If you regularly walk through rough terrain, or wish to run on a treadmill, a three-wheeled pushchair is the best option. They are great if you require a vehicle that can handle all types of terrain, from busy streets to tracks in the woods.
For greater maneuverability, opt for a model with locks or swivelling front wheels. The rear and front wheels that are larger provide an easier riding on different surfaces.
Manoeuvrability
A 3 wheel pushchair is a fantastic choice for those who want to move easily. The wheels are set close to each other, which allows the chassis to rotate and turn much more easily than a conventional four wheel pushchair, making them perfect for busy streets and shops. Some have small front wheels that are locked and swivelled to give them extra maneuverability. The Roma Atlas, for example has two wheels placed close to each other at the front, and a clever swivel lock that gives it all the maneuverability of a 3-wheeler with added stability.
