How To Outsmart Your Boss On 3 Wheel Pushchairs
3 Wheel Pushchairs
Three wheel pushchairs are ideal for anyone who is an avid jogger or wants a more versatile stroller. Three-wheel prams, that have air-filled tires instead of the large wheels that are often used on jogging buggies made for roads with paved surfaces can be used to navigate through woodland trails and cobbled streets.
Some models can be heavy and bulky due to their huge wheels. Make sure they fold down in a compact manner and don't take up the entire space of your boot.
Stability
Many parents are dissuaded from buying three wheel pushchairs because of stories of them falling over, however, this is usually due to cheap or poorly designed models. When selecting a 3-wheeler it is essential to determine the stability of the buggy by attempting it in person. You should also take into consideration how quickly you can change direction with the front wheel and how easily it can be done.
If you're planning to use your pushchair off-road, opt for a model with air-filled tyres (sometimes called pneumatic tyres) that can cope with rough terrain. These tyres are able to take the bumps and sloughs of muddy trails or gravel tracks better than moulded plastic wheels that give your child a smooth ride. Some models come with an lockable wheel on the front, which can be used for rough terrain.
All-terrain pushchairs are heavier than standard four-wheeled buggies and you'll need to think about the amount of space they'll occupy in your car's boot and if you'll be able to lift it up and down stairs once folded. It could be a challenge to lift them, which is why you should test them in person to determine how heavy they are.
