Why Adding 3 Wheeled Pushchair To Your Life Can Make All The Change
3 Wheeled Pushchairs

Three-wheeled pushchairs can be a great alternative for moms who like walking on different terrain. The larger front wheels on these pushchairs allow them to be more maneuverable and offer more stability on rough ground.

If you plan to use your buggy on terrains other than the paved ones, you should choose one that has air-filled tires (also known as pneumatic). They are more effective on non-paved surfaces and are puncture-proof too.

Stability

Generally, the bigger the wheels on your pushchair is, the better it will cope with rough ground and terrain. This is because larger wheels have a greater contact surface, and are therefore less likely to skid over bumps and dips. They also offer a more comfortable ride for your child. The downside is that the extra wheels could take up space in your car's boot, and some models with big front wheels might need to have them removed when you wish to store it flat.

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

It is better to choose a pushchair with pneumatic (or air-filled) tyres if you plan on taking it off paved surfaces. They are more suitable for rough terrain than tyres made of solid rubber. They are also less likely to break than those made of steel or hard plastic.

Some pushchairs let you remove the front wheel when not in use. This can make them easier for you to store, particularly if you only have a small boot. Some models also have the front wheel that swivels and can be locked to add stability on rough terrain. It's important to know the ease of you to use a pushchair with this feature before you buy.

It is crucial to think about how easy it will be it to add a second seat or a parent-facing pushchair to your. This is particularly true for parents who have children with you. Some models are designed to allow simple and quick configuration changes, while others require more patience.

Manoeuvrability

A pushchair with three wheels is easier to steer and handle than a four-wheeler. The single wheel in the front allows for easy maneuvering over bumps and rough terrain. Many models also have suspension systems, designed to help absorb shocks and provide an easy ride for your child. MFM reviewer Kath tried a tri-wheeled buggy to the test, and was impressed with how well it sailed over bumpy roads, cobbles and dirt tracks. Kath found it easy for her to climb up and down kerbs and the wheels were quick to navigate grass.

There are three kinds of 3 wheeled pushchairs: strollers (also known as Joggers), all-terrain models, and all-terrain models. Strollers are ideal for urban environments with their smaller wheels and narrower frames, while joggers have large wheels and are designed to take you off-road. They usually have a handbrake and adjustable handlebars, and are great for tackling off-road trails.

All-terrain pushchairs are a popular choice for parents who wish to enjoy the outdoors and enjoy the countryside, and they usually have larger and more sturdy wheels than standard pushchairs. They're ideal for rough terrain and can usually be used from birth, however you might need to purchase car seat adaptors if you are looking to connect a compatible infant carrier.

Some pushchairs appear to be 3-wheelers but actually have 4 wheels, with two smaller wheels positioned close together at the front in place of a traditional central pair. This allows for the manoeuvrability of a three-wheeler with the stability and safety of a four-wheeler.

Some 3-wheel pushchairs feature a swivelling and lockable front wheel, which makes them even more maneuverable. This is especially beneficial if you regularly encounter difficult surfaces, as it could aid you in avoiding being stuck or having to walk around obstacles. Certain all-terrain pushchairs are fitted with foam-filled 'never flat' tyres, which don't require pumping, which means they're more comfortable and convenient for long walks or frequent use. It's important to note that these kinds of pushchairs are generally heavier and bigger than other models and it's crucial to consider how you'll be transporting or storing them when deciding on your preferred model.

Weight

Generally speaking 3-wheel pushchairs tend to be heavier and more spacious than standard pushchairs, especially when they have large rear wheels. It can be difficult to lift a pushchair when it is folded, for instance when loading into the trunk of a car or when climbing stairs. This makes the pushchair feel bulky and limit your ability to maneuver through 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 typically have large, puncture-proof tyres and an extremely sturdy suspension system to provide an enjoyable ride for your child. These pushchairs are usually quite expensive compared to regular pushchairs.

If you reside in the countryside, or take your child regularly for walks in woodland or country parks, an all-terrain pushchair may be a great choice. These pushchairs are designed to be able to handle a variety of terrains, and will have large tyres both on the front and rear. They are suitable for rainy or muddy conditions, but we recommend making sure you check your tyres regularly to avoid air bubbles and flat spots.


The iCandy Core, for example is a pushchair for all-terrain use that ticks a lot of boxes. It has a generous basket that can hold up to 10kg, a single handed fold and adjustable handlebars. Its large tyres feature foam-filled tyres that will never flat. It isn't necessary to worry about punctures. The seat is orientated to the world and suitable for babies from birth, and it can be used in conjunction with an infant carrycot or infant carrier.

3 wheel buggies is another option. It has a lightweight and extremely mobile design. It's ideal for parents who like taking walks or jogging and comes with suspension that ensures the user a comfortable ride across all terrains. We also love how easy to clean it is with the fabric being removed from the frame and washing in cold water.

Tyres

The tyres of a three-wheeled pushchair tend to be larger than those on a four-wheeled pram. This helps it to cope with off-road terrain. The UPPAbaby Ridge, for example is equipped with large tyres filled with foam that don't flatten, as well as a suspension system. This makes it perfect for long walks over rough terrain. It's designed to be able to jog once your child is old enough. This is because of the 360-degree lockable front wheel, and adjustable suspension.

However, larger tyres may increase the overall weight of the pushchair. You'll have to take this into account when selecting the model. You'll also need to consider whether you'd like an infant stroller with wheels that are removable for storage space in your car boot. MFM reviewer Becky particularly liked this feature because it made maneuvering around supermarket corners much simpler.
