The Benefits and Drawbacks of a 3 Wheeled Pushchair

If you frequently walk on rough terrain, or wish to run, a three-wheel pushchair is the best option. They are a great option if want a buggy that will take on any terrain, from busy high streets to woodland tracks.

To make your ride more maneuverable, look for a design with locking or swivelling front wheels. Larger wheels on the front and back also offer an easier ride on different surfaces.

Manoeuvrability

A 3 wheel pushchair is a fantastic option for those looking to be able to maneuver easily. The wheels are close and allow the chassis to turn and twist more easily than a 4 wheel pushchair. This makes them suitable for busy shops and streets. Some models even have a pair of front wheels that can be locked and swivelled for extra maneuverability when needed. The Roma Atlas has two wheels in the front positioned close together and a smart lock that allows it to be as solid as a 3-wheeler while still having the same maneuverability.

Many of our most loved 3 wheelers can be converted from pram, stroller or car seat, and toddler seat as your child grows. This is ideal when you're planning to travel with your family or taking frequent shopping trips. The Baby Jogger Nipper is a excellent example. It features Hauck airwheels that are XL and a 360-degree lockable swivel wheel, and a suspension that allows it to be used on any terrain.

Another great option is the ickle bubba Nipper which is an all-terrain pushchair with a great suspension and huge puncture-proof tyres, which make it suitable for off-roading as well as smooth city pavements. It's suitable from birth (in the seat unit that is reversible or with a compatible carrycot) and has a handy one-handed fold that is ideal to store your boot and for airport travel.

The wheels you choose for your pushchair is important dependent on the location you'll be using it most. Moulded wheels work well in the city, but not on more rugged terrain. If you plan on taking your pushchair off of pavements you should choose tyres that are filled with air also known as pneumatic tyres, which are able to cope with rough terrain.

Stability

You can improve the stability of your buggy by looking for certain features. Some designs have an swiveling front wheel that can be locked in place to provide additional stability when driving when riding on rough terrain. This can be particularly useful for those who will use your pushchair off-road, or for running as it gives you the confidence to walk off on different surfaces without difficulty.

Suspension is a great feature to ensure stability. It will make your pushchair more comfortable to ride, for both your child and you especially on uneven terrain. Some brands provide the option of swapping out tyres with different sizes to allow you to tailor the performance of your pushchair to the type of terrain you will be riding it on.

If you're in the market for a 3-wheeled pushchair that will perform well on any terrain, think about purchasing a model with air-filled tyres.

Weight

The drawback of 3 wheeled pushchairs is that they can be heavy, especially when you're navigating bumpy ground and kerbs. The larger rear wheels of a 3-wheeler contribute to the overall weight, which is higher than the 4-wheeler. This means that you will need more strength to lift them.
