3 Wheel Pushchairs
If you’re a keen athlete or just looking for a stroller that is more flexible, 3 wheel pushchairs have it all. Contrary to jogging buggies that typically feature large wheels that are designed for paths, three wheel prams with tyres that are filled with air can handle the woods and market town cobbles with ease.
Certain models are heavy and bulky due to their huge wheels. Check that they fold down in a compact manner and don’t take up the entire space of your boot.
Stability
Parents are often put off by the stories of three-wheel pushchairs that tip over. However, this is typically because of poor or poorly-constructed models. When selecting a 3 wheel infant stroller-wheeler it is important to check how stable the buggy is by trying it out in person. It is also important to consider how quickly you can change direction with the front wheel and how easy it is to do so.
If you’re planning to use your pushchair off-road, opt for a design with air-filled tyres (sometimes called pneumatic tyres) which can withstand rough terrain. These tyres are able to take the bumps and sloughs of muddy pathways or gravel tracks far better than plastic moulded wheels and give your child a comfortable ride. Some models come with a lockable wheel on the front, which can be used for rough terrain.
All-terrain buggies are heavier than typical buggies with four wheels. You should consider the amount of space they will take up in the trunk of your car and if you’ll be able to carry them up and down the stairs after they’ve been folded. It can be a challenge to lift them up, so you should test them in person to see how heavy they are.
UPPAbaby’s Ridge is an example of a tri-wheel pram that is stable, maneuverable and suitable for off-roading with the car seat attachment. It features a front-facing seat unit that can be connected to a UPPAbaby carrycot or you can add infant car seats with adaptors. Its large rear wheels have ‘never-flat’ foam-filled tyres, which make it easy to maneuver through rough terrain. The smooth suspension and adjustable handlebar also ensure that your baby or toddler will be at ease.
Manoeuvrability
Three-wheeled strollers are simpler to move and turn than four-wheeled strollers because they have two wheels at the back and one wheel in the front. They can be great for narrow streets and maneuvering through crowded supermarket aisles. Many 3-wheeled strollers also have locks on the front wheel, which makes it easier to maneuver around corners.
