3 Wheeler Pushchairs
This 3-wheel pushchair was designed for a range of types of terrains including woodland walks to strolling down the main street. It has great suspension, tyres with foam-filled tyres that don't flatten, and the ability to fold with one hand. 3 wheeled pushchair can also add a second seat or carrycot.
If you want to use it in both rural and urban environments, you should choose a model with air-filled tyres (also called pneumatic tyres). They can handle rough and paved surfaces.
Easy to Manoeuvre
With one wheel in the front and two at the rear, a 3-wheel pram offers the best maneuverability and makes it easy to navigate bumpy terrain. Parents who lead an active lifestyle and want to explore off-road terrain will find these prams a excellent option. They also have more stability than prams with four wheels and are a great option for parents who wish to jog with their child in tow.
Many 3 wheeler pushchairs are designed to be all-terrain pushchairs. These are equipped with special features that enable them to be able to handle any terrain, such as sandy and muddy trails as well as uneven and stony terrain. They are typically larger than standard pushchairs, and some come with large puncture-proof wheels which are suitable for all-terrain usage. However, these wheels do increase the weight and size of the buggy so it's worth bearing this in mind when you choose an all-terrain pushchair for your children.
MFM reviewer Tara loved the Core's large wheels which, she says, "have great manoeuvrability and make it a breeze to get over rough ground and kerb pops in town." It also has an adjustable front wheel that locks and foam-filled tyres that never flat, which means you don't have to worry about punctures while on your journeys.
The UPPAbaby Ridge stroller with all-terrain design is a different model with a wide range of features such as suspension, adjustable handlebars and a one handed fold. It's also suitable from birth and can be transformed into a travel system with the purchase of a compatible car seat. The 3-wheeled stroller is available in a variety of finishes and colours.
Easy to fold
If you're planning on using your buggy a lot, a three-wheeler with easy folding wheels is a good option. This will help you save time when you have to carry the buggy into and out of a car or into a smaller space, such as an aisle in a supermarket.
Certain brands make it a big selling feature that their pushchairs are easy and simple to fold. This can be a significant selling point, especially if you're going to be using your buggy frequently for getting on and off public transport or often in and out of your car.
There are a variety of options when it comes to the simple and quick folding system. A lot of lightweight buggies have an easy pull-hand mechanism that allows you to fold the frame quickly and easily. This includes the renowned Priam pushchair which won silver in the MFM lightweight buggy review in 2014. The Baby Jogger City Mini also boasts a patented quick-fold system with only one hand needed and can be folded flat in just five seconds.
The choice of a pushchair that folds easily is crucial for those who plan to use it for walking in urban environments or with a child's car seat or carry cot. If you need the buggy to be stable for walking over uneven ground or bumping on and down curbs, it's recommended to go with a four-wheeler as they tend to have greater stability and are less likely to fall over than three-wheelers.
If you are planning on driving your buggy in rural areas or on unpaved tracks, look for models with tyres that are filled with air (sometimes called pneumatic) because they will be able to cope better with rough terrain than wheels that have been moulded. 3 wheel buggy have a lockable wheel on the front to give extra stability on rough terrain. Try pushing the pushchair over various types of terrain in the store if you are not sure of the type of terrain you'll use for. Some models offer a range of features that will help you adapt your pushchair to different terrains, including a suspension system and extra large puncture-proof tyres, and permit you to upgrade to additional tyre sets to withstand more challenging conditions.
Easy to clean
As most parents are aware, a pushchair is usually expensive, which is why it is essential to keep it looking nice and working well. Cleaning it regularly is the best way to do this. It is best to wipe it clean with warm, soapy water to get rid of most dirt and marks. However, you can also use a brush or a pipe (on low setting) to get into the corners and crevices of your stroller. It's best to do this outdoors on a dry day, tipping it upside down as much as possible to ensure you get inside the wheels and mechanisms, where dirt is often deposited.
If you are worried about stains on your clothes, try a solution that is made of vinegar and water. You can also apply bicarbonate soda on the cloth. Both of them can remove stubborn stains and help to neutralize odours. A regular clean-up with warm water can prevent any mould forming in the first place. This isn't just ugly, but also could be harmful for babies and toddlers to sit on.
The manual is one of the best ways to keep your pushchair in good shape and clean. The manual will give you information on how to put together and disassemble your buggy and will also provide information about the materials. The manual will show you how to wash the fabric sections as well as the hood and other components of the buggy (everyone recommends washing them at least two times every week) and to examine the pressure of air in the tyres on a regular basis (normally stated in the manual).
The chassis and moving components of most pushchairs wear out over time due to their frequent use. If left unattended, this may result in loose nuts and bolts or even rust. Therefore, it's recommended to check your stroller regularly for signs of wear. Contact the manufacturer immediately if you notice any issues. This will ensure that your pushchair operating properly and will prevent any safety issues.
Easy to transport
A 3 wheeler pushchair is much more maneuverable than a four-wheel model. This is especially true if the rear wheels are large and designed to handle rough terrain. They're usually able to overcome bumps and kerbs easily, which means you can maneuver it up and down and around town with ease. All-terrain pushchairs are perfect for those who reside in rural areas or take their baby or toddler out for walks frequently over rough terrain. These are great for woodland walks and for those who have to tackle difficult terrain. A lot of them can be tethered to your car seat or infant carriers for a one-stop solution.
Most pushchairs for all terrains have large, puncture-proof tires that are designed to be durable enough to handle bumpy and uneven surfaces. Many of them have good suspension to aid you in maneuvering difficult terrains and provide a comfortable ride for your child. They are also quite heavy, which means they may be difficult to lift when folded, especially if you're using them with children in the seat and you have many shopping bags.
Think about the size of the basket on the 3 wheeler you are contemplating. Many have smaller shopping baskets than their 4-wheel counterparts. If you intend to do lots of shopping, or have a child who is growing you may require a larger stroller that can hold your needs.
