The Benefits and Drawbacks of a 3 wheel stroller cheap Wheeled Pushchair
If you often walk across rough terrain, or want to exercise on a treadmill, a three-wheeled pushchair is the perfect choice. They are the best option for those who need an automobile that can handle any terrain from busy roads to forest tracks.
Look for designs with front wheels that can be locked or swivelled. This will allow you more flexibility. Front and rear wheels that are bigger provide an easier ride on different surfaces.
Manoeuvrability
Manoeuvrability is a main advantages of a 3 wheel infant stroller wheel pushchair. The wheels are placed close to each other, which allows the chassis to move and turn more easily than a traditional 4 wheel pushchair, making them ideal for busy streets and shopping. Some have small front wheels that are locked and swivelled to give them extra maneuverability. The Roma Atlas, for example, has two wheels positioned close together in front and an innovative lock that swivels to give the ability to maneuver like a 3-wheeler with added stability.
A lot of our most well-loved 3 wheelers can be transformed from pram, stroller, toddler seat and car-seat carrier as your child grows. This is great for those who are planning to travel with your family, or make frequent trips to the shop. One such 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 types of terrain, including off-road, and jogging once your baby is old enough to join in with you!

It is essential to select the right wheels for a pushchair based on the location it is most likely to be used. Moulded wheels are great for the city but not on more rough terrain.

Stability
There are a number of features that you can look out for that will enhance the stability of your buggy. For instance, some models feature a swivelling front wheel that can lock in place to give you extra stability when driving on rough terrain.

Suspension is another good feature to ensure stability. It makes your buggy more comfortable to ride, both for the baby and you especially on rough terrain. Some brands even offer the option to swap out different tyres so that you can alter the performance of your pushchair to suit the terrain you will be taking it on.
