3 Wheeler Pushchairs
This 3-wheel pushchair was designed for a range of terrains such as woodland walks, to strolling along the main street. It features a fantastic suspension, tyres with foam-filled tyres that will never flatten, as well as a one-handed folding system. It also lets you add an additional seat such as a carrycot or car seat.
If you want to use it in urban and rural areas, select an air-filled model (also called pneumatic tyres). They can withstand rough ground as well as paved tracks.
Easy to maneuver
Having one wheel at the front and two at the back, a 3-wheel pram offers greater maneuverability, making it easy to navigate bumpy terrain. They're a great option for parents who want to explore off-road and live an active lifestyle. They're also more stable than 4 wheel prams, and are a great option for parents who want to jog while their baby is in tow.
Many 3 wheeler strollers have been designed to be all-terrain strollers. These are equipped with features that permit them to handle any terrain, including sandy and muddy paths as well as stony and uneven terrain. Some have large, puncture resistant wheels that are ideal for use on all terrains. However, these wheels do add weight and size of the buggy so it's important to keep this in mind when choosing an all-terrain pushchair to bring your family around.
MFM reviewer Tara was impressed with the wheels' large size she stated that they "have excellent manoeuvrability, and make it easy to maneuver over rough terrain and kerb-pops in the city." The Core also comes with a front wheel that locks, and tyres that never go flat, filled with foam, so you won't have to worry about punctures on your adventures.
The UPPAbaby Ridge is yet another all-terrain pushchair that comes with a variety of fantastic features like suspension, an adjustable handlebar and the ability to fold with one hand. It is also suitable for infants from birth and can be converted into a travel system by purchasing a car seat that is compatible. The 3-wheeler all-terrain pushchair is also available in a range of finishes and colours to suit your preferences.
Easy to fold
If you plan to use your buggy a lot and you want to make it easy, a three-wheeler with folding wheels is a great option. This will save you time when it comes to loading the buggy into and out of your vehicle or in a tight area such as the aisles of a supermarket.
Certain brands advertise that their pushchairs are able to fold up quickly and easily. This can be a huge selling point, especially in the event that you'll be using your buggy a lot to get off and on public transport or often in and out of your car.
There are many options when it comes to an easy and quick folding system. Many of the lightweight buggies feature an innovative one-hand pull mechanism that allows you to fold the frame quickly and effortlessly. The renowned Priam stroller, which was awarded silver at the MFM lightweight buggie review in 2014, is one of these. The Baby Jogger City Mini also features a patent-pending quick-fold system that requires just one hand required and can fold flat in less than five seconds.
The choice of a pushchair that folds easily is also important for those who plan to use it to walk in urban areas, or with a child car seat or carry cot. If you require the buggy to be stable for walking on uneven ground or bouncing down and up curbs, it's recommended to opt for a four-wheeler because they are more likely to have better stability and are less likely to be swept over than three-wheelers.
If you are planning to take your buggy on rural roads or non-paved tracks, choose one with air-filled tyres. They will be able to handle rough terrain better than moulded wheels. Certain models also have wheels that can be locked for added stability over tough surfaces. You can test the pushchair on various types of terrain in the store if not sure of the type of terrain you'll use it on. Some models have a range features that can help you adapt your stroller to various types of terrains. They include suspension systems and extra large puncture-resistant tyres as well as the capability to upgrade tyre sets to withstand more challenging conditions.
Easy to clean
It is crucial to keep the condition of a pushchair and maintain its appearance. Cleaning it on a regular basis is the best way to achieve this. A good wipe down using warm soapy water will take away most dirt and marks however, it's a good idea to make use of a brush and pipe hose (on a low setting) to get into the corners, places that aren't accessible to your pram/stroller. It's best to do this outdoors on dry days, flipping it upside down as much as possible to ensure you get into the wheels and mechanisms, where dirt often collects.
If you're concerned about stains on your clothes, consider a solution consisting of water and vinegar. Also, you can apply bicarbonate soda on a piece of cloth. Both of these can take out staining that is difficult to remove and neutralize smells. A regular wash down with warm water will also stop any mould from forming in the first place. This isn't just unsightly, but also can be harmful for babies and toddlers to sit on.
The manual is one of the best ways to maintain the condition of your pushchair and clean. This will contain helpful information on how to put together and take down your buggy, as well as material information. It will also inform you how often the fabric sections and hood should be cleaned (everyone recommends at least once every week) and it's a good idea to examine the pressure of the tyres regular basis (typically stated in the manual).
Since the majority of pushchairs are used regularly the chassis made of metal and moving parts can be exposed to a lot wear and tear over time. If left, this can result in loose bolts and nuts or even rust. It's an ideal idea to examine your pushchair regularly for signs of wear. If there's any issue ensure that you contact the manufacturer as fast as you can. This will ensure that your pushchair is operating properly and will prevent any safety issues.
Easy to transport
A 3 wheeler pushchair is much more maneuverable than a 4-wheel model. This is particularly true if the rear wheels are large and designed to deal with rough terrain. You can easily maneuver them across the street and over bumps. If you live in a rural area or often take your child or toddler for walks over rough ground, then an all-terrain pushchair will be the best choice. These are great for walks in the woods and for challenging terrain. A majority of them can be attached to car seats or infant carriers to provide a one-stop solution.
Most pushchairs for all terrains have large, puncture-proof tires that are designed to be tough enough to cope with uneven and bumpy surfaces. However, many of them still have good suspension too to help you navigate tricky areas and ensure that the ride is as comfortable as it can be for your child. They can also be very heavy, making them difficult to lift once they are folded. This is especially the case in the case of a child in your seat as well as lots of bags.
Another thing to take into consideration is the size of the basket for the pushchair with 3 wheels you're thinking about. A lot of 3 wheelers have smaller baskets than their four wheel counterparts. If you plan to do lots of shopping, or have a growing child you may require a larger stroller that can hold your needs.
The Roma Atlas is a great example of a pushchair that can be used on any terrain. It has a single wheel at the front and two wheels at the back. It is a large pram that is easily maneuvered. It can also be fitted with a car seat or infant carrier. It is equipped with numerous parent-friendly features, including an easy-to-use hand brake, adjustable handles and an expansive hood that can be extended. It's great for all-terrain walking and can also be used as a jogging stroller when your child is at the appropriate age.
