3 Wheeled Pushchairs

3 wheeled pushchairs can be a ideal choice for mothers who like to walk over varied terrain. The larger front wheels on these buggies allow them to be more maneuverable and offer greater stability on rough ground.

If you intend to take your buggy off paved tracks choose a model with air-filled tyres (sometimes called pneumatic). They are more effective on non-paved surfaces and are puncture-proof too.

Stability

Generally, the bigger the wheels on your pushchair, the better it will be able to handle rough terrain and dirt. This is because larger wheels have a larger contact area, so they are less likely to slide over dips and bumps. They also provide a more comfortable ride for your child. The disadvantage is that the extra wheels could take up the space in your car boot, and certain models of pushchair with large front wheels may require to have them removed in order to store it flat.

All-terrain pushchairs are built to be able to take on anything from high-street strolls to woodland walks, and are equipped with features that enable them to do this, such as robust suspension and large puncture-proof tyres. These models are generally more expensive, but if your pushchair is frequently used outside of the main roads regularly, they may be worth the investment.

If you intend to take your pushchair off roads, it's worth selecting a model that is fitted with air-filled tyres (sometimes called pneumatic tyres) since they are more suitable for rough terrain than solid rubber ones. They are also less likely to puncture than ones made of metal or hard plastic.

Some pushchairs allow you to remove the front wheel when they are not in use. This makes them easier for you to store, especially when you have a small boot. Some models also have a swivelling front wheel that can be locked to provide stability over very rough ground. It is important to determine the ease of you to use a pushchair equipped with this feature prior to buying.

It's important to consider the ease with which you can make it to add an additional seat or parent-facing unit to your pushchair. This is especially true if you have a baby with you. Some models are designed to allow simple and quick change of configurations, while others require more patience.

Manoeuvrability

A 3-wheel pushchair is typically easier to steer and handle than a four-wheeler, with the single wheel in front making it simple to navigate over rough terrain or bumps. A lot of models have suspension systems that absorb shocks and provide your child with an easy ride. MFM reviewer Kath put a three-wheeled buggy to the test, and was impressed with the ease with which it negotiated bumpy pavements, cobbles and dirt tracks. She found it easy for her 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 are best suited for urban environments with their smaller frames and narrower wheels, while joggers have large wheels and are designed to take you off-road. They are equipped with a handbrake, adjustable handlebars and are great for walks off-road.

All-terrain strollers are a favorite among parents who like to explore the countryside and enjoy the outdoors. They typically have larger, more durable wheels than regular pushchairs. They are great for rocky terrain and can be used as early as the moment of birth. However, you might require adaptors for your car seat to connect an infant carrier.

Some pushchairs appear to be 3-wheelers but are actually four wheels. Two wheels are placed close together in front, instead of the traditional central pair. This allows for maneuverability while maintaining the stability of a four-wheeler.

Some 3-wheeled pushchairs have an swivelable and lockable front wheel, making them more maneuverable. This is especially useful when you have to navigate through rough terrain often, as you will avoid getting stuck or having obstacles to negotiate. Certain all-terrain pushchairs come fitted with foam-filled 'never flat' tyres, which don't require pumping up, so they're more comfortable and convenient for long walks or frequent use. It's important to note that these kinds of pushchairs tend to be heavier and bigger than other pushchairs and it's crucial to consider the method you'll use for transporting or storing them before selecting the best model for you.

Weight

In general 3-wheeled pushchairs tend to be heavier and larger than standard pushchairs. This is especially true when they feature large back wheels. It can be a challenge to lift a pushchair while it is folded, like when loading it into the trunk of a car or when navigating steps. This could make the pushchair appear bulky and limit the ability to move through narrow spaces or aisles.

All-terrain pushchairs are designed to be able to navigate different terrains, such as rough and uneven terrain as well as mud and gravel trails. They are fitted with large, puncture-proof tires and an extremely sturdy suspension that will provide a comfortable ride for the child. These pushchairs are generally expensive compared to regular pushchairs.

All-terrain pushchairs are an excellent choice if you live in the country or take your baby on regular walks in the woods or in country parks. These pushchairs are made to withstand a variety of terrains and will feature large tyres on the front and rear facing 3 wheel stroller. They will often be the best choice for muddy and wet conditions, but we suggest checking the tyres regularly to avoid flat spots and air bubbles.

The iCandy Core, for example, is an all-terrain pushchair that ticks a lot of boxes. It has a spacious basket that can carry up to 10kg, a single hand fold and adjustable handlebars. Its large tyres have foam-filled tyres that are never flat. You won't have to worry about punctures. The seat is orientated to the world and is suitable from birth and can be used in conjunction with the carrycot or an infant carrier.

The Special Tomato Jogger is another alternative. It's a light and highly mobile design. It's a great choice for parents who love to walk or jogs with their baby, and it is equipped with suspension to provide an enjoyable ride on all types of terrain. The fabric can be removed from the frame, and then washed with cold water using a machine.

Tyres

The tyres on a 3-wheel pushchair will often be larger than those of a 4-wheeler that can help navigate off-road terrain. The UPPAbaby Ridge, for example, has large foam-filled tyres that will never flatten and suspension systems. This makes it suitable for long-distance walks on rough terrain. It's also designed to be suitable for jogging once your baby is old enough due to a 360-degree pivoting lockable front wheel and adjustable suspension.

However, larger tyres could add weight to the pushchair. You'll have to take this into consideration when selecting the model. You will also need to decide if you'd like a model with removable wheels so that it is easy to store in your car boot. MFM reviewer Becky especially liked this feature as it made maneuvering around the corners of supermarkets much easier.
