Why You Should Concentrate On Improving 3 Wheeled Pushchair

The Benefits and Drawbacks of a 3 Wheeled Pushchair
If you regularly walk through rough terrain, or wish to exercise on a treadmill, a three-wheeled pushchair is the best option. They are a great option if want a buggy that will take on any terrain from busy high streets to tracks in the woods.
Look for designs with front wheels that can be locked or swivelled. This will allow you more flexibility. Larger wheels both front and back offer an easier ride on different surfaces.
Manoeuvrability
Manoeuvrability is among the main advantages of a 3 wheel pushchair. The wheels are set close to each other, allowing the chassis to turn and twist more easily than a conventional four wheel pushchair, making them perfect for busy streets and shops. Some even have a small pair of front wheels that can be locked and swivelled for extra maneuverability when needed. The Roma Atlas has two wheels at the front that are placed close together, and a smart lock that allows it to be as solid as a 3-wheeler while still allowing for the same maneuverability.
Many of our most loved 3 wheelers are able to be converted from stroller, pram, car seat, and toddler seat as your child grows. This is great when you are planning to travel with your family or make frequent trips to the shop. The Baby Jogger Nipper is a great example. It features Hauck airwheels that are XL with a 360-degree locking swivel wheel, and a suspension which allows it to be used on all terrains.
Another great option is the ickle Bubba Nipper, a pushchair that is all-terrain with great suspension and large puncture proof tyres that make it suitable for off-roading and smooth city pavements. It's suitable from birth (in the seat unit that is reversible or with a carrycot compatible) and has a handy one-handed fold that is ideal to store your boot and for airport travel.
The wheels you choose for your pushchair is essential dependent on the location you'll be using it most. Moulded wheels are fine for city life but won't do well on rougher ground. If you intend to take your pushchair off paved surfaces, opt for air-filled tyres, sometimes known as pneumatic tyres, which are able to cope with rough terrain.
If you're looking for a pushchair built to be able to handle both rural and urban environments, take a look at our top-rated Bugaboo 5 All-Terrain pushchair. It comes with all the suspension and large wheels you'd expect from an all-terrain pushchair, but it's also a city pushchair that's super lightweight with a lockable front wheel.
Stability
There are many options to look for that will increase the stability of your buggy. Certain models come with a swiveling front wheel that is locked to provide extra stability on uneven terrain. This can be particularly useful for those who will use your pushchair off-road, or for running, as it gives you the confidence to go off on different surfaces without difficulty.
Another excellent stability feature is suspension. 3 wheeler pushchairs will make your baby's buggy more comfortable to ride in for both the baby and you, especially on uneven ground. Some brands allow you to swap out different tyres to allow you to tailor the performance of your pushchair to suit the type of terrain you will be taking 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 will give you a more comfortable ride over bumps and are less susceptible 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 dirt, grass, sand and mud.
All-terrain strollers are generally wider than standard models however there are some fantastic options that do not compromise on maneuverability or stability. One of our favourites is the UPPAbaby Ridge which has numerous impressive features that allow it to be used for off-road walking as well as running (once your child is old enough). They include large, foam filled never-flat tyres and adjustable suspension, and a simple one-handed folding.

It's a little heavier than some of the other 3-wheelers, but is an excellent option for parents looking to take their pushchairs on any terrain.
Weight
The disadvantage of strollers with three wheels is that they can be heavy, particularly if you need to maneuver through bumpy terrain and kerbs. The larger rear wheels on a 3-wheeler add up to a greater total weight than 4-wheelers, which means that you'll require more strength to lift them, especially when folding.
All-terrain models are a good option if you want a pushchair to handle rough terrain or rocky tarmac. 3 wheeled pushchair have specific features like a sturdy suspension system and large puncture-proof tires. There are a lot of brands that are designing strollers that are all-terrain and have tyres that are filled with gel or foam to prevent them from falling flat.

Folding

This type of pushchair has large wheels both in the front and back to help tackle bumpy, off-road terrain. They usually have more durable suspension as well as more puncture-proof tyres to stop them from getting clogged up with grass, sticks or mud.
