20 Fun Informational Facts About 3 Wheeled Pushchair
The Benefits and Drawbacks of a 3 Wheeled Pushchair
A three wheel buggies-wheeled pushchair is ideal if you walk regularly on uneven terrain or jog. They are ideal if you want a buggy that will take on any terrain, from busy streets to woodland tracks.
For more manoeuvrability, look for a model that has swivelling or lockable front wheels. Larger wheels on the front and back can provide an easier ride on various surfaces.
Manoeuvrability
Manoeuvrability is among the major advantages of a three wheel pushchair. The wheels are set close to each other, which allows the chassis to turn and twist much more easily than a standard four wheel pushchair. This makes them perfect for busy streets and shops. Some models have smaller front wheels that are locked and swivelled for additional maneuverability. 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 flexibility of a 3 wheeler stroller-wheeler, but with added stability.
Many of our most loved 3 wheelers can be converted from stroller, pram, toddler seat and car-seat carrier as your child develops. This is great when you intend to travel as a family, or take frequent visits to the shops. The Baby Jogger Nipper is a excellent illustration. It has Hauck airwheels that are XL, a 360-degree swivel lockable wheel and a suspension that lets it be used on any terrain.
The ickle bubba Nipper is another alternative. It's an all-terrain stroller that has large puncture-proof tyres as well as a great suspension that allows it to be used for both off-road excursions and smooth city pavements. It is suitable for use from birth (in the seat unit that is reversible or with a carrycot compatible) and has a handy one-handed instant fold for storage in the boot and airport travel.
Choosing the right wheels for your pushchair is essential depending on where you'll use it the most. Moulded wheels are great for the city but not on rougher terrain. If you plan on taking your pushchair off of pavements, opt for air-filled tyres also known as pneumatic tyres, which are capable of coping with rough terrain.

Stability
You can increase the stability of your buggy by looking for certain features. Certain models come with an swiveling front wheel that is locked to provide extra stability on uneven terrain. This is particularly useful for those who plan to use your pushchair for jogging or off-road. It can give you the confidence to navigate on different surfaces.
Another excellent stability feature is suspension - this will make your baby's buggy more comfortable to ride in for both the baby and you especially on uneven terrain. Certain brands allow you to change the tyres on their pushchairs, allowing it to be tailored to the terrain you will be using it on.

Weight
