3 Wheel Pushchairs
Whether you’re an avid jogger or simply looking for an easier stroller 3 wheel pushchairs offer it all. Three-wheel prams, with air-filled tires instead of the big wheels commonly used on jogging buggies that are designed for roads that are paved are able to navigate woodland trails and cobbled streets.
Large wheels, however, can make certain models heavy and bulky so check that it folds up compactly and won’t take up all the space in your boot.
Stability
Parents are often frightened by stories about three-wheel pushchairs that tip over. But this is usually due to cheap or poorly built models. When choosing a 3-wheeler, it is essential to determine the stability of the buggy by testing it out in the person. You should also take into consideration how quickly you can change direction with the front wheel and how easy it is to do so.
If you’re planning to use your pushchair off-road, go for a design with air-filled tyres (sometimes called pneumatic tyres) that can cope with rough terrain. These tyres can take the bumps and bumps of muddy pathways or gravel tracks far better than plastic wheels that have been moulded that give your child an enjoyable ride. 3 wheeled pushchair have a lockable wheel on the front, which can be used on rough terrain.

You may want to consider the amount of space they’ll take up in the boot of your car and if you’ll be capable to lift them up and down stairs once folded. They can also be heavy to lift and carry, so try the one on your own to gauge how much effort you’ll have to put in to get the buggy off the ground.
UPPAbaby’s Ridge, a three-wheeled pram with a car-seat attachment, is a good example of a stable, manoeuvrable pram. It features a front-facing seat that can be connected to an UPPAbaby carrycot or you can also add infant car seats by using adaptors. Its large rear wheels have the ‘never-flat’ tyres filled with foam that make it easy to maneuver through rough terrain. The smooth suspension and adjustable handlebar ensure that your child will be at ease.
Manoeuvrability
Three-wheeled strollers are easier to maneuver and turn than four-wheeled strollers because they have two wheels in the back and one wheel in the front. They are great for narrow streets and maneuvering through crowded supermarket aisles. A lot of 3-wheeled pushchairs have an option to lock the front wheel, which can improve their ability to tackle tight corners and spaces.
