Why You Should Concentrate On Enhancing 3 Wheeled Pushchair
The Benefits and Drawbacks of a 3 wheel jogger Wheeled Pushchair
If you frequently walk on rough terrain or would like to go jogging in a pushchair with three wheels, it's the perfect choice. They are ideal if you want a buggy that will handle all types of terrain, from busy streets to woodland tracks.
To make your ride more maneuverable, look for a model with locks or swivelling front wheels. Larger wheels on the front and back can provide a more comfortable ride over various terrains.
Manoeuvrability
Manoeuvrability is one of the key benefits of a 3 wheel pushchair. The wheels are positioned close which allows the chassis to turn and twist more easily than a 4 wheel pushchair. This makes them ideal for busy shops and streets. Some models have smaller front wheels that can be locked and swivelled for additional maneuverability. The Roma Atlas, for example, has two wheels positioned closely together at the front and an ingenious lock that swivels to give it all the maneuverability of a 3-wheeler, but with added stability.
Many of our most loved 3 wheel travel system wheelers are able to be converted from pram, stroller or car-seat and toddler seats as your child grows. This is a great option if you're planning on travelling with your family or on frequent trips to the shops. One such example is the Baby Jogger Nipper pushchair that includes Hauck's XL air wheel with a 360-swivel front wheel that can be locked and a suspension system that allows it to be used on all types of terrain, including off-road, and jogging once your baby is old enough to start jogging with you!

It also features an easy fold that can be folded with one hand for storage in the boot and for travel to airports.
Choosing the right wheels for your pushchair is important depending on where you'll use it the most. Moulded wheels are great for urban use, but they won't perform well on more rough terrain. If you intend to take your pushchair off paved surfaces you should choose tyres that are filled with air which are sometimes referred to as pneumatic tyres, which are capable of coping with rough terrain.

Stability

Suspension is a great feature for stability. It can make your buggy more comfortable ride, both for your child and you especially on uneven terrain. Certain brands allow you to alter the tyres of their pushchairs to tailor it to the terrain you will be using it on.

Weight
The drawback of 3 wheeled pushchairs is that they can be quite heavy, particularly when navigating bumpy ground and kerbs. The bigger rear facing 3 Wheel stroller wheels on a 3-wheeler add up to a greater overall weight than 4 wheelers which means you'll need more strength to lift them, especially when folding.
All-terrain models are a great choice if you need a pushchair that can cope with rough terrain or rough tarmac.
