Why We Do We Love 3 Wheeled Pushchair (And You Should Too!)

They are a great option if require a vehicle that can handle all types of terrain from busy high streets to tracks in the woods. For more manoeuvrability, look for a model with locks or swivelling front wheels. The rear and front wheels that are larger also offer the most comfortable riding on different surfaces. Manoeuvrability Manoeuvrability is a main advantages of a 3 wheel pushchair . The wheels are positioned close together allowing the chassis to rotate and turn much more easily than a conventional four wheel pushchair, making them perfect for busy streets and shopping. Some models even have a pair of front wheels that can be locked and swivelled to provide additional maneuverability when required. The Roma Atlas has two wheels at the front, which are positioned close together and a smart lock that allows it to be as solid as a 3-wheeler while maintaining the same maneuverability. Many of our most loved 3 wheelers can be converted from stroller, pram, toddler seat and car-seat carrier as your child develops. This is ideal when you intend to travel together as a family or make frequent trips to the shop. The Baby Jogger Nipper is a excellent example. It features Hauck XL airwheels, a 360-degree swivel lockable wheel, and a suspension which allows it to be used on any terrain.

Stability There are a number of options to look out for that will enhance the stability of your buggy. For instance, some models have a swivelling front wheel that can lock in place for extra stability on rough terrain. This can be particularly useful for those who will be using your pushchair off-road, or for running as it gives you the confidence to go any surface without difficulty. Suspension is a great feature to ensure stability. It will make your buggy more comfortable to ride, for both your child and you especially on uneven terrain.

These wheels will offer smoother rides over bumps and are less likely to puncture than solid wheels. They will also allow you to ride on tracks that are not paved and will carry your buggy on different surfaces like grass, sand, and mud.

Weight The disadvantage of strollers with 3 wheels is that they can be heavy, especially if you have to navigate bumpy terrain and kerbs.
