3 Wheeled Pushchairs Three-wheeled pushchairs are an excellent option for mothers who love walking on a variety of terrain. The larger front wheels on these pushchairs make them easier to maneuver and provide more stability on rough ground. If you intend to drive your buggy on surfaces other than paved tracks, select a model that has air-filled tires (also called pneumatic). They are much more effective on non-paved surfaces, and are puncture-proof too. Stability The bigger the wheels of your pushchair the better they are able to deal with rough terrain and the ground. This is because the larger wheels have a larger contact area, so they are less likely to skid over dips and bumps. They also provide 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 with large front wheels will need to be removed to store them flat. All-terrain pushchairs are made to handle anything from busy high-street strolls to wooded walks, and are fitted with features that enable them to achieve this, like sturdy suspension and large puncture-proof tyres. These models are generally more expensive, but if your pushchair is used off the beaten path frequently, they might be worth the investment. It's better to choose a pushchair that has pneumatic (or air-filled) tires if you are planning on taking it off roads. They are more suitable for rough terrain than solid rubber tyres. They are also much less vulnerable to punctures than tyres which are composed from hard plastic or metal. Some pushchairs let you to click off the front wheel when in use, which can make them easier to store, which is useful in the event that you have a small car boot. Some models have front wheels that can be locked in place to ensure stability when on rough terrain. It's worth checking the ease of 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 to your pushchair it is important to determine how easy it will be to switch these components and fold/unfold the pushchair with the attached items, particularly as you may 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 is typically more maneuverable and manage than a 4-wheeler, with the single wheel in front making it easy to navigate over bumps or rough terrain. A lot of models come with suspension systems, designed to absorb shocks and provide an enjoyable ride for your baby. MFM's Kath tested a three-wheeled buggie and was amazed by the ease with which it handled uneven pavements, cobblestones and dirt tracks. She found it easy to get up and down kerbs, and the wheels were quick to maneuver over grass too. There are three kinds of three-wheeled pushchairs: strollers (also known as Joggers) models that are all-terrain and all-terrain models. Strollers are ideal for urban environments with their smaller wheels and narrower frames, while joggers have larger wheels and are designed to be used off-road. They usually feature a handbrake and adjustable handlebars. They are great for tackling off-road trails. All-terrain pushchairs are popular for parents who want to enjoy the outdoors and explore the countryside. They typically come with larger and more durable wheels than regular pushchairs. They are suitable for rocky terrain and are suitable from the time of birth. However, you may require car seat adaptors to connect an infant carrier. Some pushchairs resemble 3-wheelers, but have four wheels. Two wheels are placed close together in front, instead of the traditional central pair. This gives maneuverability and the stability of a four-wheeler. Some 3-wheeled pushchairs include a lockable and swivelable front wheel that makes them more maneuverable. This is particularly useful for those who frequently encounter challenging surfaces, as it can assist you in avoiding getting stuck or walking around obstacles. Certain all-terrain pushchairs come fitted with foam-filled 'never flat' tyres, which don't need pumping up, so they're more convenient and comfortable for long walks or frequent use. It's important to remember that these kinds of pushchairs are generally larger and heavier than other options which is why it's essential to think about how you'll be transporting or storing them before selecting the best model for you. Weight Generally speaking 3-wheel pushchairs tend be heavier and more spacious than standard pushchairs, especially when they have large rear wheels. This can make it difficult to lift the pushchair once folded, like when loading it into the car boot or going up the stairs. This could make the pushchair feel a little weighty when you're out and about, and can limit how quickly you can manoeuvre through small spaces or aisles in shops. All-terrain strollers are designed to be used on various terrains, including rough and uneven terrain such as mud, gravel, and paths. These pushchairs come with large, puncture-proof tires. They also have a sturdy suspension to provide a comfortable ride for the child. They are typically a lot more expensive than standard pushchairs. If you live in the countryside or regularly take your baby to walks in the woods or country parks A pushchair that is all-terrain could be a great choice. These pushchairs are designed to be able to handle a variety of terrains, and will have large tyres both on the front and rear. They are an ideal choice for muddy or wet weather however we suggest regularly checking your tyres to avoid air bubbles and flat spots. The iCandy Core is a great all-terrain stroller which ticks many of the boxes. It comes with a large 10kg basket, a one-handed fold and an adjustable handlebar. Its large tyres have foam-filled tyres that will never flat. It isn't necessary to worry about punctures. 3 wheel pushchair is designed to be world-facing and suitable for babies from birth, and can be used in conjunction with the carrycot or an infant carrier. Another alternative is another option is the Special Tomato Jogger, which features a light design and great maneuverability. It's an excellent choice for parents who are active and like to go for walks or jogs along with their child and comes with suspension that will ensure an enjoyable ride on all types of terrain. The fabric can be removed from the frame, and washed in cold water by machine. Tyres The tyres on a 3-wheel pushchair will often be larger than those of the 4-wheel model that can help navigate off-road terrain. The UPPAbaby Ridge for instance, has large foam-filled tyres that don't flatten, as well as suspension systems. This makes it suitable for long-distance walks on rough terrain. It's also designed to be suitable for running once your baby is old enough thanks to a 360 pivoting lockable front wheel and adjustable suspension. You should consider the weight of your pushchair when choosing a model. More Help will also need to decide if you would like a model with removable wheels to make it easy to store in your car boot. MFM reviewer Becky particularly liked this feature as it made maneuvering around supermarket corners much easier.
