The Benefits and Drawbacks of a 3 Wheeled Pushchair
A three-wheeled buggy is ideal for those who regularly walk on rough terrain or jog. They are the best 3 wheel stroller travel system choice if you need a pushchair that can tackle any terrain from busy roads to forest tracks.
For greater maneuverability, opt for a model that has locking or swivelling front wheels. Larger wheels on the front and back can provide a more comfortable ride over varying surfaces.
Manoeuvrability
Manoeuvrability is one of the major advantages of a three wheel buggies wheel pushchair. The wheels are close together, allowing the chassis turn and twist more easily than a 4 wheel pushchair. This makes them perfect for busy shops and streets. Some even have a small pair of front wheels that can be locked and swivelled for extra manoeuvrability when needed. The Roma Atlas has two wheels in the front set close together and a clever lock that allows it to be as stable as a three-wheeler while still allowing for the same maneuverability.
Many of our best-selling 3 wheelers are also 4-in-1 travel systems which can transform from a stroller to toddler seat and car seat carrier as your child grows. This is great 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 features Hauck's XL air wheels, a 360 swivel lockable front wheel and an adjustable suspension system that allows it to be used on all terrains, including off-road and jogging once your baby is old enough to start jogging with you!

It's important to choose the correct wheels for a pushchair based on the location it will be used the most. Moulded wheels are great for the city but not on rougher terrain. If you're planning to take your pushchair off paved surfaces choose tyres with air in them also known as pneumatic tyres able to cope with rough terrain.

Stability
There are a number of features you can check out for that will improve the stability of your buggy.

Suspension is another good feature to ensure stability. It makes your pushchair more comfortable to ride, for both your child and you especially on uneven terrain. Some brands also provide the option of swapping out tyres of different brands so that you can alter the performance of your pushchair to suit the terrain you'll be taking it on.

These wheels provide smoother rides over bumps, and are less likely to break than solid wheels. These wheels allow you to use your buggy on non-paved surfaces and can be used on many surfaces, including grass or sand, as well as mud.
