The Benefits and Drawbacks of a 3 Wheeled Pushchair

A three-wheeled pushchair is perfect for those who regularly walk on rough terrain or jog. They are great if you need a buggy that can handle all types of terrain from busy high streets to woodland tracks.

To make your ride more maneuverable, look for a design with locking or swivelling front wheels. Larger wheels on the front and back can provide a more comfortable ride on different surfaces.

Manoeuvrability

Manoeuvrability is one of the main advantages of a 3 wheel jogger stroller wheel pushchair. The wheels are close and allow the chassis to turn and twist more easily than a four wheel pushchair. This makes them perfect for busy streets and shops. Some models have smaller front wheels that are swivelled and locked for extra maneuverability. The Roma Atlas, for example has two wheels placed closely together at the front and a clever lock that can swivel to give the ability to maneuver like three wheels, with added stability.

A majority of our top-selling 3 wheel pushchair travel system wheelers come with a 4-in-1 travel systems that can convert from stroller to pram to toddler seat and car seat carrier as your child grows.

It comes with Hauck XL airwheels with a 360-degree locking swivel wheel, and a suspension which allows it to be used on any terrain.

Choosing the right wheels for your pushchair is essential dependent on the location you'll be using it the most. Moulded wheels work well for city use but will not be able to handle rougher terrain. If you plan to take your pushchair off of roads, you should consider pneumatic tyres. They can handle rough terrain.

Stability

There are numerous features you can check for that will increase the stability of your buggy. Some designs have a swiveling front wheel that can be locked to provide extra stability when riding on rough terrain. This can be especially useful for those who will use your pushchair off-road, or for jogging as it will give you the confidence to walk any surface with ease.

Suspension is an additional feature to ensure stability. It can make your pushchair more comfortable to ride, both for your child and you, particularly on uneven terrain. Some brands also provide the option of swapping out different tyres to allow you to tailor the performance of your pushchair to suit the type of terrain you'll be riding it on.

If you're in the market for a 3 wheel travel stroller-wheeled pushchair that is able to perform on any terrain, you should consider investing in a model with air-filled tyres.

These wheels will permit you to ride your buggy on non-paved surfaces and can be used on many surfaces such as grass or sand, as well as mud.

Weight

The downside of 3 wheeled strollers is that they are heavy, especially when you are required to traverse bumpy terrain or kerbs. The larger rear wheels of a 3 wheel running buggy-wheeler increase the overall weight, which is higher than the 4-wheeler. This means you'll need more strength when lifting them.
