Three Wheeler Pushchairs

Three wheeler pushchairs can be the ideal option for active parents who love to jog, or those looking for a stroller which can handle different terrains. They're simple to maneuver and fold neatly for transport or storage.

They are easily maneuverable in tight spaces, and supermarket corners are a breeze thanks to their swivel wheel on the front. Pick models with air-filled tires to handle rough roads and uneven pavements.

Strollers

There are a variety of strollers to choose from that are designed to meet the needs of a particular group of people. Some are designed for multiple babies (twins or a small age gap) while others are designed for singletons and the rest are designed to accommodate children from the age of four years. Many of these have safety guidelines to be adhered to, for example - any child seat or carrycot must be secured and must not be more than 20cm away from the edge of the frame.

three Wheeler pushchair wheel pushchairs tend to have a single front wheel making them more manoeuvrable than other models. This makes them ideal for narrow aisles and streets in shops where space is at a premium. If you're planning to use your stroller in many different environments, think about an all-terrain pushchair. With tyres that are tough they can take on rough terrain and bumps much more quickly than a regular stroller. Some even have suspension to ensure a more comfortable ride for your toddler or baby.

Some all-terrain strollers are made to be jogging buggies as well. This is ideal for parents who want to remain active and enjoy a brisk walk or run with their child in tow. These pushchairs typically come with a bigger frame and tyres than a standard stroller, plus they may include features such as the handbrake or a movable handlebar.

It's worth taking your stroller out for an initial test ride to see how it handles and how easy it controls. You'll need to decide whether you prefer air-filled or foam-filled tyres. Air-filled tyres are generally more durable, but they're also susceptible to punctures so you'll need to have an emergency repair kit.

If you are looking for a stylish and versatile option, take a look at the new 3-wheel pushchairs from iCandy. They are equipped with fantastic all-terrain options, such as suspension with large puncture-proof tyres, as well as an adjustable handlebar that can be adjusted to fit both dads and moms. They are also compliant with the EU REACH regulations and are low in phthalates, lead and other harmful chemicals.

Joggers

If you are a buggy jogger or a buggy runner then you'll require a three-wheeler stroller specifically designed for running. These have larger wheels than traditional strollers, and a suspension that is specially designed to handle bumps and uneven sidewalks. They're also typically heavier and bulkier, which makes them unsuitable for everyday use, unless you plan to take a stroll or go for an occasional run.

The Mountain Buggy Terrain jogger is one of the most sought-after 3 wheel running buggy-wheelers available on the market. It is a perfect blend of control and precision control to get active with stylish styling and great maneuverability in urban areas. It's a dream come true for the parent who is a dedicated runner but also wants to keep their baby close by and comfortable for long walks or running errands.

Other good joggers can be used to walk around the city, for example the UPPAbaby Ridge Stroller Jake or the Baby Jogger Jet City Elite 2. These have air-filled tyres which provide a smooth ride, but they are prone to punctures and you'll need to have a spare. Some have a suspension that is adjustable or heavy-duty to make the ride smoother on rough terrain.

It is possible, depending on your child's age, to easily transition from carrying a stroller to a jogging carriage. It's best to consult your pediatric physician prior to purchasing a jogging stroller, particularly if your doctor suggests waiting until your child is 6 months of age.

Another option is to purchase an jogger, and then put to it a car seat adapter. For example the phil&teds Sport buggy can be converted into a 2-in-1 travel system with an infant car seat, so you can take your child on runs or walks from day one.

The Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 3 wheel stroller for newborn-wheeler is stylish and practical 3-wheeler that can be used to stroll or light jog. It's a great choice for parents who are active and fashionable and can fit a car seat from birth (with the optional City infant car seat adapter). It comes with tyres that are air-filled and 3 recline positions, so your little one can enjoy a comfortable ride, and it folds down in a snap.

All-terrain

If you love to wander off the beaten track or reside in a rural area or you want to run with your child an all-terrain pushchair could be a good choice for you. The best all-terrain strollers will feature large, sturdy wheels that can withstand bumpy terrain, and have excellent suspension to make your child's journey comfortable.

These are usually larger than standard pushchairs, and can be difficult to fit in the boot of your car. These pushchairs are also more expensive than other pushchairs. Be aware of this as you shop around.

Choose a model that features adjustable height handlebars that can be used in the event that you and your partner have different heights. Think about whether you require a wrist strap to prevent it from falling off on hills or slopes. Some models have a fixed wheel on the front, which is easier to control when you're jogging. Some models have a swivel front wheel that can be locked into place to help you manoeuvre on uneven surfaces.

The type of tyre used is equally important. A lot of all-terrain pushchairs have air-filled tyres. They provide a smooth ride but can puncture easily. Some pushchairs feature gel or foam-filled tire that is less likely to puncture. However, it can increase the weight of the pushchair.

A good quality all-terrain pushchair will have a decent sized basket, which will be handy to carry your baby's shopping. Some have a compact, one-handed fold, which allows for easy storage when not in use. Often, they include a raincover and a footmuff.

One of our top all-terrain pushchairs is the Mamas & Papas Ocarro, which was awarded an award for the Mother and Baby Gold Award for 2017. Dual suspension allows you to take your baby on all-terrain strolls and even run around with it after your child is old. It is suitable for infants from birth. It has a fully reclining seat and can be used with a baby car or carrycot.

Folding

The majority of pushchairs fold. They require less space in your home and are easier to store into the boot of your car and are ideal if you're short on storage, have a small car boot or are planning on traveling a lot as families.

There are many different fold styles, so you need to look for one that suits your lifestyle and needs. For example, some of the latest buggy models have a groundbreaking auto-fold that folds down at the simple press of a button. This lets you hold your child as well as other children or bags using both hands. It's also great for parents who have back issues or are recovering from C-sections.

Some models are designed to fold more traditionally, with the seat still in place, which means they'll be a little bulkier and won't fit as well in your car or boot. Some models will require two hands or more to fold. This could pose a problem for parents who wish to hold their child while folding.

Whether you prefer an easy umbrella fold or a more complex mechanism, it's worth checking that the model you pick will be able to cope with the terrain you'll be riding it on. For example, if you'll be driving through lots of cobblestones and gravel tracks, then ensure that the wheels are made from air-filled tyres to offer the most comfortable ride for your child.

If you'll be using your pushchair mostly on roads that are paved and pavements then most three wheel pushchair-wheelers have moulded wheels that give your baby an easy ride. But, if you'll be traveling with your baby off-road or on dirt choose an option with a set of removable mudguards and/or a quick-release front wheel that will help keep your pushchair looking its best.
