10 Unexpected 3 Wheeled Pushchair Tips
3 Wheeled Pushchairs


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

If you intend to drive your buggy on surfaces other than paved tracks, choose one 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 deal with rough terrain and the ground. This is because larger wheels have a bigger contact area, so they are less likely to skid over dips and bumps. The larger wheels also provide a more comfortable ride for your child. The disadvantage is that the extra wheels can take up space in the car boot. Some models of pushchairs that have large front wheels need to be removed in order to keep them flat.

All-terrain pushchairs are designed to handle anything from busy high-street strolls to woodland walks, and are equipped with features that enable them to achieve this, like strong suspension and huge puncture-proof tyres. These types are typically more expensive but if your child's pushchair is frequently used outside of the main roads regularly, they may be worth the cost.

If you are planning to use your pushchair on pavements, you should consider choosing one with air-filled tyres (sometimes called pneumatic tyres) as these are much better suited to rough terrain than solid rubber ones. They are also less susceptible to punctures than tyres which are made of metal or hard plastic.

Certain pushchairs allow you to remove the front wheel when they are not in use. This can make them easier for you to store, particularly in the case of an empty boot. Certain models come with front wheels that can be locked into place to provide extra stability on uneven terrain. It's worth checking the ease of you to use a pushchair equipped with this feature prior to buying.

If you're thinking of adding a second seat, parent-facing unit, or car seat adaptors to your pushchair it's important to know how easy it will be to switch these components and fold/unfold the pushchair when you have the attached items, particularly as you might have to do this with a baby on board. Some models are designed to allow quick and easy change of configurations, while others require more patience.

Manoeuvrability

A 3-wheel pushchair is typically easier to steer and handle than a 4-wheeler, due to the single wheel on the front making it easy to maneuver over rough terrain or bumps. Many models come with suspension systems that help to absorb shocks and provide your child with a smooth ride. MFM reviewer Kath put a three-wheeled buggy to the test and was impressed with how well it sailed over bumpy roads, cobbles and dirt tracks. She found it easy to go up and down kerbs and the wheels were quick to get over grass too.

There are three kinds of 3 wheeled pushchair s namely strollers (also called Joggers), all-terrain models and all-terrain models. Strollers are ideal for urban environments due to 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 perfect for off-road walks.

All-terrain pushchairs are popular for parents who want to enjoy the outdoors and explore the countryside, and they generally have more robust and larger wheels than regular pushchairs. They're ideal for rough terrain and are generally used from birth, however you may need to buy car seat adapters if you want to attach a compatible infant carrier.

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

Some 3-wheel pushchairs have a swivelling and lockable front wheel, making them even more manoeuvrable. This is especially beneficial if you regularly encounter difficult surfaces, as it can aid you in avoiding being stuck or having to walk around obstacles. Some all-terrain strollers are equipped with foam-filled "never flat" tyres, which don't require pumping. This makes them more convenient and comfortable to use on long walks or for frequent use. It's important to remember that these kinds of pushchairs tend to be larger and heavier than other models, so it's important to consider the method you'll use for transporting them or storing them when choosing the model you want to use.

Weight

Generally speaking 3-wheel pushchairs tend be heavier and bigger than standard pushchairs, especially when they come with large rear wheels. This can make it difficult to lift the pushchair while folded, for example when loading into a car boot or navigating the stairs. This can make the pushchair feel bulky and limit your ability to maneuver through narrow spaces or aisles.

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 will typically feature large, puncture-proof tyres as well as a robust suspension system to provide a comfortable ride for your child. They are typically expensive compared to regular pushchairs.

All-terrain pushchairs are a good option for those who reside in the countryside or take your baby for regular walks in woods or country parks. These pushchairs are built to handle different terrains and will have large tyres on both the front and rear. These pushchairs are usually suitable for wet or muddy weather However, we suggest making sure you check your tyres regularly to avoid air bubbles and flat spots.

The iCandy Core, for example is a pushchair that can be used on all terrains that checks off a number of boxes. It has a spacious basket that can hold up to 10kg, a one hand fold, and a movable handlebar. Its large tyres have foam-filled tyres that are never flat. It isn't necessary to worry about punctures. The seat is suitable for use from birth and is suitable for all different ages. It can also be used with an infant carrycot or infant carrier.

Another alternative is the Special Tomato Jogger, which features a light design and great maneuverability. It's a great choice for parents who are active and like to take walks or jogs with their baby and also is equipped with suspension that will ensure a comfortable ride on different types of terrain. We also appreciate how easy to clean it is, with the fabric simply being removed from the frame and then washing in cold water.

Tyres

A 3-wheel pushchair's tyres will often be larger than those on a 4-wheel pram, which can help to handle off-road terrain. For instance the UPPAbaby Ridge features large foam-filled tyres with a 'never flat' design and suspension that makes it ideal for long walks as well as rough ground. It's also designed for jogging after your child has grown old enough. This is thanks to a 360-degree lockable front wheel, and an adjustable suspension.

However, larger tyres may increase the weight of the pushchair, so you'll need to take this into consideration when deciding on the model. You should also consider whether you want a pushchair that has wheels that can be removed for storage space in your car boot. MFM reviewer Becky particularly enjoyed this feature as it made manoeuvring around supermarket corners much easier.
