Three Greatest Moments In 3 Wheeled Pushchair History
The Benefits and Drawbacks of a 3 Wheeled Pushchair
If you frequently walk on rough terrain, or want to run, a three-wheel pushchair is the ideal choice. They are ideal if you require a vehicle that can handle all types of terrain, from busy streets to tracks in the woods.
Look for designs with front wheels that can be locked or turned. This will give you more flexibility. Front and rear wheels that are bigger give you an easier ride on various surfaces.
Manoeuvrability
A 3 wheel double pushchair 3 wheeler is an excellent choice for those who want to be able to move easily. The wheels are placed close to each other, allowing the chassis to move and turn more easily than a standard four wheel pushchair, making them ideal for busy streets and shops. Some models even have a pair of front wheels that can be locked and swivelled for extra manoeuvrability when needed. The Roma Atlas has two wheels at the front that are positioned close together and a clever lock that allows it to be as stable as a three-wheeler while maintaining the same maneuverability.
A lot of our most well-loved 3 wheelers are able to be converted from stroller, pram, car seat, and toddler seat as your child grows. This is great if you're planning on travelling with your family or taking frequent trips to the shops. The Baby Jogger Nipper is a perfect example. It has Hauck XL airwheels and a 360-degree lockable swivel wheel, and a suspension that lets it be used on all terrains.
The ickle bubbling Nipper is a different option. It's an all-terrain stroller with large puncture-proof tyres as well as a great suspension that allows it to be used for both off-road adventures as well as smooth city pavements.

Stability
You can improve the stability of your buggy by searching for specific features. Some designs have an swiveling front wheel that can be locked in place to provide additional stability when driving when riding on rough terrain.

Another great stability feature is suspension. It makes your buggy more comfortable to ride in for both baby and parents particularly on uneven ground. Some brands offer the option to change the tyres on their pushchairs to tailor it to the terrain you'll be using it on.
