3 Wheeled Pushchairs Three-wheeled pushchairs can be a great alternative for moms who love walking on a variety of terrain. These buggies are much easier to maneuver and more robust on rough terrain as they have larger front wheels. If you intend to drive your buggy on terrains other than paved tracks, select one with air-filled tires (also called pneumatic). These are much more efficient on non-paved surfaces and are puncture-proof too. Stability The larger the wheels of your pushchair are the better able they are to handle rough terrain and ground. It is because larger wheels are more likely to skid on dips and bumps. The larger wheels also offer the most comfortable ride for your child. The drawback is that the additional wheels are a burden on the car boot. Some models of pushchairs with large front wheels must be removed in order to store them flat. All-terrain strollers come with features like large puncture-proof tires and sturdy suspension to allow them to withstand everything from busy high-street strolls to woodland hikes. These models are usually more expensive, but if your pushchair is frequently used outside of the main roads often, they could be worth the cost. It is recommended to select a pushchair equipped with pneumatic (or air-filled) tyres if you plan on taking it off roads. They are better suited for rough terrain than solid rubber tyres. These tyres are also less likely to break than ones made of steel or hard plastic. Some pushchairs allow you to remove the front wheel when not in use. This makes them easier for you to store, particularly if you only have a small boot. Certain models come with an front wheel that can be locked in place to give you extra stability when on rough terrain. If you're considering buying a pushchair with this feature, it's worth seeing how easy it is to operate before you buy. If you're considering adding an additional seat, parent-facing unit, or car seat adaptors to your pushchair it is important to determine how it's going to be easy to change these elements and fold or unfold the pushchair with the attached items, particularly as you might have to do this with a baby on board. Some models are designed to be simple and quick to switch between these types of configurations, whereas others may require more patience. Manoeuvrability A 3-wheel pushchair can be easier to steer and maneuver than a 4-wheeler, with the single wheel in front making it simple to navigate over bumps or rough terrain. A lot of models have suspension systems that absorb shocks and give your baby a smooth ride. MFM reviewer Kath tested a three-wheeled buggy to the test and was impressed with the ease with which it negotiated bumpy roads, cobbles and dirt tracks. She was able to climb up and down kerbs and the wheels were quick to negotiate grass. There are three primary types of 3 wheel pushchair such as joggers, strollers and all-terrain models. Strollers have smaller wheels and narrower frames that are more for urban environments, while Joggers are fitted with big wheels and are specifically designed to be used off-road. They usually come with a handbrake as well as adjustable handlebars. They are ideal for off-road walks. All-terrain strollers are popular among parents who like to explore the countryside and take advantage of the outdoors. They usually have larger, more durable wheels than standard pushchairs. They're ideal for rough terrain and can usually be used from birth, however you may need to purchase car seat adaptors if are looking to connect a compatible infant carrier. Some pushchairs look like 3-wheelers, but they have four wheels. Two wheels are positioned close in front instead of the traditional central pair. This allows for the maneuverability of a three-wheeler, but the stability and security of a four wheeler. Some 3-wheeled pushchairs come with a lockable and swivelable front wheel, which makes them more mobile. This is particularly useful if you encounter difficult surfaces frequently, since you can avoid getting stuck or encountering obstacles to negotiate. Certain all-terrain pushchairs come fitted with foam-filled 'never flat' tyres that don't require pumping, which means they're more comfortable and convenient for long walks or frequent use. These types of pushchairs are generally heavier and bulkier than other models. It is essential to consider the way you'll transport them or store them when you choose the best model. Weight Generally speaking 3-wheel pushchairs tend to be heavier and more spacious than standard pushchairs, particularly when they come with large back wheels. It can be difficult to lift a pushchair while it is folded, for instance when it is loaded into the car's boot or when navigating the stairs. This may also make the pushchair feel bulky when out and about, and could restrict the speed at which you can navigate narrow spaces or aisles in stores. All-terrain pushchairs are built to be able to navigate different terrains, including rough and uneven ground such as gravel and mud paths. These pushchairs are equipped with large, puncture-proof tires and an extremely sturdy suspension that will provide a comfortable ride for the child. They are typically expensive when compared with regular pushchairs. If you reside in the countryside, or frequently take your baby to walks in the woods or country parks A pushchair that is all-terrain could be the best option. 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 will often be a good option for wet and muddy conditions, but we suggest inspecting the tyres frequently to avoid flat spots and air bubbles. The iCandy Core is a great all-terrain stroller that checks off many of the boxes. It comes with a large 10kg basket with a one-handed fold as well as an adjustable handlebar. Its large tyres feature foam-filled tyres that will never flat. It isn't necessary to worry about punctures. The seat is suitable for use from birth and is suitable for all different ages. It can also be used in conjunction with a carrycot and a compatible infant carrier. Another alternative is the Special Tomato Jogger, which is lightweight and has excellent manoeuvrability. It's a great option for parents who love to take walks or jogs with their child, and it is equipped with 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 on a 3-wheeled pushchair are often larger than those on a four-wheeled pram. This can help it to cope with off-road terrain. For instance the UPPAbaby Ridge comes with large, foam-filled 'never flat' tyres and a suspension system that make it ideal for long walks and rough terrain. It is also designed to be suitable to run after your child has grown old enough. This is due to a 360-degree lockable front wheel and an adjustable suspension. You should consider the weight of your pushchair before deciding on the model. You'll also have to decide if you want wheels that can be removed so that it is more easily stored in your car boot. MFM reviewer Becky particularly enjoyed this feature as it made maneuvering around supermarket corners much easier.
