See What Three Wheeler Pushchairs Tricks The Celebs Are Using
Three Wheeler Pushchairs
Three wheeler pushchairs are an ideal choice for active parents who love to run or are looking for a stroller which can handle different terrains. They are easy to move and fold easily to be stored or transported.
With just one front wheel that is able to swivel easily, they're able to turn in tight spaces and make supermarket corners a breeze. Make sure you choose models that have air-filled tyres to tackle bumpy pavements and tracks.
Strollers
There's a huge range of strollers on the market, all designed to meet different needs. Some are made for multiple infants (twins or a smaller age gap) while others are designed for singletons and others are designed to accommodate children as young as of four years. A lot of them have safety guidelines to be adhered to for example, a child seat or carrycot needs to be fastened securely and can't be more than 20cm away from the edge of the frame.
Three wheel pushchairs typically have a single wheel on the front, making them more manoeuvrable than other models. This makes them perfect for narrow aisles or streets in shops where space is at a premium. If you plan to use your stroller in many different environments, think about an all-terrain pushchair. They're built with tough tyres that can deal with bumps and rough terrain more quickly than normal strollers. Some models have suspensions to ensure a more comfortable ride for your baby or toddler.
Certain all-terrain buggies are designed to be used as jogging buggies. This is a great option for parents who want to exercise and take their child on a brisk stroll or run. These pushchairs typically come with a bigger frame and tyres that are more substantial than a normal stroller, plus they may have features like the handbrake or a movable handlebar.
It's worth taking your stroller for an initial test ride to see how it rides and how easy it controls. It's also important to determine which type of tyres prefer in terms of filled with air or foam. Air-filled tyres are typically more durable, but they are also prone to punctures so you'll need to have a repair kit with you.
For a stylish and versatile option, take a look at the new 3 wheel baby stroller-wheel pushchairs from iCandy. They come with amazing all-terrain features, including suspension systems with large puncture-proof tyres, as well as an adjustable handlebar to suit both mums and dads. They also conform to the REACH regulations of the EU. This means that they are not high in lead and phthalates.
Joggers
If you're a Jogger (or buggy runner) or are planning to become a buggy runner, you'll need a 3 wheel running stroller-wheeler pushchair specifically designed for jogging. These pushchairs feature larger wheels and a suspension system to handle bumps and uneven sidewalks. These are also heavier and more bulkier than traditional strollers, making them unsuitable for daily use unless you plan to take a short run.
The Mountain Buggy Terrain is one of the best lightweight 3 wheel pushchair-wheel joggers available on the market. It offers maximum control and precision steering to keep you active, with elegant styling and superb maneuverability in urban areas. It's a dream come true for parents who are avid runner, but also is looking to keep their child close and comfortable during long walks or errands.
There are also other good Joggers that are suitable for daily strolling, such as the UPPAbaby Ridge Stroller Jake and the Baby Jogger City Elite 2 Stroller Jet. They have air-filled tires which provide a smooth ride, but they are also prone to punctures. You'll need a spare. Some have a suspension that is adjustable or heavy-duty to make the ride smoother over rough ground.
Depending on the age of your child, you might be able to transition from using a carrycot or infant car seat to one of these jogging strollers without too much difficulty. It is recommended to talk with your pediatrician prior to purchasing a jogging stroller, especially if you're advised by your doctor to waiting until your child is 6 months of age.
Another option is to purchase an jogger, and then put on a compatible car seat adapter. For instance the phil&teds Sport buggy can be converted into a 2-in-1 travel set with an infant car seat, which means you can take your baby for walks or runs from day one.
The Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 3 wheel push chair-wheeler is stylish and practical 3 wheeled strollers-wheeler that can be used to stroll or jog light. It's an excellent choice for parents who are active and fashionable, and it can accommodate carseats for babies from birth (with the optional City infant car seat adapter). It has three recline positions and air-filled tires so that your child will be able to enjoy an enjoyable journey. It folds up quickly.
All-terrain
All-terrain strollers are a great option if you love taking a walk off the beaten track, live in rural areas, or wish to run with your child. The top all-terrain strollers feature large, sturdy wheels that can handle bumpy terrain and a great suspension to make your child's journey comfortable.
They're typically bigger than standard pushchairs and could be bulky to store in your car boot. They are also more expensive than other pushchairs, so keep this in mind when looking around.
You should choose models that have a height-adjustable bar. This is helpful if you and/or your partner have different heights. You should consider whether you need an adjustable wrist strap to keep it from falling off when you go down slopes or hills. Some models are designed with a fixed front wheel, which is easier to control if you are planning to use it for running. Others come with a swivel rear wheel that can be locked in position to assist you in maneuvering on uneven surfaces.
The type of tyre is also important. Many all-terrain strollers are equipped with air-filled tires that provide a smooth ride, but are also prone to puncturing. Some come with a foam or gel-filled tyre that are less likely to puncture but will add extra weight to the pushchair.
A good quality all-terrain pushchair will have an adequate-sized basket that is handy to carry your baby's shopping. Some come with a compact one-handed fold that allows for easy storage when not in use. They will often have a raincover and footmuff included as well.
One of our top all-terrain pushchairs is the Mamas & Papas Ocarro, which was awarded a Mother and Baby Gold Award for 2017. The dual suspension expertly handles rough terrain and allows you to take your baby on walks across all terrains and even go jogging with it (once your child is old enough). It is suitable for babies from birth. It comes with a fully-reclining seat that can be used in conjunction with an infant car or carrycot.
Folding
The majority of pushchairs fold. They are simple to store in your home, and can easily be inserted into the trunk of your car. This is ideal for cars with boot spaces that are small, or if you are planning to travel a lot with your family.
There are many different types of folds, so pick one that best suits your lifestyle and requirements. For instance some of the most recent buggy models have a groundbreaking auto-fold system that folds by itself with a simple press of a button. This frees your hands to handle a baby, bags or other children, and is ideal for parents suffering from back pain or recovering from C-sections.
Some models fold more conventionally with the seat in place. This means they are a bit bulkier and might not fit as snugly in your vehicle's boot. Some models require a couple of hands to fold, which can be a problem when you want to do it whilst being a parent.
Whether you prefer an easy umbrella fold or a more complex mechanism, it's important to ensure that the model you pick can cope with the terrain you'll be using it on. If you're planning on navigating many cobblestones and gravel tracks, then air-filled tyres will offer an easier ride.
If you plan to use your pushchair primarily on roads that are paved or pavements and roads, then the majority of three-wheelers come with tires that are moulded to allow your child to enjoy a smooth ride. If you're taking your child off-road or on dirt choose one that comes with a set of movable mudguards and/or a quick-release front wheel to help keep your pushing kit looking its best.
