The Benefits and Drawbacks of a 3 Wheeled Pushchair

A three-wheeled pushchair is perfect for those who walk a lot on rough terrain or jog. They are great if you need a buggy that can handle all types of terrain, from busy streets to woodland tracks.

Find models with front wheels that can be locked or turned. This gives you more flexibility. The rear and front wheels that are larger give you the most comfortable ride on various surfaces.

Manoeuvrability

A best 3 wheel stroller travel system wheel pushchair is a fantastic choice for those who want to be able to maneuver easily. The wheels are placed close together allowing the chassis to turn and twist much more easily than a conventional four wheel pushchair, making them ideal for busy streets and shopping. Some have small front wheels that can be locked and swivelled to give them extra maneuverability. The Roma Atlas, for example, has two wheels positioned closely together at the front and a clever lock that swivels to give the flexibility of a 3-wheeler, but with added stability.

A lot of our most well-loved 3 wheeler stroller wheelers can be transformed from pram, stroller or toddler seat and car-seat carrier as your child develops. This is great if you plan to travel as a family, or make frequent visits to the shops. The Baby Jogger Nipper is a great illustration. It has Hauck airwheels XL with a 360-degree locking swivel wheel, and a suspension that allows it to be used on all terrains.

Another great option is the ickle Bubba Nipper, a pushchair that is all-terrain with great suspension and large puncture-proof tyres, which make it suitable for off-road excursions as well as smooth city pavements.

It is essential to select the correct wheels for a pushchair depending on where it is most likely to be used. Moulded wheels are fine for city life but won't perform well on more rough terrain. If you intend to take your pushchair off paved surfaces you should choose tyres that are filled with air, sometimes known as pneumatic tyres that are capable of handling rough terrain.

Stability

You can increase the stability of your buggy by searching for specific features. Some designs have an swiveling front wheel that is locked to give extra stability when riding on rough terrain. This can be especially useful when you're planning to be using your pushchair off-road or jogging as it will give you the confidence to walk any surface easily.

Another excellent stability feature is suspension - this will make your baby's buggy more comfortable to ride in for both you and baby especially on uneven terrain. Some brands also allow you to swap out tyres of different brands to allow you to tailor the performance of your pushchair according to the type of terrain you will be taking it on.

Weight

The drawback of 3 wheeled strollers is that they are heavy, especially when you need to maneuver through rough terrain and kerbs.
