Three Wheeler Pushchairs
three Wheeler pushchair wheeled pushchairs are an ideal choice for parents who love to run, or those looking for strollers that can withstand diverse terrains. They're simple to maneuver and fold easily to be stored or transported.
They are easy to maneuver in tight spaces and corner supermarkets become a breeze with their swivel wheel on the front. Look for models that have air-filled tyres to take on tracks and bumpy pavements.
Strollers
There are many strollers available, each designed to meet the needs of a particular group of people. Some are specifically designed for multiple infants (twins or a smaller age gap), others are suitable for singletons, and the rest are designed for children from the age of four years. Many of these have safety guidelines that must be followed for example, a child seat or carrycot has to be secured and must not be more than 20cm away from the edge of the frame.
Three-wheel pushchairs are easier to maneuver because they have only one front wheel. This makes them ideal for narrow aisles and streets in shops where space is limited. If you plan to use your stroller in a variety of different environments, you should consider an all-terrain pushchair. They're built with tough tyres that can handle rough terrain and bumps more quickly than regular strollers. Some strollers come with suspensions to make the ride more comfortable.
Some all-terrain strollers are built to function as jogging buggies well. This is a great option for parents who want to stay active and enjoy a vigorous walk or run with their child in tow. These pushchairs come with a bigger frame, tyres and wheels than strollers. They may also come with an adjustable handlebar and a handbrake.
It's worth taking your stroller for an initial test ride to see how it performs and how well it handles. You'll need to decide whether you prefer foam-filled or air-filled tyres. Air-filled tyres are typically more durable, but they are also prone to punctures so you'll need a repair kit with you.
Take a look at the brand new 3-wheeled pushchairs made by iCandy for a stylish and multi-purpose option. They have some fantastic all-terrain options, such as suspension systems with large puncture-proof tyres, as well as an adjustable handlebar that can be adjusted to fit both dads and moms. They also comply with the REACH regulations of the EU. This means that they are low in lead and phthalates.
Joggers
If you are a buggy jogger or buggy runner then you'll require a three wheel pushchairs-wheeler stroller designed specifically for jogging. These pushchairs have larger wheels than traditional strollers, and a suspension designed specifically to cope with bumps and uneven sidewalks. These are also heavier and bulkier than standard strollers, making them unsuitable for daily use unless you intend to take a short run.
The Mountain Buggy Terrain is one of the top 3 wheel parent facing pushchair-wheel joggers available on the market. It offers precise steering and maximum control for getting active, along with refined design and world-class maneuverability in the city. It's a dream come true for the parent who is a committed runner, but also wants to keep their baby close to them and comfortable for long walks or errands.
Other good joggers can be used to stroll around the city, for example the UPPAbaby Ridge Stroller Jake or the Baby Jogger Jet City Elite 2. They have air-filled tires which offer a smooth ride, but are prone punctures. You'll require a spare. Some have adjustable or heavy-duty suspension to make the ride even smoother over rough ground.
Depending on the age of your child, you may be able to move from using a carrycot or infant car seat into one of these jogging strollers without much trouble. However, it's best to check with your pediatrician first, particularly when they suggest waiting until your child is at minimum 6 months old.
Another option is to purchase the jogger and then put to it a car seat adapter. The phil&teds Sport buggy, for instance, can be converted into a 2-in-1 unit with an infant seat, allowing you to take your baby on walks or runs from the beginning of their life.
The Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 is a stylish yet practical 3 wheeler pushchairs-wheeler which can be used for leisurely strolls and light running. It's perfect for parents who are looking to be active and fashionable. The City infant car seat can be used from birth using the adapter that is available. It comes with air-filled tyres as well as three recline positions, which means your little one can enjoy a comfortable ride, and it folds up in a snap.
All-terrain
All-terrain strollers are a great option if you love exploring off the beaten path, live in rural areas, or would like to run with your baby. The best all-terrain prams will have big, rugged wheels that can withstand bumpy terrain and a great suspension to make your journey comfortable for your little one.
They are typically larger than standard pushchairs, and can be heavy to store in your car boot. They are also more expensive than other pushchairs so do bear this in mind when shopping around.
You should look for a model that has an adjustable bar that can be adjusted in height. This is helpful for those who have different heights. It is also worth considering whether you'd prefer a wrist strap that reduces the risk of it rolling away on sloping ground or slipping over hills. Some models are made with an incline front wheel fixed, which will be more manageable if you intend to use it for jogging. Others have a swivel front wheel that can be locked in place to allow you to maneuver on uneven surfaces.
The type of tyre used is crucial. A lot of all-terrain pushchairs have air-filled tyres that provide smooth rides but could puncture easily. Some have a gel-filled or foam-filled tyre which are less likely to puncture, but can increase the weight of the pushchair.
A good pushchair for all-terrain use will come with an adequate-sized basket which will be handy to carry your baby's shopping. Some will have a handy compact fold that is one-hand to make it easier to put it away when not being used. They will often have raincovers and footmuffs included too.
One of our favourite all-terrain pushchairs is the Mamas & Papas Ocarro, which won an award for the Mother and Baby Gold Award for 2017. The dual suspension is able to handle rough terrain, allowing you to take your baby for walks on all-terrain surfaces and even run with it (once your child is old enough). It is suitable for babies from birth. It has a fully reclining seat, and can be used in conjunction with an infant car or carrycot.
Folding
A lot of the most sought-after pushchairs fold. They require less space in your home and are more convenient to put into the car's boot, making them perfect for those who are short on space, have a small car boot or are planning to travel a lot as with your family.
There are a variety of fold types, so look for one that fits your lifestyle and needs. Some of the latest buggys have an auto-fold feature that folds itself at a push of a single button. This lets you hold your baby, other children or bags with both hands. It's also great for parents who suffer from back problems or who are recovering from C-sections.
Other models are designed to fold more traditional, with the seat still on, so they'll be heavier and won't be as comfortable to fit in your boot or car. Certain models require two hands or more to fold. This could be an issue for parents who want to hold their child while folding.
It is essential to ensure whether the pushchair is able handle the terrain on which you plan to use it. If you're planning to travel lots of cobblestones or gravel tracks, then air-filled tyres will give you more comfort.
If you'll be using your pushchair mainly on roads that are paved and pavements the majority of three-wheelers come with moulded wheels that will ensure your child has a smooth ride. But, if you'll be traveling with your baby off-road or over rough terrain, go for a model that comes with a set of movable mudguards and/or a quick-release front wheel that will help keep your pushchair looking its best.
