See What Three Wheeler Pushchairs Tricks The Celebs Are Using
Three Wheeler Pushchairs
If you're a busy parent who loves to jog or searching for a stroller that is able to be able to handle a variety types of terrain, three wheeler pushchairs are a great option. 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. Select models equipped with air-filled tires to withstand bumpy roads and pavements.
Strollers
There's a vast selection of strollers available that are designed to meet different needs. Some are made for multiple babies (twins or with a tiny age gap), others are suitable for singletons and the rest are designed to accommodate children from the age of four years. Certain of these products come with safety guidelines which must be adhered to. For example the child's seat or carrying cot must be secured with a secure strap and should not extend further than 20cm away from the frame's edge.
Three-wheel pushchairs are easier to maneuver since they have just one front wheel. This makes them ideal for narrow aisles and streets in shops where space is at a premium. Consider an all-terrain stroller if you plan to use it in different environments. Built with tough tyres they can take on rough terrain and bumps much more quickly than a standard stroller. Some even have suspension to help ensure a more comfortable ride for your toddler or baby.
Some all-terrain strollers are built to be jogging buggies well. This is an excellent option for parents who wish to exercise and take their child for a stroll or run. These pushchairs have a larger frame, tyres and wheels than a stroller. They may also come with a handbrake and adjustable handlebar.
It's worth taking your stroller for an initial test ride to see how it performs and how easy it controls. You'll need to decide if you prefer foam-filled or air-filled tyres. Air-filled tyres are more durable but they're also more susceptible to punctures. You'll need a repair kit to carry around with you.
For a stylish and versatile alternative, check out the new 3 wheel pushchair with car seat-wheel pushchairs from iCandy. They have some fantastic all-terrain features, including suspension systems that is large enough to withstand puncture-proof tyres as well as an adjustable handlebar to suit both dads and moms. They are also compliant with the EU REACH regulations as well as low in lead, phthalates and other chemicals.
Joggers
If you're a running enthusiast (or buggy runner) or want to be a buggy runner, you'll need a 3-wheeler pushchair that is specifically designed for running. These pushchairs come with larger wheels and a suspension system that can handle bumps and uneven sidewalks. They're also typically heavier and bulkier, which makes them less suitable for daily use, unless you plan to take a stroll or go for an occasional run.
The Mountain Buggy Terrain is one of the top three-wheel joggers available on the market. It is a combination of precise steering and the highest level of control to keep you active, along with refined design and top-quality maneuverability in urban environments. It's a dream come true for parents who are avid runner, but also would like to keep their child close by and comfortable for long walks or 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. They have tyres that are filled with air which provide a smooth ride, but they are prone to punctures and you'll need an extra. Some models also have adjustable or heavy-duty suspension to make the ride more comfortable on rough terrain.
Depending on the age of your child, you might be able to make the transition from using a carrycot or infant car seat into one of these strollers without too much difficulty. It is best to consult with your pediatric physician prior to purchasing a jogging stroller especially if your doctor recommends waiting until your child is 6 months of age.
Another option is to purchase an jogger, and then put to it a car seat adapter. For example the phil&teds Sport buggy can be transformed into a 2-in-1 travel set with an infant car seat which means you can take your baby for walks or runs from day one.
The Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 3 wheeler pushchair off road-wheeler is stylish and practical 3-wheeler which can be used to stroll or light jog. It's a great option for parents who are active and on-trend and can fit a car seat starting at birth (with the optional City infant car seat adapter). It has 3 recline positions and air-filled tires so that your child can have an enjoyable journey. It also folds quickly.
All-terrain
If you like to walk off the beaten path, live in a rural area or you want to run with your baby, an all-terrain pushchair may be the best option for you. The most effective all-terrain prams have big, rugged wheels that can handle bumpy ground and have a good suspension to make the journey more comfortable for your baby.
They're generally larger than standard pushchairs and could be a hassle to fit into your car boot. They also tend to be more expensive than other pushchairs, so do bear this in mind when you are shopping.
Choose a model that features adjustable height handlebars, which will help when you and your companion have different heights. Also, consider whether you'd prefer a wrist strap that reduces the chance of it rolling away on sloping ground or slipping over hills. Some models have a fixed wheel on the front, which is easier to control when you are jogging. Some models have a swivel wheel that can be locked into place to help you navigate on uneven surfaces.
The type of tyre you choose is equally important. A lot of all-terrain strollers have air-filled tires, which offer a smooth ride, but are also prone to puncturing. Some pushchairs have the gel- or foam-filled tire, which is less likely to puncture. However, it will increase the weight of the pushchair.
A good all-terrain stroller will come with a large basket that is useful for carrying your baby's groceries. Some models have a compact, one-handed fold that allows for easy storage when not in use. It is common to find raincovers and footmuffs included as well.
One of our top all-terrain pushchairs is the Mamas & Papas Ocarro, which was awarded the Mother and Baby Gold Award for 2017. Dual suspension lets you take the baby on all-terrain strolls and even run with it when your child is old. It is suitable for infants from birth. It has a fully reclining seat and can be used in conjunction with an infant car or carrycot.
Folding
The majority of pushchairs fold. They are smaller in your home and are more convenient to fit in the trunk of your car which is ideal for those who are short on space or have a tiny car boot or are planning on doing lots of travelling as a family.
There are a variety of folds. So, pick one that is appropriate to your lifestyle and needs. For example, some of the latest buggy models come with a revolutionary auto-fold that folds down on its own with a simple push of a button. This leaves your hands free to juggle a baby, bags or other children, and is perfect for parents suffering from back pain or recovering from C-sections.
Some models fold more traditionally, with the seat in place. This means they are slightly heavier and may not fit as snugly in your vehicle's boot. Some of these will also require more than one hand to fold, which can be a problem if you want to do it whilst holding onto your child.
It's important to check that the stroller is capable of handling the terrain on which you intend to use it. For instance, if you'll be driving through many cobblestones or gravel tracks, make sure the wheels are made of air-filled tyres that will provide an easier ride for your baby.
If you'll be using your pushchair mainly on pavements and paved roads then most three-wheelers have moulded wheels that will give your child an enjoyable ride. But, if you'll be traveling with your baby off-road or over rough terrain, go for a model that comes with a set of movable mudguards and/or a quick-release front wheel that will help keep your pushing kit looking its best.
