The Benefits and Drawbacks of a 3 wheel travel stroller Wheeled Pushchair
A three-wheeled pushchair is ideal for those who walk a lot on rough terrain or run. They are a great option if want a buggy that will handle all types of terrain, from busy high streets to woodland tracks.
For greater maneuverability, opt for a model with locks or swivelling front wheels. Larger wheels on the front and back also offer a more comfortable ride over varying surfaces.
Manoeuvrability
A 3 wheel jogger-wheel pushchair is a great option for those looking to move easily. The wheels are placed close to each other, which allows the chassis to move and turn more easily than a traditional four wheel pushchair, making them perfect for busy streets and shopping. Some have small front wheels that are swivelled and locked for extra maneuverability. The Roma Atlas, for example is equipped with two wheels that are positioned closely together at the front and an ingenious swivel lock that gives the ability to maneuver like three wheels, with added stability.
A lot of our top-selling 3 wheel stroller reversible seat wheelers come with a 4-in-1 travel systems that convert from stroller to pram to toddler seat and car seat carrier as your child grows.

One example is the Baby Jogger Nipper pushchair that comes with Hauck’s XL air wheels, a 360 swivel lockable front wheel and an adjustable suspension system that allows it to be used on all terrains including off-road and jogging after your child is old enough to join in with you!

The wheels you choose for your pushchair is crucial depending on where you’ll be using it the most. Moulded wheels are fine for city life but won’t perform well on more rough terrain.

Another good stability feature is suspension. This will make your baby’s buggy more comfortable for both baby and parents, especially on uneven ground. Some brands even offer the option to swap out different tyres to allow you to tailor the performance of your pushchair to suit the terrain you will be taking it on.
