3 Wheeled Pushchairs Three-wheeled pushchairs can be an ideal option for mothers who love walking on a variety of terrain. The larger front wheels on these pushchairs allow them to be more maneuverable and offer more stability when walking on rough terrain. If you intend to take your buggy off paved tracks choose a model with air-filled tyres (sometimes called pneumatic). They are much more effective on non-paved surfaces, and are puncture-proof too. Stability The larger the wheels of your pushchair the better they are able to deal with rough terrain and the ground. This is because the larger wheels have a bigger contact area, so they are less likely to'skid' over dips and bumps. They also offer a more comfortable ride for your child. The downside is that extra wheels could take up the space in your car boot, and certain models of pushchair with large front wheels may need to be removed if you want to keep it in a flat place. All-terrain pushchairs are built to handle anything from busy high-street strolls to woodland walks, and are equipped with features that let them achieve this, like strong suspension and huge puncture-proof tyres. They can be more expensive than other models, but if you regularly use your pushchair off the beaten track, they might be worth the extra cost. It is recommended to select a pushchair that has pneumatic (or air-filled) tyres if you plan to take it off paved surfaces. They are better suited for rough terrain than solid rubber tyres. They are also less likely to break than those made of metal or plastic. Some pushchairs let users to remove the front wheel when in use, which makes them more compact to store – ideal if you have an insufficient car boot. 3 wheel buggy come with an front wheel that can be locked into place to ensure stability on uneven terrain. It's worth checking how easy it is for you to use a pushchair with this feature prior to purchasing. It is important to think about how easy it will make it to add another seat or parent-facing unit to your pushchair. This is especially true for parents who have children with you. Some models are designed to allow simple and quick change of configurations, while others require more patience. Manoeuvrability A 3-wheel pushchair can be more maneuverable and manage than a 4-wheeler, due to the single wheel on the front making it simple to navigate over rough terrain or bumps. Many models come with suspension systems that absorb the shocks and give your child a smooth ride. MFM's Kath tested a three-wheeled buggie and was awed by the ease with which it handled uneven pavements, cobblestones and dirt tracks. Kath found it easy for her to climb up and down kerbs, and the wheels were quick to negotiate grass. There are three main kinds of 3 wheel pushchairs: strollers, joggers and all-terrain models. Strollers have smaller wheels and narrower frames that are more for urban environments, whereas Joggers have large wheels and are specifically designed for use off-road. They typically have a handbrake and adjustable handlebars, and are great for tackling off-road hikes. All-terrain pushchairs are popular for parents who wish to enjoy the outdoors and explore the countryside. They usually have more robust and larger wheels than standard pushchairs. They are suitable for rough terrain, and can be used from birth. However, you may require adaptors for your car seat to attach an infant carrier. Some pushchairs appear to be 3-wheelers but actually have 4 wheels, with two smaller wheels that are close to each other in front, instead of a traditional central pair. This allows for the manoeuvrability of a three-wheeler with the stability and security of a four wheeler. Some 3-wheeled pushchairs include a lockable and swivelable front wheel, which makes them more maneuverable. This is particularly useful if you regularly encounter difficult surfaces, as it can help you avoid getting stuck or walking around obstacles. Certain all-terrain strollers come with foam-filled “never flat” tyres, that don't require pumping. This makes them more comfortable and comfortable to use on long walks or for regular use. These kinds of pushchairs tend to be heavier and bulkier than other choices. It is important to think about how you will transport or store them when choosing your preferred model. Weight In general 3-wheeled pushchairs tend to be larger and heavier than standard pushchairs. This is especially true when they have big back wheels. It can be difficult to lift a pushchair when it is folded, like when loading into the boot of a car or when navigating stairs. This could make the pushchair feel a little weighty when you're out and about, and can restrict the speed at which you can manoeuvre through small spaces or aisles in shops. All-terrain strollers are designed to be used on various terrains, including rough and uneven ground, mud, and gravel paths. They are fitted with large, puncture-proof tires and an extremely sturdy suspension that will provide an enjoyable ride for the child. They are typically costly compared to standard pushchairs. If you reside in the countryside or frequently take your baby for walks through woodlands or country parks, an all-terrain pushchair may be a good option. These pushchairs will generally feature large tyres front and back, and they are designed to withstand all kinds of terrain. These pushchairs are often a good option for muddy or wet weather However, we suggest checking your tyres frequently to avoid air bubbles and flat spots. The iCandy Core is a great all-terrain stroller which ticks all the boxes. It comes with a huge 10kg basket that folds with one hand and an adjustable handlebar. The large tyres are stuffed with foam and never flat, so you won't have to worry about punctures or losing air pressure. The seat is suitable for use from birth and is suitable for all ages. It can also be used with an infant carrycot or infant carrier. Another alternative is the Special Tomato Jogger, which features a light design and excellent manoeuvrability. It's a great option for parents who love to walk or jogs along with their child and also is equipped with a suspension system to ensure an enjoyable ride on all types of terrain. The fabric can be removed from the frame and washed in cold water by machine. Tyres The tyres on a 3-wheel pushchair are usually larger than those found on a 4-wheel pram, which can help to navigate off-road terrain. For example the UPPAbaby Ridge features large foam-filled tyres that are never flat and a suspension system that make it ideal for long walks and rough terrain. It is also designed to be suitable for jogging when your child is old enough. This is due to the 360-degree lockable front wheel and adjustable suspension. However, larger tyres could increase the weight of the pushchair, so you'll need to take this into consideration when deciding on the model. You will also need to decide if you would like a model with removable wheels to make it easy to store in your car boot. MFM reviewer Becky particularly enjoyed this feature because it made manoeuvring around supermarket corners much easier.
