3 Wheeled Pushchairs 3 wheeled pushchair s can be a great option for mums who enjoy walking on varied terrain. These buggies are easier to maneuver and more stable on rough terrain because they have larger front wheels. If you intend to use your buggy on other surfaces than the paved ones, you should choose a model that has air-filled tires (also called pneumatic). They are more efficient and puncture-proof on surfaces that are not paved. Stability The larger the wheels on your pushchair is, the better it can deal with rough terrain and dirt. It's because larger wheels are more likely to skid' on bumps and dips. They also offer a more comfortable ride for your child. The disadvantage is that the additional wheels can take up space in your car boot, and some models of pushchairs with large front wheels may need to remove them if you want to put it away flat. All-terrain pushchairs are designed to handle anything from busy high-street strolls to woodland walks, and are fitted with features that enable them to accomplish this, including strong suspension and large puncture-proof tyres. 3 wheeler pushchair are usually more expensive however if your pushchair is frequently used outside of the main roads often, they could be worth the cost. It's better to choose a pushchair with pneumatic (or air-filled) tyres if you plan on taking it off roads. They are better suited for rough terrain than tyres made of solid rubber. They are also much less vulnerable to punctures than tyres which are made of metal or hard plastic. Some models of pushchair allow you to turn off the front wheel when not in use, making them easier to store – useful if you have a small car boot. Certain models also come with a swivelling front wheel that can be locked to give stability on very rough terrain. It is important to determine how easy it is for you to use a pushchair that has this feature prior to purchasing. If you're thinking about adding an additional seat, parent-facing unit, or car seat adaptors to your pushchair, it's important to know how it is easy to switch these components and fold/unfold the pushchair with them attached – especially as you may need to do this with a child on board. Some models are designed to be fast and simple to switch between these types of configurations, whereas others may require more patience. Manoeuvrability A pushchair with three wheels is easier to maneuver and steer than a 4-wheeler. The single wheel in the front allows for easy maneuvering over bumps and rough terrain. Many models come with suspension systems that absorb the shocks and give your child an easy ride. MFM's Kath tested a three-wheeled buggie and was amazed by its ability to handle uneven pavements, cobblestones and dirt tracks. Kath found it easy for her to climb up and down kerbs, and the wheels were quick to navigate grass. There are three types of 3 wheel pushchairs: strollers, joggers and all-terrain models. Strollers are best suited for urban environments with their smaller frames and narrower wheels, while joggers come with large wheels and are designed to be used off-road. They tend to have a handbrake and adjustable handlebars, and are great for tackling off-road trails. All-terrain strollers are popular with parents who love to explore the countryside and take advantage of the outdoors. They usually come with larger, more durable wheels than standard pushchairs. They're ideal for rough terrain and are typically used from birth, although you may need to purchase car seat adaptors if you need to attach an infant carrier. Some pushchairs appear to be 3-wheelers but are actually four wheels. Two small wheels are positioned close in front of the traditional central pair. This gives maneuverability and the stability of a four-wheeler. Some 3-wheeled pushchairs come with a lockable and swivelable front wheel, which makes them more mobile. This is especially beneficial if you regularly encounter difficult surfaces, as it can assist you in avoiding getting stuck or walking around obstacles. Some all-terrain strollers are equipped with foam-filled “never flat” tyres, which do not require pumping. This makes them more convenient and comfortable to use for long walks or for continuous use. These kinds of pushchairs are generally heavier and bulkier than other choices. It is crucial to take into consideration the way you'll transport them or store them when choosing the model you prefer. Weight In general 3-wheeled pushchairs tend to be larger and heavier than normal pushchairs. This is especially true when they have large back wheels. It can be a challenge to lift a pushchair once it is folded, like when it is loaded into the trunk of a car or navigating steps. This makes the pushchair feel heavy and restrict your ability to maneuver in narrow spaces or aisles. All-terrain strollers are designed to be used on a variety of terrains including rough and uneven ground such as mud, gravel, and paths. These pushchairs are equipped with large, puncture-proof tires and a sturdy suspension to provide an enjoyable ride for the child. They are typically much more expensive than normal pushchairs. If you live in the countryside or take your child regularly for walks in woodland or country parks A pushchair that is all-terrain could be a great choice. These pushchairs are made to handle different terrains and will feature large tyres on the front and rear. These pushchairs are usually a good option for muddy or wet weather However, we suggest making sure you check your tyres regularly to avoid air bubbles and flat spots. The iCandy Core, for example is a pushchair for all-terrain use that ticks a lot of boxes. It comes with a large basket that can carry up to 10kg, a single hand fold and adjustable handlebars. The large tyres are filled with foam and never flat, so you won't need to worry about punctures or losing air pressure. The seat can be used from birth and is suitable for all age groups. It can also be used in conjunction with a carrycot and a compatible infant carrier. The Special Tomato Jogger is another alternative. It is lightweight and highly mobile design. It's ideal for parents who enjoy taking walks or jogging and comes with suspension that ensures an enjoyable ride on all terrains. The fabric can be removed from the frame, and washed in cold water by machine. Tyres A 3-wheel pushchair's tyres will typically be bigger than those found on the 4-wheel model and can help deal with off-road terrain. The UPPAbaby Ridge for instance has tyres with large, foam-filled tyres that don't flatten, as well as suspension systems. This makes it suitable for long walks over rough terrain. It's also designed to be suitable for running when your baby is old enough due to a 360-degree locking swivel front wheel that can be locked and a suspension that can be adjusted. However, larger tyres could increase the overall weight of the pushchair. You'll have to consider this when deciding on the model. You'll also have to decide if you'd like wheels that can be removed so that it is more easily stored in your car boot. MFM reviewer Becky loved this feature as it made getting around the supermarket aisles easier.
