The Benefits and Drawbacks of a 3 Wheeled Pushchair

A three wheeler pushchair-wheeled pushchair is perfect for those who walk a lot on uneven terrain or jog. These are the best for those who need a pushchair that can tackle any terrain, from busy roads to forest tracks.

Look for models with front wheels that can be locked or turned. This will allow you more flexibility. The rear and front wheels that are larger also provide an easier ride on different surfaces.

Manoeuvrability

Manoeuvrability is one of the main advantages of a 3 wheel stroller set wheel pushchair. The wheels are close together which allows the chassis to turn and twist more easily than a 4 wheel pushchair. This makes them perfect for busy shops and streets. Some models have smaller front wheels that are locked and swivelled for additional maneuverability. The Roma Atlas, for example is equipped with two wheels that are positioned close together in front, and an ingenious lock that swivels to give it all the maneuverability of three wheels, with added stability.

Many of our best-selling 3 wheel travel system wheelers are also 4-in-1 travel systems which can convert from stroller to pram to toddler seat and car seat carrier as your child grows. This is a great option if you're planning on travelling with your family or taking frequent trips to the shops. The Baby Jogger Nipper is a excellent example. It features Hauck airwheels XL and a 360-degree lockable swivel wheel and a suspension that allows it to be used on all terrains.

Choosing the right wheels for your pushchair is essential dependent on the location you'll be using it most. Moulded wheels are fine for city use but will not do well on rougher ground.

Stability

You can improve the stability of your vehicle by searching for certain features. For instance, certain models feature a swivelling front wheel that can lock in place for extra stability on rough terrain. This can be especially useful when you're planning to use your pushchair off-road or running as it gives you the confidence to go any surface with ease.

Suspension is another good feature for stability. It can make your buggy more comfortable to ride, both for you and your baby especially on uneven terrain. Some brands offer the option to alter the tyres of their pushchairs to tailor it to the terrain you will be using it on.

If you're in the market for a three-wheeled pushchair that can be used on any terrain, think about purchasing a model with air-filled tyres.

Weight

The larger rear wheels of a 3 wheeler stroller-wheeler add to the overall weight, which is heavier than the 4-wheeler. This means you will need more strength when lifting them.
