3 Wheel Pushchairs
If you're a fervent athlete or just looking for a more versatile stroller 3 wheel pushchair s have everything. Contrary to jogging buggies that typically have large wheels specifically that are designed for paths tricycles equipped with air-filled tyres are able to tackle the woods and market town cobbles in equal measure.
Certain models are heavy and bulky due to their large wheels. Make sure they fold down in a compact manner and don't take up your entire boot space.
Stability
Parents are often frightened by stories about three-wheel pushchairs falling over. But this is usually due to cheap or poorly constructed models. When choosing a 3-wheeler, it is crucial to test how stable the buggy is by testing it out in the real world. You should also look at how it is simple to shift direction or swerve with the single front wheel, and how quickly it is possible to do it.
If you intend to use your pushchair on uneven terrain, you should choose an option with tires filled with air (also known as 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 bumps on muddy or gravel roads than the plastic wheels. They offer a smoother ride for your baby. Some models come with an lockable wheel on the front that can be used on rough terrain.
All-terrain pushchairs are heavier than standard buggies with four wheels which is why you'll need to consider how much space they'll occupy in your car boot and whether you'll be capable of lifting it up and down stairs when folded. It can be a challenge to lift them up, so you should try one out in person to determine how heavy they are.
UPPAbaby's Ridge is an example of a three-wheel pram that is stable, manoeuvrable and suitable for off-roading with a car seat attachment. It has a world-facing seat that can be attached to an UPPAbaby Carycot or infant car seats that can be added using adaptors. Its large rear wheels are filled with foam and tyres with a 'never flat' design that make it easy to navigate rough ground and its smooth suspension and adjustable handlebar ensure an enjoyable ride for your baby or toddler.
Manoeuvrability
Three-wheeled strollers are simpler to maneuver and turn than four-wheeled strollers because they have two wheels in the back and one at the front. They are ideal for walking through narrow streets and crowded supermarket aisles. A lot of 3-wheel strollers have locks on the front wheel, making it easier to maneuver around corners.
A 3-wheeled pushchair can also handle off-road terrain better than standard strollers and prams. For instance, iCandy's Core offers a range of features that make it perfect for trips to the countryside with your little one. It has a rural wheelbase, and larger wheels that, as per MFM reviewer Tara, "perform really well on woodland tracks, grass and market town cobbles."
Three-wheel pushchairs are designed to last, in addition to being extremely maneuverable. They are usually equipped with a suspension system that can absorb the jolts and bumps of different surfaces. This ensures that your baby is comfortable during their journey. They're an excellent choice for families who love being outdoors, but don't wish to sacrifice comfort or convenience.
3 wheel pushchairs can also be used as runners, however you'll need to wait until your child is between 6 and 9 months old before you start running with them (unless you have an infant carrier). Bugaboo's 3 wheel buggy is a world-first that offers a unique modular system allowing you to transport your child from newborn to toddler using a car seat and carrycot that is compatible with the chassis. You can also switch between a run and stroll mode, so you can go from a woodland walk to a leisurely shopping trip easily.
Folding
Many 3-wheel pushchairs are able to be folded efficiently and compactly when not in use, and can be tucked into a boot that is small or under the stairs. They typically have large rear wheels that can make them quite wide when folded. So be aware of this in case you intend to use it in narrow spaces or shopping aisles.
iCandy Core offers a range of features that parents will love, including a generous basket and a handlebar that is adjustable. It can also be folded using one hand. Its all-terrain capabilities are impressive, too, with a swivel-lock wheel on the front as well as large, foam-filled never-flat tyres, and a smooth suspension. This makes it ideal for strolls through the park or in the woodlands.
If you want to convert the Ridge into an entire travel system (with car seat adaptors) it can be used with UPPAbaby infant carriers or carrycots. However, the seat is a world-facing unit and is only suitable for children who are 6 months old. The UPPAbaby Ridge has a hand-operated break on the right that MFM reviewers have found useful, especially when pushing it over uneven terrain. This feature is not available on all models and it's worth checking before purchasing.
Stores
A lot of 3 wheeled pushchairs come with amazing features that make life easier for parents. These include an ample basket that is easily accessible and storage areas in the rear and front areas, as also a tray for parents with helpful phone positioner and two large cup holders. Some models come with innovative features like lockable front wheels, hand brakes on the right hand side and never-flat tyres filled with foam.

Off-road
Three-wheeled buggies are able to handle uneven surfaces like cobblestones tree roots and paths that are rocky better than regular pushchairs. These models typically have larger rear wheels and a lockable wheel on the front, which can be turned to navigate difficult terrain. This feature lets you easily navigate tight spaces as well as handle kerbs that are difficult to navigate and maintain control on even the most difficult roads.
All-terrain pushchairs are an excellent option for families who love being outdoors and want to explore the countryside or go off-road for family walks.

The UPPAbaby Ridge for instance, has an impressive range of off-road capabilities.
