The Benefits and Drawbacks of a 3 Wheeled Pushchair

A three-wheeled buggy is ideal for those who regularly walk on rough terrain or run. These are the best if you need a pushchair that can tackle any terrain from busy streets to forest tracks.

Look for models with front wheels that can be locked or swivelled. This will give you more flexibility. Larger wheels both front and back also offer an easier ride on various terrains.

Manoeuvrability

A 3-wheel pushchair is a fantastic choice for those who want to move easily. The wheels are set close to each other, allowing the chassis to move and turn more easily than a conventional 4 wheel pushchair, making them ideal for busy streets and shops. Some have small front wheels that can be locked and swivelled for additional maneuverability. The Roma Atlas, for example is equipped with two wheels that are positioned closely together at the front, and a clever lock that can swivel to give it all the maneuverability of a cheap 3 wheel buggy-wheeler, but with added stability.

Many of our most popular 3 wheelers are able to be converted from stroller, pram, toddler seat and car-seat carrier as your child develops.

The right wheels for your pushchair is important depending on where you'll be using it most. Moulded wheels work well in the city, but not so on more rugged terrain.

Stability

There are a number of features that you can look out for that will enhance the stability of your buggy.
