How To Get Better Results With Your 3 Wheeled Pushchair
The Benefits and Drawbacks of a 3 Wheeled Pushchair
A three-wheeled pushchair is perfect for those who walk a lot on rough terrain or run. They are great if you require a vehicle that can handle all types of terrain, from busy streets to tracks in the woods.
Look for models with front wheels that can be locked or rotated. This will allow you more flexibility. The rear and front wheels that are larger also offer the most comfortable ride on different surfaces.
Manoeuvrability
A 3-wheel pushchair is an excellent option for those who wish to be able to maneuver effortlessly. The wheels are placed close to each other, allowing the chassis to rotate and turn much more easily than a traditional 4 wheel pushchair, making them perfect for busy streets and shopping. Some have small front wheels that are swivelled and locked for extra maneuverability. The Roma Atlas, for example has two wheels placed close together in front and an innovative lock that can swivel to give it all the maneuverability of three wheels, with added stability.
A majority of our top-selling 3 wheelers are also 4-in-1 travel systems which can transform from a stroller to toddler seat and car seat carrier as your child grows. This is a great option when you're planning to travel with your family or taking frequent shopping trips. One example is the Baby Jogger Nipper pushchair that comes with Hauck's XL air wheels and a 360 swivel lockable front wheel and a suspension system that makes it suitable for all types of terrain, including off-road, and jogging after your child is old enough to join in with you!
The ickle bubbling Nipper is a different option. It's an all-terrain stroller that has large puncture-proof tyres and great suspension that allows it to go on both off-road excursions and smooth city pavements. It's suitable from birth (in the seat unit that is reversible or with a carrycot that is compatible) and features a handy one-handed instant fold for storage in the boot and airport travel.
The right wheels for your pushchair is crucial dependent on the location you'll be using it the most. Moulded wheels are great for the city, but not so on more rough terrain. If you plan to get your pushchair off pavement, opt for pneumatic tyres.
