A three-wheeled buggy is ideal for those who regularly walk on uneven terrain or jog. They are great if you need a buggy that can handle all types of terrain, from busy streets to tracks in the woods.

For greater maneuverability, opt for a model with swivelling or lockable front wheels. The rear and front wheels that are bigger give you an easier ride on various surfaces.

Manoeuvrability

A 3 wheel pushchair is a great option for those looking to be able to maneuver effortlessly. The wheels are close together, allowing the chassis turn and twist more easily than a 4 wheel pushchair. This makes them suitable for busy streets and shops. Some models have smaller front wheels that can be locked and swivelled for additional maneuverability.
