3 Wheel Pushchairs
Whether you're an avid run or simply seeking a stroller that is more flexible, 3 wheel pushchairs have everything. Unlike jogging buggies which often come with large wheels that are made for pavements 3 wheel prams equipped with air-filled tyres are able to tackle markets and woodland walks cobbles alike.
Large wheels, however, can make certain models heavy and bulky therefore make sure that it folds down compactly and doesn't take up all the space in your boot.
Stability
Many parents are dissuaded from buying three-wheel pushchairs due to stories of them falling over - however, this is usually due to poor quality or poorly designed models. It is crucial to test the stability of a three-wheeler by putting it to the test physically. You should also look at how it is simple to change direction or swerve with the front wheel only and how quickly it can be done.
If you're planning on using your pushchair off-road, go for a model with air-filled tyres (sometimes called pneumatic tyres) which can withstand rough terrain. These tyres will be more resistant to bumps and bumps on muddy paths or gravel roads than plastic wheels. They provide a more comfortable ride for your baby. Some models come with an lockable wheel on the front, which can be used to navigate rough terrain.
All-terrain pushchairs tend to be heavier than standard buggies on four wheels, so you may have to think about how much space they'll take up in your car boot and whether you'll be capable of lifting it up and down stairs when folded. It may be difficult to lift them, so you should try one out in person to see how heavy they are.
