11 "Faux Pas" That Are Actually Okay To Make With Your 3 Wheeled Pushchair

The Benefits and Drawbacks of a 3 Wheeled Pushchair

A three-wheeled buggy is ideal for those who regularly walk on uneven terrain or jog. These are the best 3 wheel stroller if you need a pushchair that can tackle any terrain from busy roads to forest tracks.

Find models with front wheels that can be locked or turned. This will allow you more flexibility. Front and rear wheels that are larger also provide the most comfortable riding on different surfaces.

Manoeuvrability

Manoeuvrability is among the main advantages of a 3 wheel pushchair. The wheels are placed close to each other, which allows the chassis to turn and twist more easily than a traditional four wheel pushchair, making them ideal for busy streets and shops. Some have small front wheels that can be locked and swivelled for additional maneuverability. The Roma Atlas has two wheels in the front set close together and a lock that allows it to be as stable as a three-wheeler, while still allowing for the same maneuverability.

Many of our most loved 3 wheelers can be transformed from stroller, pram, car seat, and toddler seat as your child develops. This is great if you're planning on travelling with your family or taking frequent shopping trips. One example is the Baby Jogger Nipper pushchair that comes with Hauck's XL air wheels, a 360 swivel lockable front wheel and suspension that allows it to be used on all terrains, including off-road and jogging once your baby is old enough to be able to join in with you!

The ickle Bubba Nipper is another alternative. It's an all-terrain stroller, with large puncture-proof tyres and a fantastic suspension that allows it to be used for both off-road excursions and smooth city pavements. It is suitable for use from birth (in the seat unit that is reversible or with a carrycot that is compatible) and features a handy one-handed fold that is ideal for storage in the boot and airport travel.

It's important to choose the correct wheels for a pushchair depending on where it will be used the most. Moulded wheels are great for city use but will not perform well on more rough terrain. If you plan to get your pushchair off roads, you should consider pneumatic tyres. They can withstand rough terrain.

For a pushchair that's designed to handle both rural and urban environments take a look at our top-rated Bugaboo Fox Five All-Terrain pushchair. It has all the suspension and large wheels you'd expect from an all-terrain pushchair, but it's also a city pushchair that's super lightweight with the option of locking the front wheel.

Stability

You can improve the stability of your vehicle by searching for certain features. Certain models come with a swiveling front wheel that can be locked to give additional stability when driving on rough terrain. This is particularly useful if you plan to use your pushchair for jogging or off-road. It will allow you to confidently handle different surfaces.

Another great stability feature is suspension. This can make your buggy far more comfortable to ride in for both the baby and you especially on uneven terrain. Some brands even offer the option to swap out different tyres so that you can tailor the performance of your pushchair to the type of terrain you will be taking it on.

If you're looking for a 3 wheeled pushchair that will perform well on any terrain, think about investing in a model with air-filled tyres. These wheels will offer a smoother ride on bumps, and are less likely to be punctured than solid wheels. They also permit you to navigate tracks that aren't paved and will transport your buggy across various surfaces, including grass, sand, and mud.

All-terrain pushchairs are generally slightly larger than standard models but there are plenty of great options to choose from that don't compromise maneuverability or stability. One of our favourites, the UPPAbaby Ridge comes with numerous impressive features which make it suitable for off-road use and jogging when your child reaches a certain age. It has large, foam-filled, never-flat tyres with adjustable suspension, as well as a quick one-handed fold.

The Bugaboo Fox 5 is another excellent stroller that is all-terrain. It's got similar features as the UPPAbaby and comes with an excellent suspension, large puncture proof tires, and a single handed fold. It's also compatible with a broad selection of car seats and is able to accommodate a carrycot or infant carrier too. It is a bit heavier than other 3 wheel jogger stroller-wheelers, but it's a great choice for parents who want to use their pushchair on all types of terrain.

Weight

The drawback of 3 wheeled strollers is that they can be heavy, especially when you have to navigate bumpy terrain or kerbs. The larger rear wheels of a 3 wheel running buggy-wheeler contribute to the overall weight, which is heavier than the 4-wheeler. This means you'll need more strength when lifting them.

If you're looking for a pushchair that can handle rough terrain and rocky tarmac, an all-terrain model could be worth a look. These models usually have special features such as a sturdy suspension system and large puncture-proof tires. Manufacturers are increasingly creating all-terrain strollers equipped with tyres which are filled with foam or gel to stop them from becoming flat.

UPPAbaby's Ridge all-terrain pushchair has a great choice of parent-friendly features that will help to conquer all kinds of terrain with ease. The Ridge all-terrain pushchair is equipped with many features for parents, including the possibility of locking its front wheel, a simple one handed fold with a large basket and a movable handlebar. MFM reviewer Becky said that the Ridge is "very suitable for walking in the woods and gravel roads as well as market town cobbles".

iCandy is another brand that provides a variety of all-terrain pushchairs. Their latest all-terrain model the Core is suitable from birth and can be used with a carrycot as well as car seat adaptors. The iCandy Core has a host of features that make it a fantastic all-terrain stroller, including big foam-filled, never-flat tyres as well as an excellent suspension system. The Core is heavier than other strollers for all-terrain use yet light enough to maneuver on rougher terrain.

Folding

If you're looking for a stroller that can handle the most difficult of terrain, you may want to consider an all-terrain model. This type of pushchair will come with large wheels both in the front and back to help tackle rough terrain off-road. Often they'll have more robust suspension too and larger puncture-proof tyres to stop them from becoming clogged with sticks, grass or mud.

One excellent example of this type of pushchair is the Mountain Buggy Ridge. It's an all-terrain model that comes with a variety of impressive features like smooth suspension, a spacious basket, one-handed steering and a quick, one-handed fold. It's also compatible with a carrycot and car seat (with adaptors) so can be used from birth or from six months with the world-facing seat unit.

Other all-terrain pushchairs include the Bugaboo Fox 5, which is a 3-wheeler that has some amazing off-road features. It has a large 10kg basket that can be folded in just one hand. The handlebar can also be adjusted with just one hand. It also has the option of locking the front wheel as well as tyres that are filled with foam and never flat so you don't have to worry about punctures in rough terrain.

Lastly, the GB Maris is a new, eye-catching all-terrain pushchair which was unveiled at the Kind + Jugend trade fair. It's made for children with moderate to mild positioning needs and offers soft, adjustable components with a reclining seat as well as an array of colors. The front wheel is lockable and has a footbrake to ensure safety and control.
