The Benefits and Drawbacks of a 3 Wheeled Pushchair
A three-wheeled buggy is ideal for those who regularly walk on uneven terrain or jog. They are the best option to use if you require an automobile that can handle any terrain, from busy roads to forest tracks.
For more manoeuvrability, look for a model that has locks or swivelling front wheels. Larger wheels both front and back also offer a more comfortable ride over varying terrains.
Manoeuvrability
Manoeuvrability is one of the main advantages of a 3 wheel pushchair. The wheels are close together and allow the chassis to turn and twist more easily than a four wheel pushchair. This makes them perfect for busy shops and streets. 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 close to each other at the front and a clever lock that swivels to give the ability to maneuver like a 3-wheeler, but with added stability.
A majority of our top-selling 3 wheelers come with a 4-in-1 travel systems that can change from stroller to a toddler seat or car seat carrier as your child grows.

It comes with Hauck airwheels XL and a 360-degree lockable swivel wheel, and a suspension which allows it to be used on any terrain.

Some brands even provide the option of swapping out different tyres to allow you to tailor the performance of your pushchair to the type of terrain you will be taking it on.
