Twenty Myths About 3 Wheeled Pushchair: Busted
The Benefits and Drawbacks of a 3 wheeler pushchair off road Wheeled Pushchair
A three-wheeled buggy is ideal if you walk regularly on rough terrain or jog. They are ideal if you require a vehicle that can be able to handle any terrain, from busy high streets to woodland tracks.
For greater maneuverability, opt for a model that has locking or swivelling front wheels. Larger wheels both front and back also offer an easier ride on different surfaces.
Manoeuvrability
Manoeuvrability is among the main advantages of a 3 wheeled travel system wheel pushchair. The wheels are placed close to each other, allowing the chassis to rotate and turn more easily than a traditional four wheel pushchair, making them ideal for busy streets and shopping. Some models even have a pair of front wheels that can be locked and swivelled to provide extra manoeuvrability when needed. The Roma Atlas has two wheels at the front that are positioned close together and a smart lock that allows it to be as solid as a 3-wheeler while still allowing for the same maneuverability.
Many of our most loved 3 wheelers are able to be converted from stroller, pram, toddler seat and car-seat carrier as your child grows. This is great for those who plan to travel together as a family or make frequent visits to the shops. One example is the Baby Jogger Nipper pushchair that features Hauck's XL air wheels, a 360 swivel front wheel that locks and suspension that allows it to be used on all terrains including off-road and jogging once your baby is old enough to start jogging with you!

It's an all-terrain stroller, with large puncture-proof tyres and great suspension that allows it to go on both off-road adventures and smooth city pavements. It can be used from birth using the reversible seat, or carrycot that is compatible with. It also has an easy fold that can be folded with one hand for storage in the boot, and for airport travel.
The wheels you choose for your pushchair is crucial dependent on the location you'll be using it the most. Moulded wheels are great for city life but won't perform well on more rough terrain.

Stability
There are a number of features you can check for that will increase the stability of your buggy. For example, some designs feature a swivelling front wheel that can lock into place to provide extra stability on rough terrain. This is especially useful for those who plan to use your pushchair for jogging or off-road. It will allow you to confidently take on different terrains.
Another good stability feature is suspension. It can make your buggy far more comfortable for both you and baby particularly on uneven ground. Certain brands allow you to change the tyres on their pushchairs so that they can be adapted to the terrain you'll be using it on.
Consider purchasing a cheap 3 wheel buggy-wheeled pushchair that has air-filled tires for an infant stroller that can take on any terrain.

Weight
The downside of 3 wheeled strollers is that they're heavy, especially when you are required to traverse bumpy terrain or kerbs. The bigger rear wheels on a 3 wheel baby buggy-wheeler also make up a higher total weight than 4-wheelers, which means you may need more strength to lift them, particularly when folding.
