20 Trailblazers Lead The Way In 3 Wheeled Pushchair
The Benefits and Drawbacks of a 3 wheel umbrella stroller Wheeled Pushchair
If you frequently walk on rough terrain, or wish to go jogging in a pushchair with three wheels, it's the ideal choice. These are the best for those who need a pushchair that can tackle any terrain from busy roads to forest tracks.
To make your ride more maneuverable, look for a model that has locks or swivelling front wheels. Larger wheels on the front and back offer a more comfortable ride on varying surfaces.
Manoeuvrability
Manoeuvrability is among the major advantages of a three wheel pushchair. The wheels are positioned close together allowing the chassis to turn and twist more easily than a standard four wheel pushchair. This makes them perfect for busy streets and shopping. Some even have a small 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, which are set close together and a clever lock that allows it to be as stable as a three-wheeler while maintaining the same maneuverability.
Many of our best-selling 3 wheelers are also 4-in-1 travel systems that can change from stroller to a toddler seat or car seat carrier as your child grows. This is ideal when you're planning to travel with your family or on frequent trips to the shops. One example is the Baby Jogger Nipper pushchair that comes with Hauck's XL air wheels, a 360 swivel lockable front wheel and an adjustable suspension system that makes it suitable for all types of terrain, including off-road, and jogging after your child is old enough to join in with you!
Another great option is the ickle bubba Nipper which is an all-terrain pushchair with great suspension and large puncture-proof tyres, which make it suitable for off-road excursions as well as smooth city pavements. It is suitable for use from birth (in the seat unit that is reversible or with a carrycot compatible) and comes with a convenient quick fold that can be folded with one hand for storage in the boot and airport travel.
The right wheels for your pushchair is crucial depending on where you'll use it the most. Moulded wheels work well in the city but not on rougher terrain. If you're planning to take your pushchair off pavements, opt for air-filled tyres also known as pneumatic tyres that are able to cope with rough terrain.
If you're looking for a pushchair designed to be used in both urban and rural settings, then check out 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 super lightweight with the option of locking the front wheel.
Stability
There are many features you can check for that will increase the stability of your buggy. For instance, some models feature a swivelling front wheel that can lock into place to provide extra stability on rough terrain. This can be particularly useful for those who will be using your pushchair off-road or for running, as it gives you the confidence to walk off on different surfaces easily.
Another excellent stability feature is suspension. It will make your baby's buggy more comfortable for both you and baby especially on uneven terrain. Some brands provide the option of swapping out different tyres so that you can tailor the performance of your pushchair according to the type of terrain you will be riding it on.
You should consider investing in a three-wheeled pushchair with tires that are filled with air for a pushchair that can handle any terrain. These wheels will provide smoother rides over bumps, and are less likely to break than solid wheels. They also allow you to navigate tracks that aren't paved and will carry your buggy across different surfaces like dirt, grass, sand and mud.
All-terrain pushchairs can be a little wider than standard pushchairs however there are a few great options to choose from that won't compromise on stability or manoeuvrability. One of our favourites is the UPPAbaby Ridge that comes with an array of amazing features that make it suitable for off-road and jogging (once your child is old enough). It has large, foam-filled never-flat tyres with adjustable suspension, as well as an easy one-handed fold.
The Bugaboo Fox 5 is another great stroller that is all-terrain. It is similar to the UPPAbaby, and comes with great suspension, big puncture proof tires, and a one hand fold. It's also compatible with a large variety of car seats and is able to accommodate a carrycot or infant carrier as well. It can be slightly heavier than some of the other 3-wheelers, but it's a great option for parents looking to take their pushchair across all terrains.
Weight
The disadvantage of 3 wheel twin stroller-wheeled pushchairs is that they can be heavy, particularly when traversing bumpy terrain and kerbs. The larger rear wheels of a 3 wheel all terrain buggy-wheeler increase the overall weight, making it heavier than the 4-wheeler. This means that you will need more strength to lift them.
If you're looking for a pushchair that can handle rough terrain and rocky tarmac it might be worth a look. These models typically come with special features such as strong suspension systems and large puncture-proof tires. Manufacturers are increasingly creating all-terrain strollers with tyres that are filled with gel or foam to stop them from becoming flat.
UPPAbaby's Ridge stroller that is all-terrain offers an array of features that are child-friendly and will allow it to tackle a variety of terrains with ease. Including the capability to lock the front wheel, an easy and simple one-handed fold, a large basket, and an adjustable handlebar. MFM reviewer Becky said that the Ridge is "very good for woodland walks and gravel roads, as well as market town cobbles".
iCandy is another brand that provides a variety of all-terrain pushchairs. The Core, their most recent all-terrain pushchair, is suitable for babies from birth. It can be adapted to a car seat or carrycot. The iCandy Core has a host of features that will make it a great all-terrain stroller, including big foam-filled tyres that never flatten and a fantastic suspension system. The Core is a bit heavier than some other all-terrain pushchairs however it's still light enough to be maneuverable on rough terrain.
Folding
All-terrain models are a good option if you want an all-terrain pushchair that can withstand rough terrain. This type of pushchair has large wheels both on the front and back to make it easier to navigate rough off-road terrain. Most often, they'll have stronger suspension, as well as larger puncture-proof tyres to prevent them from becoming clogged with sticks, grass or mud.
The Mountain Buggy Ridge is a excellent model of a pushchair that is similar to this. This all-terrain pushchair comes with numerous impressive features, including smooth suspension, spacious basket, one-handed steering, and quick one-handed folding. It also works with the car seat and carrycot (with adaptors) which means it can be used in as early as 6 months.
Bugaboo Fox 5 is another all-terrain stroller that comes with impressive off-road features. It has a large 10kg basket and can be folded in just one hand. The handlebar can be adjusted by one hand. It also has a lockable front wheel and foam-filled, never-flat tyres so you don't have to worry about punctures on rough terrain.
The GB Maris, a new stroller that's all-terrain and eye-catching, was launched at the Kind + Jugend fair. It is designed for kids with moderate to mild mobility requirements. It comes with soft, adjustable components and an adjustable reclining chair. The front wheel can be locked and it comes with a foot brake for added control and security.
