If you often walk across rough terrain or would like to exercise on a treadmill, a three-wheeled pushchair is the best option. They are the best 3 wheel stroller choice if you need a pushchair that can tackle any terrain from busy roads to forest tracks.

Manoeuvrability
A 3 wheel pushchair is a great choice for those who want to be able to move easily. The wheels are close together, allowing the chassis turn and turn more easily than a 4 wheel pushchair. This makes them suitable for busy shops and streets. Some even have a small pair of front wheels that can be locked and swivelled for additional maneuverability when required. The Roma Atlas, for example, has two wheels positioned closely together at the front and a clever lock that swivels to give it all the maneuverability of a 3-wheeler with added stability.
