Three Wheeler Pushchairs
If you're a busy parent who loves to run or are looking for a stroller which can take on a variety of terrains, three-wheeler pushchairs are an excellent choice. They're easy to maneuver and fold up neatly for storage or transport.
They are easy to maneuver in tight spaces and corner stores can be a breeze with their swivel wheel on the front. Make sure you choose models with air-filled tyres that can take on tracks and bumpy pavements.
Strollers
There's a vast selection of strollers available, all designed to meet different needs. Some strollers are made to accommodate multiple babies (twins, or children with a slight age difference), while others are for singletons. The rest are designed to fit children aged from birth to four. Many of them have safety guidelines that must be followed, for example - any child seat or carrycot must be fastened securely and can't be more than 20cm from the edge of the frame.
Three-wheel pushchairs are more maneuverable because they only have one front wheel. This makes them ideal for narrow streets and aisles in stores where space is limited. If you plan to use your stroller in a variety of different environments, consider an all-terrain pushchair. They're designed with tyres made of tough rubber that can handle rough terrain and bumps more quickly than regular strollers. Some strollers are equipped with suspensions to ensure a more comfortable ride.
A few all-terrain buggies can also be designed to be used as jogging buggies. This is ideal for parents who want to stay active and take a quick walk or run with their child in tow. These pushchairs come with a bigger frame, tyres, and wheels than a stroller. They could also come with a handbrake and adjustable handlebar.
It's worth taking your stroller for a test ride to see how it performs and how well it handles. You'll also have to decide which type of tyres prefer and whether they're foam-filled or air-filled. Air-filled tyres are typically more durable, but they're also susceptible to punctures, so you'll need a repair kit with you.

Joggers
If you're a Jogger (or buggy runner) or are planning to become a buggy runner, you'll need a 3 wheel stroller-wheeler pushchair that is specifically designed for running. These pushchairs have larger wheels than traditional strollers, and a special suspension to handle bumps and uneven sidewalks. They're also usually heavier and bulkier, making them unsuitable for everyday use unless you plan to go on an occasional run.

It is best to consult with your pediatrician prior to purchasing a jogging stroller especially if your doctor recommends waiting until your child is 6 months old. old.
Another option is to buy the jogger and then put on a compatible car seat adapter. For example the phil&teds Sport buggy can be turned into a 2-in-1 travel set with an infant car seat, which means you can take your baby for walks or runs from day 1.

All-terrain prams are a great option if you love walking off the beaten track, live in rural areas, or wish to run with your baby. The best all-terrain strollers will feature large, sturdy wheels capable of coping with bumpy terrain and excellent suspension to make your child's trip comfortable.
They are typically larger than standard pushchairs, and can be a hassle to store in your car boot. They also tend to be more expensive than other pushchairs so do bear this in mind when you are shopping.
You should choose a model that has adjustable height bars. This will be beneficial when you and/or your companion have different heights. It is also worth considering whether you'd prefer a wrist strap that reduces the chance of it rolling away on sloping ground or going over hills. Some models are designed to have a fixed front wheel, which is more manageable if you intend to use it for jogging. Others have a swivel front wheel that can be locked into place to allow you to maneuver on uneven surfaces.
The type of tire is equally important. Many all-terrain strollers are equipped with air-filled tires, which provide a smooth ride, but can puncture. Some have a foam or gel-filled tyre that are less likely to puncture, but they will add weight to the pushchair.
A good pushchair for all-terrain use will come with a decent sized basket, which is ideal for carrying baby's groceries. Some models have a compact, one-handed fold that allows for easy storage when not in use. They will often have an umbrella and a footmuff as well.

Folding
The majority of pushchairs fold. They are simple to store at home, and can easily be inserted in the car's boot. This is a great option for cars with boot spaces that are small or if you plan to travel frequently with your family.
There are a variety of fold types, so search for one that fits your lifestyle and preferences. For example the latest buggy models have a groundbreaking auto-fold system that folds by itself with a simple press of a button. This allows you to hold your baby or other children, or even bags with both hands. It's also ideal for parents who suffer from back problems or who are recovering from C-sections.
Some models fold more conventionally with the seat in place. This means that they are a bit bulkier and might not fit as snugly in your vehicle's boot. Some models require more than one hand to fold, which can be a problem when you are being a parent.
If you're looking for a simple umbrella fold or a more complex mechanism, you should ensure that the model you pick will be able to deal with the terrain you'll be riding on. If you plan to navigate many cobblestones and gravel tracks, then tyres with air will give you a more comfortable ride.
If you'll be using your pushchair mostly on pavements and paved roads the majority of three-wheelers come with moulded wheels that give your child an enjoyable ride. If you're taking your child off-road or on rough ground choose one with a set of removable mudguards and/or a quick-release front wheel to keep your pushchair looking its best.
