The Benefits and Drawbacks of a 3 Wheeled Pushchair
If you frequently walk on rough terrain or would like to go jogging on a treadmill, a three-wheeled pushchair is the best option. They are the best option for those who need an automobile that can handle any terrain, from busy streets to forest tracks.
For greater maneuverability, opt for a design with locking or swivelling front wheels. The rear and front wheels that are larger also give you a more comfortable ride on different surfaces.
Manoeuvrability
Manoeuvrability is one of the key benefits of a 3 wheel pushchair. The wheels are positioned close together allowing the chassis to move and turn more easily than a traditional 4 wheel pushchair, making them perfect for busy streets and shopping. Some even have a small pair of front wheels that can be locked and swivelled for extra manoeuvrability when needed. The Roma Atlas has two wheels at the front that are set close together and a clever lock that allows it to be as solid as a 3-wheeler while maintaining the same maneuverability.
A majority of our top-selling 3 wheelers come with a 4-in-1 travel systems which can convert from stroller to pram to toddler seat and car seat carrier as your child grows. This is ideal if you are planning to travel together as a family, or take frequent trips to the shop. The Baby Jogger Nipper is a excellent example. It has Hauck airwheels that are XL with a 360-degree locking swivel wheel, and a suspension that allows it to be used on all terrains.
Another good choice is the ickle bubba Nipper, a pushchair that is all-terrain with excellent suspension and large puncture-proof tyres, which make it suitable for off-road excursions as well as smooth city pavements.

Stability
You can improve the stability of your vehicle by searching for certain features. For instance, some models have a swivelling front wheel that can be locked in place for extra stability on rough terrain. This is especially helpful for those who plan to use your pushchair to jog or off-road. It will give you confidence to handle different surfaces.
Another excellent stability feature is suspension. It makes your buggy more comfortable for both you and baby, especially on uneven ground. Certain brands allow you to change the tyres on their pushchairs to tailor it to the terrain you will be using it on.
Consider investing in a 3-wheeled pushchair with air-filled tires if you want a pushchair that is able to handle any terrain. These wheels will provide smoother rides over bumps and are less likely to break than solid wheels. They also permit you to ride on tracks that are not paved and can carry your buggy on different surfaces like grass, sand and mud.

Weight
The disadvantage of strollers with 3 wheels is that they are heavy, especially if you need to maneuver through rough terrain and kerbs. The larger rear wheels on a 3-wheeler also contribute to a heavier overall weight than 4 wheelers which means that you'll require more strength to lift them, especially when folding them.
If you require an infant stroller that can withstand rough terrain and tarmac that is rocky it might be worth a look.
