Three Wheel Pushchairs – Why You Should Consider One
Whether you’re a fitness fanatic seeking a jogging stroller or a parent who wants an all-purpose stroller, three wheel pushchairs offer many possibilities. Here’s the reason you should consider one.
If you intend to use your stroller in both rural and urban environments, choose a model that has pneumatic tyres. These will perform better on non-paved roads.
It’s easy to maneuver
Three-wheel pushchairs are easily maneuvered, whether you’re on a country path or in a city. They have one large front wheel and a single handlebar, making them more maneuverable than four-wheeled models. The wheels are usually larger and have more suspension, allowing for an easier ride on rough terrain. Some three-wheeled pushchairs come with a handbrake that can be operated by two fingers. This can help you slow down on steep slopes.
If you’re looking for a vehicle that can be used in both urban and rural conditions, consider a model with air-filled (or pneumatic) tyres. They are more suited to off-paved tracks and can go over mud, sand and rock without a problem. The most durable all-terrain pushchairs have a swivelling frontwheel that can be locked to give stability over really rough terrain.
You should also ensure whether your buggy is suitable for newborns and infants – some come with a lie-flat seat that can be used from birth, while others will only be suitable for children aged six to six months old. It’s also worth checking compatibility with second-seats bugsie boards, buggies and car seats, which might be required when you have more than one child to carry.
A lot of three-wheeled pushchairs are light and easy to fold up and put in your vehicle’s boot. However, the large rear wheels on these models can make them quite wide when opened, and you may require extra care when navigating narrow streets or aisles in stores. If you’re worried about this, look for a model with a quick-release front wheel that can reduce the size of storage. This feature is offered on a few UPPAbaby strollers, as well as other all-terrain models. This is especially important if you intend to use the pushchair on public transport or in tiny car booties.
Off-road vehicles are specially designed for them
If you love a walk up the farm track or you spend a lot of time walking on rough field and rutted paths A three-wheel pushchair might be just the ticket. These sturdy pushchairs were built with off-road capability in mind. They are ideal for walks in the woods and on beaches and country paths. These pushchairs with rugged design are ideal for rough terrain. They feature features like locking wheels and never-flat tyres stuffed with foam, and a true suspension. These strollers can be used to jog once your child is old enough.
A majority of these pushchairs off-road come with a parent-facing option. This is perfect to keep an eye on your child, or calming them if they’re exhausted or worried. They are suitable for infants and toddlers and come in a variety of sizes to suit different age groups and adults. Some are equipped with additional features, such as riding on a board. This is ideal for children who are not yet walking but still want to be part of the family fun.
Other all-terrain pushchairs feature an exclusive ‘Swivel-toGo’ system, which allows the user to swivel the main wheels around while maintaining an unmovable front wheel. This makes them more stable on uneven terrain and makes them easier to maneuver in tight spaces. They’re also a good choice when you reside in an area that is hilly, as the extra handbrake that’s on the handle can aid in slowing down steep descents.
Some pushchairs are able to rotate their rear wheels, which can be useful when you’re on uneven surfaces. However, the drawback to this is that they’ll require a larger footprint, which can be difficult for certain cars to fit them in.
All-terrain pushchairs are expensive, but if you use them often they’re worth it as they’ll last longer than an ordinary pushchair and will be capable of handling any terrain. They’re also super-smart, and they look great. The brand new iCandy Core, for example is packed with clever features such as a spacious basket with zip-up lid, fold with one hand and three recline positions, making it suitable from birth it is used in conjunction with an iCandy carrycot or infant car seat adapters.
It’s easy to fold them
Three-wheeled pushchairs are typically lighter and smaller than standard pushchairs. They are also easier to maneuver which makes them ideal for urban environments, where they can easily navigate pavements and paved tracks. It is important to remember that the wheels of three-wheeled pushchairs aren’t designed to handle rough terrain, and are susceptible to punctures if they are not constructed with good quality materials. It is therefore important to choose a model with an swivelling front wheel as well as air-filled tyres that can withstand bumps and uneven surfaces.
It is also important to consider how far you intend to travel with your child in a three-wheeled buggy. If you plan to travel long distances, choose a larger chassis and a robust suspension to ensure your baby can be comfortable throughout the journey. If you want to use your three-wheel pushchair with an infant seat, be sure to determine whether it can be used in a lie-flat option or can be adapted for car seats and carry cots. Also, make sure that your three-wheel pushchair is able to fold easily and can be tucked away in a car boot or other storage space.
Many companies offer all-terrain strollers which can be easily folded. For instance the Bugaboo Fox 5 has a simple one-handed fold operation and can be flattened with the press of a button which makes it a perfect option for families who want to explore the world with their children. It also has a set of impressive features for all-terrain, including an enormous wheel and suspension which allows for a smooth, agile movement.
Another option is the GB Maris, which was unveiled at the Kind + Jugend trade fair this year and has a unique frame that can be adjusted to suit different users. It is suitable for babies as young as birth. The seat can be used with a Baby Carrycot from UPPA or an Infant Carrier. 3 wheeled pushchair has foam-filled never-flat tires and an easy-locking front wheel that locks in the closed position to ensure security on rough terrain.
It’s easy to clean
Three-wheel buggies are less difficult to clean and maintain than pushchairs with four wheels, which can topple on bumpy surfaces. They can also be used for off-road walking. They typically come with a simple, single handlebar and have swivelling front wheels which can be locked to help deal with rough terrain. A lot of them have adjustable suspensions to aid them in their performance on various surfaces.
Pick a model with air-filled tires if you intend to take your buggy off-road. They can deal with most terrains and will let you cross grass, rocks as well as sand and mud without getting stuck. Look for tyres with no punctures.
You should also think about how it is simple to fold and unfold your buggy, particularly if you are testing it out while a child is riding in it. If you’re taking public transportation, you’ll need ensure that it fits in the boot of your car. Certain models can be folded by hand, which is ideal for those who travel alone or with a child.
Certain brands have created specific pushchairs for all-terrain use, which are ideal for off-road or urban use. The TFK Joggster Twist is an excellent example, and it’s suitable for up to 15kg. The disc brake is effective and can be used with children from the age of two.
Other all-terrain strollers include Baby Jogger Versa GT or Easywalker June. Both of these are more expensive but provide superb value for money. The Stella by Maxi Cosi is a luxury option with a sleek metallic frame, swivelling wheels that can be locked to make it easy to change direction and rotate 360 degrees. It’s also compatible with a carrycot as well as an infant carrier.
