They are simple to maneuver in tight spaces and corner stores are a breeze thanks to their swivel front wheel. Pick 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 designed for multiple babies (twins or a small age gap) and others are suitable for singletons and the rest are designed for children up to the age of four years. Certain products have safety guidelines which must be adhered to. For instance, any child seat or cot for carrying must be secured with a secure strap and not be at least 20cm from the frame's edge.
Three wheel pushchairs tend to have a single wheel on the front, making them more manoeuvrable than other models. This makes them perfect for navigating narrow streets or aisles of stores where space is limited. Consider an all-terrain stroller when you intend to use it in different environments. Built with tough tyres they can take on bumps and rough terrain more easily than the standard stroller. Some models have suspensions to ensure a more comfortable ride for your toddler or baby.
Some all-terrain strollers are made to be jogging buggies well. This is ideal for parents who want to stay active and take a quick walk or jog with their child in tow. These pushchairs have a larger frame, tyres, and wheels than the stroller. They may also have a handbrake and adjustable handlebar.
If you're planning to jog with your stroller, it's worth getting a test drive to see how you feel about the ride and how it's easy to manage. You'll also have to decide which type of tyres you prefer, whether they're filled with air or foam. Air-filled tyres are more durable however they are more prone to punctures.

Joggers
If you're a Jogger (or buggy runner) or would like to become a jogger, you'll require a pushchair with three wheels that is specifically designed for jogging. These pushchairs have larger wheels and a suspension system to deal with bumps and uneven sidewalks. They are also heavier and more bulkier than traditional strollers, which makes them unsuitable for use in everyday situations unless you intend to go on an occasional run.

It offers maximum control and precise control to get active with stylish styling and great maneuverability in the city.

There are also other good joggers that can be used for daily strolling, such as the UPPAbaby Ridge Stroller Jake and the Baby Jogger City Elite 2 Stroller Jet. They have tyres that are filled with air, which give a very smooth ride, but are susceptible to punctures, so you'll need to carry an extra. Some have adjustable or heavy-duty suspension to make the ride more comfortable on rough terrain.
You might be able depending on the age of your child to seamlessly transition from carrying a stroller to a jogging sleigh. But, it's always best to talk to your pediatrician first, especially when they suggest waiting until your child is at least 6 months old.
You can also purchase the jogger, and connect a car seat adapter compatible with it. For instance the phil&teds Sport buggy can be transformed into a 2-in-1 travel set with an infant car seat so you can take baby on runs or walks from day one.

All-terrain
If you like to walk off the beaten track or live in a rural area or you want to run with your baby an all-terrain pushchair could be the right choice for you. The best all-terrain strollers feature big, robust wheels capable of coping with bumpy terrain and a great suspension to make your child's trip comfortable.
They're usually bigger than standard pushchairs, and are often difficult to fit into the trunk of your car. They also tend to be more expensive than other pushchairs, so keep this in mind when shopping around.
You should choose one that has an adjustable bar that can be adjusted in height. This will be beneficial when you and/or your companion have different heights. Think about whether you require an adjustable wrist strap to keep it from slipping off when you go down slopes or hills. Some models are made with an incline front wheel fixed, which will be more manageable if you want to use it for jogging. Others come with a swivel rear wheel that can be locked in place to allow you to maneuver on uneven surfaces.
The type of tyre you choose is equally important. Many all-terrain strollers are equipped with air-filled tires that provide an easy ride, but can puncture. Some pushchairs have gel or foam-filled tire that is less likely to puncture. However, it can increase the weight of the pushchair.
A quality all-terrain stroller will come with a large basket that can be used for carrying your baby's groceries. Some models have a compact, single-handed fold that makes it easy to store when not in use. Often, they will also include a footmuff and raincover.
One of our top all-terrain pushchairs is the Mamas & Papas Ocarro, which was awarded a Mother and Baby Gold Award for 2017.

It includes a fully reclined 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 are easy to store at home, and they can easily fit into the trunk of your car. This is perfect if your car boot is small or if you are planning to travel a lot with your family.
There are many different fold styles, so you need to look for one that suits your lifestyle and preferences. For instance, some of the latest buggy models come with a revolutionary auto-fold system that folds by itself with a simple press of a button. This allows you to juggle 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 in place. This means they are slightly heavier and may not fit as well in your vehicle's boot. Some of these will also require two or more hands to fold, which can be a problem if want to do it whilst being a parent.
Whether you prefer a simple umbrella fold or a more complicated mechanism, it's worth checking that the model you pick can cope with the terrain you'll be riding it on. If you're planning to travel many cobblestones and gravel tracks, then tyres with air will give you more comfort.
If you'll use your pushchair mostly on paved roads and pavements the majority of three-wheelers have moulded wheels which will give your child an easy ride. If you're planning to transport your child off-road or on rough terrain, select one with removable mudguards or an front wheel that has quick-release. This will make your pushing kit look its best.
