3 Wheel Pushchairs

Whether you’re an avid jogger or simply looking for a stroller that is more flexible 3 wheel pushchairs offer everything. Three-wheel prams, with air-filled tires instead of the big wheels commonly used on jogging buggies made for roads with paved surfaces, can be used to navigate through woodland trails and cobbled streets.

Large wheels, however, can make certain models heavy and bulky therefore make sure that it folds up compactly and won’t take up all the space in your boot.

Stability

Many parents are turned off by three-wheel pushchairs due to stories of them falling over – however, this is usually due to poor or shoddy models. When choosing a 3-wheeler, it is important to check how stable the buggy feels by trying it out in the person. It is also important to consider how it is simple to shift direction or swerve with the front wheel only, and how quick it can be done.

If you plan to use your pushchair on rough terrain, choose an option with tires filled with air (also called pneumatic tyres). They can handle the bumps and lumps that come with gravel tracks or muddy paths. These tyres are more resilient to bumps and sand on muddy or gravel roads than plastic wheels. They offer a smoother ride for your baby. Some models have a lockable front wheel that can be used when riding on rough terrain too.

All-terrain pushchairs tend to be heavier than standard four-wheeled buggies which is why you’ll have to think about how much space they’ll take up in your car’s boot, and if you’ll be capable of lifting it up and down the stairs when folded. They can also be heavy to lift, so it’s worth trying one out in person to see how much effort you need to put in to get the buggy off the ground.

UPPAbaby’s Ridge, a three-wheeled pram that has a car seat attachment, is a good example of a stable and maneuverable pram.

The large rear wheels feature ‘never-flat’ foam-filled tyres which make it simple to maneuver through rough terrain. The smooth suspension and adjustable handlebar also ensure that your toddler or baby will be at ease.

They are perfect for navigating narrow city streets and crowded supermarket aisles.
