A Look At The Myths And Facts Behind Three Wheeler Pushchairs
Three Wheeler Pushchairs
If you're a parent who loves to jog or searching for a stroller that is able to handle a variety of terrains, three wheeler pushchairs are a good choice. They are easy to move around 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 and make grocery corners effortless. Make sure you choose models that have air-filled tyres to overcome bumpy tracks and pavements.
Strollers
There's a huge range of strollers on the market, all designed to meet the needs of different people. Some strollers are designed to accommodate multiple infants (twins or children with a small age difference), while others are designed for singletons. The rest are designed to fit children from birth to age four. Many of these have safety guidelines to be adhered to For instance, any child seat or carrycot needs to be fastened securely and can't be more than 20cm from the edge of the frame.
Three-wheel pushchairs are more maneuverable because they have only one front wheel. This makes them perfect for narrow streets or aisles of stores where space is scarce. If you're planning to use your stroller in many different environments, consider an all-terrain pushchair. With tyres that are tough that can withstand rough terrain and bumps much more quickly than the standard stroller. Some strollers are equipped with suspensions to make the ride more comfortable.
Some all-terrain strollers are made to be jogging buggies well. This is great for parents who want to stay active and take a quick walk or jog with their child. These pushchairs usually come with larger frames and tyres than a regular stroller, and may include features such as an adjustable handlebar or handbrake.
It's worth taking your stroller for a test ride to see how it handles and how easy it controls. You'll need to decide whether you prefer foam-filled or air-filled tyres. Air-filled tyres tend to be more durable but are prone to punctures, so you'll need an repair kit on hand.

Joggers
If you're a jogger (or buggy runner) or want to be a jogger, you'll require a pushchair with three wheels that is specifically designed for jogging. These have larger wheels than traditional strollers, and a suspension that is specially designed to withstand bumps and uneven sidewalks. These are also heavier and bulkier than traditional strollers, making them unsuitable for daily use unless you intend to go on an occasional run.

They have air-filled tires which offer a smooth ride, but are susceptible to punctures. You'll require a spare. Some models also come with adjustable suspension or heavy-duty suspension to make the ride smoother over rough ground.
Based on the age of your child, you may be able to move from a carrycot or infant car seat to one of these strollers without a lot of difficulty. But, it's always recommended to consult your pediatrician first, especially if they recommend waiting until your child is at least 6 months old.
Another option is to buy the jogger and then put on a compatible car seat adapter. For instance the phil&teds Sport buggy can be turned into a 2-in-1 travel system with an infant car seat, so you can take baby for walks or runs from day one.

All-terrain
If you love to wander off the beaten track, reside in a rural area or you want to run with your baby, an all-terrain pushchair may be the best option for you. The best all-terrain strollers feature big, robust wheels capable of coping with bumpy terrain and excellent suspension to make your child's journey comfortable.
They are generally larger than standard pushchairs, and are often difficult to fit into the boot of your car. They also tend to be more expensive than other pushchairs, so do bear this in mind when shopping around.
You should choose a model that has a height-adjustable bar. This will be beneficial if you and/or your partner have different heights. Consider whether you need an adjustable wrist strap to keep it from rolling off when you go down slopes or hills. Some models are designed with an incline front wheel fixed, which makes it easier to control if you intend to use it for running. Others have a swivel front wheel that can be locked into position to assist you in maneuvering on uneven surfaces.
The type of tire is equally important. A lot of all-terrain pushchairs have air-filled tyres, which create a smooth ride but can puncture easily. Some pushchairs have the gel- or foam-filled tire, which is less likely to puncture. However, it will 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 have a compact, one-handed fold that makes it easy to store when not in use. Often, they include a raincover and a footmuff.

Folding
Some of the most common pushchairs fold. They take up less space in your home and are easier to fit in the boot of your car, making them perfect for those who are short on space or have a tiny car boot, or plan on traveling a lot as families.
There are many different fold types, so search for one that suits your lifestyle and preferences. Many of the newest buggy models feature an auto-fold, which collapses by itself with just one button. This allows you to hold your baby as well as other children or bags using both hands. It's also great for parents who have back issues or are recovering from C-sections.
Some models fold more traditionally, with the seat in place. This means they are slightly heavier and may not fit as well in your car or boot. Some of these will also require more than one hand to fold, which can be a problem if are being held by your child.
It's important to check that the pushchair will be capable of handling the terrain on which you plan to use it. If you plan to navigate many cobblestones and gravel tracks, then tyres that are filled with air will give you a more comfortable ride.
If you plan to use your pushchair mostly on pavements or paved roads the majority of three wheel pushchair-wheelers have moulded tires that will give your baby an easy ride. If you're planning to take your child off-road, or on rough terrain, choose one with removable mudguards or a front wheel with quick-release. This will help your pushchair look its best.
