3 Wheeled Pushchairs

Three-wheeled pushchairs can be an ideal option for mothers who love walking on a variety of terrain. These buggies are much easier to maneuver and are more sturdy on rough terrain since they have larger front wheels.

If you plan to drive your buggy off of paved tracks, opt for a model that has air-filled tyres (sometimes called pneumatic). They are much more effective on non-paved surfaces, and are puncture-proof too.

Stability

The bigger the wheels of your pushchair are the better they are able to be able to handle rough terrain and even the ground. It's because larger wheels are more likely to'skid over bumps and dips. They also offer a more comfortable ride to your child. The downside is that the extra wheels can take up space in your car's boot, and certain models of pushchairs with large front wheels may require to remove them when you wish to keep it in a flat place.

All-terrain strollers are equipped with features like large puncture-proof tires as well as a robust suspensions that allow them to handle everything from busy high-street strolls to hikes in the woods. These types are typically more expensive but if your child's pushchair is used off the beaten path often, they could be worth the cost.

If you plan to remove your pushchair from roads, it's worth choosing one that has tyres filled with air (sometimes called pneumatic tyres) as these are much more suitable for rough ground than solid rubber ones. These tyres are also less likely to puncture than those made of metal or plastic.

Some pushchairs allow you to remove the front wheel when they are not in use. This can make them easier for you to store, particularly when you have the space for a small boot. Certain models come with a front wheel that can be locked into place to give you extra stability on rough terrain. If you're considering buying a pushchair with this feature, it's worth seeing how it's operated before you purchase.

It's important to consider how easy it will make it to add another seat or parent-facing pushchair to your. This is especially true if you have a baby with you. Some models are designed to be fast and simple to change between these types of configurations, whereas others might require more patience.

Manoeuvrability

A 3-wheel pushchair is typically more maneuverable and manage than a 4-wheeler, due to the single wheel on the front making it easy to navigate over rough terrain or bumps. Many models also come with suspension systems that are designed to help absorb shocks and provide an easy ride for your child. MFM's Kath tested a three-wheeled buggie and was awed by how well it handled uneven pavements, cobblestones, and dirt tracks. Kath was able to climb over and down kerbs and the wheels were fast to navigate grass.

There are three kinds of 3 wheeled pushchairs namely strollers (also called Joggers) models that are all-terrain, and all-terrain models. Strollers are ideal for urban environments with their smaller frames and narrower wheels, while joggers have larger wheels and are designed to be used off-road.

Some pushchairs look like 3-wheelers, but actually come with four wheels, with two small wheels that are close to each other in front, instead of a traditional central pair. This allows for the maneuverability of a three-wheeler, but the stability and security of a four-wheeler.

Some 3-wheeled pushchairs have an swivelable and lockable front wheel that makes them more maneuverable. This is particularly useful if you encounter difficult surfaces often, as you will avoid getting stuck or encountering obstacles to negotiate. Certain all-terrain pushchairs come fitted with foam-filled 'never flat' tyres that don't need pumping up, so they're more comfortable and convenient for long walks or frequent use. It's important to note that these kinds of pushchairs tend to be heavier and bigger than other pushchairs which is why it's essential to consider the method you'll use for transporting them or storing them when choosing the model you want to use.

Weight

In general 3-wheeled pushchairs tend to be heavier and larger than standard pushchairs. This is especially the case when they have large back wheels. This makes it difficult to lift the pushchair once folded, like when loading it into the car boot or climbing steps. This makes the pushchair feel heavy and hinder your ability to maneuver through narrow spaces or aisles.

All-terrain strollers are designed to be used on different terrains like uneven and rough ground as well as mud and gravel paths. They are fitted with large, puncture-proof tires. They also have strong suspensions to ensure an enjoyable ride for the child. They are typically costly compared to regular pushchairs.

If you reside in the countryside, or regularly take your baby for walks in woodland or country parks, an all-terrain pushchair could be the best option.

They will often be an ideal choice for muddy and wet weather as well, although we suggest regular inspection of the tyres to avoid flat spots and air bubbles.

The large tyres are filled with foam tyres that will never flat. You don't have to worry about punctures.

We also love how easy it is to clean, with the fabric simply removing from the frame and washing in cold water.

Tyres

The tyres on a 3-wheeled pushchair are usually larger than those of a 4-wheeled pram. This helps it to handle off-road terrain. For example, the UPPAbaby Ridge comes with large, foam-filled  tyres that are never flat and a suspension system that make it great for long walks and rough ground. It's also designed to be suitable for jogging once your baby is old enough thanks to a 360 locking swivel front wheel that can be locked and adjustable suspension.

You'll need to think about the weight of your pushchair when choosing a model.
