See What Three Wheeler Pushchairs Tricks The Celebs Are Using
Three Wheeler Pushchairs
Three wheeled pushchairs are the ideal option for parents who love to run or are looking for strollers that can take on diverse terrains. They're easy to maneuver and fold up neatly for storage or transport.
They are simple to maneuver in tight spaces and corner stores can be a breeze with their swivel front wheel. Select models with air-filled tires to handle rough roads and uneven pavements.
Strollers
There's a vast selection of strollers available each designed to meet the needs of different people. Some strollers are made to accommodate multiple infants (twins, or children with a slight age difference), while others are specifically designed for singletons. The others are designed to fit children aged from birth to four. Some of these products have safety guidelines that must be adhered to. For instance any child's seat or cot for carrying must be secured securely and should not extend further than 20cm away from the frame's edge.
Three wheel pushchairs typically have a single wheel on the front, making them more manoeuvrable than other models. This makes them perfect for navigating narrow streets or store aisles where space is scarce. If you're planning to use your stroller in many different environments, think about an all-terrain pushchair. With tyres that are tough that can withstand rough terrain and bumps much more easily than the standard stroller. Some models even come with suspension to to make the ride more comfortable for your toddler or baby.
A few all-terrain buggies can also be designed to be used as jogging buggies. This is ideal for parents who wish to stay active and enjoy a vigorous walk or jog with their child. These pushchairs usually have a larger frame and tyres than a regular stroller, and may have features like a handbrake or adjustable handlebar.
If you're planning to run with your stroller, you should consider having a test drive in order to see how you find the experience and how easy it is to control. You'll need to decide whether you prefer air-filled or foam-filled tyres. Air-filled tyres are more durable but they're also more susceptible to punctures. You'll need a repair kit to carry around with you.
If you are looking for a stylish and versatile option, look at the new 3-wheel pushchairs available from iCandy. They have some fantastic all-terrain features such as suspension, large puncture-proof tyres and an adjustable handlebar to suit both mums and dads. They also meet REACH regulations of the EU. This means that they are free of lead and phthalates.
Joggers
If you're a Jogger (or buggy runner) or would like to become a jogger, you'll require a pushchair with three wheels that is specifically designed for running. They have bigger wheels than standard strollers, and a suspension that is specially designed to cope with bumps and uneven sidewalks. They're also usually larger and heavier, making them unsuitable for everyday use unless you intend to go out on the occasional run.
The Mountain Buggy Terrain is one of the top 3 wheel parent facing pushchair-wheel joggers you can buy. It offers precise steering and maximum control for getting active, with refined styling and top-quality maneuverability in the city. It's the ideal solution for parents who run but wish to keep their child close and comfortable on long walks, or for errands.
Other joggers that are suitable can be used to stroll around the city, for example the UPPAbaby Ridge Stroller Jake or the Baby Jogger Jet City Elite 2. These have air-filled tyres that provide a smooth ride but are prone to punctures and you'll need to have a spare. Some come with heavy-duty or adjustable suspensions to give you a smoother ride on rough terrain.
It is possible, depending on the age of your child, to easily transition from the carrycot to a jogging sleigh. However, it's always recommended to consult your pediatrician first, particularly when they advise waiting until your child is at minimum six months old.
You can also purchase a jogger, and then connect an adapter for carseats that is compatible with it. For example the phil&teds Sport buggy can be turned into a 2-in-1 travel set with an infant car seat which means you can take your baby for walks or runs from day one.
The Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 is a stylish yet practical 3-wheeler that is ideal for casual strolling and light jogging. It's a great option for parents who are active and trendy, and it can accommodate carseats for babies from birth (with the optional City infant car seat adapter). It has 3 recline positions, as well as air-filled tires, which means your child will be able to enjoy an enjoyable ride. It also folds up quickly.
All-terrain
All-terrain prams are an excellent option if you like taking a walk off the beaten track, live in rural areas, or would like to run with your child. The best all-terrain pushchairs will feature large, sturdy wheels that can cope with bumpy ground and great suspension to ensure a comfortable ride for your child.
They are generally larger than standard pushchairs, and are often difficult to fit in the trunk of your car. They are also more expensive than other pushchairs. Keep this in mind when shopping for a new one.
You should look for models that have adjustable height bars. This will be beneficial if you and/or your partner have different heights. It is also worth considering whether you'd like a wrist strap, which reduces the chance of it rolling away on sloping ground or going over hills. Some models are designed with a fixed front wheel, which is easier to control if are planning to use it for jogging. Others have a swivel front wheel that can be locked into place to allow you to maneuver on uneven surfaces.
The type of tyre is also important. A lot of all-terrain strollers have air-filled tires that provide an enjoyable ride, but they can puncture. Some pushchairs come with a foam- or gel-filled tire, which is less likely to puncture. However, it does increase the weight of the pushchair.
A quality all-terrain stroller will include a large, spacious basket that is useful for carrying your baby's groceries. Some have a compact, single-handed fold that makes it easy to store when not in use. They will often have an umbrella and a footmuff as well.
One of our favourite all-terrain pushchairs is the Mamas & Papas Ocarro, which won an award for the Mother and Baby Gold Award for 2017. Dual suspension lets you take your child on all-terrain strolls and even run with it when your child is old. It is suitable from birth and features a fully reclined seat and can be used as a travel system with an infant car seat or carrycot attached.
Folding
A few of the most popular pushchairs fold. They take up less space in your home and are also easier to fit in the boot of your car and are ideal if you're short on storage or have a tiny car boot, or plan on doing lots of travelling as families.
There are a variety of folds, so choose one that fits your lifestyle and preferences. The latest models of buggy come with an auto-fold feature, which folds itself at a push of a single button. This frees your hands to handle a baby, bags, or other children and is perfect for parents who have back issues or recovering from C-sections.
Some models fold more conventionally with the seat in place. This means that they are more bulky and may not fit as well in your boot or vehicle. Some models will require two hands or more to fold. This could be a problem for parents who need to hold their child while folding.
It is crucial to make sure that the pushchair will be suitable for the terrain you intend to use it. If you plan to navigate a lot of cobblestones and gravel tracks, then air-filled tyres will offer an easier ride.
If you intend to use your pushchair primarily on pavements or paved roads, then most three-wheelers will have moulded tires that will give your baby an easy ride. If you're traveling with your baby off-road or on rough ground opt for a model equipped with removable or quick-release front wheel that will help keep your pushing kit looking its best 3 wheel stroller with car seat.
