The Benefits and Drawbacks of a 3 Wheeled Pushchair

If you often walk across rough terrain, or wish to run, a three wheeler pushchair-wheel pushchair is the best option. They are great if you require a vehicle that can handle all types of terrain, from busy streets to woodland tracks.

To make your ride more maneuverable, look for a design with swivelling or lockable front wheels. Larger wheels on the front and back can provide a more comfortable ride over various terrains.

Manoeuvrability

A 3 wheel pushchair is an excellent option for those looking to be able to move effortlessly. The wheels are set close to each other, which allows the chassis to rotate and turn much more easily than a standard four wheel pushchair, making them perfect for busy streets and shopping. Some models even have a pair of front wheels that can be locked and swivelled to provide extra maneuverability when needed. The Roma Atlas has two wheels at the front, which are positioned close together and a lock that allows it to be as stable as a three-wheeler while still allowing for the same maneuverability.

Many of our most popular 3 wheel stroller brands wheelers can be transformed from pram, stroller, toddler seat and car-seat carrier as your child develops.

It comes with Hauck airwheels that are XL with a 360-degree locking swivel wheel, and a suspension that lets it be used on all terrains.

Stability
