Why We Do We Love 3 Wheeled Pushchair And You Should Too

The Benefits and Drawbacks of a 3 Wheeled Pushchair
A three-wheeled pushchair is perfect if you walk regularly on rough terrain or jog. They are ideal if you want a buggy that will take on any terrain from busy high streets to woodland tracks.
Find 3 wheel pushchair with front wheels that can be locked or rotated. This will give you more flexibility. Larger wheels, both front and back offer a more comfortable ride on various surfaces.
Manoeuvrability
A 3-wheel pushchair is a great option for those who wish to be able to move easily. The wheels are close together and allow the chassis to turn and twist more easily than a four wheel pushchair. This makes them perfect for busy shops and streets. Some models even have a pair of front wheels that can be locked and swivelled to provide extra maneuverability when needed. The Roma Atlas has two wheels in the front set close together and a clever lock that allows it to be as solid as a 3-wheeler while still allowing for the same maneuverability.
A lot of our top-selling 3 wheelers come with a 4-in-1 travel systems that transform from a stroller to toddler seat and car seat carrier as your child grows. This is ideal if you're planning on travelling with your family or on frequent trips to the shops. One example is the Baby Jogger Nipper pushchair that comes with Hauck's XL air wheels with a 360-swivel lockable front wheel and suspension that makes it suitable for all terrains, including off-road and jogging when your child is old enough to be able to join in with you!
Another good choice is the ickle bubba Nipper, an all-terrain pushchair with a great suspension and large puncture proof tyres that allow it to be used for off-roading as well as smooth city pavements. It's suitable from birth (in the seat that can be reversible, or with a carrycot that is compatible) and features a handy quick fold that can be folded with one hand to store your boot and for airport travel.
It's important to choose the right wheels for a pushchair based on the location it will be used most. Moulded wheels are fine for city life but won't do well on rougher ground. If you're planning to take your pushchair off paved surfaces you should choose tyres that are filled with air which are sometimes referred to as pneumatic tyres, which are capable of handling rough terrain.
If you're in search of a pushchair that can be used in both urban and rural environments, then take a look at our top-rated Bugaboo Fox 5 All Terrain pushchair. It has all the suspension and large wheels you'd expect from a pushchair designed for all-terrain use, but it's also an urban pushchair that's super lightweight with a lockable front wheel.
Stability
You can increase the stability of your buggy by searching for specific features. For instance, certain models have a swivelling front wheel that can lock into place to provide extra stability on rough terrain. This is especially useful for those who plan to use your pushchair to jog or off-road. It will allow you to confidently take on different terrains.
Another excellent stability feature is suspension. This can make your buggy far more comfortable to ride in for both the baby and you especially on uneven terrain. Some brands allow you to change the tyres on their pushchairs so that they can be adapted to the terrain you'll be using it on.
Consider purchasing a 3-wheeled pushchair with tires that are filled with air If you are looking for an infant stroller that can take on any terrain. These wheels will provide a smoother ride over bumps, and are less likely to be punctured than solid wheels. They also allow you to ride on tracks that are not paved and can carry your buggy on different surfaces like grass, sand and mud.

Weight
The disadvantage of strollers with 3 wheels is that they're heavy, especially if you have to navigate rough terrain and kerbs. The larger rear wheels of a 3-wheeler add to the overall weight, which is heavier than the 4-wheeler. This means you will need more strength when lifting them.
