3 Wheel Pushchairs
Three wheel pushchairs are perfect for those who are a jogger or would like a more versatile stroller. In contrast to jogging buggies, which typically have large wheels specifically made for pavements, three wheel prams with air-filled tyres can tackle the woods and market town cobbles with ease.
Having large wheels, however, can make some models heavy and bulky make sure it folds down compactly and doesn't take up all your boot space.
Stability
Parents are often put off by stories about three-wheel pushchairs falling over. However, this is typically due to cheap or poorly constructed models. When selecting a 3-wheeler it is important to check how stable the buggy feels by trying it out in person. It is also important to consider how quickly you can change direction with the front wheel and how easily it can be done.
If you're planning to use your pushchair off-roading, opt for a model that has air-filled tyres (sometimes called pneumatic tyres) which can withstand rough terrain. These tyres will be more resistant to bumps and sand on muddy or gravel roads than the plastic wheels. They provide a smoother ride for your child. Some models come with a lockable wheel on the front that can be used for rough terrain.
All-terrain buggies may weigh more than typical four-wheeled buggies. You may want to take into consideration the amount of space they'll take in the trunk of your car and whether you'll be able to lift them up and down the stairs after they've been folded. They can also be quite heavy to lift and move, so you should try the one on your own to determine how much effort you'll have to put in to get the buggy off the ground.
