3 Wheel Pushchairs
Whether you're an avid run or simply seeking an easier stroller 3 wheel pushchairs have it all. Three-wheel prams, that have air-filled tires instead of the big wheels typically found on jogging buggies designed for roads with paved surfaces are able to navigate woodland trails and cobbled streets.
The large wheels, however, can make some models bulky and heavy therefore make sure that it folds up compactly and won't take up all the space in your boot.
Stability
Parents are often frightened by tales of three-wheeled pushchairs tipping over. However, this is typically due to cheap or poorly constructed models. It is crucial to test the stability of a 3-wheeler by putting it to the test physically. It is also important to consider how easy it is to change direction or swerve using the single front wheel and how quickly it is possible to do it.
If you're planning on using your pushchair off-roading, opt for a model with air-filled tyres (sometimes called pneumatic tyres) that can cope with rough terrain. These tyres can take the bumps and bumps of muddy trails or gravel tracks far better than plastic wheels that have been moulded that give your child an enjoyable ride. Some models come with the option of locking the front wheel, which can be used when you're going over really rough ground too.
All-terrain buggies may weigh more than typical four-wheeled buggies. You might want to consider the amount of space they'll take up in the car's boot and if you'll be able to carry them up and down stairs once folded. It may be difficult to lift them up, so you should try one out in person to see how heavy they are.
UPPAbaby's Ridge, a three-wheeled pram with a car-seat attachment, is a good example of a stable, maneuverable pram.
