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 if you need a buggy to handle any terrain from busy streets to forest tracks.

For greater maneuverability, opt for a design with locking or swivelling front wheels. The rear and front wheels that are bigger provide the most comfortable ride on different surfaces.

Manoeuvrability

A 3 wheel pushchair is a fantastic option for those looking to move easily. The wheels are positioned close together allowing the chassis to rotate and turn much more easily than a traditional 4 wheel pushchair, making them perfect for busy streets and shopping. Some models have smaller front wheels that are locked and swivelled to give them extra maneuverability. The Roma Atlas, for example is equipped with two wheels that are positioned closely together at the front, and an ingenious swivel lock that gives it all the maneuverability of a 3-wheeler with added stability.

A lot of our top-selling 3 wheelers come with a 4-in-1 travel systems that change from stroller to toddler seat and car seat carrier as your child grows.

The wheels you choose for your pushchair is crucial dependent on the location you'll be using it the most. Moulded wheels are fine for urban use, but they won't do well on rougher ground.
