3 Wheel Pushchairs
Three wheel pushchairs are ideal for anyone who is a jogger or wants a more versatile stroller. Three-wheel prams, with air-filled tires instead of the big wheels commonly used on jogging buggies made for roads that are paved are able to navigate through woodland trails or cobbled streets.
Certain models are heavy and bulky due to their large wheels. Check that they fold compactly and don't occupy the entire space in your boot.
Stability
Parents are often put off by the stories of three-wheel pushchairs falling over. However, this is typically because of poor or poorly built models. When you are choosing a 3-wheeler, it is crucial to test how stable the buggy feels by trying it out in person. Also, you should consider how it is simple to change direction or swerve with the front wheel only, and how quickly it is possible to do it.
If you plan to use your pushchair on uneven terrain, choose an option with tires filled with air (also called pneumatic tyres). They can take the bumps and lumps that come with gravel tracks or muddy pathways. These tyres are more resilient to bumps and sand on muddy paths or gravel roads than the plastic wheels. They provide a smoother ride for your child. Some models come with the option of locking the front wheel, which can be used when riding on rough terrain too.
All-terrain buggies can be heavier than standard buggies that have four wheels. You might want to consider the amount of space they will take up in the car's boot and if you'll be able to lift them up and down stairs once folded. They can also be quite heavy to lift and move, so you should try one in person if possible to gauge how much effort you'll need to put in to get the buggy off the ground.
