3 Wheeled Pushchairs

3 wheel pushchair off road wheeled pushchairs are a ideal choice for mothers who like to walk over different terrains. The larger front wheels on these buggies allow them to be more maneuverable and offer more stability on uneven ground.

If you plan to drive your buggy on roads, pick a model that is air-filled tyres (sometimes called pneumatic). They are much more effective on non-paved surfaces and are puncture-proof too.

Stability

The larger the wheels of your pushchair, the better they will deal with rough terrain and the ground. This is because the larger wheels have a larger contact surface, and are therefore less likely to'skid' over dips and bumps. The larger wheels also provide the most comfortable ride for your child. The disadvantage is that the additional wheels can take up space in your car boot, and some models with big front wheels might need to have them removed when you wish to keep it in a flat place.

All-terrain pushchairs are made to withstand everything from high-street strolls to woodland walks, and are fitted with features that enable them to do this, such as sturdy suspension and tyres with puncture-proof treads that are large. They can be more expensive than other models, however if you regularly use your pushchair off the main track, they might be worth the extra expense.

If you are planning to take your pushchair off roads, it's worth choosing one that has tyres filled with air (sometimes called pneumatic tyres) because they are more suitable for rough terrain than the solid rubber ones. They are also much less vulnerable to punctures than tyres that are composed of metal or hard plastic.

Certain models of pushchairs allow you to turn off the front wheel when in use, which can make them easier to store - useful if you have a small car boot. Some models have a front wheel that can be locked into place to provide extra stability when on rough terrain. It is important to determine the ease of you to use a pushchair equipped with this feature prior to buying.

If you're thinking of adding an additional seat, parent-facing unit, or car seat adaptors to your pushchair it's important to check how it's going to be easy to switch these components and fold or unfold the pushchair with them attached - especially as you may need to do this with a child on board. Some models are designed for simple and quick change of configurations, while others require more patience.

Manoeuvrability

A pushchair with three wheels is easier to maneuver and steer than a 4-wheeler. The single wheel on the front makes it easy to navigate over bumps and rough terrain. A lot of models come with suspension systems, designed to help absorb shocks and ensure an easy ride for your child. MFM's Kath tried a tri-wheeled buggie and was impressed by how well it handled uneven pavements, cobblestones, and dirt tracks. Kath found it easy for her to climb over and down kerbs and the wheels were quick to navigate grass.

There are three main types of 3 wheel pushchair: strollers, joggers and all-terrain models.

Weight

Generally speaking, 3-wheel pushchairs tend to be heavier and more spacious than standard pushchairs. This is especially true when they have large rear wheels. This makes it difficult to lift the pushchair while folded, for example when loading it into the car boot or climbing steps. This may also make the pushchair feel weighty when you're out and about, and can hinder your ability to navigate narrow spaces or aisles in shops.
