See What Three Wheeler Pushchairs Tricks The Celebs Are Using
Three Wheeler Pushchairs
Three wheeler pushchairs can be an ideal choice for active parents who love to jog, or those looking for strollers that can take on different terrains. They are easy to maneuver and fold neatly for storage or transport.
They are simple to maneuver in tight spaces and corner supermarkets are a breeze thanks to their swivel wheel on the front. Make sure you choose models that have air-filled tyres to overcome bumpy tracks and pavements.
Strollers
There are many strollers available that are designed to meet certain requirements. Some are designed for multiple babies (twins or a small age gap) and others are suitable for singletons and the rest are designed to accommodate children up to the age of four years. Certain of these products come with safety guidelines which must be followed. For example any child's seat or cot that is carried must be secured properly and should not extend further than 20cm away from the frame's edge.
Three-wheel pushchairs are easier to maneuver because they only have one front wheel. This makes them perfect for narrow streets or aisles of stores where space is scarce. Consider an all-terrain stroller when you intend to use it in different environments. Designed with tough tyres they can take on bumps and rough terrain more easily than the regular stroller. Some models even come with suspension to help ensure a more comfortable ride for your toddler or baby.
Some all-terrain buggies are also designed to be used as jogging buggies. This is a great option for parents who want to stay active and enjoy a vigorous walk or jog with their child. These pushchairs are larger in frame, tyres and wheels than the stroller. They could also have a handbrake and adjustable handlebar.
It's worth taking your stroller for an experiment to see how it handles and how easily it can be controlled. You'll have to decide if you prefer foam-filled or air-filled tyres. Air-filled tyres are typically more durable but are prone to punctures and you'll need to have an repair kit on hand.

Joggers
If you're a buggy jogger or buggy runner, you'll need a 3 wheel stroller for running-wheeler stroller specifically designed for running. These pushchairs come with larger wheels and a suspension system to deal with bumps and uneven sidewalks. They are also more heavy and bulkier than standard strollers, making them unsuitable for use in everyday situations unless you intend to go for a regular run.

It is possible depending on your child's age, to easily transition from a carrycot to a jogging carriage. It is recommended to talk with your pediatric physician prior to purchasing a jogging stroller particularly if your doctor suggests waiting until your child is 6 months of age.
Another option is to buy a jogger and then add to it a car seat adapter. The phil&teds Sport buggy, for example is able to be converted into a 2-in-1 system with an infant seat, allowing you to take your child on runs or walks from the first day.

All-terrain
All-terrain prams are an excellent choice if you enjoy walking off the beaten track, live in rural areas, or would like to run with your baby. The top all-terrain strollers have large, rugged wheels that can withstand bumpy terrain and a great suspension to ensure your child's ride is comfortable.
These are usually larger than standard pushchairs and may be difficult to store in the trunk of your car. They also tend to be more expensive than other pushchairs so do bear this in mind when you are shopping.
Find a model that has a height-adjustable handlebar which can help in the event that you and your partner are different heights. You should consider whether you need a wrist strap to stop it from rolling off on hills or slopes. Some models are designed with a fixed front wheel which will be easier to control if you want to use it for jogging. Some models have a swivel front wheel that can be locked into place to help you manoeuvre on uneven surfaces.
The type of tire is equally important. Many all-terrain pushchairs use air-filled tyres that provide an easy ride, but they can puncture easily. Some come with an inflated tyre that is filled with gel or foam which are less likely to puncture, but can increase the weight of the pushchair.
A good quality pushchair that is all-terrain will have a large, well-stocked basket which will be handy to carry your baby's shopping. Some models have a compact, one-handed fold, which allows for easy storage when not in use. They usually come with a raincover and footmuff included as well.

Folding
A few of the most popular pushchairs fold. They are simple to store at home, and can easily be inserted into the car's boot. This is perfect for cars with boot spaces that are small, or if you plan to travel frequently with your family.
There are a variety of folds, so pick one that is appropriate to your lifestyle and preferences. For instance some of the most recent buggy models feature a revolutionary auto-fold that folds down by itself with a simple press of a button. This allows you to hold your child as well as other children or bags using both hands. It's also ideal for parents who have back problems or are recovering from C-sections.
Some models are designed to fold more traditionally and with the seat on, so they'll be heavier and won't fit as well in your car or boot. Certain models require two hands or more to fold. This could be a problem for parents who want to hold their child while folding.
It doesn't matter if you prefer an easy umbrella fold or a more intricate mechanism, it's worth checking that the stroller you select will be able to deal with the terrain you'll be riding it on. For example, if you're going to be on a lot of cobblestones or gravel tracks, make sure the wheels are made of air-filled tyres to offer the most comfortable ride for your child.
If you plan to use your pushchair mostly on roads that are paved or pavements and roads, then the majority of three-wheelers have moulded tires that will give your baby an easy ride. However, if you'll be taking your little one off-road or over rough terrain, go for a model with a set of removable guards for mud and a quick-release front wheel to keep your pushchair looking its best.
