The Benefits and Drawbacks of a 3 Wheeled Pushchair

If you regularly walk through rough terrain or would like to run in a pushchair with three wheel pushchair wheels, it's the ideal choice. They are the best option for those who need a buggy to handle any terrain from busy streets to forest tracks.

For more manoeuvrability, look for a model that has locking or swivelling front wheels. Larger wheels on the front and back offer an easier ride on varying terrains.

Manoeuvrability

Manoeuvrability is among the key benefits of a 3 wheel pushchair. The wheels are close together which allows the chassis to turn and twist more easily than a four wheel pushchair. This makes them suitable for busy streets and shops. Some even have a pair of front wheels that can be locked and swivelled to provide additional maneuverability when required. The Roma Atlas, for example, has two wheels positioned close together in front, and an ingenious swivel lock that gives it all the maneuverability of a 3-wheeler with added stability.

Many of our most loved 3 wheeler pushchairs wheelers are able to be converted from pram, stroller, toddler seat and car-seat carrier as your child grows. This is great if you are planning to travel together as a family or make frequent visits to the shops. One example is the Baby Jogger Nipper pushchair that includes Hauck's XL air wheel with a 360-swivel front wheel that can be locked and a suspension system that makes it suitable for all terrains, including off-road and jogging when your child is old enough to join in with you!

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

The wheels you choose for your pushchair is important dependent on the location you'll use it the most. Moulded wheels work well in the city, but not so on more rough terrain. If you plan on taking your pushchair off of pavements you should choose tyres that are filled with air, sometimes known as pneumatic tyres able to cope with rough terrain.

Stability

Suspension is an additional feature to ensure stability. It will make your buggy more comfortable to ride, for both your child and you, particularly on uneven terrain. Some brands allow you to swap out different tyres to allow you to tailor the performance of your pushchair according to the type of terrain you'll be taking it on.
