Stability

The bigger the wheels of your pushchair the better they are able to be able to handle rough terrain and even the ground. It is because larger wheels are more likely to'skid over bumps and dips. They also offer a more comfortable ride for your child. The downside is the extra wheels are a burden on the car boot. Some models of pushchairs with big front wheels will need to be removed to store them flat.

All-terrain strollers come with features such as large puncture-proof tires, as well as sturdy suspension to allow them to handle everything from busy high-street strolls to hikes in the woods. They are often more expensive than other models, however when you frequently use your pushchair off the beaten path, they may be worth the extra cost.

It is better to choose a pushchair equipped with pneumatic (or air-filled) tires if you are planning to take it off roads. They are more suitable for rough terrain than solid rubber tyres. They are also much less prone to punctures than tyres which are made from hard plastic or metal.

Some pushchairs let you remove the front wheel when not in use. This can make them easier to store, especially in the case of an empty boot.

Some models are designed to be fast and simple to switch between these configurations, while others might require more patience.

Manoeuvrability

A pushchair with three wheels is easier to handle and steer than a four-wheeler. The single wheel in the front allows for easy maneuvering over bumps and rough terrain. Many models come with suspension systems that absorb shocks and give your baby a smooth ride. MFM reviewer Kath put a three-wheeled buggy to the test, and was amazed by the ease with which it negotiated bumpy pavements, cobbles and dirt tracks. She found it easy for her to climb up and down kerbs, and the wheels were fast to negotiate grass.

There are three kinds of 3 wheeled pushchairs namely strollers (also called joggers) and models with all-terrain surfaces and all-terrain models. Strollers are ideal for urban environments due to their smaller frames and narrower wheels, while joggers come with large wheels and are designed to take you off-road.

All-terrain strollers are a favorite among parents who want to explore the countryside and enjoy the outdoors. They usually have wheels that are larger and more durable than standard pushchairs. They are suitable for rocky terrain and can be used as early as birth. However, you may need car seat adaptors to attach an infant carrier.

Some pushchairs appear to be 3-wheelers, but actually come with four wheels, with two smaller wheels positioned close together in front instead of the traditional central pair. This allows for maneuverability while maintaining the stability of a four-wheeler.

Some 3 wheel stroller-wheel pushchairs come with a swivelling and lockable front wheel, making them even more maneuverable. This is particularly useful if you regularly encounter difficult surfaces, since it can assist you in avoiding getting stuck or having to walk around obstacles. Certain all-terrain strollers come with foam-filled "never flat" tyres that don't require pumping. This makes them more convenient and comfortable to use for long walks or for continuous use.

Weight

Generally speaking Hauck Universal 3 Wheel Raincover Transparent - Stroller-Compatible-wheel pushchairs tend be heavier and larger than standard pushchairs. This is especially true when they are equipped with large back wheels. It can be a challenge to lift a pushchair while it is folded, such as when it is loaded into the trunk of a car or when navigating the stairs. This may also make the pushchair feel a little heavy when you are out and about, and can limit how quickly you can manoeuvre through small spaces or aisles in shops.

All-terrain strollers are designed to be used on different terrains like rough and uneven terrain such as mud, gravel, and paths. These pushchairs are equipped with large, puncture-proof tires and strong suspensions to ensure a comfortable ride for the child. They are typically much more expensive than regular pushchairs.

They are usually the best option for wet and muddy weather as well, although we recommend checking the tyres regularly to avoid flat spots and air bubbles.

The iCandy Core is a great all-terrain stroller which ticks a lot of the boxes. It comes with a large 10kg basket, a one-handed fold and an adjustable handlebar. The large tyres are filled with foam and never flat, so you won't have to be concerned about punctures or losing air pressure. The seat is suitable for use from birth and is suitable for all different ages. It can also be used in conjunction with an infant carrycot or infant carrier.

Another option is the Special Tomato Jogger, which has a lightweight design and great maneuverability. It's a great choice for parents who are active and like to go for walks or jogs along with their child, and it has a suspension system to ensure the baby is comfortable on all types of terrain. We also love how simple to clean it is with the fabric being removed from the frame and washing in cold water.

Tyres

The tyres on a 3-wheel pushchair are usually larger than those found on the 4-wheel model and can help handle off-road terrain. For example the UPPAbaby Ridge features large foam-filled tyres with a 'never flat' design and suspension systems that make it ideal for long walks and rough terrain. It's also designed to be suitable to run once your child is old enough. This is because of the 360-degree lockable front wheel and an adjustable suspension.

However, larger tyres can add weight to the pushchair. You'll have to take this into consideration when choosing your model. You'll also have to decide if you'd like a model with removable wheels so that it is easier to store in your car boot.
