17 Signs You Work With 3 Wheel Pushchairs
3 Wheel Pushchairs
If you're a keen athlete or just looking for a more versatile stroller 3 wheel pushchairs offer everything. Unlike jogging buggies which often come with large wheels that are that are designed for paths 3 wheel prams with air-filled tyres can tackle the woods and market town cobbles in equal measure.
Certain models are heavy and bulky due to their huge wheels. Check that they fold down in a compact manner and don't occupy the entire space in your boot.
Stability
Many parents are dissuaded from buying three wheel pushchairs by reports of them tipping over, however, this is usually due to cheap or poorly designed models. When you are choosing a 3-wheeler, it is essential to determine the stability of the buggy by testing it out in the real world. You should also look at how it is easy to change direction or swerve with the front wheel only, and how quickly it is possible to do it.
If you intend to use your pushchair on rough terrain, choose a model that has air-filled tires (also called pneumatic tyres). They can take the bumps and lumps that come with gravel tracks or muddy paths. These tyres are more resilient to bumps and lumps on muddy or gravel roads than the plastic wheels. They provide a smoother ride for your baby. Some models come with an lockable wheel on the front that can be used to navigate rough terrain.
All-terrain pushchairs tend to be heavier than standard buggies on four wheels and you'll have to think about how much space they'll take up in your car's boot and if you'll be able to lift it up and down the stairs when folded. They can also be heavy to lift, so it's worth trying one in person if possible to determine how much effort you'll need to exert to lift the buggy off the ground.
