3 Wheeled Pushchairs Three-wheeled pushchairs are a great alternative for moms who like walking on different terrain. The larger front wheels on these buggies make them easier to manoeuvre and provide more stability when walking on rough terrain. If you intend to use your buggy off paved tracks opt for a model that has air-filled tyres (sometimes called pneumatic). These are more efficient and puncture-proof on non-paved surfaces. Stability The bigger the wheels of your pushchair are the better able they are to deal with rough terrain and the ground. This is because the larger wheels have a bigger contact area, so they are less likely to'skid' over bumps and dips. They also offer a more comfortable ride for your child. The downside is that the additional wheels can take up space in your car's boot, and some models with big front wheels may require to have them removed in order to store it flat. All-terrain strollers have features such as large puncture-proof tires and robust suspension that allows them to take on everything from bustling high-street strolls to forest hikes. They can be more expensive than other models, but If you are regularly using your pushchair off the beaten path, they may be worth the extra expense. It is better to choose a pushchair that has pneumatic (or air-filled) tires if you are planning to take it off roads. They are better suited for rough terrain than solid rubber tyres. They are also less prone to punctures than tyres that are composed of hard plastic or metal. Certain pushchairs allow you to remove the front wheel when not in use. This can make them easier to store, especially when you have the space for a small boot. Some models also feature an swivelling front wheel that can be locked to provide stability over very rough ground. It's worth checking how easy it is for you to use a pushchair that has this feature before you buy. If you're thinking of adding a second seat, parent-facing unit or car seat adaptors for your pushchair, it's important to know how easy it will be to change these elements and fold or unfold the pushchair with them attached – especially as you might have to carry a baby on board. Some models are designed to be fast and simple to switch between these configurations, while others may require more patience. Manoeuvrability A pushchair with three wheels is easier to handle and steer than a 4-wheeler. The single wheel on the front allows you to easily navigate over bumps and rough terrain. Many models come with suspension systems that absorb the shocks and give your child an easy ride. MFM's Kath tried a tri-wheeled buggie and was awed by how well it handled uneven pavements, cobblestones, and dirt tracks. Kath found it easy to go up and down kerbs, and the wheels were quick to get over grass too. There are three main kinds of 3 wheel pushchairs such as joggers, strollers and all-terrain models. Strollers are equipped with smaller wheels and narrower frames that are more designed for urban environments, while Joggers are fitted with big wheels and are specifically designed for off-road use. They typically feature a handbrake and adjustable handlebars. They are ideal for off-road walks. All-terrain strollers are popular with parents who like to explore the countryside and take advantage of the outdoors. They typically have wheels that are larger and more durable than regular pushchairs. They are ideal for terrains that are rough and are generally used from birth, but you may need to purchase car seat adaptors if you need to attach an infant carrier. Some pushchairs act like 3-wheelers, but actually come with four wheels, with two small wheels positioned close together in front instead of the traditional central pair. This provides manoeuvrability with the stability of a four-wheeler. Some 3-wheeled pushchairs come with a lockable and swivelable front wheel that makes them more mobile. This is particularly useful in areas where you face a lot of difficulty frequently, since you can avoid getting stuck or encountering obstacles to navigate around. Certain all-terrain strollers come with foam-filled “never flat” tyres, which don't require pumping. This makes them more convenient and comfortable to use on long walks or for regular use. It's worth noting that these types of pushchairs are generally larger and heavier than other pushchairs, so it's important to consider the method you'll use for transporting them or storing them when deciding on your preferred model. Weight Generally speaking, 3-wheel pushchairs tend to be heavier and larger than standard pushchairs, especially when they come with large back wheels. This makes it difficult to lift the pushchair while folded, like when loading into the car boot or climbing stairs. This can also make the pushchair feel a little bulky when out and about, and may hinder your ability to manoeuvre through small spaces or aisles in shops. All-terrain strollers are designed to be used on different terrains like rough and uneven terrain as well as mud and gravel paths. These pushchairs typically come with large, puncture-proof tyres as well as an extremely sturdy suspension system to provide an enjoyable ride for your child. They are typically expensive when compared with regular pushchairs. If you reside in the countryside, or take your child regularly for walks through woodlands or country parks A pushchair that is all-terrain could be a good option. These pushchairs are designed to withstand a variety of terrains and will have large tyres on both the front and rear. These pushchairs are usually suitable for rainy or muddy conditions, but we recommend regularly checking your tyres to avoid air bubbles and flat spots. The iCandy Core is a great all-terrain stroller that checks off a lot of the boxes. It comes with a large 10kg basket that folds with one hand and an adjustable handlebar. Its large tyres are foam-filled and never flat, so you won't need to worry about punctures or losing air pressure. The seat is orientated to the world and is suitable from birth and it can be used with an infant carrycot or infant carrier. Another alternative is the Special Tomato Jogger, which has a lightweight design and excellent manoeuvrability. It's a great choice for parents who love to take walks or jogs with their child and also is equipped with a suspension system to ensure an enjoyable ride on all types of terrain. The fabric can be removed from the frame and then washed with cold water using a machine. Tyres A 3-wheel pushchair's tyres will often be larger than those on the 4-wheel model, which can help to navigate off-road terrain. The UPPAbaby Ridge, for example has tyres with large, foam-filled tyres that don't flatten, as well as a suspension system. 3 wheeler pushchair makes it ideal for long-distance walks on rough terrain. It is designed to be able to run after your child has grown old enough. This is due to a 360-degree lockable front wheel, and an adjustable suspension. You'll want to consider the weight of your pushchair when deciding on a model. You'll also have to decide if you want a model with removable wheels so that it is easy to store in your car boot. MFM reviewer Becky liked this feature as it made getting around supermarket aisles much more convenient.
