3 Wheel Pushchairs
Three wheel pushchairs are great for those who are an avid jogger or wants a more versatile stroller. Contrary to jogging buggies that typically come with large wheels that are designed for paved tracks, three wheel prams with air-filled tyres can tackle woodland walks and market town cobbles alike.
Having large wheels, however, can make certain models heavy and bulky make sure it folds compactly and won't take up all the space in your boot.
Stability
Parents are often frightened by tales of three-wheeled pushchairs falling over. This is usually due to cheap or poorly constructed models. When selecting a 3-wheeler it is essential to determine how stable the buggy feels by attempting it in person. You should also think about how fast you can shift direction using the front wheel and how easy it is to do so.
If you intend to use your pushchair on rough terrain, choose one with air-filled tires (also called pneumatic tyres). They are able to take on the bumps and lumps of muddy paths or gravel tracks. These tyres can take the bumps and lumps of muddy pathways or gravel tracks better than plastic moulded wheels, giving your baby a smooth ride. Some models have a lockable wheel on the front, which can be used on rough terrain.
All-terrain buggies are heavier than standard buggies with four wheels. You should think about the space they'll take up in the trunk of your car and whether you'll be able to carry them up and down stairs once folded. They can also be heavy to lift and carry, so try one out in person to gauge how much effort you need to put into lifting the buggy off the ground.
