The Benefits and Drawbacks of a 3 Wheeled Pushchair

A three-wheeled pushchair is perfect for those who walk a lot on rough terrain or jog. They are the best choice for those who need a pushchair that can tackle any terrain, from busy streets to forest tracks.

Look for designs with front wheels that can be locked or swivelled. This will allow you more flexibility. Larger wheels, both front and back offer an easier ride on various terrains.

Manoeuvrability

A 3 Wheel Infant Stroller (Woodruff-Chung.Federatedjournals.Com)-wheel pushchair is a great option for those looking to be able to maneuver easily. The wheels are set close to each other, which allows the chassis to move and turn much more easily than a traditional four wheel pushchair, making them perfect for busy streets and shops. Some even have a pair of front wheels that can be locked and swivelled to provide additional maneuverability when required. The Roma Atlas has two wheels at the front that are placed close together, and a lock that allows it to be as stable as a three-wheeler, while still allowing for the same maneuverability.

Many of our best-selling 3 wheel stroller wheelers are also 4-in-1 travel systems which can convert from stroller to pram to a toddler seat or car seat carrier as your child grows. This is ideal when you're planning to travel with your family or taking frequent trips to the shops. The Baby Jogger Nipper is a great example. It features Hauck XL airwheels, a 360-degree swivel lockable wheel and a suspension that allows it to be used on all terrains.

Another option is the ickle bubba Nipper, an all-terrain pushchair with great suspension and huge puncture-proof tyres, which make it suitable for off-road excursions and smooth city pavements.

It is essential to select the correct wheels for your pushchair based on the location it will be used most. Moulded wheels work well in the city but not on more rough terrain. If you plan on taking your pushchair off pavements choose tyres with air in them also known as pneumatic tyres capable of handling rough terrain.

Stability

There are many options to look for that will increase the stability of your buggy. For example, some designs feature a swivelling front wheel that can lock in place to give you extra to have their pushchair able to go across any terrain.

Weight

The drawback of strollers with 3 wheels is that they can be heavy, especially if you have to navigate bumpy terrain or kerbs. The larger rear wheels on a 3-wheeler also make up a higher total weight than 4-wheelers, which means that you'll require more strength to lift them, especially when folding.

All-terrain models are an excellent option if you want an infant stroller that can handle rough terrain or the tarmac that is rocky. These models usually have specific features like a sturdy suspension system and large puncture-proof tires. Nowadays, manufacturers are developing all-terrain pushchairs that have foam or gel-filled tyres which are not designed to go flat, and thus don't require inflating.
