The Benefits and Drawbacks of a 3 Wheeled Pushchair

If you often walk across rough terrain, or want to exercise, a three-wheel pushchair is the perfect choice. They are the best option if you need an automobile that can handle any terrain from busy streets to forest tracks.

Look for models with front wheels that can be locked or turned. This gives you more flexibility. Larger wheels both front and back can provide a more comfortable ride on different terrains.

Manoeuvrability

A 3-wheel pushchair is a great choice for those who want to be able to move easily. The wheels are positioned close which allows the chassis to turn and turn more easily than a 4 wheel pushchair. This makes them perfect for busy shops and streets. Some models have smaller front wheels that are locked and swivelled to give them extra maneuverability. The Roma Atlas has two wheels at the front that are positioned close together and a smart lock that allows it to be as stable as a three-wheeler, while still allowing for the same maneuverability.

A lot of our top-selling 3 wheelers are also 4-in-1 travel systems that can change from stroller to toddler seat and car seat carrier as your child grows. This is a great option for those who plan to travel as a family or for frequent shopping trips. The Baby Jogger Nipper is a excellent illustration. It features Hauck airwheels that are XL and a 360-degree lockable swivel wheel, and a suspension that allows it to be used on all terrains.

It's an all-terrain stroller, with large puncture-proof tyres and great suspension that allows it to be used for both off-road adventures as well as smooth city pavements.

Choosing the right wheels for your pushchair is crucial depending on where you'll be using it the most. Moulded wheels work well in the city, but not so on rougher terrain. If you plan on taking your pushchair off of pavements choose tyres with air in them, sometimes known as pneumatic tyres, which are capable of handling rough terrain.
