The 10 Most Scariest Things About 3 Wheel Pushchairs

3 Wheel Pushchairs

If you're a keen run or simply seeking a more versatile stroller, 3 wheel pushchairs have it all. Three-wheel prams, that have air-filled tires instead of the massive wheels typically used on jogging buggies that are designed for paved roads are able to navigate through woodland trails and cobbled streets.

Some models can be heavy and heavy due to their massive wheels. Make sure they fold down in a compact manner and don't occupy the entire space of your boot.

Stability

Parents are often frightened by tales of three-wheeled pushchairs that tip over. However, this is typically because of poor or poorly constructed models. When selecting a 3-wheeler it is important to check how stable the buggy is by testing it out in the person. Also, you should consider how it is easy to change direction or swerve using the front wheel alone, and how quick it can be done.

If you're planning on using your pushchair off-roading, opt for a model that has air-filled tyres (sometimes called pneumatic tyres) that can cope with rough terrain. These tyres can handle the bumps and sloughs of muddy pathways or gravel tracks far better than plastic moulded wheels and give your child a comfortable ride. Some models come with an lockable wheel on the front that can be used for rough terrain.

All-terrain pushchairs can be bulkier than standard buggies with four wheels and you'll need to consider how much space they'll take up in your car boot and whether you'll be in a position to lift it up and down stairs when folded. They can also be heavy to lift and move, so you should try one out in person to determine how much effort you'll have to put into lifting the buggy off the ground.

UPPAbaby's Ridge is an example of a three-wheeled pram that is stable, manoeuvrable and suitable for off-roading using a car seat attachment. It features a front-facing seat unit that can be attached to an UPPAbaby carrycot or you can add infant car seats using adaptors. The large rear wheels of the seat are filled with foam tyres that are never flat. They make it easy to navigate on rough terrain, while its smooth suspension and adjustable handlebar ensure a comfortable ride for your baby or toddler.

Manoeuvrability
