The Benefits and Drawbacks of a 3 Wheeled Pushchair

If you often walk across rough terrain, or wish to exercise in a pushchair with three wheels, it's the perfect choice. They are great if you want a buggy that will take on any terrain from busy high streets to tracks in the woods.

Look for models with front wheels that can be locked or swivelled. This will allow you more flexibility. The rear and front wheels that are larger give you an easier ride on various surfaces.

Manoeuvrability

A 3-wheel pushchair is a great option for those who wish to move easily. The wheels are placed close together allowing the chassis to move and turn more easily than a conventional 4 wheel pushchair, making them perfect for busy streets and shopping. Some models have smaller front wheels that are locked and swivelled for additional maneuverability. The Roma Atlas has two wheels in the front placed close together, and a clever lock that allows it to be as stable as a three-wheeler while still allowing for the same maneuverability.

A lot of our top-selling 3 wheelers come with a 4-in-1 travel systems that can change from stroller to a toddler seat or car seat carrier as your child grows. This is a great option when you intend to travel as a family, or take frequent trips to the store. One such example is the Baby Jogger Nipper pushchair that includes Hauck's XL air wheel with a 360-swivel lockable front wheel and suspension that makes it suitable for all terrains including off-road and jogging after your child is old enough to be able to join in with you!

The ickle bubba Nipper is a different option. It's an all-terrain stroller with large puncture-proof tyres and great suspension that allows it to be used for both off-road adventures and smooth city pavements. It is suitable for use from birth (in the seat unit that is reversible or with a compatible carrycot) and has a handy one-handed instant fold for boot storage and airport travel.

The wheels you choose for your pushchair is important dependent on the location you'll use it the most. Moulded wheels are great for the city, but not on rougher terrain. If you're planning to take your pushchair off of pavements choose tyres with air in them which are sometimes referred to as pneumatic tyres that are capable of handling rough terrain.

If you're looking for a pushchair designed to work in both rural and urban environments take a look at our top-rated Bugaboo Fox Five All-Terrain pushchair. It's got all the great suspension and big wheels of an all-terrain model, but it's also a brilliant urban pushchair with a super lightweight frame, an easy-to-use lockable front wheel and a single-handed fold.

Stability

There are many features you can check for that will increase the stability of your buggy. Certain models come with a swiveling front wheel that can be locked to give extra stability on rough terrain. This can be particularly useful when you're planning to be using your double pushchair 3 wheeler off-road or for running, as it gives you the confidence to take on varying surfaces easily.

Another excellent stability feature is suspension. This makes your buggy more comfortable to ride in for both you and baby especially on uneven terrain. Certain brands allow you to change the tyres on their pushchairs so that they can be adapted to the terrain you'll be using it on.

If you're in the market for a three-wheeled pushchair that will perform well on any terrain, you should consider buying a model that has air-filled tyres. They will give you an easier ride over bumps and are less susceptible to punctures than traditional wheels. They also allow you to navigate tracks that aren't paved and will carry your buggy across different surfaces like dirt, grass, sand and mud.

All-terrain pushchairs tend to be slightly wider than standard pushchairs but there are plenty of fantastic options that don't compromise stability or manoeuvrability. One of our favourites is the UPPAbaby Ridge comes with a number of impressive features which allow it to be used for off-road use and jogging when your child is of the right age. It comes with large, foam-filled never-flat tyres, adjustable suspension and a simple one-handed folding.

The Bugaboo Fox 5 is another great all-terrain stroller. It's got similar features to the UPPAbaby and has great suspension, large puncture-proof tires, and a single handed fold. It's also compatible with a large variety of car seats and can be used as an infant carrier or carrycot as well. It's a little heavier than other 3 wheel umbrella stroller-wheelers, however it's still a great option for parents who wish to have their pushchair able to go in any terrain.

Weight

The disadvantage of 3 wheel double buggy-wheeled pushchairs is that they can be quite heavy, particularly when navigating bumpy ground and kerbs. The larger rear wheels on a 3 wheel reversible stroller wheel stroller with car seat (this guy)-wheeler make up a higher overall weight than 4-wheelers which means that you'll require more strength to lift them, particularly when folding.

If you need an infant stroller that can withstand rough terrain and rocky tarmac the all-terrain model might be worth considering. These models usually have specific features like strong suspension systems and large puncture-proof tires. Manufacturers are increasingly creating all-terrain strollers with tyres that are filled with foam or gel to prevent them from going flat.

UPPAbaby's Ridge all-terrain stroller offers many features that are parent-friendly and will allow it to tackle different terrains easily. The Ridge all-terrain pushchair comes with many features for parents, including the possibility of locking its front wheel, a simple fold that is one-handed, a large basket, and an adjustable handlebar. MFM reviewer Becky noted that the Ridge was "very good on walks in woodlands, gravel tracks and market town cobbles".

iCandy is another brand that offers a variety of all-terrain pushchairs. The Core, their newest all-terrain pushchair, is suitable for infants from birth. It can be adapted to the car seat or carrycot. The iCandy Core has a host of features that will make it an excellent all-terrain stroller, including big, foam-filled never-flat tyres and a fantastic suspension system. The Core is a little heavier than some other pushchairs that are all-terrain, but it's still light enough to be maneuverable on more rough terrain.

Folding

All-terrain models are a good option if you want a pushchair to handle rough terrain. This type of pushchair will have large wheels both front and back to help tackle rough terrain off-road. They'll often have a more durable suspension as well as larger puncture-resistant tyres to avoid them getting clogged with grass, sticks or mud.

A good example of this type of pushchair is the Mountain Buggy Ridge. This all-terrain model comes with a number of amazing features, such as a smooth suspension, spacious basket, one-handed steering, and a quick, one-handed folding. It also works with a car seat and carrycot (with adaptors), so it can be used in as early as 6 months.

Other all-terrain pushchairs include Bugaboo Fox 5, which is a three-wheeler with truly impressive off-road features. It has a massive 10kg basket, which can be folded with one hand. The handlebar can be adjusted with just one hand. It also has an adjustable front wheel that locks and foam-filled, never-flat tyres, so you don't have to fret about punctures on rough terrain.

The GB Maris is a new, eye-catching all-terrain pushchair which was unveiled at the Kind + Jugend trade fair. It's designed for children with moderate to light mobility needs.
