3 Wheeled Pushchairs

Three-wheeled pushchairs can be a great alternative for moms who like walking on different terrain. These buggies are much easier to maneuver and are more robust on rough terrain as they have larger front wheels.

If you plan to use your buggy on terrains other than the paved ones, you should choose a model that has air-filled tires (also called pneumatic). These are more efficient and puncture-proof on surfaces that are not paved.

Stability

The bigger the wheels of your pushchair the better they are able to be able to handle rough terrain and even the ground. This is because the larger wheels have a larger contact surface so are less likely to'skid' over bumps and dips. The larger wheels also offer the most comfortable ride for your child. The downside is that the additional wheels can take up space in your car boot, and certain models of pushchair with large front wheels might need to be removed when you wish to put it away flat.

All-terrain pushchairs are built to withstand everything from high street strolls to woodland walks, and are fitted with features that let them do this, such as strong suspension and huge puncture-proof tyres. These models are generally more expensive, but if your pushchair is frequently used outside of the main roads often, they could be worth the investment.

It is better to choose a pushchair that has pneumatic (or air-filled) tyres if you plan to take it off roads. They are more suitable for rough terrain than solid rubber tyres. These tyres are also less likely to break than ones made of metal or hard plastic.

Some pushchairs let you remove the front wheel when they are not in use. This can make them easier to store, particularly in the case of a small boot. Some models also feature a swivelling front wheel that can be locked to give stability over very rough ground. It's worth checking how easy it is for you to use a pushchair with this feature before you buy.

If you're considering adding an additional seat, parent-facing unit or car seat adaptors to your pushchair it is important to determine how easy it will be to change these elements and fold/unfold the pushchair with them attached - especially as you might have to carry a baby on board. Some models are designed to allow quick and easy change of configurations, while others require more patience.

Manoeuvrability

Many models come with suspension systems that absorb shocks and give your baby an easy ride. MFM's Kath test-driven a three-wheeled buggie and was impressed by how well it handled uneven pavements, cobblestones and dirt tracks. Kath found it easy to climb up and down kerbs and the wheels were fast to maneuver through grass.

There are three main types of 3 wheel pushchairs: strollers, joggers and all-terrain models. Strollers have smaller wheels and shorter frames that are better suited to urban environments, whereas joggers are equipped with large wheels and are specifically designed for off-road use. They typically come with a handbrake as well as adjustable handlebars. They are ideal for off-road trails.

All-terrain pushchairs are a popular choice for parents who want to enjoy the outdoors and enjoy the countryside. They usually come with larger and more durable wheels than standard pushchairs. They are ideal for rough terrain, and can be used as early as birth. However, you might require car seat adaptors to connect an infant carrier.

Some pushchairs appear to be 3-wheelers but actually have 4 wheels, with two small wheels that are close to each other at the front in place of a traditional central pair. This provides manoeuvrability with the stability of a four-wheeler.

Some 3-wheeled pushchairs have a lockable and swivelable front wheel, which makes them more easily maneuverable. This is especially useful when you frequently encounter rough surfaces, as it could assist you in avoiding getting stuck or walking around obstacles. Some all-terrain strollers are equipped with foam-filled "never flat" tyres that don't require pumping. This makes them more comfortable and comfortable to use for long walks or for regular use. It's important to remember that these types of pushchairs are typically larger and heavier than other options and it's crucial to think about how you'll be transporting them or storing them when selecting the best model for you.

Weight

In general 3-wheeled pushchairs tend to be heavier and larger than normal pushchairs. This is especially true when they have big back wheels. It can be a challenge to lift a pushchair once it is folded, for instance when it is loaded into the car's boot or when climbing the stairs. This makes the pushchair feel heavy and restrict the ability to move through narrow aisles or spaces.

All-terrain strollers are designed to be used on different terrains like rough and uneven terrain as well as mud and gravel paths. These pushchairs come with large, puncture-proof tires. They also have an extremely sturdy suspension that will provide a comfortable ride for the child. They are typically costly compared to normal pushchairs.

All-terrain pushchairs are a great choice when you reside in the countryside or take your baby on regular walks in woods or country parks. These pushchairs will generally have large tyres both front and back, and they are designed to withstand all kinds of terrain. They will often be the best choice for muddy and wet weather, however we recommend checking the tyres regularly to avoid flat spots and air bubbles.

The iCandy Core is a great all-terrain stroller that ticks off a lot of the boxes. It has a generous 10kg basket with a one-handed fold as well as an adjustable handlebar. Its large tyres feature foam-filled tyres that are never flat. It isn't necessary to worry about punctures. The seat is designed to be world-facing and suitable for babies from birth, and can be used in conjunction with a carrycot or a compatible infant carrier.

The Special Tomato Ickle Bubba Venus Max All-Black Stroller: Ultimate Jogger is another alternative. It is lightweight and extremely maneuverable design. It's an excellent choice for active parents who like to take walks or jogs with their baby, and it is equipped with a suspension system to ensure the baby is comfortable on all kinds of terrain. We also love how simple to clean it with the fabric being removed from the frame and washing in cold water.

Tyres

The tyres on a 3-wheeled pushchair are usually larger than those on a 4-wheeled pram. This can help it to navigate off-road terrain. For instance, the UPPAbaby Ridge features large, foam-filled tyres with a 'never flat' design and suspension systems that make it ideal for long walks and rough ground. It's also designed to be suitable for jogging when your child is old enough. This is due to a 360-degree lockable front wheel, and a suspension that can be adjusted.

However, larger tyres may increase the overall weight of the pushchair. You'll have to take this into consideration when deciding on the model. You'll also need to consider whether you'd prefer a pushchair that has wheels that can be removed for easier storage in your car boot. MFM reviewer Becky loved this feature as it made the process of navigating the supermarket aisles easier.
