The Benefits and Drawbacks of a 3 Wheeled Pushchair

If you frequently walk on rough terrain, or want to run in a pushchair with three wheels, it's the best option. They are the best option to use if you require a buggy to handle any terrain, from busy roads to forest tracks.

For more manoeuvrability, look for a design with swivelling or lockable front wheels. The rear and front wheels that are bigger give you an easier ride on various surfaces.

Manoeuvrability

Manoeuvrability is one of the main advantages of a 3 wheel pushchair. The wheels are placed close to each other, allowing the chassis to rotate and turn more easily than a standard four wheel pushchair. This makes them ideal for busy streets and shopping. Some even have a pair of front wheels that can be locked and swivelled to provide extra manoeuvrability when needed. The Roma Atlas, for example is equipped with two wheels that are positioned close together in front, and a clever lock that can swivel to give the flexibility of a 3-wheeler with added stability.
