3 Wheeled Pushchairs
3 wheeled pushchairs are ideal choice for mothers who like to walk over different terrains. These buggies are easier to maneuver and more stable on rough terrain because they have larger front wheels.
If you intend to use your buggy on surfaces other than the paved ones, you should choose one that has air-filled tires (also known as pneumatic). They are more efficient and puncture-proof on surfaces that are not paved.
Stability
The bigger the wheels of your pushchair the better able they are to be able to handle rough terrain and even the ground. It is because larger wheels are more likely to skid over bumps and dips. They also offer a more comfortable ride to your child. The downside is that the extra wheels can take up space in your car's boot, and some models of pushchairs with large front wheels may need to have them removed if you want to keep it in a flat place.
All-terrain pushchairs are designed to handle anything from busy high-street strolls to woodland walks, and come equipped with features that enable them to do this, such as robust suspension and tyres with puncture-proof treads that are large. These models are usually more expensive but if your child's pushchair is used off the beaten path regularly, they may be worth the cost.
If you intend to remove your pushchair from pavements, you should consider opting for a pushchair with air-filled tyres (sometimes called pneumatic tyres) as these are much better suited to rough terrain than tyres made of solid rubber. These tyres are also less likely to break than those made of metal or hard plastic.
Some pushchairs let users to remove the front wheel when not in use, which makes them more compact to store - ideal in the event that you have a small car boot. Some models have a front wheel that can be locked into place to give you extra stability when on rough terrain. It's worth checking the ease of you to use a pushchair with this feature before you buy.
If you're thinking about adding an additional seat, parent-facing unit, or car seat adaptors to your pushchair it's important to check how it is easy to switch these components and fold/unfold the pushchair with them attached - especially as you might have to do this with a child on board. Some models are designed to be quick and easy to change between these configurations, while others might require more patience.
Manoeuvrability
A 3-wheel pushchair is often more maneuverable and manage than a four-wheeler, with the single wheel on the front making it easy to navigate over bumps and rough terrain. Many models come with suspension systems that absorb shocks and provide your child with a smooth ride. MFM's Kath test-driven a three-wheeled buggie and was impressed by its ability to handle uneven pavements, cobblestones, and dirt tracks. She was able to climb up and down kerbs and the wheels were fast to maneuver through grass.
There are three kinds of 3 wheeled pushchairs: strollers (also known as joggers) and models with all-terrain surfaces and all-terrain models. Strollers have smaller wheels and shorter frames that are better suited to urban environments, whereas Joggers are fitted with big wheels and are specifically designed for off-road use. They typically feature a handbrake and adjustable handlebars, and are great for tackling off-road hikes.
All-terrain strollers are popular with parents who want to explore the countryside and take advantage of the outdoors. They usually come with bigger, more durable wheels than standard pushchairs. They are ideal for rocky terrain and can be used from the time of birth. However, you may require adaptors for your car seat to attach an infant car seat.
Some pushchairs appear to be 3-wheelers but are actually four wheels. Two small wheels are placed close together in front instead of the traditional central pair. This provides manoeuvrability with the stability of a four-wheeler.
Some 3-wheeled pushchairs have a lockable and swivelable front wheel, which makes them more easily maneuverable. This is particularly useful if you encounter difficult surfaces frequently, since you can avoid getting stuck or having obstacles to navigate around. Some all-terrain pushchairs are also equipped with foam-filled 'never flat' tyres that do not require pumping up, so they're more comfortable and convenient for long walks or regular use. It's worth noting that these types of pushchairs are generally heavier and bigger than other pushchairs and it's crucial to think about how you'll be transporting or storing them when choosing the model you want to use.
Weight
Generally speaking
3 wheel double pushchair-wheel pushchairs tend be heavier and bigger than standard pushchairs, particularly when they are equipped with large rear wheels. It can be difficult to lift a pushchair once it is folded, for instance when loading into the boot of a car or navigating steps. This may also make the pushchair feel heavy when you are out and about, and may hinder your ability to manoeuvre through small spaces or aisles in stores.
All-terrain pushchairs are made to withstand a variety of different terrains, such as rough and uneven terrain as well as mud and gravel trails. These pushchairs are equipped with large, puncture-proof tires and a sturdy suspension to provide a comfortable ride for the child. These pushchairs are generally expensive when compared with regular pushchairs.
All-terrain pushchairs are an excellent option if you live in the country or take your child on regular walks in woods or country parks. These pushchairs are built to be able to handle a variety of terrains, and will feature large tyres on the front and
rear facing 3 wheel stroller. These pushchairs are usually a good option for muddy or wet weather However, we suggest making sure you check your tyres regularly to avoid air bubbles and flat spots.
The iCandy Core, for example, is an all-terrain pushchair that checks off a number of boxes. It comes with a large basket that can hold up to 10kg, a one handed fold and adjustable handlebars. The large tyres are filled with foam and never flat, so you don't have to worry about punctures or losing air pressure. The seat is orientated to the world and suitable for babies from birth, and can be used with an infant carrycot or infant carrier.
The Special Tomato Jogger is another option. It is lightweight and extremely mobile design. It's a great option for parents who are active and like to go for walks or jogs along with their child and comes with suspension that will ensure a comfortable ride on different kinds of terrain. The fabric can be removed from the frame and washed in cold water with a machine.
Tyres
The tyres on a
3 wheeled buggies-wheeled pushchair are usually larger than those on a four-wheeled pram. This helps it to navigate off-road terrain. For instance, the UPPAbaby Ridge comes with large, foam-filled 'never flat' tyres and suspension systems that make it great for long walks and rough ground. It's also designed to jog once your child is old enough. This is due to the 360-degree lockable front wheel and an adjustable suspension.
However, larger tyres can increase the overall weight of the pushchair. You'll have to take this into consideration when choosing your model. You should also consider whether you'd like a pushchair with removable wheels to make it easier to store in your car boot. MFM reviewer Becky liked this feature because it made navigating around supermarket corners more convenient.
