3 Wheeled Pushchair: A Simple Definition
The Benefits and Drawbacks of a 3 Wheeled Pushchair
A three-wheeled pushchair is perfect if you walk regularly on uneven terrain or jog. These are the best to use if you require a buggy to handle any terrain, from busy streets to forest tracks.
For greater maneuverability, opt for a design with swivelling or lockable front wheels. Front and rear wheels that are larger give you an easier ride on different surfaces.
Manoeuvrability
A 3 wheel pushchair is an excellent option for those looking to be able to maneuver easily. The wheels are placed close to each other, which allows the chassis to rotate and turn more easily than a traditional four wheel pushchair. This makes them ideal for busy streets and shopping. Some models have smaller front wheels that can be locked and swivelled to give them extra maneuverability. The Roma Atlas, for example, has two wheels positioned close to each other at the front and an ingenious lock that swivels to give the flexibility of a 3-wheeler with added stability.
A majority of our top-selling 3 wheelers are also 4-in-1 travel systems which can convert from stroller to pram to toddler seat and car seat carrier as your child grows. This is great for those who plan to travel with your family or taking frequent shopping trips. One example is the Baby Jogger Nipper pushchair that comes with Hauck's XL air wheels and a 360 swivel front wheel that can be locked and suspension that allows it to be used on all types of terrain, including off-road, and jogging after your child is old enough to start jogging with you!
Another great option is the ickle bubba Nipper, a pushchair that is all-terrain with excellent suspension and large puncture-proof tyres that allow it to be used for off-roading and smooth city pavements. It can be used from birth with the seat that can be reversible or carrycot that is compatible with. It also has a one-handed fold for easy storage in the boot and for travel to airports.
Choosing the right wheels for your pushchair is essential dependent on the location you'll use it the most. Moulded wheels are great for the city but not on rougher terrain. If you plan to get your pushchair off pavement, opt for pneumatic tyres. They can withstand rough terrain.
If you're looking for a model designed to be used in both urban and rural locations, then look no further than our top-rated Bugaboo Fox 5 All Terrain pushchair. It's got all the great suspension and big wheels of an all-terrain model but it's also an excellent urban pushchair with a super lightweight 3 wheel stroller frame, an easy-to-use lockable front wheel and a single-handed fold.
Stability
You can improve the stability of your vehicle by searching for specific features. For instance, certain models feature a swivelling front wheel that can be locked in place to provide extra stability on rough terrain. This is especially useful when you intend to use your pushchair to jog or off-road. It will allow you to confidently navigate on different surfaces.
Suspension is an additional feature to ensure stability. It can make your buggy more comfortable ride, for both your child and you especially on uneven terrain. Certain brands allow you to alter the tyres of their pushchairs, allowing it to be tailored to the terrain you will be using it on.
Consider purchasing a 3 wheel pushchair with car seat-wheeled pushchair that has air-filled tires for a pushchair that is able to handle any terrain. They will give you a more comfortable ride on bumps and are less prone to punctures than the solid wheels. These wheels permit you to ride your buggy on unpaved surfaces and can be used on many surfaces that include grass or sand, as well as mud.
All-terrain pushchairs tend to be slightly wider than standard pushchairs, however there are a few excellent options that won't compromise on maneuverability or stability. One of our favourites, the UPPAbaby Ridge, has many remarkable features that make it suitable for off-road use as well as jogging once your child reaches a certain age. It comes with large, foam-filled never-flat tyres as well as an adjustable suspension, and a quick one-handed folding.
The Bugaboo Fox 5 is another excellent all-terrain stroller. It has similar capabilities to the UPPAbaby, and comes with great suspension, big puncture proof tires, and a single handed fold. It is compatible with a variety of car seats and also can accommodate a carrycot. It's a little heavier than other 3-wheelers, but it's still a great choice for parents who wish to have their pushchair able to go on any terrain.
Weight
The disadvantage of strollers with 3 wheel stroller wheel baby buggy (weblink) wheels is that they can be heavy, particularly if you are required to traverse bumpy terrain or kerbs. The larger rear wheels of a 3-wheeler add to the overall weight, which is higher than a 4-wheeler. This means you'll need more strength to lift them.
If you need a pushchair that is able to handle rough terrain and tarmac that is rocky the all-terrain model might be worth considering. They typically have features, like robust suspensions and large puncture-proof tyres. Manufacturers are increasingly creating strollers that are all-terrain and have tyres that are filled with foam or gel to prevent them from going flat.
UPPAbaby’s Ridge all-terrain stroller offers a wide range of features that are parent-friendly and will allow it to tackle different terrains easily. This includes the capability to lock the front wheel, an easy and easy one-handed fold a large basket, and an adjustable handlebar. MFM reviewer Becky found that the Ridge was "very excellent for walks in woodlands with gravel tracks, as well as market town cobbles".
iCandy is another brand that offers a variety of all-terrain pushchairs. The Core, their latest all-terrain pushchair, is ideal for babies from birth. It can be converted to a car seat or a carrycot. The iCandy Core has a host of features that make it a great all-terrain stroller, including big foam-filled, never-flat tyres as well as a great suspension system. The Core is heavier than other all-terrain strollers yet lightweight enough to travel in rough terrain.
Folding
If you're looking for a stroller that will take the roughest of terrain, then you may think about an all-terrain model. This type of pushchair has large wheels both front and back to tackle bumpy, off-road terrain. Often they'll have more robust suspension too and larger puncture-proof tyres that can prevent them from becoming clogged with grass, sticks or mud.
The Mountain Buggy Ridge is a great model of a pushchair that is similar to this. It's an all-terrain model with a host of impressive features like smooth suspension, a spacious basket, one-handed steering and a rapid one-handed fold. It is also compatible with a car seat and carrycot (with adaptors) which means it can be used in as early as 6 months.
Other all-terrain pushchairs include the Bugaboo Fox 5, which is a 3-wheeler with some seriously impressive off-road features. It has a large 10kg basket that can be folded in one hand. The handlebar can be adjusted by one hand. It also has an adjustable front wheel that locks and foam-filled, never-flat tyres, so you don't have to worry about punctures in rough terrain.
The GB Maris, a new stroller that's all-terrain and eye-catching and was introduced at the Kind + Jugend fair. It is designed for kids who have mild to moderate needs for positioning.
