Guide To 3 Wheeled Pushchair: The Intermediate Guide To 3 Wheeled Pushchair
The Benefits and Drawbacks of a 3 Wheeled Pushchair
A three-wheeled buggy is ideal for those who walk a lot on uneven terrain or jog. They are great if you want a buggy that will take on any terrain, from busy high streets to tracks in the woods.
Look for models with front wheels that can be locked or swivelled. This gives you more flexibility. The rear and front wheels that are bigger give you an easier riding on different surfaces.
Manoeuvrability
A best 3 wheel buggy-wheel pushchair is a fantastic option for those who wish to move easily. The wheels are close together and allow the chassis to turn and twist more easily than a 4 wheel pushchair. This makes them suitable for busy shops and streets. Some even have a pair of front wheels that can be locked and swivelled to provide additional maneuverability when required. The Roma Atlas, for example, has two wheels positioned closely together at the front, and an ingenious swivel lock that gives the ability to maneuver like a 3 wheel pushchair sale-wheeler, but with added stability.
Many of our most popular 3 wheelers can be converted from pram, stroller or car-seat and toddler seats as your child develops. This is great when you are planning to travel as a family, or make frequent trips to the store. The Baby Jogger Nipper is a great example. It features Hauck airwheels that are XL and a 360-degree lockable swivel wheel, and a suspension that allows it to be used on any terrain.
Another option is the ickle bubba Nipper which is an all-terrain pushchair with great suspension and large puncture-proof tyres that allow it to be used for off-roading 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 be able to handle rougher terrain. If you intend to move your pushchair off roads, you should consider pneumatic tyres. They can withstand rough terrain.

Stability
There are a number of features you can check for that will increase the stability of your buggy. Some designs have a swiveling front wheel that can be locked to give extra stability on rough terrain. This is especially helpful for those who plan to use your pushchair for jogging or off-road. It will give you confidence to navigate on different surfaces.
Suspension is another good feature to ensure stability. It makes your buggy more comfortable to ride, for both your child and you especially on rough terrain. Certain brands allow you to change the tyres on their pushchairs to tailor it to the terrain you'll be using it on.
You should consider investing in a three-wheeled pushchair that has air-filled tires for an infant stroller that can take on any terrain.

Weight
The drawback of 3 wheeled pushchairs is that they can be heavy, especially when you're dealing with bumpy surfaces and kerbs.
