Guide To 3 Wheeled Pushchair: The Intermediate Guide For 3 Wheeled Pushchair
The Benefits and Drawbacks of a 3 Wheeled Pushchair
A three-wheeled pushchair is perfect for those who walk a lot on rough terrain or jog. They are ideal if you want a buggy that will take on any terrain from busy high streets to woodland tracks.
Find models with front wheels that can be locked or swivelled. This gives you more flexibility. Larger wheels both front and back also offer a more comfortable ride over different surfaces.
Manoeuvrability
A 3-wheel pushchair is a great option for those who wish to be able to maneuver effortlessly. The wheels are placed close to each other, allowing the chassis to turn and twist much more easily than a traditional four wheel pushchair, making them ideal for busy streets and shopping. Some even have a pair of front wheels that can be locked and swivelled for extra maneuverability when needed. The Roma Atlas, for example, has two wheels positioned close to each other at the front, and an ingenious lock that swivels to give it all the maneuverability of three wheels, with added stability.
A lot of our most well-loved 3 wheel tandem stroller wheelers are able to be converted from stroller, pram, toddler seat and car-seat carrier as your child grows. This is great if you're planning on travelling with your family or taking frequent trips to the shops. The Baby Jogger Nipper is a excellent illustration. It comes with Hauck airwheels XL with a 360-degree locking swivel wheel, and a suspension that allows it to be used on all terrains.
The ickle bubbling Nipper is a different option. It's an all-terrain stroller that has large puncture-proof tyres as well as a great suspension that allows it to go on both off-road excursions and smooth city pavements. It can be used from the beginning with the reversible seat, or carrycot compatible. It also has the ability to fold with one hand for easy storage in the boot and for travel to airports.
It is crucial to select the correct wheels for your pushchair based on the location it is most likely to be used. Moulded wheels are fine for urban use, but they won't do well on rougher ground. If you plan on taking your pushchair off of pavements choose tyres with air in them also known as pneumatic tyres capable of handling rough terrain.
If you're looking for a model that can be used in both urban and rural settings, then check out our top-rated Bugaboo Fox 5 All Terrain pushchair. It comes with all the suspension and big wheels you'd expect from an all-terrain pushchair but it's also an urban pushchair that's super lightweight with a lockable front wheel.
Stability
There are many features that you can look for that will increase the stability of your buggy. Some designs have an swiveling front wheel that can be locked to provide extra stability when riding on rough terrain. This is especially helpful if you plan to use your pushchair to jog or off-road. It will allow you to confidently handle different surfaces.
Suspension is a great feature for stability. It makes your pushchair more comfortable to ride, both for your child and you especially on rough terrain. Some brands offer the option to alter the tyres of their pushchairs, allowing it to be tailored to the terrain you'll be using it on.
If you're in the market for a three-wheeled pushchair that is able to perform on any terrain, you should consider investing in a model with air-filled tyres. They provide a more comfortable ride over bumps and are less susceptible to punctures than traditional wheels. These wheels permit you to ride your buggy on unpaved surfaces and can be used on a variety of surfaces that include grass, sand, and mud.
All-terrain pushchairs are generally slightly larger than standard pushchairs, but there are some fantastic options that won't compromise on stability or manoeuvrability. One of our top picks is the UPPAbaby Ridge which comes with numerous impressive features that make it suitable for off-road and running (once your child is old enough). These include large, foam-filled tyres that are never flat and adjustable suspension as well as an easy one-handed fold.
Another excellent all-terrain pushchair is the Bugaboo Fox 5 - this features the same all-terrain capabilities as the UPPAbaby Ridge.

It can be slightly heavier than some of the other 3 wheel parent facing pushchair-wheelers but is still a great option for parents looking to take their pushchair across all terrains.
Weight
The downside of 3 wheeled strollers is that they can be heavy, particularly if you have to navigate bumpy terrain and kerbs. The larger rear wheels of a 3 wheel running stroller-wheeler increase the overall weight, which is higher than a 4-wheeler. This means you will need more strength to lift them.
If you're looking for a pushchair that is able to handle rough terrain and rocky tarmac the all-terrain model might be worth considering. These models usually have specific features like strong suspension systems and large puncture-proof tires. Brands are increasingly designing all-terrain strollers with tyres that are filled with foam or gel to prevent them from going flat.
UPPAbaby's Ridge all-terrain pushchair comes with an excellent selection of parent-friendly features that will help it to tackle many types of terrain easily. The Ridge all-terrain pushchair is equipped with many parent-friendly features, including the ability to lock its front wheel, an easy fold with one hand with a large basket and an adjustable handlebar. MFM reviewer Becky said that the Ridge is "very suitable for woodland walks and gravel roads, as well as market town cobbles".
iCandy is another brand that provides a variety of all-terrain pushchairs. Their latest all-terrain model the Core, is suitable from birth and can be coupled with a carrycot or car seat adaptors. The iCandy Core is packed with features that make it a great stroller that is all-terrain. It has large and foam-filled tyres which never flatten and a great suspension. The Core is heavier than other strollers for all-terrain use, but still light enough to be able to move on more rough terrain.
Folding
If you're looking for a pushchair that can withstand the toughest of terrain, you might think about an all-terrain model. This type of pushchair features large wheels on both the front and rear to aid in navigating rough off-road terrain. Most often, they'll have stronger suspension too and larger puncture-proof tyres to stop them from becoming clogged with grass, sticks or mud.
A good model of this kind of pushchair is the Mountain Buggy Ridge.
