3 Wheeled Pushchairs Three-wheeled pushchairs offer an ideal option for mothers who love walking on a variety of terrain. These buggies are much easier to maneuver and are more stable on rough terrain because they have larger front wheels. If you intend to take your buggy off paved tracks pick a model that is air-filled tyres (sometimes called pneumatic). These are much more efficient on non-paved surfaces, and are puncture-proof too. Stability In general, the larger the wheels on your pushchair is, the better it will deal with rough terrain and uneven ground. This is because bigger wheels have a bigger contact area, so they are less likely to'skid' over bumps and dips. The larger wheels also provide a more comfortable ride to your child. The downside is that extra wheels could take up the space in your car boot, and some models with big front wheels might need to remove them when you wish to put it away flat. All-terrain strollers have features such as large puncture-proof tires, as well as sturdy suspension to allow them to handle everything from bustling strolls on the high streets to hikes in the woods. They tend to be more expensive than other models, but if you regularly use your pushchair away from the main path, they may be worth the extra cost. It is recommended to select a pushchair with pneumatic (or air-filled) tyres if you plan on taking it off roads. They are more suitable for rough terrain than tyres made of solid rubber. They are also less prone to punctures than tyres that are composed of metal or hard plastic. Some models of pushchair allow users to remove the front wheel when in use, which can make them easier to store – useful if you have an insufficient car boot. Some models also feature the front wheel that swivels and can be locked to provide stability on very rough terrain. It's important to know how easy it is for you to use a pushchair with this feature before you buy. If you're thinking of adding a second seat, parent-facing unit or car seat adaptors to your pushchair it is important to determine how easy it will be to change these elements and fold/unfold the pushchair when you have them attached, especially since you might have to do this with a child on board. Some models are designed to be simple and quick to change between these configurations, while others might require more patience. Manoeuvrability A 3-wheeled pushchair is much easier to steer and handle than a four-wheeler. The single wheel in the front makes it easy to navigate over bumps and rough terrain. Many models also come with suspension systems that are designed to absorb shocks and provide an enjoyable ride for your baby. MFM's Kath test-driven a three-wheeled buggie and was awed by how well it handled uneven pavements, cobblestones, and dirt tracks. She found it easy to go up and down kerbs and the wheels were quick to get over grass too. There are three types of 3 wheeled pushchairs namely strollers (also called Joggers) and models with all-terrain surfaces, and all-terrain models. Strollers have smaller wheels and narrower frames that are more designed for urban environments, whereas Joggers are fitted with big wheels and are designed for use off-road. They are equipped with a handbrake and adjustable handlebars and are great for walks off-road. All-terrain strollers are popular among parents who want to explore the countryside and take advantage of the outdoors. They usually come with larger, more durable wheels than standard pushchairs. They are ideal for rocky terrain and are suitable from the time of birth. However, you might need car seat adaptors to attach an infant car seat. Some pushchairs resemble 3-wheelers but are actually four wheels. Two wheels are positioned close in front, instead of the traditional central pair. This allows for the maneuverability of a three-wheeler while maintaining the stability and security of a four-wheeler. Some 3-wheel pushchairs have a swivelling and lockable front wheel, making them even more manoeuvrable. This is especially useful if you regularly encounter difficult surfaces, as it can assist you in avoiding getting stuck or walking around obstacles. Some all-terrain strollers are equipped with foam-filled “never flat” tyres, which don't require pumping. This makes them more comfortable and comfortable to use for long walks or for continuous use. These types of pushchairs tend to be heavier and bigger than other options. It is important to think about the way you'll transport or store them when you choose the best model. Weight Generally speaking 3-wheel pushchairs tend to be heavier and larger than standard pushchairs, particularly when they are equipped with large rear wheels. This makes it difficult to lift the pushchair when folded, such as when loading it into the car boot or climbing stairs. This may also make the pushchair feel a little weighty when you're out and about, and may limit how quickly you can navigate narrow spaces or aisles in stores. All-terrain strollers are designed to be used on a variety of terrains including rough and uneven terrain, mud, and gravel paths. These pushchairs typically come with large, puncture-proof tyres along with a robust suspension system to provide a safe and comfortable ride for your child. These pushchairs are generally expensive when compared with regular pushchairs. All-terrain pushchairs are a good option for those who reside in the countryside or take your baby on regular walks in the woods or in country parks. These pushchairs typically have large tyres both front as well as back, and are designed to withstand a wide variety of terrains. These pushchairs are usually suitable for rainy or muddy conditions however we suggest checking your tyres frequently to avoid air bubbles and flat spots. The iCandy Core, for example, is an all-terrain pushchair that checks off a number of boxes. 3 wheeler pushchair has a spacious basket that can hold up to 10kg, a single handed fold and adjustable handlebars. The large tyres are filled with foam tyres that never go flat. You don't have to worry about punctures. The seat is designed to be world-facing and suitable for babies from birth, and it can be used with the carrycot or an infant carrier. The Special Tomato Jogger is another alternative. It's a light and highly mobile design. It's perfect for parents who like taking walks or jogging, and comes with a suspension to ensure an enjoyable ride on all terrains. The fabric can be removed from the frame, and washed in cold water by machine. Tyres The tyres of a 3-wheel pushchair will often be larger than those found on the 4-wheel model, which can help to handle off-road terrain. The UPPAbaby Ridge for instance, has large foam-filled tyres that don't flatten, as well as a suspension system. This makes it suitable for long walks over rough terrain. It's also designed to be suitable for running after your baby has grown old enough due to a 360 locking swivel front wheel that can be locked and an adjustable suspension. However, larger tyres could increase the weight of the pushchair so you'll need to take this into consideration when choosing your model. You'll also need to consider whether you want a pushchair that has wheels that can be removed for storage space in your car boot. MFM reviewer Becky liked this feature because it made navigating around supermarket aisles much easier.
