Why Buy a Three Wheel Pushchair?

Many of them are also perfect for running, and some come with a lockable wheel at the front for stable jogging. Some come with a design that is child-friendly with plenty of storage space and an adjustable bar.

Manoeuvrability

Three wheel pushchairs can be a great alternative for parents who want a buggy that is simple to maneuver and can handle different surfaces, from busy streets to forest tracks. They are easy to maneuver around obstacles and kerbs, and can be steered with one hand. If you're planning to utilize your pushchair on rough terrain, think about a model with large wheels that can be locked to provide stability, and a suspension designed to give you an easy ride.

There are a variety of brands that offer three-wheelers with a range of styles, from modern and sleek designs to robust and durable models.

Stability

While pushchairs with three wheel buggies wheels are more agile, they aren't as stable as models with four wheels particularly on terrains with rough surfaces, such as high kerbs or tree roots. The reason for this is that three-wheeled pushchairs do not have the same broad base as a 4 wheel model, which means they're less balanced. Some models can solve this issue by providing features such as suspension or a central wheel that helps to keep the buggy on its feet over uneven terrain.

A lot of three-wheelers are designed with urban life in mind and come with moulded wheels that can cope with paved tracks but they won't provide smooth riding on grass or gravel tracks.

A second seat or buggyboard is another important factor to consider. Some three-wheelers come with only one seat, and do not allow you to adjust the direction that your baby is facing. Other models come with a carry cot, or a car seat that is suitable for babies as young as 6 months. If you do need to add extra elements to your pushchair, make sure that it's easy to change between these options that is, ideally, one-handed and without the need for tools!
