby Jogger Nipper is a perfect illustration. It has Hauck airwheels that are XL, a 360-degree swivel lockable wheel, and a suspension which lets it be used on any terrain.
The ickle Bubba Nipper is another alternative. It's an all-terrain stroller that has large puncture-proof tyres as well as a 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 seat unit that is reversible or with a carrycot that is compatible) and comes with a convenient one-handed instant fold to store your boot and for airport travel.
It is crucial to select the right wheels for a pushchair depending on where it will be used the most. Moulded wheels are great for city use but will not be able to handle rougher terrain. If you intend to take your pushchair off the paved surfaces, choose pneumatic tyres. They can handle rough terrain.

It's got all the great suspension and large wheels of an all-terrain model but it's also a brilliant urban pushchair with a super lightweight 3 wheel stroller frame, an easy-to-use lockable front wheel and one-handed fold.
Stability
There are many features that you can look for that will increase the stability of your buggy. For instance, some models come with a swivelling front wheels that can lock in place to give you extra stability when driving on rough terrain. This can be especially useful when you're planning to use your pushchair off-road or running, as it gives you the confidence to go any surface easily.
Another good stability feature is suspension. This makes your buggy more comfortable for both the baby and you especially on uneven terrain. Some brands also offer the option to swap out tyres of different brands so that you can alter the performance of your pushchair to suit the type of terrain you'll be riding it on.
If you're in the market for a 3 wheeled pushchair that will perform well on any terrain, consider investing in a model with air-filled tyres. 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 can carry your buggy across different surfaces like grass, sand and mud.
All-terrain pushchairs tend to be slightly wider than standard pushchairs but there are plenty of excellent options that won't compromise on stability or manoeuvrability. One of our favourites is the UPPAbaby Ridge that comes with a range of impressive features that allow it to be used for off-road and jogging (once your child is old enough).

Weight
The downside of 3 wheeled strollers is that they're heavy, especially when you have to navigate bumpy terrain and kerbs. The larger rear wheels of a 3 wheel twin stroller-wheeler increase the overall weight, which is higher than the 4-wheeler. This means that you will need more strength when lifting them.
If you need an infant stroller that can withstand rough terrain and tarmac that is rocky the all-terrain model might be worth a look. They typically have features, like a robust suspensions and large puncture-proof tyres.
