Don t Make This Mistake With Your 3 Wheeled Pushchair
The Benefits and Drawbacks of a 3 wheel stroller Wheeled Pushchair
A three-wheeled buggy is ideal for those who walk a lot on uneven terrain or jog. They are the best option if you need a pushchair that can tackle any terrain from busy streets to forest tracks.
For greater maneuverability, opt for a model with locking or swivelling front wheels. Front and rear wheels that are larger offer a more comfortable ride on different surfaces.
Manoeuvrability
Manoeuvrability is among the major advantages of a three wheel pushchair. The wheels are close together which allows the chassis to turn and turn more easily than a four wheel pushchair. This makes them suitable for busy streets and shops. Some even have a pair of front wheels that can be locked and swivelled to provide extra manoeuvrability when needed. The Roma Atlas has two wheels at the front that are set close together and a smart lock that allows it to be as stable as a three-wheeler while still having the same maneuverability.

It's important to choose the right wheels for a pushchair based on where it will be used the most. Moulded wheels are great for the city but not on rougher terrain.

Stability
There are a number of features that you can look out for that will enhance the stability of your buggy.

Another good stability feature is suspension - this makes your buggy more comfortable to ride in for both baby and parents particularly on uneven ground. Some brands allow you to change the tyres on their pushchairs, allowing it to be tailored to the terrain you'll be using it on.

Weight
