3 Wheeled Pushchairs 3 wheeled pushchairs are great option for mums who like to walk over diverse terrain. These buggies are much easier to maneuver and more stable on rough terrain because they have larger front wheels. If you intend to use your buggy on roads, pick a model that is air-filled tyres (sometimes called pneumatic). They are more effective and puncture-proof on surfaces that are not paved. Stability The larger the wheels on your pushchair, the better it will be able to handle rough ground and terrain. It's because larger wheels are more likely to'skid' on bumps and dips. The larger wheels also offer a more comfortable ride for your child. The disadvantage is that the extra wheels take up space in the car boot. Some models of pushchairs that have large front wheels will need to be removed in order to store them flat. All-terrain strollers are equipped with features such as large puncture-proof tires as well as a robust suspension that allows them to withstand everything from busy high-street strolls to hikes in the woods. They are often more expensive than other models, but when you frequently use your pushchair away from the main track, they might be worth the extra expense. If you intend to take your pushchair off paved surfaces, it's worth opting for a pushchair that has tyres filled with air (sometimes called pneumatic tyres) as these are much more suitable for rough ground than solid rubber ones. They are also less likely to break than those made of metal or plastic. Some pushchairs allow you to remove the front wheel when not in use. This can make them easier for you to store, especially in the case of an empty boot. Some models also feature an swivelling front wheel that can be locked to provide stability on rough terrain. If you're considering purchasing a pushchair that has this feature, it's worth seeing how it's easy to use before you purchase. If you're thinking of adding a second seat, parent-facing unit, or car seat adaptors for your pushchair, it's important to check how it is easy to change these elements and fold/unfold the pushchair when you have them attached, especially since you might have to do this with a baby on board. Some models are designed to be quick and easy to change between these configurations, while others might require more patience. Manoeuvrability A 3-wheeled pushchair is easier to steer and handle than a four-wheeler. The single wheel in the front allows you to easily navigate over bumps and rough terrain. A lot of models have suspension systems that help to absorb shocks and provide your child with a smooth ride. MFM reviewer Kath put a three-wheeled buggy to the test, and was amazed by how well it sailed over bumpy cobbles, pavements, and dirt tracks. Kath found it easy to get up and down kerbs and the wheels were quick to get over grass too. There are three main types of 3 wheel pushchairs such as joggers, strollers and all-terrain models. Strollers are best suited to urban environments with their smaller frames and narrower wheels while joggers come with large wheels and are designed to take you off-road. They usually feature a handbrake and adjustable handlebars. They are great for tackling off-road walks. 3 wheeler pushchair -terrain pushchairs are a favorite for parents who want to enjoy the outdoors and enjoy the countryside. They usually have more robust and larger wheels than standard pushchairs. They're ideal for rough terrain and are generally used from birth, however you may need to buy car seat adaptors if you need to attach an infant carrier. Some pushchairs appear to be 3-wheelers, but have four wheels. Two wheels are positioned close in front of the traditional central pair. This gives maneuverability and the stability of a four-wheeler. Some 3-wheel pushchairs feature an swivelling and lockable front wheel, which makes them even more maneuverable. This is especially beneficial in areas where you face a lot of difficulty 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 that don't need pumping up, so they're more convenient and comfortable for long walks or frequent use. These kinds of pushchairs are generally heavier and bulkier than other models. It is crucial to consider the way you'll transport them or store them when choosing the model you prefer. Weight In general, 3-wheeled pushchairs are heavier and more spacious than standard pushchairs. This is particularly true when they feature large back wheels. It can be a challenge to lift a pushchair while it is folded, such as when loading it into the car's boot or when navigating stairs. This can also make the pushchair feel heavy when you are out and about, and may restrict the speed at which you can navigate narrow spaces or aisles in shops. All-terrain strollers are designed to be used on a variety of terrains including rough and uneven terrain as well as mud and gravel paths. These pushchairs will typically feature large, puncture-proof tyres and a sturdy suspension system to offer a comfortable ride for your child. They will usually be quite much more expensive than regular pushchairs. All-terrain pushchairs are a great choice when you live in the country or take your baby on regular walks in woods or in country parks. These pushchairs are designed to handle different terrains and will have large tyres both on the front and rear. They are suitable for wet or muddy weather, but we recommend checking your tyres frequently to avoid air bubbles and flat spots. The iCandy Core, for example is a pushchair that can be used on all terrains that ticks a lot of boxes. It has a spacious basket that can carry up to 10kg, a single hand fold and adjustable handlebars. The large tyres are filled with foam and never flat, so you won't need to worry about punctures or loss of air pressure. The seat is world-facing and suitable for babies from birth, and can be used in conjunction with a carrycot or a compatible infant carrier. The Special Tomato Jogger is another alternative. It's a light and highly mobile design. It's a great option for active parents who like to go for walks or jogs along with their child, and it has suspension to provide a comfortable ride on different kinds of terrain. The fabric can be removed from the frame and washed in cold water by machine. Tyres The tyres of a 3-wheel pushchair are usually larger than those on a 4-wheel pram and can help handle off-road terrain. The UPPAbaby Ridge, for example has tyres with large, foam-filled tyres that never flatten and suspension systems. This makes it ideal for long walks on rough terrain. It's also designed to be suitable for jogging once your baby is old enough, thanks to a 360-degree swivel lockable front wheel and adjustable suspension. However, larger tyres may add weight to the pushchair, so you'll need to take this into account when deciding on the model. It is also important to decide if you want a model with removable wheels so that it is easier to store in your car boot. MFM reviewer Becky particularly liked this feature because it made maneuvering around supermarket corners much easier.
