3 Wheel Pushchairs
Three wheel pushchairs are great for those who are a jogger, or just wants a more versatile stroller. Three-wheel prams, that have air-filled tires instead of the massive wheels commonly used on jogging buggies that are designed for paved roads can be used to navigate through woodland trails and cobbled streets.
Some models can be heavy and bulky due to their huge wheels. Make sure they fold down in a compact manner and don’t take up the entire space in your boot.
Stability
Parents are often put off by the stories of three-wheel pushchairs falling over. This is usually because of poor or poorly built models. It is important to test the stability of a three-wheeler by putting it to the test physically. It is also important to consider how it is easy to change direction or turn with the front wheel alone, and how quickly it is possible to do it.
If you’re planning to take your pushchair off-roading, opt for a model that has air-filled tyres (sometimes called pneumatic tyres) which can withstand rough terrain. These tyres will be more resistant to bumps and bumps on muddy paths or gravel roads than the plastic wheels. They provide a more comfortable ride for your child. Some models come with the option of locking the front wheel, which can be used when traveling over a rough terrain as well.
All-terrain pushchairs can be bulkier than standard buggies with four wheels and you’ll need to consider how much space they’ll occupy in your car’s boot and if you’ll be able to lift it up and down stairs when folded. It could be a challenge to lift them up, so you should try one out in person to determine how heavy they are.
UPPAbaby’s Ridge is an example of a three Wheeled Buggies-wheel pram that is stable, manoeuvrable and suitable for off-roading using a car seat attachment. It comes with a world-facing seat that can be attached to a UPPAbaby carrycot or you can also add infant car seats by using adaptors. Its large rear wheels are foam-filled ‘never flat’ tyres that allow it to navigate rough ground, while its smooth suspension and adjustable handlebar provide a comfortable ride for your baby or toddler.
Manoeuvrability

They are ideal for narrow city streets or manoeuvring through crowded supermarket aisles.

They, she added, “perform well on woodland tracks, cobbles and grass in market towns.”
