Three Wheel Pushchairs – Why You Should Consider One
Whether you’re a fitness fanatic looking for a jogging buggy or a parent wanting a stroller that can be used for all purposes, three wheel pushchairs offer a world of possibilities. Here’s why you should consider one.
If you intend to use your stroller in rural and urban areas pick a stroller that has pneumatic tyres. These will perform better on non-paved roads.
They’re simple to maneuver
Whether you’re out for an excursion on a country trail or taking on the city’s main streets, three-wheel pushchairs are easy to manoeuvre. They have one large front wheel and a single handlebar making them more maneuverable than four-wheeled models. The wheels are also often larger, resulting in more suspension and a smoother ride on rough ground. There are also three-wheel pushchairs that have a handbrake, which can be operated using just two fingers and helps you to slow down when climbing steep hills.
Select a model with pneumatic (or air-filled) tyres if you want a buggy to perform well both in rural and urban environments. They are able to handle tracks that aren’t paved better and easily navigate over mud and sand. The best 3 wheel travel system all-terrain strollers will also include a front 3 wheel running stroller that can be locked for safety on extremely rough terrain.
You’ll also want to check that your new buggy is suitable for newborns and young children – some models have an adjustable seat that can be used from birth, whereas others will only be suitable for children who are six months old. Verify compatibility of any second seats or buggie boards and car seats if you’re looking to transport more than one child.
A lot of three-wheel pushchairs are lightweight, which makes them much easier to lift once folded and easier to fit into the car boot. However, the large rear wheels on these models can make them quite wide when they’re open, so you might need to take extra care when walking along narrow roads or aisles in stores. If you are worried about this, you should choose one with a quick-release wheel at the front, which will reduce storage dimensions. This feature is offered on a few UPPAbaby strollers as well as other all-terrain models. This is important, especially if you plan to use your pushchair on public transport or a small car boot.
Off-road vehicles are designed to be used in these conditions.
If you are a fan of a stroll up the farm track, or you spend a lot of time walking through rough fields and rough paths then a three-wheeled pushchair could be the perfect solution. Brands such as Mountain Buggy and Out n’ About have designed these rugged pushchairs with off-road capabilities with a view to walking in the woods, on beaches or country paths. They’re great for tackling rough terrain, and feature particular features, like a lockable front wheel with foam-filled tyres that never flat and true suspension.

Some come with additional accessories, like a ride-on board, which makes them a fantastic option for children who don’t walk yet but would love to be part of the family fun.
Other all-terrain strollers have an exclusive “Swivel to Go” system that allows the user to rotate the main wheels while keeping the front wheel fixed. This makes them more stable over tough terrain and also makes them easier to manoeuvre in tight spaces. They’re also a good choice for those who reside in a hilly region, as the extra handbrake on the handle can assist you in slowing down steep descents.
Some pushchairs have the ability to rotate their rear wheels, which can be beneficial on uneven surfaces. The downside is that the pushchairs will have a bigger footprint, which makes it difficult to fit into certain cars.

It’s easy to fold them
Three-wheel pushchairs are typically lighter and more compact than conventional models. They are also easier to maneuver and are therefore suitable for urban environments, where they can easily navigate tracks that are paved and pavements. It is important to keep in mind that the wheels of three-wheeled pushchairs are not designed to handle rough terrain, and they are prone to punctures if they are not constructed using high-quality materials. It is therefore crucial to choose a model with an swivelling front wheel as well as air-filled tyres that can withstand bumps and uneven surfaces.
Another aspect to consider is how far you’d like to take your baby in your tri-wheel buggy. If you intend to travel long distances with your child, select a chassis that is larger and has a solid suspension. This will ensure that your child will be comfortable during the entire journey.

It also has an impressive set of features for all-terrain, including a large wheel and suspension which allows for a smooth, agile movement.

They have one handlebar and the front wheels can be locked to ensure they can handle rough terrain. They also have adjustable suspensions to allow them to perform their best on different terrains.
If you’re going to be driving your buggy off-road, choose a model with air-filled tyres. These are able to cope with most terrains and will allow you to get across rocks, grass, sand and mud easily without getting stuck. Look for tyres with no punctures.

If you’re using public transport, you’ll need to make sure it fits in the trunk of your car. Certain models can be folded by hand, which is ideal if you are travelling alone or with a child.
