How To Get More Value From Your 3 Wheeled Pushchair
The Benefits and Drawbacks of a 3 Wheeled Pushchair
If you regularly walk through rough terrain, or want to exercise on a treadmill, a three-wheeled pushchair is the perfect choice. They are ideal if you require a vehicle that can be able to handle any terrain from busy high streets to tracks in the woods.
Look for models with front wheels that can be locked or turned. This will give you more flexibility. Front and rear wheels that are larger also provide a more comfortable ride on different surfaces.
Manoeuvrability
Manoeuvrability is one of the main advantages of a 3 wheel pushchair. The wheels are placed close together allowing the chassis to rotate and turn much more easily than a conventional four wheel pushchair, making them perfect for busy streets and shops. Some models have smaller front wheels that can be swivelled and locked for extra maneuverability. The Roma Atlas has two wheels in the front set close together and a smart lock that allows it to be as stable as a three-wheeler, while still having the same maneuverability.
Many of our best-selling 3 wheelers come with a 4-in-1 travel systems that change from stroller to a toddler seat or car seat carrier as your child grows. This is ideal for those who plan to travel with your family or on frequent trips to the shops. The Baby Jogger Nipper is a excellent illustration. It has Hauck airwheels that are XL, a 360-degree swivel lockable wheel and a suspension that lets it be used on any terrain.
Another great option is the ickle Bubba Nipper which is an all-terrain pushchair with a great suspension and large puncture proof tyres, which make it suitable for off-road excursions as well as smooth city pavements.

Stability
There are numerous features you can check out for that will improve the stability of your buggy. Certain models come with a rotating front wheel that is locked to give extra stability on rough terrain.

Another good stability feature is suspension - this will make your baby's buggy more comfortable to ride in for both baby and parents especially on uneven terrain. Some brands also offer the option to swap out tyres of different brands so that you can tailor the performance of your pushchair according to the type of terrain you'll be riding it on.
