20 Irrefutable Myths About 3 Wheeled Pushchair: Busted
The Benefits and Drawbacks of a 3 wheeled strollers Wheeled Pushchair
A three-wheeled pushchair is ideal if you walk regularly on rough terrain or run. These are the best if you need a pushchair that can tackle any terrain, from busy streets to forest tracks.
To make your ride more maneuverable, look for a model with swivelling or lockable front wheels. Larger wheels, both front and back offer an easier ride on varying terrains.
Manoeuvrability
Manoeuvrability is among the main advantages of a 3 wheel pushchair. The wheels are positioned close together allowing the chassis to rotate and turn much more easily than a traditional four wheel pushchair, making them ideal for busy streets and shops. Some even have a small pair of front wheels that can be locked and swivelled to provide additional maneuverability when required. The Roma Atlas, for example has two wheels placed closely together at the front and a clever lock that can swivel to give it all the maneuverability of a 3-wheeler with added stability.
A lot of our top-selling compact 3 wheel stroller wheelers are also 4-in-1 travel systems which can convert from stroller to pram to toddler seat and car seat carrier as your child grows.

It has Hauck airwheels XL with a 360-degree locking swivel wheel and a suspension that lets it be used on any terrain.

Choosing the right wheels for your pushchair is essential depending on where you'll use it the most. Moulded wheels are fine for urban use, but they won't perform well on more rough terrain.

Stability
You can improve the stability of your buggy by looking for certain features. For example, some designs have a swivelling front wheel that can be locked in place to give you extra stability when driving on rough terrain. This is particularly helpful for those who will be using your pushchair off-road or for running, as it gives you the confidence to walk on varying surfaces easily.
Another great stability feature is suspension - this will make your baby's buggy more comfortable for both the baby and you, especially on uneven ground. Certain brands allow you to alter the tyres of their pushchairs so that they can be adapted to the terrain you will be using it on.
