The Benefits and Drawbacks of a 3 Wheeled Pushchair

A three-wheeled pushchair is perfect if you walk regularly on rough terrain or run. They are the best option for those who need an automobile that can handle any terrain from busy streets to forest tracks.

For more manoeuvrability, look for a model with locks or swivelling front wheels. Front and rear wheels that are bigger provide the most comfortable ride on various surfaces.

Manoeuvrability

Manoeuvrability is among the key benefits of a 3 wheel pushchair. The wheels are positioned close together allowing the chassis to rotate and turn much more easily than a conventional 4 wheel pushchair, making them ideal for busy streets and shopping. Some models have smaller front wheels that can be swivelled and locked for extra maneuverability. The Roma Atlas, for example, has two wheels positioned close to each other at the front, and a clever swivel lock that gives the flexibility of a 3 wheel buggies-wheeler with added stability.

Many of our best-selling 3 wheelers are also 4-in-1 travel systems which can change from stroller to toddler seat and car seat carrier as your child grows. This is ideal if you're planning on travelling with your family or on frequent shopping trips. One example is the Baby Jogger Nipper pushchair that includes Hauck's XL air wheel, a 360 swivel lockable front wheel and a suspension system that makes it suitable for all terrains, including off-road and jogging after your child is old enough to join in with you!
