The Benefits and Drawbacks of a best 3 wheel travel system Wheeled Pushchair
A three-wheeled buggy is ideal for those who walk a lot on rough terrain or jog. They are great if you want a buggy that will be able to handle any terrain from busy high streets to tracks in the woods.
Look for models with front wheels that can be locked or swivelled. This gives you more flexibility. The rear and front wheels that are bigger offer the most comfortable riding on different surfaces.
Manoeuvrability
A 3-wheel pushchair is a great option for those looking to be able to maneuver easily. The wheels are placed close together allowing the chassis to move and turn more easily than a standard 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 has two wheels at the front that are set close together and a clever lock that allows it to be as stable as a three-wheeler while still allowing for the same maneuverability.
A lot of our most well-loved 3 wheelers can be converted from pram, stroller, car-seat and toddler seats as your child develops. This is great if you're planning on travelling as a family or for frequent trips to the shops. One such example is the Baby Jogger Nipper pushchair that includes Hauck's XL air wheel with a 360-swivel front wheel that can be locked and a suspension system that allows it to be used on all terrains including off-road and jogging when your child is old enough to be able to join in with you!
Another great option is the ickle Bubba Nipper, an all-terrain pushchair with great suspension and huge puncture-proof tyres, which make it suitable for off-road adventures as well as smooth city pavements. It is suitable for use from birth (in the reversible seat unit or with a carrycot compatible) and features a handy quick fold that can be folded with one hand to store your boot and for airport travel.
It is crucial to select the right wheels for a pushchair based on where it will be used most. Moulded wheels are ideal for the city but not on more rough terrain. If you intend to get your pushchair off roads, you should consider pneumatic tyres. They are able to handle rough terrain.
For a model of pushchair that is designed to handle both urban and rural environments check out our top-rated Bugaboo Fox 5 All-Terrain pushchair. It's got all the fantastic suspension and big wheels of an all-terrain model. However, it's also a brilliant urban pushchair, with a lightweight frame, an easy-to-use lockable front wheel, and a one-handed fold.
Stability
You can improve the stability of your vehicle by searching for certain features. Certain models have a rotating front wheel that can be locked to provide extra stability on rough terrain. This can be particularly useful when you're planning to be using your pushchair off-road or for jogging as it will give you the confidence to take on varying surfaces with ease.
Suspension is an additional feature to ensure stability. It can make your buggy more comfortable to ride, both for your child and you especially on uneven terrain. Some brands offer the option to change the tyres on their pushchairs so that they can be adapted to the terrain you will be using it on.
You should consider investing in a three-wheeled pushchair with air-filled tires for an infant stroller that can take on any terrain. These will provide an easier ride over bumps and are less vulnerable to punctures than traditional wheels. These wheels permit you to ride your buggy on surfaces that are not paved and can be used on many surfaces that include grass or sand, as well as mud.
All-terrain pushchairs tend to be a little wider than standard pushchairs however there are a few great options to choose from that don't compromise the stability or maneuverability. One of our favorites is the UPPAbaby Ridge, has a number of amazing features that allow it to be used for off-road use as well as jogging once your child is of the right age. It comes with large, foam-filled never-flat tyres and adjustable suspension and a quick one-handed folding.
The Bugaboo Fox 5 is another great stroller that is all-terrain. It is similar to the UPPAbaby, and has an excellent suspension, large puncture proof tires, and a single handed fold. It's also compatible with a broad variety of car seats and can be used as the infant carrier or carrycot as well. It is a bit heavier than some of the other 3 wheel infant stroller-wheelers, but is a great choice for parents who want to use their pushchair across all terrains.
Weight
The drawback of 3 wheeled strollers is that they are heavy, especially when you have to navigate bumpy terrain and kerbs. The larger rear wheels on a 3 wheeled travel system-wheeler also contribute to a heavier overall weight than 4 wheelers which means that you'll require more strength to lift them, particularly when folding.
All-terrain models are a great choice if you need a pushchair that can cope with rough terrain or rocky tarmac. These models usually come with special features such as strong suspension systems and large puncture-proof tires. Nowadays, manufacturers are developing all-terrain pushchairs using foam or gel-filled tyres which are not designed to go flat, and thus don't require inflating.
The UPPAbaby's Ridge all-terrain stroller offers many features that are parent-friendly and will help it tackle a variety of terrains with ease. It includes the ability to lock the front wheel, an easy and easy one-handed fold the large basket and an adjustable handlebar. MFM reviewer Becky said that the Ridge is “very suitable for walking in the woods, gravel roads and market town cobbles”.
Another brand to offer a range of all-terrain pushchairs is iCandy. The Core, their most recent all-terrain pushchair, is ideal for babies from birth. It can be fitted to a car seat or carrycot. The iCandy Core is packed with features that make it a great stroller for all terrains. These include large and foam-filled tyres which never flatten, and a superb suspension. The Core is heavier than other all-terrain strollers yet light enough to maneuver on rougher terrain.
Folding
If you're looking for a stroller that can handle the most difficult of terrain, you may think about an all-terrain model. This kind of pushchair will have large wheels both in the front and back to tackle rough, off-road terrain. Most often, they'll have stronger suspension, as well as larger puncture-proof tyres to prevent them from becoming blocked with sticks, grass or mud.
An excellent example of this kind of pushchair is the Mountain Buggy Ridge. This all-terrain model comes with many impressive features, including smooth suspension, spacious basket, one-handed steering, and quick, one-handed folding. It is also compatible with a car seat and carrycot (with adaptors) which means it can be used as early as six months.
Other all-terrain pushchairs include Bugaboo Fox 5, which is a 3 wheel push chair-wheeler with some seriously impressive off-road features. It has a huge 10kg basket, an easy one-handed folding, and an adjustable handlebar that can be adjusted by one hand. It comes with a lockable wheel on the front and never-flat foam-filled tyres.
