The Benefits and Drawbacks of a 3 Wheeled Pushchair

A three-wheeled buggy is ideal for those who regularly walk on uneven terrain or jog. They are the best option to use if you require an automobile that can handle any terrain from busy roads to forest tracks.

Look for designs with front wheels that can be locked or turned. This will give you more flexibility. The rear and front wheels that are bigger offer the most comfortable ride on different surfaces.

Manoeuvrability

A 3 wheel pushchair is a fantastic option for those looking to be able to move effortlessly. The wheels are positioned close which allows the chassis to turn and turn more easily than a 4 wheel pushchair. This makes them perfect for busy streets and shops. Some models have smaller front wheels that are swivelled and locked for extra maneuverability. The Roma Atlas has two wheels at the front, which are placed close together, and a smart lock that allows it to be as solid as a 3-wheeler while still allowing for the same maneuverability.

Many of our best-selling 3 wheelers are also 4-in-1 travel systems that can convert from stroller to pram to toddler seat and car seat carrier as your child grows. This is ideal for those who intend to travel together as a family, or take frequent trips to the store. One example is the Baby Jogger Nipper pushchair that features Hauck's XL air wheels, a 360 swivel front wheel that locks and a suspension system that allows it to be used on all terrains, including off-road and jogging once your baby is old enough to join in with you!

Another good choice 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 adventures and smooth city pavements. It's suitable for use from birth (in the reversible seat unit or with a compatible carrycot) and features a handy one-handed instant fold for storage in the boot and airport travel.

It's important to choose the right wheels for a pushchair depending on where it will be used most. Moulded wheels are fine for city use but will not perform well on more rough terrain. If you plan on taking your pushchair off paved surfaces, opt for air-filled tyres, sometimes known as pneumatic tyres, which are able to cope with rough terrain.

If you're looking for a pushchair built to be able to handle both urban and rural environments take a look at our top-rated Bugaboo Fox Five All-Terrain pushchair. It comes with all the suspension and big wheels you'd expect from an all-terrain pushchair but it's also an urban pushchair that's super lightweight with an adjustable front wheel lockable.

Stability

You can improve the stability of your buggy by looking for specific features. Certain models come with a swiveling front wheel that can be locked to provide extra stability on rough terrain. This is particularly helpful for those who will use your pushchair off-road, or for jogging as it will give you the confidence to walk on varying surfaces easily.


Another excellent stability feature is suspension. This can make your buggy far more comfortable for both baby and parents, especially on uneven ground. Some brands even offer the option to swap out different tyres so that you can alter the performance of your pushchair to the terrain you will be taking it on.

If you're looking for a 3 wheeled pushchair that can be used on any terrain, you should consider purchasing a model with air-filled tyres. These wheels will offer a smoother ride over bumps, and are less likely to break than solid wheels. These wheels will allow you to use your buggy on unpaved surfaces and can be used on a variety of surfaces such as grass as well as sand and mud.

All-terrain pushchairs can be slightly wider than standard pushchairs but there are plenty of fantastic options that don't compromise maneuverability or stability. One of our top picks, the UPPAbaby Ridge, has numerous remarkable features that allow it to be used for off-road walking and jogging when your child reaches the appropriate age. This includes large, foam-filled never-flat tyres with adjustable suspension, as well as the ability to fold with one hand.

Another great all-terrain pushchair model is the Bugaboo Fox 5 - this features the same all-terrain capabilities as the UPPAbaby Ridge. It has great suspension, large puncture-proof tyres and an easy fold. It's also compatible with a broad selection of car seats and is able to accommodate an infant carrier or carrycot as well. It is a bit heavier than other 3-wheelers but is still an excellent option for parents looking to take their pushchair on all types of terrain.

Weight

The downside of strollers with three wheels is that they're heavy, especially when you are required to traverse bumpy terrain and kerbs. The larger rear wheels of a 3-wheeler increase the overall weight, which is higher than the 4-wheeler. This means you'll need more strength to lift them.

If you need an infant stroller that can withstand rough terrain and tarmac that is rocky, an all-terrain model could be worth considering. They typically have features, like a robust suspensions and large puncture-proof tyres. Manufacturers are increasingly creating all-terrain strollers equipped with tyres which are filled with gel or foam to stop them from becoming flat.

UPPAbaby's Ridge all-terrain stroller offers an array of features that are parent-friendly and can help you navigate different terrains easily. The Ridge all-terrain pushchair is equipped with many features for parents, including the ability to lock the front wheel, a simple fold with one hand, a large basket, and adjustable handlebar. MFM reviewer Becky said that the Ridge is "very good for walking in the woods, gravel roads and market town cobbles".

iCandy is another brand that offers a selection of all terrain pushchairs. The Core, their most recent all-terrain pushchair, is suitable for infants from birth. It can be adapted to a car seat or a carrycot. The iCandy Core has a host of features that will make it a great all-terrain pushchair - including large foam-filled tyres that never flatten and an excellent suspension system. The Core is heavier than other strollers for all-terrain use yet light enough to be able to move in rough terrain.

Folding

If you're looking for a pushchair that can handle the most difficult of terrain, then you may want to consider an all-terrain model. This type of pushchair has large wheels on both the front and back to make it easier to navigate rough off-road terrain. They'll typically have more durable suspension and larger puncture-resistant tyres to avoid them getting blocked by sticks, grass or mud.

The Mountain Buggy Ridge is a excellent example of a pushchair similar to this. This all-terrain pushchair has a number of impressive features, including smooth suspension, spacious basket, one-handed steering, and a quick one-handed folding. It is also compatible with a car seat and a carrycot (with adaptors) and can be used from as early as six months.

It also has the option of locking the front wheel as well as tyres that are filled with foam and never flat so you don't have to worry about punctures on rough terrain.

Finally, the GB Maris is a new attractive all-terrain pushchair that was recently launched at the Kind + Jugend trade fair.
