Guide To 3 Wheeled Pushchair: The Intermediate Guide In 3 Wheeled Pushchair
The Benefits and Drawbacks of a 3 Wheeled Pushchair
If you regularly walk through rough terrain or would like to exercise, a three-wheel pushchair is the perfect choice. They are the best choice for those who need a buggy to handle any terrain, from busy roads to forest tracks.
Look for models with front wheels that can be locked or swivelled. This will allow you more flexibility. The rear and front wheels that are larger also give you the most comfortable riding on different surfaces.
Manoeuvrability
A 3-wheel pushchair is a great option for those who wish to be able to maneuver effortlessly. The wheels are close together which allows the chassis to turn and twist more easily than a four wheel pushchair. This makes them suitable for busy shops and streets. Some models have smaller front wheels that can be swivelled and locked for extra maneuverability. The Roma Atlas, for example has two wheels placed closely together at the front, and an ingenious lock that can swivel to give it all the maneuverability of three wheels, with added stability.
A lot of our most well-loved 3 wheelers can be transformed from stroller, pram, car-seat and toddler seats as your child develops. This is ideal when you plan to travel as a family, or make frequent trips to the store. The Baby Jogger Nipper is a perfect illustration. It has Hauck airwheels XL, a 360-degree swivel lockable wheel, and a suspension which allows it to be used on any terrain.
Another great option is the ickle bubba Nipper, a pushchair that is all-terrain with a great suspension and huge puncture-proof tyres that allow it to be used for off-road excursions as well as smooth city pavements. It can be used from the beginning with the reversible seat, or carrycot compatible. It also comes with a one-handed fold for easy storage in the boot and for travel to airports.
Choosing the right wheels for your double pushchair 3 wheeler is important depending on where you'll be using it most. Moulded wheels are great for city life but won't be able to handle rougher terrain. If you are planning to get your pushchair off pavement, opt for pneumatic tyres. They are able to handle rough terrain.
If you're looking for a pushchair that can be used in both urban and rural locations, then look no further than 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 extremely light and has the option of locking the front wheel.
Stability
You can increase the stability of your vehicle by searching for specific features. Some designs have a rotating front wheel that can be locked to provide extra stability when riding on rough terrain. This is especially useful for those who plan to use your pushchair to jog or off-road. It will allow you to confidently handle different surfaces.
Another excellent stability feature is suspension. This makes your buggy more comfortable to ride in for both baby and parents especially on uneven terrain. Some brands even allow you to swap out tyres of different brands so that you can tailor the performance of your pushchair to suit the type of terrain you'll be taking it on.
Consider purchasing a 3-wheeled pushchair with air-filled tires for an infant stroller that can take on any terrain. These wheels will offer a smoother ride over bumps and are less likely to break than solid wheels. They also allow you to ride on tracks that are not paved and can carry your buggy over a variety of surfaces including grass, sand and mud.
All-terrain strollers are generally bigger than standard strollers however, there are several fantastic options that do not compromise on maneuverability or stability. One of our favourites is the UPPAbaby Ridge which has an array of amazing features that make it suitable for off-road walking as well as running (once your child is old enough). These include large, foam-filled, never-flat tyres as well as an adjustable suspension, and a simple, one-handed folding.
Another great all-terrain pushchair is Bugaboo Fox 5 - this features the same all-terrain capabilities as the UPPAbaby Ridge. It has an excellent suspension with large puncture-proof tyres as well as the ability to fold with one hand. It's also compatible with a broad range of car seats and can accommodate a carrycot or infant carrier too. It's a bit heavier than other 3-wheelers, however it's still an excellent choice for parents who wish to have their pushchair capable of traveling on any terrain.
Weight
The downside of 3 wheeled strollers is that they're heavy, especially if you have to navigate bumpy terrain and kerbs. The bigger rear wheels on a 3 wheel pushchair-wheeler contribute to a heavier total weight than 4-wheelers, which means that you'll require more strength to lift them, especially when folding them.
All-terrain models are an excellent choice if you need a pushchair to handle rough terrain or the tarmac that is rocky. These models typically come with special features such as a sturdy suspension system and large puncture-proof tires. Increasingly, brands are designing all-terrain pushchairs that have gel-filled or foam-filled tyres that are designed not to go flat, so they don't require inflation.
UPPAbaby's Ridge all-terrain pushchair offers a great choice of parent-friendly features that allow it to tackle many types of terrain with ease. The Ridge all-terrain pushchair has numerous features that are suitable for parents, such as the ability to lock the front wheel, an easy one handed fold, a large basket, and adjustable handlebar. MFM reviewer Becky found that the Ridge was "very good on walks in woodlands with gravel tracks, as well as market town cobbles".
Another brand to offer a variety of all-terrain pushchairs is iCandy. Their latest all-terrain model the Core, is suitable for babies from birth and is used with a carrycot as well as car seat adaptors. The iCandy Core has a host of features that will make it an excellent all-terrain pushchair, including large foam-filled, never-flat tyres as well as a great suspension system. The Core is heavier than other all-terrain strollers yet light enough to maneuver on more rough terrain.
Folding
If you're looking for a stroller that will take the roughest of terrain, then you may be interested in an all-terrain model. This kind of pushchair comes with large wheels on both the front and back to help it navigate bumpy off-road terrain. They'll usually have a more durable suspension and larger puncture resistant tyres, to avoid them getting clogged with grass, sticks or mud.
An excellent model of this kind of pushchair is the Mountain Buggy Ridge. This all-terrain model comes with many amazing features, such as a an easy suspension, a large basket, one handed steering, and a quick one-handed folding.
