3 Wheeler Pushchairs
This 3-wheel pushchair is made for a variety of terrains such as woodland walks, to strolling down the high street. It comes with a great suspension, tyres filled with foam that will never flatten, as well as the ability to fold with one hand. You can also add an additional seat or carrycot.
Pick a car with pneumatic tires (also called air-filled tyres) for those who plan to drive in both rural and urban areas. These can cope with rough terrain as well as tracks that are paved.
Easy to manoeuvre
A 3-wheeler is easier to maneuver on rough terrain because it has one wheel in front and two wheels in the back. They are a great choice for parents who wish to go off-road and enjoy an active life. They also have more stability than prams with four wheels and are a great option for those who wish to jog with their child with them.
Many 3 wheeler pushchair s are designed to be all-terrain pushchairs. They have features specifically designed to tackle any kind of terrain including sandy and muddy paths to uneven and stony terrain. They're generally larger than regular pushchairs, and some come with large puncture-proof wheels that are ideal for all-terrain use. However, these wheels can increase the weight and size of the buggy so it is important to keep this in mind when choosing an all-terrain pushchair to bring your family around.
MFM reviewer Tara was impressed with the wheels' large size that, she noted "have excellent maneuverability, and make it easy to get over rough terrain and even kerb-pop in town." The Core also has a locking front wheel, and never-flat tyres filled with foam, meaning you won't have to worry about punctures out on your adventures.
The UPPAbaby Ridge is yet another all-terrain pushchair that comes with a variety of amazing features, including suspension, a movable handlebar, and an easy fold. It is also suitable for infants from birth and can be transformed into an e-travel system by purchasing a car seat that is compatible. This 3-wheeler all-terrain pushchair is also available in a variety of finishes and colours to match your style.
Folding is easy
If you plan to use your buggy often and need a three-wheeler that has easy folding wheels is a good option. This will help you save time when it comes to loading the buggy into and out of your car, or into a tight space like the aisles of a supermarket.
Certain brands make it a major selling point that their pushchairs are fast and simple to fold. This is an important selling point, especially in the event that you are using your stroller to get on and off public transportation or in and out of your car regularly.
If you are looking for a quick and easy folding system, there are many options to choose from. Many of the lightweight buggies feature a neat one hand pull mechanism that lets you fold the frame quickly and effortlessly. This includes the popular Priam pushchair that was awarded silver in the MFM lightweight buggy review in 2014. The Baby Jogger City Mini has a patent-pending quick fold system that allows it to be folded in just five seconds with only one hand.
The choice of a pushchair that folds easily is also important when you intend to use it for walking in urban areas, or with a child car seat or carry cot. If you require the buggy to be stable when walking on uneven ground or bumping down and up curbs, it's best to choose a four-wheeler since they generally have more stability and are less likely to be swept over than three-wheelers.
If you plan to be taking your buggy out in rural areas or on unpaved tracks, choose models with tyres filled with air (sometimes called pneumatic) as these will cope better with rough terrain than moulded wheels. Some models have a lockable wheel on the front to provide extra stability on rough surfaces. Try pushing the pushchair over different types of terrain in the store if you are not sure of the type of terrain you'll use it on. Certain models come with a variety of features to help you adapt your pushchair to various terrains, including suspension systems, as well as large puncture-proof tyres, and let you upgrade to more tyre sets to withstand more challenging conditions.
Easy to clean
It is important to maintain the condition of your pushchair and maintain its appearance. The best way to do this is by cleaning it frequently. It is recommended to wipe it clean using soapy water and warm water to get rid of the majority of dirt and marks. However, you can also employ a brush or water hosepipe (on low setting) to get into the corners and crevices of your stroller. It's worth doing this outside on dry days, flipping it upside down as much as possible to ensure you get into the wheels and mechanisms where dirt is often deposited.
If you're worried about stains, try a solution of vinegar and water or bicarbonate of soda on a cloth. Both of these can take out the most stubborn stains and neutralize odors. Regularly wiping down the surface with warm water can also prevent mould from forming, which is not only unpleasant, but also unsanitary for toddlers and babies to sit on.
One of the best suggestions for keeping a pushchair clean and in good working order is to go through its manual. It will give you helpful information on how to assemble and disassemble your stroller and also details about the material. It will also explain how often the hood and fabric should be washed (everyone recommends at least two times every week) and that it's a good idea to check the air pressure of the tyres on a regular basis (typically indicated in the manual).
Because the majority of pushchairs are used often the chassis and moving parts can be subject to a lot of wear and tear over the course of time. If left unattended, this could result in loose bolts and nuts or even rust, so it's a good idea to inspect your stroller regularly for signs of wear. If there are any problems be sure to contact the manufacturer as soon as possible. This will keep your pushchair operating properly and will prevent any safety issues.
Easy to transport
A pushchair with 3 wheels is much more maneuverable than a four-wheel model. This is especially true if rear wheels are large and designed to handle rough terrain. It is possible to easily move them up and down the street and over bumps. If you reside in a rural location or regularly take your infant or toddler out on walks on rough terrain, then an all-terrain pushchair will be the best fit. They're great for strolls in the woods and tackling tricky ground, with many of them equipped to connect to your car seat or infant carrier for an all-in-one solution.
All-terrain pushchairs come with large, puncture-resistant tyres that are designed to be able deal with bumpy and uneven surfaces. Many of them have good suspension to aid you in maneuvering difficult areas and provide a comfortable ride for your child. They can also be very heavy, so they can be difficult to fold, especially when you're using them with children in the seat and have a lot of shopping bags.
Another thing to consider is the basket size of the pushchair with 3 wheels you're considering. A lot of them have smaller shopping baskets than their 4-wheel counterparts. If you're going to be doing lots of shopping or have a growing child or toddler, you might require a larger pushchair that can meet your changing requirements.
The Roma Atlas is a great example of a pushchair that can be used on any terrain. It has a single wheel at the front and two wheels at the rear. This gives it impressive manoeuvrability for such a large pram and the option of adding a car seat or baby carrier. It also has a variety of features that are suitable for parents, including a hand brake that is easy to use and a movable handlebar as well as an extended hood. It's a great option for walks in all terrains and is also able to be used as a jogging stroller once your child is old enough!
