3 Wheel Pushchairs
If you're a fervent run or simply seeking an easier stroller 3 wheel pushchairs offer it all. Unlike jogging buggies which often have large wheels specifically that are designed for paths 3 wheel prams with tyres that are filled with air can handle the woods and market town cobbles alike.
Certain models are heavy and bulky due to their large wheels. Check that they fold down in a compact manner and don't occupy your entire boot space.
Stability
Many parents are turned off by three wheel pushchairs by stories of them tipping over, but this is usually due to poor or shoddy models. It is essential to test the stability of a three-wheeler by physically trying it out. You should also look at how it is easy to change direction or turn with the front wheel alone, and how quickly it can be done.
If you're planning to use your pushchair off-road, opt for a model with air-filled tyres (sometimes called pneumatic tyres) that are able to handle rough terrain. These tyres will be more resistant to bumps and bumps on muddy or gravel roads than the plastic wheels. They provide a smoother ride for your child. Some models come with locks on the front, which can be used for rough terrain.
All-terrain buggies may weigh more than standard buggies with four wheels. You may want to think about the space they'll take up in the trunk of your car and whether or not you'll be capable to lift them up and down stairs once folded. They can also be quite heavy to lift, so it's worth trying the one on your own to gauge how much effort you'll need to exert to lift the buggy off the ground.
UPPAbaby's Ridge is an example of a three-wheeled pram that is stable, manoeuvrable and suitable for off-roading with an attachment for a car seat. It has a world-facing seat that can be attached either to an UPPAbaby Carrycot or infant car seats can be added by using adaptors. The large rear wheels of the seat are filled with foam tyres with a 'never flat' design that allow it to navigate on rough terrain and its smooth suspension and adjustable handlebar provide the comfort of your toddler or baby.
Manoeuvrability
With two wheels at the rear and a single wheel at the front, 3 wheel pushchairs can move and turn more easily than four-wheeled pushchairs. They are great for walking through narrow streets and the crowded aisles of supermarkets. Many 3-wheeled pushchairs also offer a lock feature on the front wheel, which can enhance their ability to navigate narrow spaces and corners.
Another benefit of a 3-wheel pushchair is that it can tackle off-road terrain more efficiently than standard strollers and prams. For instance, iCandy's Core offers a range of features that make it perfect for outdoor adventures with your child. Tara who is an MFM reviewer, noted that it has a rural-style wheelbase and larger wheels. They, she added, "perform well on woodland tracks as well as cobbles and grass in market towns."
Three-wheel pushchairs are constructed to last, in addition to being highly maneuverable. They're typically designed with suspension systems that are able to take the shocks and bumps of various surfaces, ensuring that your baby will remain comfortable throughout their journeys. This makes them a great choice for families who love being outdoors but do not want to sacrifice convenience or comfort.
3 wheel pushchairs can be used runners, however you'll need to wait until your child is between 6 and 9 months old before you begin running with them (unless you have an infant carrier). Bugaboo's Sport Verso is a world-first offering a unique modular system that allows you to take your child from newborn to toddler by using a car seat and carrycot compatible with the chassis. It is possible to change between stroll and run modes, allowing you to effortlessly transition from a relaxing trip to the shops to a walk in the woods.
Folding
When not in use the majority of 3-wheel pushchairs fold easily and compactly to fit in the car's boot space or under the stairs. When folded they can be quite wide due to their huge back wheels.
iCandy Core has a wide range of features that parents will appreciate such as a large basket and adjustable handlebar. It can also fold with one hand. Its all-terrain abilities are also impressive, with a swivel-lock front wheel and large, foam-filled, never-flat tyres and a smooth suspension. This makes it perfect for strolls in the park or woodlands.
If you're looking to transform it into a travel system, the Ridge is compatible with an UPPAbaby carrycot or infant carrier (with car seat adaptors). The seat is set towards the world and is designed for infants who are 6 months of age. The UPPAbaby Ridge has a hand-operated break on the right side, which MFM reviewers have found to be useful particularly when pushing it across uneven terrain. This feature might not be available on all models. Be sure to verify before buying to make sure.

Off-road
Many pushchairs that are used for regular use struggle with bumpy terrain like rocky paths, cobbles and tree roots, however 3-wheeled buggies are much more able to handle these surfaces. They typically have larger rear wheels, and a lockable wheel on the front, which can be turned to traverse difficult terrain. This feature means that you can swiftly get into and out of small gaps, take difficult kerbs without difficulty and maintain control even on more difficult routes.
All-terrain strollers are ideal for families who love being outdoors and exploring the countryside, or going on off-road walks.

It's designed to handle all kinds of terrain, and comes with a world-facing chair and car seat adapter. 3 wheel buggy has large tyres that are filled with foam so you don't have to worry about punctures.
