The Benefits and Drawbacks of a 3 wheel parent facing pushchair Wheeled Pushchair

A three-wheeled pushchair is ideal if you walk regularly on rough terrain or jog. They are ideal if you need a buggy that can be able to handle any terrain, from busy high streets to tracks in the woods.

Look for designs with front wheels that can be locked or turned. This will allow you more flexibility. Larger wheels on the front and back offer a more comfortable ride on varying surfaces.

Manoeuvrability

Manoeuvrability is one of the main advantages of a 3 wheel pushchair. The wheels are set close to each other, allowing the chassis to move and turn much more easily than a conventional 4 wheel pushchair, making them perfect for busy streets and shopping. Some even have a pair of front wheels that can be locked and swivelled to provide additional maneuverability when required. The Roma Atlas, for example, has two wheels positioned close together in front and an innovative lock that can swivel to give the flexibility of a 3-wheeler, but with added stability.

Many of our most loved lightweight 3 wheel buggy wheelers can be transformed from pram, stroller, car-seat and toddler seats as your child grows. This is ideal if you intend to travel as a family, or make frequent trips to the store. The Baby Jogger Nipper is a excellent example. It has Hauck XL airwheels and a 360-degree lockable swivel wheel and a suspension that allows it to be used on any terrain.

The wheels you choose for your pushchair is crucial depending on where you'll use it the most. Moulded wheels work well for city use but will not perform well on more rough terrain. If you plan on taking your pushchair off paved surfaces choose tyres with air in them which are sometimes referred to as pneumatic tyres that are capable of coping with rough terrain.

Stability

Certain models come with a swiveling front wheel that is locked to give extra stability on rough terrain.

Some brands also offer the option to swap out different tyres so that you can alter the performance of your pushchair to suit the type of terrain you will be riding it on.

Weight

The drawback of 3 wheeled strollers is that they can be heavy, especially when you have to navigate rough terrain and kerbs. The larger rear wheels of a 3-wheeler add to the overall weight, making it heavier than a 4-wheeler. This means that you will need more strength to lift them.
