3 Wheel Pushchairs

Three wheel pushchairs are perfect for anyone who is an avid jogger or would like a more versatile stroller. Contrary to jogging buggies that typically have large wheels specifically made for pavements tricycles equipped with air-filled tyres are able to tackle markets and woodland walks cobbles with ease.

Having large wheels, however, could make some models heavy and bulky make sure it folds compactly and won't take up all your boot space.

Stability

Parents are often frightened by the stories of three-wheel pushchairs tipping over. However, this is typically because of poor or poorly built models. It is essential to test the stability of a 3-wheeler by putting it to the test physically. You should also think about how fast you can change direction with the single front-wheel and how easily it can be done.

If you're planning to use your pushchair off-road, opt for a model that has air-filled tyres (sometimes called pneumatic tyres) which can withstand rough terrain. These tyres are more resilient to bumps and lumps on muddy paths or gravel roads than plastic wheels. They provide a smoother ride for your child. Some models come with the option of locking the front wheel, which can be used when you're riding on rough terrain too.

All-terrain buggies can be heavier than typical buggies that have four wheels. You might want to think about the space they'll take up in the trunk of your car and if you'll be able to carry them up and down stairs once folded. It can be a challenge to lift them, which is why you should test them in person to see how heavy they are.

UPPAbaby's Ridge is an example of a tri-wheel pram that is stable, manoeuvrable and suitable for off-roading with an attachment for a car seat. It has a world-facing seat that can be attached to an UPPAbaby Carycot or infant car seats that can be added by using adaptors. The large rear wheels feature 'never-flat' foam-filled tyres, which make it easy to navigate rough terrain.
