3 Wheel Pushchairs

Three wheel pushchairs are great for those who are an avid jogger or wants a more versatile stroller. Contrary to jogging buggies that typically feature large wheels that are designed for paths tricycles equipped with air-filled tyres are able to tackle markets and woodland walks cobbles alike.

Having large wheels, however, can make some models bulky and heavy therefore make sure that it folds up compactly and won't take up all the space in your boot.

Stability

Many parents are turned off by three wheel pushchairs by stories of them tipping over, however, this is usually due to poor quality or poorly designed models. It is important to test the stability of a 3-wheeler by physically trying it out. You should also take into consideration how quickly you can shift direction using the front wheel and how easily it can be done.

If you are planning to use your pushchair on rough terrain, choose one that has air-filled tires (also known as pneumatic tyres). They can take the bumps and lumps of gravel tracks or muddy pathways. These tyres will be more resistant to bumps and sand on muddy paths or gravel roads than plastic wheels. They provide a smoother ride for your child. Some models come with the option of locking the front wheel, which can be used when you're going over really rough ground as well.

All-terrain pushchairs can be bulkier than standard buggies with four wheels, so you may need to think about the amount of space they'll occupy in your car boot and whether you'll be in a position to lift it up and down the stairs when folded. They can also be quite heavy to lift and move, so you should try one out in person to gauge how much effort you'll need to put into lifting the buggy off the ground.
