The Benefits and Drawbacks of a 3 Wheeled Pushchair

A three-wheeled pushchair is perfect for those who regularly walk on rough terrain or jog. They are a great option if need a buggy that can take on any terrain, from busy streets to woodland tracks.

For more manoeuvrability, look for a model that has locking or swivelling front wheels. The rear and front wheels that are larger give you the most comfortable ride on different surfaces.

Manoeuvrability

Manoeuvrability is one of the major advantages of a three wheel buggies wheel pushchair. The wheels are close and allow the chassis to turn and turn more easily than a 4 wheel pushchair. This makes them suitable for busy streets and shops. Some models even have a pair of front wheels that can be locked and swivelled for extra manoeuvrability when needed. The Roma Atlas, for example has two wheels placed close to each other at the front, and an ingenious lock that swivels to give it all the maneuverability of a 3 wheel double stroller-wheeler with added stability.

Many of our most popular 3 wheelers can be converted from stroller, pram, toddler seat and car-seat carrier as your child grows. This is great when you plan to travel with your family, or take frequent trips to the store. The Baby Jogger Nipper is a excellent example. It features Hauck airwheels XL with a 360-degree locking swivel wheel and a suspension that lets it be used on all terrains.

The ickle Bubba Nipper is a different alternative. It's an all-terrain stroller, with large puncture-proof tyres as well as a great suspension that allows it to go on both off-road excursions and smooth city pavements.
