10-Pinterest Accounts You Should Follow About 3 Wheeled Pushchair
The Benefits and Drawbacks of a 3 Wheeled Pushchair
A three-wheeled pushchair is perfect if you walk regularly on rough terrain or jog. These are the best to use if you require a pushchair that can tackle any terrain from busy streets to forest tracks.
For more manoeuvrability, look for a model that has swivelling or lockable front wheels. The rear and front wheels that are larger also provide an easier riding on different surfaces.
Manoeuvrability
Manoeuvrability is among the major advantages of a three wheel pushchair. The wheels are positioned close together allowing the chassis to move and turn more easily than a standard four wheel pushchair. This makes them ideal for busy streets and shops. Some models even have a pair of front wheels that can be locked and swivelled for extra manoeuvrability when needed. The Roma Atlas, for example is equipped with two wheels that are positioned close to each other at the front, and an ingenious lock that can swivel to give it all the maneuverability of three wheels, with added stability.
A lot of our most well-loved 3 wheelers are able to be converted from pram, stroller, toddler seat and car-seat carrier as your child develops. This is great for those who plan to travel with your family or on frequent trips to the shops. One such example is the Baby Jogger Nipper pushchair that includes Hauck's XL air wheel, a 360 swivel front wheel that locks and suspension that allows it to be used on all terrains including off-road and jogging when your child is old enough to start jogging with you!
The ickle Bubba Nipper is another alternative. It's an all-terrain stroller that has large puncture-proof tyres and great suspension that allows it to go on both off-road adventures as well as smooth city pavements. It is suitable for use from birth (in the reversible seat unit or with a compatible carrycot) and features a handy quick fold that can be folded with one hand for boot storage and airport travel.
It's important to choose the right wheels for a pushchair depending on where it will be used the most. Moulded wheels are fine for city life but won't perform well on more rough terrain. If you are planning to move your pushchair off the pavement, opt for pneumatic tyres. They can handle rough terrain.
If you're looking for a pushchair built to be able to handle both rural and urban environments take a look at our top-rated Bugaboo Fox Five All-Terrain pushchair.

Stability
There are many features that you can look for that will increase the stability of your buggy. Some designs have a rotating front wheel that can be locked in place to provide additional stability when driving on uneven terrain. This is especially useful for those who plan to use your pushchair for jogging or off-road. It can give you the confidence to handle different surfaces.
Suspension is another good feature to ensure stability. It will make your pushchair more comfortable to ride, both for the baby and you especially on uneven terrain. Some brands allow you to alter the tyres of their pushchairs to tailor it to the terrain you will be using it on.
If you are looking for a 3-wheeled pushchair that is able to perform on any terrain, you should consider purchasing a model with air-filled tyres. These wheels will provide a smoother ride over bumps and are less likely to puncture than solid wheels. They also allow you to tackle non-paved tracks and can carry your buggy over different surfaces like grass, sand and mud.

Weight
