3 Wheeled Pushchairs

3 wheeled pushchairs are excellent choice for mothers who love walking over varied terrain. These buggies are easier to maneuver and are more robust on rough terrain as they have larger front wheels.

If you intend to take your buggy off of paved tracks, choose a model with air-filled tyres (sometimes called pneumatic). These are more efficient and puncture-proof on surfaces that are not paved.

Stability

Generally, the bigger the wheels on your pushchair is, the better it can deal with rough terrain and uneven ground. This is because bigger wheels are more likely to'skid on dips and bumps. They also offer a more comfortable ride for your child. The downside is the extra wheels can take up space in the car boot. Certain models of pushchairs with big front wheels must be removed to store them flat.

All-terrain strollers are equipped with features like large puncture-proof tires and robust suspensions that allow them to withstand everything from busy high-street strolls to woodland hikes. These types are typically more expensive however if your pushchair is used off the beaten path regularly, they may be worth the investment.

If you plan to remove your pushchair from paved surfaces, it's worth selecting a model that is fitted with air-filled tyres (sometimes called pneumatic tyres) because they are more suitable for rough terrain than the solid rubber ones. They are also less likely to break than ones made of steel or hard plastic.

Some pushchairs let you remove the front wheel when they are not in use. This can make them easier for you to store, particularly when you have a small boot. Certain models come with a front wheel that can be locked in place to ensure stability when on rough terrain. If you're thinking about purchasing a pushchair that has this feature, it's worth seeing how it's easy to use before you buy.

If you're thinking about adding a second seat, parent-facing unit or car seat adaptors to your pushchair, it's important to check how it is easy to switch these components and fold/unfold the pushchair with them attached - especially as you may need to do this with a child on board. Some models are designed to allow simple and quick change of configurations, while others require more patience.

Manoeuvrability

A 3 wheel travel stroller-wheel pushchair is often easier to steer and handle than a 4-wheeler, with the single wheel in front making it easy to navigate over bumps or rough terrain. Many models also have suspension systems, designed to absorb shocks and provide a smooth ride for your child. MFM reviewer Kath tried a tri-wheeled buggy to the test and was awed by how well it sailed over bumpy roads, cobbles and dirt tracks. She found it easy for her to climb up and down kerbs, and the wheels were quick to navigate grass.

There are three main types of 3 wheel pushchairs such as joggers, strollers and all-terrain models. Strollers have smaller wheels and narrower frames that are better for urban environments, while Joggers are fitted with big wheels and designed for off-road use. They typically feature a handbrake and adjustable handlebars, and are great for tackling off-road walks.

All-terrain strollers are a favorite among parents who love to explore the countryside and take advantage of the outdoors. They usually come with bigger, more durable wheels than standard pushchairs. They are ideal for rough terrain, and can be used from the time of birth. However, you may need car seat adaptors to attach an infant car seat.

Some pushchairs look like 3-wheelers, but actually have four wheels, with two smaller wheels positioned close together in front instead of the traditional central pair. This allows for maneuverability while maintaining the stability of a four-wheeler.

Some 3-wheel pushchairs feature the option of locking and swivelling the front wheel, which makes them even more manoeuvrable. This is particularly useful if you encounter difficult surfaces often, as you will avoid getting stuck or having obstacles to navigate around. Certain all-terrain pushchairs come equipped with foam-filled "never flat' tyres that don't need pumping up, so they're more convenient and comfortable for long walks or regular use. It's important to note that these types of pushchairs are typically heavier and bigger than other models which is why it's essential to consider the method you'll use for transporting them or storing them when choosing the model you want to use.

Weight

In general 3 wheel compact stroller-wheeled pushchairs are generally larger and heavier than regular pushchairs. This is especially the case when they have big back wheels. It can be a challenge to lift a pushchair once it is folded, for instance when loading it into the car's boot or when climbing steps. This makes the pushchair feel bulky and limit your ability to maneuver in narrow aisles or spaces.

All-terrain pushchairs are made to be able to navigate different terrains, such as rough and uneven terrain such as gravel and mud paths. They are fitted with large, puncture-proof tires and a sturdy suspension to provide a comfortable ride for your child. They are usually much more expensive than regular pushchairs.

All-terrain pushchairs are an excellent choice when you live in the country or take your baby for regular walks in woods or in country parks. These pushchairs are built to be able to handle a variety of terrains, and will have large tyres both on the front and rear. These pushchairs are often an ideal choice for wet or muddy weather However, we suggest checking your tyres frequently to avoid air bubbles and flat spots.

The iCandy Core, for example is a pushchair that can be used on all terrains that checks a lot of boxes. It comes with a large 10kg basket with a one-handed fold as well as an adjustable handlebar. The large tyres are filled with foam and never flat, which means you don't have to worry about punctures or loss of air pressure. The seat is suitable for use from birth and is suitable for all different ages. It can also be used in conjunction with the carrycot as well as an infant carrier.

Another option is another option is the Special Tomato Jogger, which is lightweight and has outstanding maneuverability. It's a great choice for parents who are active and like to go for walks or jogs with their child and comes with suspension that will ensure a comfortable ride on different kinds of terrain. We also appreciate how easy to clean it is, with the fabric simply taking off the frame and washing in cold water.

Tyres

The tyres of a 3-wheel pushchair will often be larger than those of a 4-wheeler that can help navigate off-road terrain. For instance, the UPPAbaby Ridge features large, foam-filled tyres that are never flat and suspension that makes it great for long walks and rough terrain. It's also designed to be suitable for running once your baby is old enough thanks to a 360-degree swivel lockable front wheel and adjustable suspension.

However, larger tyres can increase the weight of the pushchair so you'll need to take this into account when selecting the model. It is also important to decide if you want a model with removable wheels so that it is easy to store in your car boot. MFM reviewer Becky loved this feature as it made getting around supermarket corners more convenient.
