The Benefits and Drawbacks of a 3 Wheeled Pushchair
A three-wheeled pushchair is ideal if you walk regularly on uneven terrain or jog. They are great if you require a vehicle that can be able to handle any terrain, from busy high streets to woodland tracks.
For greater maneuverability, opt for a model that has locking or swivelling front wheels. Larger wheels, both front and back also offer a more comfortable ride over varying surfaces.
Manoeuvrability
Manoeuvrability is a main advantages of a 3 wheel pushchair . The wheels are close together, allowing the chassis turn and turn more easily than a four wheel pushchair. This makes them suitable for busy shops and streets. Some models even have a pair of front wheels that can be locked and swivelled to provide extra manoeuvrability when needed. The Roma Atlas, for example is equipped with two wheels that are positioned closely together at the front and a clever lock that swivels to give the ability to maneuver like a 3-wheeler with added stability.
A lot of our top-selling 3 wheelers are also 4-in-1 travel systems which can change from stroller to toddler seat and car seat carrier as your child grows.

Stability
There are a number of features that you can look for that will increase the stability of your buggy. For instance, some models have a swivelling front wheel that can lock in place to provide extra stability on rough terrain.

Suspension is a great feature to ensure stability. It makes your buggy more comfortable ride, for both you and your baby especially on rough terrain. Some brands even allow you to swap out tyres of different brands to allow you to tailor the performance of your pushchair to the terrain you'll be riding it on.
