See What Three Wheeler Pushchairs Tricks The Celebs Are Using
Three Wheeler Pushchairs
Three wheeler pushchairs are the ideal option for parents who love to run or are looking for strollers that can withstand various terrains. They're easy to maneuver and fold up neatly to be stored or transported.
With just one front wheel that can swivel and turn, they're easy to turn in tight spaces, making supermarket corners effortless. Choose models with air-filled tires that can handle rough roads and pavements.
Strollers
There's a wide selection of strollers on the market each made to meet the different needs. Some are made for multiple infants (twins or a smaller age gap), others are suitable for singletons, and the rest are designed for children up to the age of four years. Many of them have safety guidelines that must be adhered to for example, a child seat or carrycot needs to be secured and must not be more than 20cm from the edge of the frame.
Three wheel pushchairs tend to have a single wheel on the front, making them more manoeuvrable than other models. This makes them ideal for navigating narrow streets or store aisles where space is limited. If you plan to use your stroller in a variety of different environments, consider an all-terrain pushchair. With tyres that are tough, they can tackle bumps and rough terrain more easily than the regular stroller. Some strollers come with suspensions that make the ride more comfortable.
Some all-terrain strollers are made to function as jogging buggies well. This is great for parents who wish to stay active and enjoy a brisk walk or run with their child in tow. These pushchairs typically come with a bigger frame and tyres than a standard stroller, and they can include features such as the handbrake or a movable handlebar.
If you're planning to jog with your stroller, consider having a test drive in order to see how you feel about the ride and how easy it is to control. You'll also have to decide what kind of tyres you prefer and whether they're filled with air or foam. Air-filled tyres tend to be more durable, but they're also susceptible to punctures and you'll need to have a repair kit with you.

They have some fantastic all-terrain features such as suspension, large puncture-proof tyres and an adjustable handlebar to suit both mums and dads. They also meet REACH regulations of the EU. This means that they are not high in lead and phthalates.
Joggers
If you're a running enthusiast (or buggy runner) or are planning to become, you will need a 3 wheel stroller lightweight-wheeler pushchair specifically designed for running. These have larger wheels than traditional strollers, and a special suspension to handle bumps and uneven sidewalks. They're also typically heavier and bulkier, making them less suitable for everyday use unless you intend to go on an occasional run.
The Mountain Buggy Terrain is one of the best 3 wheel stroller and car seat-wheel joggers available on the market. It offers precise steering and the highest level of control to keep you active, along with refined design and world-class maneuverability in urban areas. It's the ideal choice for parents who run but want to keep their child close and comfortable on long walks or for errands.
There are also other good Joggers that are suitable for daily strolling, such as the UPPAbaby Ridge Stroller Jake and the Baby Jogger City Elite 2 Stroller Jet. These have air-filled tyres, which give a very smooth ride, but are susceptible to punctures, so you'll need to have an extra. Some also have adjustable or heavy-duty suspension to make the ride even smoother on rough terrain.
It is possible dependent on your child's age to seamlessly transition from carrying a stroller to a jogging sleigh. However, it's recommended to consult your pediatrician first, particularly when they suggest waiting until your child is at least six months old.
Another option is to purchase an 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, allowing you to take your baby on runs or walks from day one.
The Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 is a stylish yet practical 3 wheel umbrella stroller-wheeler that is ideal for casual strolling and light jogging.

It has air-filled tyres and three recline positions, which means your child can have an enjoyable ride. it folds down in a snap.
All-terrain
All-terrain prams are an excellent choice if you enjoy walking off the beaten track, live in rural areas, or wish to run with your baby. The best all-terrain strollers feature big, robust wheels that can withstand bumpy terrain and excellent suspension to make your child's journey comfortable.
They're typically bigger than standard pushchairs and can be bulky to store in your car boot. They are also more expensive than other pushchairs. Keep this in mind when you are shopping for a new one.
You should look for a model that has adjustable height bars. This will be beneficial for those who have different heights. You should also consider whether you'd like a wrist strap, which minimises the chance of it rolling across the ground on sloping surfaces or going over hills. Some models have a fixed wheel at the front, which is more manageable when you're jogging. Some models 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. A lot of all-terrain pushchairs have air-filled tyres. They provide an easy ride, but they can puncture easily. Some pushchairs have a foam- or gel-filled tire that is less likely to puncture. However, it can increase the weight of the pushchair.
A good all-terrain stroller will include a large, spacious basket that is useful for carrying your baby's groceries. Some will have a convenient compact fold that is one-hand to make it easier to put it away when not being used. Most often, they include a raincover and a footmuff.
One of our favorite all-terrain pushchairs is the Mamas & Papas Ocarro, which was awarded a Mother and Baby Gold Award for 2017. Dual suspension allows you to take your child on a stroll across the entire terrain and even run with it when your child reaches the age of. It is suitable from birth and has a fully reclining seat, and can be used as a travel system with an infant car seat or carrycot.
Folding
Some of the most common pushchairs fold. They require less space in your home and are more convenient to fit in the car's boot, making them perfect when you're in a tight space or have a small car boot, or plan to travel a lot as with your family.
There are a variety of folds, so pick one that fits your lifestyle and needs. For example the latest buggy models feature a revolutionary auto-fold that collapses by itself with a simple pressing. This frees your hands to handle a baby, bags, or other children and is perfect for parents with back problems or recovering from C-sections.
Some models fold more conventionally, with the seat on. This means that they are a bit bulkier and might not fit as tightly in your car or boot. Some models require a couple of hands to fold, which could be a problem if are holding onto your child.
It doesn't matter if you prefer a simple umbrella fold or a more complex mechanism, you should ensure that the pushchair you choose will be able to cope with the terrain you'll be riding on. For instance, if you'll be navigating a lot of cobblestones or gravel tracks, make sure the wheels are made from air-filled tyres for the most comfortable ride for your baby.
If you'll use your pushchair mostly on pavements and paved roads the majority of three-wheelers have moulded wheels that give your baby an enjoyable ride. However, if you'll be taking your child off-road or on dirt, go for an option that comes with a set of movable guards for mud and a quick-release front wheel to keep your pushchair looking its best.
