Three Wheel Pushchairs - Why You Should Consider One

Whether you're a fitness fanatic seeking a jogging stroller or a parent looking for an all-purpose stroller three wheel pushchairs provide a world of possibilities. Here's the reason you should look into one.

If you want your stroller to take on rural and urban surroundings, you should choose a model with air-filled tyres (also known as pneumatic). They will be more able to handle non-paved tracks.

They're simple to maneuver

If you're taking an outing on a rural trail or tackling an urban high street three-wheel pushchairs are simple to manoeuvre. The three-wheeled pushchairs tend to be more agile due to having a single handlebar and one large wheel at the front. The wheels are also often larger, giving you more suspension and a smoother ride on rough ground. There are even three-wheel pushchairs with a handbrake, which can be operated by two fingers and helps you to slow down on steep hills.

Select a model with pneumatic (or air-filled) tires if you want the buggy to be able to function both in urban and rural environments. These will cope better with dirt tracks and can travel over sand, mud and rock without a problem. The most durable all-terrain pushchairs have a swivelling frontwheel that can be locked to offer stability when driving over rough terrain.

You'll also want to check whether your buggy is suitable for infants and young babies - some have the option of a lie-flat seat that could be used from birth, while others will only be suitable for children up to six months old. Verify compatibility of any second seats or buggie boards and car seats if you have to transport more than one child.

Many three-wheel pushchairs are surprisingly light, making them easier to lift when folded and to load into your car boot. However, the large back wheels on these models can make them quite large when opened, and you may need to take extra care when navigating narrow streets or aisles in stores. If you're concerned about this, you should look for a model with an easy-release front wheel to reduce the size of the storage. This feature is available on some UPPAbaby pushchairs and other models that are all-terrain. This is especially crucial if you plan to use the pushchair on public transport or in small car boots.

They're designed for off-road use

If you love a walk along the farm track or you spend a lot of time walking on rough field and rough paths then a three-wheeled pushchair could be just the ticket. Brands such as Mountain Buggy and Out n' About have designed these rugged pushchairs with off-road capabilities with a view to walking in the woods, on beaches or country roads. They're ideal for tackling rough terrain and come with special features like the front wheel lockable, foam-filled never flat tyres and a true suspension. When your child is old enough, these strollers can be used for jogging.

A lot of these off-road pushchairs come with an option for parents to face. This is perfect to keep an eye at your child or soothing them if they are tired or worried. They're suitable for newborns as well as toddlers and are available in a variety of sizes to fit different children and adults. Some come with additional accessories, such as a ride on board. This is great for children who aren't yet able to walk but still want to be part of the fun with their family.

Other all-terrain strollers feature a unique "Swivel to Go" system that allows the user to turn the main wheels while maintaining the front wheel fixed. This makes them more stable on uneven terrain and makes them easier to maneuver in tight spaces. If you live in a hilly region the handbrake that is on each handle can slow steep slopes.

Some pushchairs are able to pivot their rear wheels, which can be helpful on uneven surfaces. The disadvantage is that pushchairs will have a bigger footprint, making it difficult to fit in some cars.

All-terrain strollers are expensive. If you regularly use them and regularly, then they're an excellent investment. They will last longer and be able to handle any terrain. Plus, they're super-smart and look stunning too. The brand new iCandy Core has a number of innovative features, such as a spacious, zip-up basket and an easy-to-fold mechanism, and three recline positions. It's suitable for use from birth, when used in conjunction with an iCandy infant car seat adaptor or carrycot.

It's easy to fold them

Three-wheeled pushchairs are typically lighter and smaller than standard models. They are also easier to manoeuvre, making them suitable for urban environments that allow them to navigate tracks that are paved and pavements. It is important to keep in mind that the wheels of three-wheeled strollers are not designed to handle rough terrain, and are susceptible to punctures if they are not constructed with high-quality materials. It is therefore essential to choose a model with an swivelling front wheel as well as air-filled tyres, which can withstand bumps and uneven surfaces.

It is important to think about the distance you plan to travel with your child in a tri-wheel buggy. If you are planning to travel long distances, opt for a larger chassis and a robust suspension to ensure your baby is at ease throughout the trip. If you plan to use your three-wheel pushchair in conjunction with car seats or a carry cot, ensure it has a flat position. It is essential that your three-wheeled pushchair be folded easily and fit in a car boot, or another storage space.

Many companies offer all-terrain strollers which can be easily folded. For example, the Bugaboo Fox 5 features an easy fold with one hand and can be folded flat at the push of an arrow, making it an excellent choice for families who like to go out and about with one another. It also has an impressive collection of all-terrain features such as a large front wheel and suspension that provides an agile, smooth ride.

The GB Maris is another good choice. It was introduced this year at the Kind + Jugend fair and has a unique frame that is adjustable. It can be used by babies as young as birth. The seat unit is open to the world and can be fitted with an UPPAbaby carrycot or compatible infant carrier. It also has foam-filled never-flat tyres and an easy-locking front wheel that can be locked in the closed position for safety on uneven ground.

They're easy to clean

Unlike four-wheel pushchairs that can be prone to tipping over on bumpy surfaces or if you're using them for off-road walks, three wheel buggies are simple to clean and maintain. They usually have a single, simple handlebar, and swivelling front wheels that can be locked to assist them cope with rough terrain. A lot of them have adjustable suspensions to aid them in their performance on different surfaces.

Select a model with air-filled tires if you intend to take your buggy off-road. They are able to deal with most terrains and will allow you to get across rocks, grass as well as sand and mud without getting stuck. Also, you should look for tyres which are puncture-proof.

Another thing to take into consideration is how easy it is for your buggy to fold down and fold up - especially if you're trying it out with a baby on board. It's also important to ensure it fits in the car boot if you use public transportation. It's worth mentioning that some models can fold one-handed this is a major benefit if you're traveling alone with a child.

Certain brands have created all-terrain strollers that are perfect for off-road and urban use. The TFK Joggster Twist, which is suitable for children up to 15kg, is an excellent example. Its disc brake is highly efficient and it can be used with a child as young as the age of two.

Other pushchairs that are all-terrain include the Baby Ickle Bubba Venus Max All-Black Stroller: Ultimate Jogger Versa GT and Easywalker June. Both of these are more expensive but provide superb value for money. The Stella by Maxi Cosi is a high-end alternative that has an elegant metallic frame, swivelling wheel that can be locked to make it easy to change direction and turn 360deg. It is also compatible with a Baby Jogger Summit X3 - Midnight Black Pushchair carrier as well as a carrycot.
