3 Wheeled Pushchairs

Stability

The larger the wheels on your pushchair is, the better it will deal with rough terrain and dirt. This is because bigger wheels are more likely to skid on dips and bumps. They also offer a more comfortable ride to your child. The downside is the extra wheels can take up space in the car boot.

They are also much less susceptible to punctures than tyres that are composed of hard plastic or metal.

Manoeuvrability
