3 Wheeled Pushchairs

3 wheeled pushchairs can be a great option for mums who enjoy walking on varied terrain. The larger front wheels on these buggies allow them to be more maneuverable and offer greater stability on rough ground.

If you intend to take your buggy off of paved tracks, pick a model that is air-filled tyres (sometimes called pneumatic). They are more effective on surfaces that are not paved and are puncture-proof as well.

Stability

The bigger the wheels of your pushchair, the better they will be able to handle rough terrain and even the ground. This is because bigger wheels are more likely to'skid' on bumps and dips. They also offer a more comfortable ride to your child. The drawback is that the additional wheels can take up space in the car boot. Some models of pushchairs that have large front wheels will need to be removed in order to store them flat.

All-terrain pushchairs are built to be able to take on anything from high street strolls to woodland walks, and come equipped with features that enable them to accomplish this, including sturdy suspension and large puncture-proof tyres. They tend to be more expensive than other models, but if you regularly use your pushchair off the beaten track, they might be worth the extra expense.

If you intend to take your pushchair off paved surfaces, it's worth selecting a model that has tyres filled with air (sometimes called pneumatic tyres) since they are more suitable for rough ground than solid rubber ones. These tyres are also less likely to break than ones made of metal or hard plastic.

Some models of pushchair allow users to remove the front wheel when in use, making them easier to store - useful if you have an insufficient car boot. Certain models come with front wheels that can be locked in place to provide extra stability on rough terrain.

It is important to think about the ease with which you can make it to add another seat or parent-facing unit to your pushchair. This is especially important if you have a baby with you. Certain models are designed for rapid and simple configuration changes, while others require more patience.

Manoeuvrability

A 3-wheeled pushchair is easier to steer and handle than a 4-wheeler. The single wheel in the front allows you to easily navigate over bumps and rough terrain. A lot of models have suspension systems that absorb shocks and give your baby an easy ride. MFM reviewer Kath put a three wheel pushchairs-wheeled buggy to the test, and was impressed with the ease with which it negotiated bumpy roads, cobbles and dirt tracks. Kath found it easy to get up and down kerbs and the wheels were quick to maneuver over grass too.

There are three kinds of 3 wheeler pushchair wheeled pushchairs namely strollers (also known as Joggers) and models with all-terrain surfaces, and all-terrain models. Strollers are best suited to urban environments due to their smaller frames and narrower wheels while joggers come with large wheels and are designed to take you off-road. They come with a handbrake and adjustable handlebars and are perfect for off-road walks.

All-terrain pushchairs are a favorite for parents who wish to enjoy the outdoors and explore the countryside, and they usually come with larger and more durable wheels than standard pushchairs.

Some pushchairs look like 3-wheelers, but actually have four wheels, with two smaller wheels placed close to each other in front instead of the traditional central pair. This provides manoeuvrability with the stability of a four-wheeler.

Some 3-wheel pushchairs have a swivelling and lockable front wheel, making them even more maneuverable. This is especially useful if you encounter difficult surfaces often, as you will avoid getting stuck or encountering obstacles to negotiate. Certain all-terrain pushchairs come equipped with foam-filled 'never flat' tyres that do not need pumping up, so they're more convenient and comfortable for long walks or frequent use. It's important to note that these types of pushchairs tend to be heavier and bigger than other pushchairs which is why it's essential to consider how you'll be transporting or storing them when deciding on your preferred model.

Weight

In general 3 wheel all terrain buggy-wheeled pushchairs are generally heavier and more spacious than normal pushchairs. This is especially the case when they have big back wheels. It can be difficult to lift a pushchair while it is folded, like when loading into the boot of a car or when climbing the stairs. This could make the pushchair feel a little bulky when out and about, and could restrict the speed at which you can manoeuvre through small spaces or aisles in shops.

All-terrain pushchairs are made to handle a range of different terrains, including rough and uneven ground such as gravel and mud paths. They typically have large, puncture-proof tyres as well as an extremely sturdy suspension system to provide an enjoyable ride for your child. They are typically expensive compared to regular pushchairs.

These pushchairs are designed to be able to handle a variety of terrains, and will feature large tyres on the front and rear.

The iCandy Core is a great all-terrain stroller which ticks many of the boxes. It comes with a large basket that can hold up to 10kg, a single hand fold and adjustable handlebars. Its large tyres are foam-filled and never flat, which means you won't need to worry about punctures or losing air pressure. The seat can be used from birth and is suitable for all ages.

It's ideal for parents who like walking or running and has a suspension to ensure an enjoyable ride on all terrains. We also love how simple to clean it is by simply removing from the frame and being machine washable in cold water.

Tyres

The tyres on a 3 wheel all terrain buggy-wheel pushchair will typically be bigger than those on the 4-wheel model and can help navigate off-road terrain. The UPPAbaby Ridge, for example has tyres with large, foam-filled tyres that never flatten and suspension systems. This makes it ideal for long-distance walks on rough terrain. It's designed to be able to run when your child is old enough. This is due to a 360-degree lockable front wheel, and an adjustable suspension.

However, larger tyres can add weight to the pushchair, so you'll need to take this into consideration when deciding on the model. You'll also have to decide if you'd like wheels that can be removed so that it is easy to store in your car boot. MFM reviewer Becky particularly enjoyed this feature because it made manoeuvring around supermarket corners much simpler.
