3 Wheeled Pushchairs Three-wheeled pushchairs can be an excellent option for mothers who enjoy walking on varied terrain. The larger front wheels on these buggies make them easier to maneuver and offer greater stability on uneven ground. If you plan to use your buggy on surfaces other than paved tracks, select a model that has air-filled tires (also called pneumatic). They are more effective on surfaces that are not paved and are puncture-proof too. Stability The larger the wheels of your pushchair are the better able they are to handle rough terrain and ground. This is because bigger wheels are more likely to'skid over bumps and dips. The larger wheels also provide the most comfortable ride for your child. The downside is the extra wheels can take up space in the car boot. Certain models of pushchairs with large front wheels will need to be removed in order to keep them flat. All-terrain strollers come with features like large puncture-proof tires, as well as robust suspension that allows them to handle everything from bustling high-street strolls to forest hikes. They can be more expensive than other models, however when you frequently use your pushchair off the beaten path, they may be worth the extra expense. If you plan to take your pushchair off paved surfaces, it's worth choosing one that has tyres filled with air (sometimes called pneumatic tyres) because they are more suitable for rough ground than the solid rubber ones. They are also less likely to break than ones made of metal or hard plastic. Certain pushchairs allow you to remove the front wheel when not in use. This can make them easier for you to store, particularly if you only have an empty boot. Certain models also come with a swivelling front wheel that can be locked to give stability over very rough ground. It's important to know the ease of you to use a pushchair equipped with this feature prior to purchasing. If you're considering adding a second seat, parent-facing unit or car seat adaptors for your pushchair, it's important to check how it's going to be easy to switch these components and fold/unfold the pushchair with them attached, especially since you might have to do this with a child on board. Some models are designed to allow rapid and simple modifications to the configuration, whereas others require more patience. Manoeuvrability A 3-wheel pushchair can be easier to steer and handle than a four-wheeler, with the single wheel in front making it easy to maneuver over rough terrain or bumps. Many models come with suspension systems that help to absorb shocks and provide your child with an easy ride. MFM reviewer Kath put a three-wheeled buggy to the test, and was amazed by the ease with which it negotiated bumpy cobbles, pavements, and dirt tracks. She found it easy to get up and down kerbs, and the wheels were quick to negotiate over grass too. There are three kinds of three-wheeled pushchairs: strollers (also known as joggers) and models with all-terrain surfaces, and all-terrain models. Strollers are best suited for urban environments with their smaller frames and narrower wheels, while joggers have larger wheels and are designed to take you off-road. They come with a handbrake, adjustable handlebars and are perfect for off-road strolls. All-terrain strollers are popular with parents who want to explore the countryside and enjoy the outdoors. They usually come with wheels that are larger and more durable than regular pushchairs. They are ideal for terrains that are rough and are generally used from birth, although you might need to purchase car seat adaptors if you want to attach a compatible infant carrier. Some pushchairs resemble 3-wheelers, but they have four wheels. Two wheels are set close in front instead of the traditional central pair. This gives maneuverability and the stability of a four-wheeler. Some 3-wheeled pushchairs include an swivelable and lockable front wheel that makes them more mobile. This is especially useful when you have to navigate through rough terrain frequently, since you can avoid getting stuck or encountering obstacles to navigate around. Some all-terrain pushchairs are also fitted with foam-filled 'never flat' tyres, which don't require pumping up, so they're more convenient and comfortable for long walks or continuous use. These types of pushchairs are generally heavier and bigger than other models. It is important to consider how you will transport them or store them when selecting your preferred model. Weight Generally speaking, 3-wheel pushchairs tend to be heavier and bigger than standard pushchairs, especially when they come with large back wheels. This can make it difficult to lift the pushchair once folded, for example when loading it into the car boot or climbing steps. This may also make the pushchair feel weighty when you're out and about, and may hinder your ability to navigate narrow spaces or aisles in shops. All-terrain pushchairs are built to handle a range of different terrains, such as rough and uneven ground as well as mud and gravel trails. These pushchairs come with large, puncture-proof tires as well as an extremely sturdy suspension that will provide a comfortable ride for your child. They are usually costly compared to normal pushchairs. If you reside in the countryside, or regularly take your baby for walks in woodland or country parks A pushchair that is all-terrain could be the best option. These pushchairs will generally have large tyres both front and back, and they are designed to withstand many different terrains. These pushchairs are usually suitable for muddy or wet weather, but we recommend regularly checking your tyres to avoid air bubbles and flat spots. The iCandy Core, for example, is an all-terrain pushchair that ticks a lot of boxes. It has a generous basket that can carry up to 10kg, a single handed fold and adjustable handlebars. Its large tyres have foam-filled tyres that never go flat. It isn't necessary to worry about punctures. The seat is suitable for use from birth and is suitable for all different ages. 3 wheeler pushchair can also be used in conjunction with a carrycot and a compatible infant carrier. Another alternative is another option is the Special Tomato Jogger, which features a light design and excellent manoeuvrability. It's a great choice for parents who love to go for walks or jogs along with their child and also has suspension that will ensure an enjoyable ride on all kinds of terrain. The fabric can be removed from the frame, and then washed with cold water using a machine. Tyres The tyres on a 3-wheel pushchair will often be larger than those found on the 4-wheel model and can help deal with off-road terrain. The UPPAbaby Ridge, for example, has large foam-filled tyres that don't flatten, as well as a suspension system. This makes it ideal for long-distance walks on rough terrain. It is also designed to be suitable to run when your child is old enough. This is due to a 360-degree lockable front wheel, and adjustable suspension. However, larger tyres could increase the overall weight of the pushchair, so you'll need to consider this when choosing your model. 3 wheel pushchair will also need to decide if you'd like a model that has wheels that are removable so that it is more easily stored in your car boot. MFM reviewer Becky especially liked this feature because it made manoeuvring around the corners of supermarkets much easier.
