The Benefits and Drawbacks of a 3 Wheeled Pushchair
A three wheel pushchairs-wheeled pushchair is ideal if you walk regularly on uneven terrain or jog. They are a great option if want a buggy that will be able to handle any terrain from busy high streets to woodland tracks.
Look for models with front wheels that can be locked or rotated. This gives you more flexibility. Larger wheels on the front and back can provide an easier ride on varying terrains.
Manoeuvrability
A 3 wheel running buggy wheel pushchair is a great choice for those who want to be able to move effortlessly. The wheels are positioned close together allowing the chassis to move and turn much more easily than a traditional four wheel pushchair, making them ideal for busy streets and shops. Some models even have a pair of front wheels that can be locked and swivelled to provide additional maneuverability when required. The Roma Atlas, for example, has two wheels positioned closely together at the front and an ingenious lock that swivels to give the flexibility of a 3-wheeler with added stability.
Many of our most loved 3 wheelers can be converted from pram, stroller, car-seat and toddler seats as your child grows. This is ideal for those who plan to travel with your family or taking frequent trips to the shops. One example is the Baby Jogger Nipper pushchair that comes with Hauck's XL air wheels, a 360 swivel front wheel that locks and suspension that makes it suitable for all terrains including off-road and jogging after your child is old enough to start jogging with you!
The ickle Bubba Nipper is another option. It's an all-terrain stroller that has large puncture-proof tyres as well as a great suspension that makes it suitable for both off-road adventures as well as smooth city pavements. It is suitable for use from birth (in the seat unit that is reversible or with a carrycot that is compatible) and comes with a convenient one-handed fold that is ideal for storage in the boot and airport travel.
The wheels you choose for your pushchair is crucial dependent on the location you'll be using it most. Moulded wheels are ideal for the city but not on more rough terrain. If you plan on taking your pushchair off paved surfaces choose tyres with air in them, sometimes known as pneumatic tyres, which are capable of handling rough terrain.
If you're looking for a model designed to be used in both rural and urban environments, then take a look at our top-rated Bugaboo Fox 5 All Terrain pushchair. It has all the suspension and big wheels you'd expect from an all-terrain pushchair, but it's also a city pushchair that's super lightweight with an adjustable front wheel lockable.
Stability
You can improve the stability of your buggy by searching for certain features. Some designs have a rotating front wheel that can be locked to provide extra stability on rough terrain. This is particularly helpful if you are going to use your pushchair off-road, or for running, as it gives you the confidence to walk any surface easily.
Another excellent stability feature is suspension. This makes your buggy more comfortable for both you and baby particularly on uneven ground. Some brands even provide the option of swapping out different tyres so that you can tailor the performance of your pushchair to suit the terrain you'll be taking it on.
Consider investing in a 3 wheel infant stroller (the advantage)-wheeled pushchair that has air-filled tires for a pushchair that can handle any terrain. They will give you an easier ride over bumps and are less prone to punctures than solid wheels. These wheels will let you use your buggy on unpaved surfaces and can be used on many surfaces such as grass, sand, and mud.
All-terrain strollers are usually larger than standard strollers however there are many excellent options that don't sacrifice on maneuverability or stability. One of our favorites is the UPPAbaby Ridge that comes with a range of impressive features that allow it to be used for off-road and jogging (once your child is old enough). These include large, foam-filled never-flat tyres, adjustable suspension and the ability to fold with one hand.
The Bugaboo Fox 5 is another excellent stroller that is all-terrain. It has similar capabilities to the UPPAbaby, and has great suspension, large puncture-proof tyres, and a one handed fold. It's also compatible with a broad variety of car seats and can be used as an infant carrier or carrycot too. It can be slightly heavier than other compact 3 wheel stroller-wheelers, but is an excellent option for parents looking to use their pushchair across all terrains.
Weight
The drawback of 3 wheel stroller with car seat wheeled strollers is that they can be heavy, especially when you have to navigate bumpy terrain and kerbs. The larger rear wheels of a 3-wheeler contribute to the overall weight, which is higher than the 4-wheeler. This means that you'll need more strength to lift them.
All-terrain models are a good choice if you need a pushchair that can cope with rough terrain or rough tarmac. These models typically come with specific features like strong suspension systems and large puncture-proof tires. Nowadays, manufacturers are developing all-terrain pushchairs using gel-filled or foam-filled tyres that are not designed to go flat and therefore don't need inflation.
UPPAbaby's Ridge all-terrain pushchair comes with an array of child-friendly features that will help to conquer all kinds of terrain with ease. The Ridge all-terrain pushchair comes with many features for parents, including the ability to lock the front wheel, an easy one handed fold, a large basket, and an adjustable handlebar. MFM reviewer Becky discovered that the Ridge was "very excellent for woodland walks as well as gravel tracks and market town cobbles".

It can be converted to the car seat or carrycot. The iCandy Core has a host of features that make it a great all-terrain pushchair - including large foam-filled tyres that never flatten and an excellent suspension system. The Core is heavier than other strollers for all-terrain use yet light enough to be able to move in rough terrain.
Folding

They usually have more durable suspension, as well as larger puncture-proof tyres that can prevent them from getting clogged up with grass, sticks or mud.

This is an all-terrain model with a myriad of amazing features including smooth suspension, a large basket, one-handed steering and fast one-handed fold.
