What's The Reason Nobody Is Interested In 3 Wheeled Pushchair
The Benefits and Drawbacks of a 3 Wheeled Pushchair
If you often walk across rough terrain or would like to go jogging in a pushchair with three wheels, it's the best option. They are ideal if you want a buggy that will take on any terrain, from busy high streets to woodland tracks.
Look for designs with front wheels that can be locked or rotated. This will allow you more flexibility. 3 wheel buggy on the front and back can provide an easier ride on varying surfaces.
Manoeuvrability
Manoeuvrability is a main advantages of a 3 wheel pushchair. The wheels are close together which allows the chassis to turn and twist more easily than a 4 wheel pushchair. This makes them perfect for busy shops and streets. Some have small front wheels that can be swivelled and locked for extra maneuverability. The Roma Atlas has two wheels at the front that are set close together and a smart lock that allows it to be as stable as a three-wheeler while still having the same maneuverability.
A lot of our top-selling 3 wheelers come with a 4-in-1 travel systems which can convert from stroller to pram to a toddler seat or car seat carrier as your child grows.

It has Hauck airwheels that are XL, a 360-degree swivel lockable wheel and a suspension that allows it to be used on any terrain.

It's important to choose the right wheels for a pushchair depending on where it will be used the most. Moulded wheels are fine for urban use, but they won't perform well on more rough terrain. If you plan on taking your pushchair off paved surfaces choose tyres with air in them, sometimes known as pneumatic tyres capable of handling rough terrain.

Stability
You can increase the stability of your vehicle by searching for certain features. Some designs have a swiveling front wheel that is locked to provide extra stability on rough terrain. This is especially helpful if you plan to use your pushchair to jog or off-road. It will give you confidence to handle different surfaces.
Another good stability feature is suspension - this makes your buggy more comfortable for both baby and parents, especially on uneven ground. Some brands offer the option to change the tyres on their pushchairs so that they can be adapted to the terrain you will be using it on.
