See What Three Wheeler Pushchairs Tricks The Celebs Are Using
Three Wheeler Pushchairs
Three wheeler pushchairs are the ideal option for active parents who love to jog, or those looking for strollers that can withstand different terrains. They're easy to manoeuvre and fold neatly for storage or transport.
They are easy to maneuver in tight spaces, and supermarket corners can be a breeze with their swivel front wheel. Pick models with air-filled tires that can handle bumpy roads and pavements.
Strollers
There are many strollers on the market each designed to satisfy a specific need. Some strollers are designed to accommodate multiple babies (twins or children with a small age difference) while others are for singletons. The rest are designed to fit babies from birth until age four. Many of these have safety guidelines that must be followed, for example - any child seat or carrycot must be fastened securely and can't be more than 20cm away from the edge of the frame.
Three wheel pushchairs usually have a single front wheel making them more maneuverable than other models. This makes them perfect for narrow streets or aisles in shops where space is at a premium. If you're planning to use your stroller in a variety of different environments, you should consider an all-terrain pushchair. Designed with tough tyres that can withstand bumps and rough terrain more easily than a regular stroller. Some even have suspension to help to make the ride more comfortable for your toddler or baby.
Some all-terrain strollers are designed to function as jogging buggies well. This is a great option for parents who wish to stay active and take a quick stroll or run with their child. These pushchairs typically have a larger frame and tyres than a standard stroller, plus they may have features like the handbrake or a movable handlebar.
If you plan to jog with your stroller, consider taking a test drive to see how you find the ride and how easy it is to control. You'll also have to decide what kind of tyres you prefer, whether they're filled with air or foam. Air-filled tyres tend to be more durable, but they are also more prone to punctures. You'll require a repair kit keep in your bag.
Look at the new 3 wheel reversible stroller-wheeled pushchairs by iCandy for a stylish and versatile option. They are equipped with fantastic all-terrain features such as suspension systems with large puncture-proof tyres, as well as an adjustable handlebar that is suitable for both mums and dads. They are also in compliance with the EU REACH regulations and are low in lead, phthalates and other chemicals.
Joggers
If you are a buggy jogger or a buggy runner then you'll require a three-wheeler stroller designed specifically for running. These pushchairs come with larger wheels and a suspension system to deal with bumps and uneven sidewalks. These are also heavier and more bulkier than traditional strollers, making them unsuitable for daily use unless you plan to go on an occasional run.
The Mountain Buggy Terrain jogger is one of the most well-known 3 wheeler strollers-wheelers on the market. It is a perfect blend of control and precise steering for getting active with refined styling and excellent manoeuvrability within the city. It's a dream come true for the parent who is a dedicated runner but also would like to keep their child close to them and comfortable for long walks or running errands.
There are also other good Joggers that can be used for strolling around the city, such as the UPPAbaby Ridge Stroller Jake and the Baby Jogger City Elite 2 Stroller Jet. These are air-filled tires that provide a smooth and comfortable ride, but are prone punctures. You'll require a spare. Some models have adjustable or heavy-duty suspension to make the ride smoother on rough terrain.
Depending on the age of your child, you may be able to make the transition from a carrycot or infant car seat to one of these jogging strollers without a lot of difficulty. But, it's always best to talk to your pediatrician first, particularly when they advise waiting until your child is at minimum six months old.
Another option is to buy an jogger, and then put on a compatible car seat adapter. The phil&teds Sport buggy, for example is able to be converted into a two-in-one system that includes an infant seat so that you can take your baby on walks or run from the first day.
The Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 is a stylish and practical 3 wheel push chair-wheeler which can be used for leisurely strolls and light running. It's perfect for parents who want to be active and trendy. The City infant car seat can be used from birth using an adapter available. It comes with air-filled tyres as well as 3 wheel stroller reversible seat recline positions, so your little one can enjoy a comfortable ride, and it folds down in an instant.
All-terrain
If you enjoy walking off the beaten path or live in a rural area or want to go jogging with your child, an all-terrain pushchair may be the best option for you. The best all-terrain strollers feature large, sturdy wheels that can withstand bumpy terrain and excellent suspension to ensure your child's ride is comfortable.
They're typically bigger than standard pushchairs and can be heavy to fit into your car boot. These pushchairs are also more expensive than other pushchairs. Keep this in mind when shopping around.
You should choose models that have an adjustable bar that can be adjusted in height. This is helpful for those who have different heights. You should also consider whether you'd prefer a wrist strap, which minimises the risk of it rolling across the ground on sloping surfaces or crossing hills. Some models are designed to have a fixed front wheel which is easier to control if you intend to use it for jogging. Others have a swivel front wheel that can be locked in place to help you manoeuvre on uneven surfaces.
The type of tyre is also important. Many all-terrain pushchairs use air-filled tyres that provide an easy ride, but they can puncture easily. Some models have a gel-filled or foam-filled tyre, which are less prone to puncture but will add weight to the pushchair.
A good all-terrain stroller will have a large basket that is ideal to carry baby's grocery items. Some have a compact, single-handed fold that allows for easy storage when not in use. Often, they will also include a footmuff and raincover.
The Mamas & Papas Ocarro is one of our favourite all terrain pushchairs. It won a Mother and Baby Gold Award in 2017.

It is suitable from birth and has a fully reclining seat, and can be used as a travel system that includes an infant car seat or carrycot.
Folding
Some of the most common pushchairs fold. They are smaller in your home and are easier to put in the trunk of your car, making them perfect when you're in a tight space or have a small car boot, or plan on doing lots of travelling as with your family.
There are many different fold types, so look for one that fits your lifestyle and requirements. The latest models of buggy have an auto-fold feature that folds itself at one button. This allows you to carry a baby bags or other children, and is perfect for parents suffering from back pain or recovering from C-sections.
Some models fold more conventionally, with the seat in place. This means they're more bulky and may not fit as tightly in your boot or vehicle. Some models will require two hands or more to fold. This could pose a problem for parents who need to hold their child while folding.
It's important to check that the pushchair will be capable of handling the terrain you intend to use it. If you plan to navigate lots of cobblestones or gravel tracks, then tyres with air will provide an easier ride.
If you plan to use your pushchair primarily on pavements or paved roads and roads, then the majority of three-wheelers have moulded tires that will allow your child to enjoy a smooth ride. However, if you'll be taking your child off-road or on rough ground opt for a model that comes with a set of movable guards for mud and a quick-release front wheel to keep your pushing kit looking its best.
