The Benefits and Drawbacks of a 3 Wheeled Pushchair

A three-wheeled pushchair is ideal for those who walk a lot on rough terrain or run. They are ideal if you require a vehicle that can be able to handle any terrain, from busy high streets to tracks in the woods.

For greater maneuverability, opt for a model with locks or swivelling front wheels. Larger wheels on the front and back also offer a more comfortable ride over various surfaces.

Manoeuvrability

Manoeuvrability is one of the major advantages of a three wheel pushchair. The wheels are placed close to each other, allowing the chassis to rotate and turn much more easily than a traditional four wheel pushchair. This makes them ideal for busy streets and shopping. Some have small front wheels that can be swivelled and locked for extra maneuverability. The Roma Atlas, for example, has two wheels positioned close to each other at the front, and a clever lock that can swivel to give it all the maneuverability of a 3 wheel stroller with car seat-wheeler with added stability.

A lot of our top-selling 3 wheel tandem stroller wheelers are also 4-in-1 travel systems that can change from stroller to toddler seat and car seat carrier as your child grows.

One such example is the Baby Jogger Nipper pushchair that features Hauck's XL air wheels, a 360 swivel front wheel that can be locked and a suspension system that allows it to be used on all types of terrain, including off-road, and jogging after your child is old enough to start jogging with you!

The wheels you choose for your pushchair is essential dependent on the location you'll use it the most. Moulded wheels are great for the city, but not on rougher terrain.

Stability

Certain models come with an swiveling front wheel that is locked in place to provide additional stability when driving when riding on rough terrain.

Suspension is another good feature to ensure stability. It will make your buggy more comfortable to ride, for both your child and you especially on uneven terrain. Some brands also provide the option of swapping out different tyres to allow you to tailor the performance of your pushchair to suit the terrain you'll be taking it on.
