The Benefits and Drawbacks of a 3 Wheeled Pushchair
A three-wheeled pushchair is perfect for those who walk a lot on rough terrain or jog. They are great if you need a buggy that can handle all types of terrain, from busy high streets to tracks in the woods.
For more manoeuvrability, look for a model that has locking or swivelling front wheels. Larger wheels, both front and back can provide an easier ride on different terrains.
Manoeuvrability
A 3 wheel pushchair is a great choice for those who want to be able to move easily. The wheels are set close to each other, which allows the chassis to rotate and turn more easily than a conventional four wheel pushchair. This makes them ideal for busy streets and shopping. Some have small front wheels that can be swivelled and locked for extra maneuverability. The Roma Atlas, for example, has two wheels positioned close together in front, and a clever swivel lock that gives it all the maneuverability of a lightest 3 wheel stroller-wheeler, but with added stability.
A majority of our top-selling 3 wheelers are also 4-in-1 travel systems that can change from stroller to a toddler seat or car seat carrier as your child grows. This is ideal when you plan to travel as a family, or take frequent trips to the store. The Baby Jogger Nipper is a perfect illustration. It has Hauck airwheels that are XL and a 360-degree lockable swivel wheel, and a suspension which lets it be used on any terrain.
The ickle Bubba Nipper is another alternative. It’s an all-terrain stroller that has large puncture-proof tyres as well as a great suspension that allows it to go on both off-road adventures as well as smooth city pavements. It can be used from the beginning with the seat that can be reversible or carrycot compatible. It also comes with an easy fold that can be folded with one hand for storage in the boot and for travel to airports.
Choosing the right wheels for your pushchair is important depending on where you’ll be using it most. Moulded wheels are ideal for the city, but not on more rough terrain. If you plan to take your pushchair off the paved surfaces, choose pneumatic tyres. They can handle rough terrain.
If you’re in search of a pushchair that can be used in both rural and urban locations, then look no further than our top-rated Bugaboo Fox 5 All Terrain pushchair. It has all the suspension and large wheels you’d expect from a pushchair designed for all-terrain use, but it’s also a city pushchair that’s extremely light and has a lockable front wheel.
Stability
There are many options to look out for that will improve the stability of your buggy. Certain models have an swiveling front wheel that is locked to provide additional stability when driving on rough terrain. This is particularly useful for those who plan to use your pushchair for jogging or off-road. It will give you confidence to handle different surfaces.
Another good stability feature is suspension. It can make your buggy far more comfortable for both the baby and you, especially on uneven ground. Some brands even provide the option of swapping out tyres of different brands so that you can tailor the performance of your pushchair to suit the terrain you’ll be taking it on.
Consider purchasing a 3-wheeled pushchair that has air-filled tires if you want a pushchair that can handle any terrain. These wheels provide a smoother ride on bumps, and are less likely to be punctured than solid wheels. They also permit you to tackle non-paved tracks and can carry your buggy on various surfaces, including grass, sand, and mud.
All-terrain strollers tend to be bigger than standard strollers, but there are still many great options that don’t compromise on maneuverability or stability. One of our top picks is the UPPAbaby Ridge which has an array of amazing features that allow it to be used for off-road walking as well as jogging (once your child is old enough).

However, it’s still a great option for parents who wish to have their pushchair equipped to travel across any terrain.
Weight
The disadvantage of strollers with 3 wheels is that they’re heavy, especially if you have to navigate bumpy terrain or kerbs. The larger rear wheels on a 3-wheeler also make up a higher overall weight than 4 wheelers which means that you’ll require more strength to lift them, particularly when folding.
All-terrain models are an excellent option for those who want a pushchair that can cope with rough terrain or rocky tarmac. These models typically come with specific features like strong suspension systems and large puncture-proof tires. There are a lot of brands that are designing all-terrain strollers equipped with tyres which are filled with gel or foam to stop them from becoming flat.

It can be converted to a car seat or a carrycot. The iCandy Core has a host of features that will make it an excellent all-terrain pushchair, including large foam-filled, never-flat tyres as well as a great suspension system. The Core is heavier than other strollers for all-terrain use however it is lightweight enough to travel in rough terrain.
Folding

This type of pushchair features large wheels both on the front and rear to help it navigate rough off-road terrain.
