Three Wheeler Pushchairs
Three wheeler pushchairs can be an ideal choice for parents who love to jog or are looking for strollers that can withstand different terrains. They are easy to maneuver and fold neatly to be stored or transported.
With one front wheel that is able to swivel and turn, they're easy to turn in tight spaces, making supermarket corners a breeze. Look for models with air-filled tyres to take on tracks and bumpy pavements.
Strollers
There are a variety of strollers on the market, each designed to meet certain requirements. Some are specifically designed for multiple babies (twins or a small age gap) and others are suitable for singletons, and the rest are designed for children up to the age of four years. Some of these products have safety guidelines which must be adhered to. For instance any child's seat or cot that is carried must be secured properly and cannot be further than 20cm away from the frame's edge.
Three wheel pushchairs tend to have a single front wheel making them more manoeuvrable than other models. This makes them ideal for narrow streets or aisles in shops where space is limited. Consider an all-terrain stroller when you intend to use it in different settings. They are designed with tough tyres that can handle rough terrain and bumps more quickly than standard strollers. Some strollers have suspensions that make the ride more comfortable.
Certain all-terrain buggies are designed to be used as jogging buggies. This is a great option for parents who want to exercise and take their child along on a brisk stroll or run. These pushchairs typically come with a bigger frame and tyres than a regular stroller, and may come with features like a handbrake or adjustable handlebar.
If you're planning to run with your stroller, it's worth taking a test drive to see how you feel about the ride and how it's easy to control. You'll have to decide if you prefer air-filled or foam-filled tyres. Air-filled tyres tend to be more durable, but they are also more prone to punctures. You'll require a repair kit to keep with you.
For a stylish and versatile option, take a look at the new 3-wheel pushchairs from iCandy. These all-terrain pushchairs are equipped with excellent features, including a suspension system and large puncture-proof tires. They also come with an adjustable handlebar for parents and mothers. They also comply with the EU REACH regulations as well as low in phthalates, lead and other chemicals.
Joggers
If you are a buggy jogger or a buggy runner, you'll need a 3 wheel stroller travel system-wheeler stroller that is designed specifically for jogging. These have larger wheels than standard strollers, and a suspension that is specially designed to cope with bumps and uneven sidewalks. These are also heavier and bulkier than traditional strollers, which makes them unsuitable for use in everyday situations unless you intend to go for a regular run.
The Mountain Buggy Terrain is one of the best 3 wheel travel Stroller-wheel joggers you can buy. It offers maximum control and precise steering for getting active with refined styling and excellent maneuverability in urban areas. It's the ideal vehicle for parents who are dedicated runner but also would like to keep their child close by and comfortable for long walks or errands.
Other good joggers can be used to stroll through the city, such as the UPPAbaby Ridge Stroller Jake or the Baby Jogger Jet City Elite 2. These are tyres with air-filled tires which provide a smooth ride but are prone to punctures, so you'll need to have an extra. Some models also have adjustable or heavy-duty suspension to make the ride more comfortable on rough terrain.
It is possible depending on the age of your child to seamlessly transition from a carrycot to a jogging carriage. But, it's always best to talk to your pediatric physician first, especially if they recommend waiting until your child is at least six months old.
Another option is to purchase the jogger and then put on a compatible car seat adapter. The phil&teds Sport buggy, for example is able to be converted into a 2-in-1 system with an infant seat to take your baby for walks or runs from the first day.
The Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 3 wheel double buggy-wheeler is stylish and practical 3-wheeler which can be used for strolling or jog lightly. It's a great choice for parents who are active and fashionable and can fit carseats starting at birth (with the optional City infant car seat adapter). It comes with air-filled tyres as well as 3 wheel stroller with car seat recline positions, so your child can have an enjoyable ride. it folds up in the blink of an eye.
All-terrain
All-terrain strollers are a great option if you love exploring off the beaten path or are in rural areas, or would like to run with your child. The best all-terrain pushchairs will have big, rugged wheels that can cope with bumpy terrain and a great suspension to ensure a comfortable ride for your little one.
They are generally larger than standard pushchairs and can be difficult to fit in the boot of your car. They are also more expensive than other pushchairs so keep this in mind when looking around.
You should choose models that have a height-adjustable bar. This will be helpful when you and/or your companion have different heights. Consider whether you need an adjustable wrist strap to keep it from falling off on hills or slopes. Some models have a fixed wheel on the front, which is easier to control when you're jogging. Others come with a swivel rear wheel that can be locked into place to help you manoeuvre on uneven surfaces.
The type of tyre is equally important. A lot of all-terrain strollers have air-filled tires, which provide an easy ride, but can puncture. Some pushchairs have a foam- or gel-filled tire that is less likely to puncture. However, it will increase the weight of the pushchair.
A good all-terrain stroller will come with a large basket that is useful to carry your baby's food. Some models will come with a convenient, compact fold that can be folded in one hand to help you put it away when not in use. Often, they include a raincover and footmuff.
The Mamas & Papas Ocarro is one of our top all-terrain pushchairs. It was awarded a Mother and Baby Gold Award in 2017. The dual suspension is able to handle rough terrain, allowing you to take your child for walks on all-terrain surfaces and even go jogging with it (once your child is old enough). It is suitable from birth, has a fully reclining seat and can be used as a travel system that includes an infant car seat or carrycot attached.
Folding
Some of the most popular pushchairs fold. They are smaller in your home and are also easier to store into the boot of your car and are ideal when you're in a tight space or have a small car boot or are planning on doing lots of travelling as a family.
There are many different fold types, so look for one that suits your lifestyle and needs. For instance some of the most recent buggy models have a groundbreaking auto-fold that folds down at the simple press of a button. This frees your hands to handle a baby, bags or other children, and is ideal for parents with back problems or recovering from C-sections.
Other models are designed to fold more traditional and with the seat in place, which means they'll weigh a bit more and won't be as comfortable to fit in your car or boot. Some models will require two hands or more to fold. This could be an issue for parents who want to hold their child while folding.
If you're looking for a simple umbrella fold or a more complicated mechanism, you should ensure that the model you pick will be able to deal with the terrain you'll be using it on. If you plan to navigate a lot of cobblestones and gravel tracks, then tyres that are filled with air will provide an easier ride.
If you'll be using your pushchair mainly on pavements and paved roads the majority of three-wheelers have moulded wheels that give your child a smooth ride. If you're planning to take your child off-road or on rough terrain, choose a model that has removable mudguards, and/or a front wheel with quick-release. This will make your pushchair look its best.
