The Benefits and Drawbacks of a 3 Wheeled Pushchair

A three-wheeled buggy is ideal for those who regularly walk on uneven terrain or jog. They are great if you need a buggy that can be able to handle any terrain from busy high streets to woodland tracks.

Look for models with front wheels that can be locked or swivelled. This will give you more flexibility. The rear and front wheels that are bigger offer the most comfortable ride on different surfaces.

Manoeuvrability

A 3 wheel pushchair is a great option for those who wish to be able to move effortlessly. The wheels are set close to each other, which allows the chassis to turn and twist more easily than a conventional four wheel pushchair. This makes them ideal for busy streets and shops. Some have small front wheels that are swivelled and locked for extra maneuverability. The Roma Atlas, for example has two wheels placed closely together at the front, and a clever lock that swivels to give the ability to maneuver like a 3 wheel twin stroller-wheeler with added stability.

A lot of our most well-loved 3 wheelers can be converted from pram, stroller, car-seat and toddler seats as your child develops. This is great if you intend to travel as a family, or make frequent trips to the store. The Baby Jogger Nipper is a great illustration. It features Hauck airwheels XL with a 360-degree locking swivel wheel, and a suspension which lets it be used on all terrains.

Another great option is the ickle Bubba Nipper, an all-terrain pushchair with great suspension and large puncture-proof tyres that allow it to be used for off-road adventures as well as smooth city pavements. It can be used from the beginning with the seat that can be reversible or carrycot that is compatible with. It also comes with an easy fold that can be folded with one hand for storage in the boot and for travel to airports.

It is crucial to select the correct wheels for your pushchair depending on where it will be used the most. Moulded wheels work well for city use but will not be able to handle rougher terrain. If you intend to take your pushchair off pavements you should choose tyres that are filled with air also known as pneumatic tyres that are capable of handling rough terrain.

If you’re looking for a model that can be used in both rural and urban locations, then look no further than our top-rated Bugaboo Fox 5 All Terrain pushchair. It has all the fantastic suspension and large wheels of an all-terrain model but it’s also a fantastic urban pushchair, with a lightweight frame, a lockable front wheel, and a one-handed fold.

Stability

You can increase the stability of your buggy by searching for certain features. Certain models come with an swiveling front wheel that can be locked to give extra stability on rough terrain. This can be especially useful for those who will use your pushchair off-road or for jogging as it will give you the confidence to go any surface easily.

Another great stability feature is suspension – this makes your buggy more comfortable for both you and baby, especially on uneven ground. Some brands even offer the option to swap out tyres with different sizes to allow you to tailor the performance of your pushchair according to the terrain you’ll be taking it on.

If you’re in the market for a 3-wheeled pushchair that is able to perform on any terrain, think about buying a model that has air-filled tyres. They will give you a more comfortable ride on bumps and are less susceptible to punctures than the solid wheels. They will also allow you to ride on tracks that are not paved and will transport your buggy on different surfaces like grass, sand and mud.

All-terrain pushchairs tend to be slightly wider than standard models however there are a few fantastic options that won’t compromise on the stability or maneuverability. One of our favorites is the UPPAbaby Ridge comes with a number of impressive features which make it suitable for off-road walking as well as jogging once your child reaches a certain age. They include large, foam filled never-flat tyres and adjustable suspension and a simple one-handed folding.

The Bugaboo Fox 5 is another great all-terrain stroller. It has similar capabilities to the UPPAbaby, and comes with great suspension, large puncture proof tires, and a single handed fold. It’s also compatible with a large variety of car seats and can be used as an infant carrier or carrycot too. It can be slightly heavier than some of the other lightest 3 wheel stroller-wheelers but is still a great option for parents who want to use their pushchair on all types of terrain.

Weight

The downside of 3 wheeled strollers is that they’re heavy, particularly if you are required to traverse bumpy terrain and kerbs. The larger rear wheels of a 3 wheel buggy-wheeler add to the overall weight, making it heavier than the 4-wheeler. This means that you’ll require more strength when lifting them.

All-terrain models are a great choice if you need a pushchair that can cope with rough terrain or rocky tarmac. These models usually come with specific features like a sturdy suspension system and large puncture-proof tires. Nowadays, manufacturers are developing all-terrain pushchairs using foam or gel-filled tyres which are designed not to go flat and therefore don’t need inflation.

UPPAbaby’s Ridge all-terrain pushchair has a great choice of parent-friendly features that allow it to tackle many types of terrain easily. It includes the ability to lock the front wheel, an easy and simple one-handed fold, a large basket and an adjustable handlebar. MFM reviewer Becky noted that the Ridge was “very great for trails in the woods with gravel tracks, as well as market town cobbles”.

iCandy is another brand that provides a range of all terrain pushchairs. Their latest all-terrain model, the Core is suitable from birth and can be used with a carrycot as well as car seat adaptors. The iCandy Core is packed with features that make it a great stroller for all terrains. These include large and foam-filled tyres which never flatten and a great suspension. The Core is heavier than other all-terrain strollers, but still light enough to be able to move on rougher terrain.

Folding

If you’re in search of a pushchair that can handle the most difficult of terrain, you might want to consider an all-terrain model. This kind of pushchair will have large wheels both front and back, which will help you navigate rough, off-road terrain. Often they’ll have more robust suspension as well as more puncture-proof tyres to prevent them from getting clogged up with grass, sticks or mud.

The Mountain Buggy Ridge is a excellent example of a pushchair that is similar to this. This is an all-terrain model that comes with a variety of impressive features including smooth suspension, a spacious basket, one-handed steering, and a quick one-handed fold. It is also compatible with a car seat and carrycot (with adaptors), so it can be used from as early as six months.
