3 Wheeled Pushchairs

3 wheeled pushchairs are a ideal choice for mothers who love walking over varied terrain. These buggies are easier to maneuver and more stable on rough terrain because they have larger front wheels.

If you plan to drive your buggy off paved tracks choose a model with air-filled tyres (sometimes called pneumatic). These are more efficient and puncture-proof even on non-paved surfaces.

Stability

Generally, the bigger the wheels on your pushchair is, the better it will be able to handle rough ground and terrain. It's because larger wheels are more likely to skid' on bumps and dips. They also provide a more comfortable ride for your child. The disadvantage is that the extra wheels can take up space in your car's boot, and certain models of pushchair with large front wheels may require to be removed if you want to store it flat.

All-terrain pushchairs are built to withstand everything from high-street strolls to wooded walks, and are fitted with features that enable them to do this, such as sturdy suspension and huge puncture-proof tyres. They are often more expensive than other models, however if you regularly use your pushchair off the main track they could be worth the extra investment.

If you plan to use your pushchair on pavements, you should consider opting for a pushchair with air-filled tyres (sometimes called pneumatic tyres) since they are better suited to rough terrain than solid rubber ones. They are also less likely to break than those made of steel or hard plastic.

Some pushchairs let you remove the front wheel when not in use. This can make them easier to store, especially in the case of an empty boot. Some models have front wheels that can be locked in place to give you extra stability on uneven terrain. If you're thinking of purchasing a pushchair that has this feature, it's worth seeing how it's easy to use before you buy.

If you're thinking about adding a second seat, parent-facing unit or car seat adaptors to your pushchair, it's important to know how it is easy to change these elements and fold/unfold the pushchair with the attached items, particularly as you might have to carry a baby on board. Some models are designed to be fast and simple to change between these types of configurations, whereas others might require more patience.

Manoeuvrability

A 3 wheeler buggy-wheel pushchair is typically easier to steer and maneuver than a 4-wheeler, with the single front wheel making it easy to maneuver over rough terrain or bumps. Many models also come with suspension systems, designed to absorb shocks and ensure an enjoyable ride for your baby. MFM reviewer Kath tested a three-wheeled buggy to the test and was impressed with how well it sailed over bumpy cobbles, pavements, and dirt tracks. She found it easy to get up and down kerbs, and the wheels were quick to maneuver over grass too.

There are three types of 3 Wheel Bassinet Stroller wheeled pushchairs namely strollers (also known as Joggers), all-terrain models and all-terrain models. Strollers are best suited for ur to lift the pushchair while folded, for example when loading it into a car boot or navigating steps. This makes the pushchair feel heavy and hinder the ability to move through narrow aisles or spaces.

All-terrain pushchairs are built to withstand a variety of different terrains, such as rough and uneven terrain as well as mud and gravel trails. These pushchairs typically come with large, puncture-proof tyres along with an extremely sturdy suspension system that will provide a safe and comfortable ride for your child. These pushchairs are usually quite expensive when compared with regular pushchairs.

All-terrain pushchairs are an excellent choice when you reside in the country or take your baby for regular walks in woods or country parks. These pushchairs will generally have large tyres both front and back, and are designed to handle all kinds of terrain. They are usually an ideal choice for muddy and wet conditions, but we recommend checking the tyres regularly to avoid flat spots and air bubbles.

The iCandy Core is a great all-terrain stroller that checks off all the boxes. It has a spacious basket that can carry up to 10kg, a single handed fold and adjustable handlebars. The large tyres are filled with foam tyres that are never flat. You won't have to worry about punctures. The seat is designed to be world-facing and is suitable from birth and can be used with a carrycot or a compatible infant carrier.

The Special Tomato Jogger is another alternative. It is lightweight 3 wheel pushchair and highly maneuverable design. It's ideal for parents who like taking walks or jogging and has a suspension to ensure the user a comfortable ride across all terrains. We also love how easy it is to clean by simply being removed from the frame and then washing in cold water.

Tyres

The tyres of a three-wheeled pushchair tend to be larger than those on a four-wheeled pushchair. This makes it easier to cope with off-road terrain. The UPPAbaby Ridge, for example is equipped with large tyres filled with foam that will never flatten and a suspension system. This makes it perfect for long walks on rough terrain. It is also designed to be suitable to jog when your child is old enough. This is due to a 360-degree lockable front wheel, and a suspension that can be adjusted.

However, larger tyres can increase the overall weight of the pushchair. You'll have to consider this when deciding on the model. It is also important to think about whether you'd prefer an infant stroller with wheels that are removable for storage space in your car boot. MFM reviewer Becky particularly enjoyed this feature because it made maneuvering around the corners of supermarkets much easier.
