Ten Three Wheel Pushchairs That Really Make Your Life Better

Why Buy a Three Wheel Pushchair?

A three-wheel pushchair provides more manoeuvrability and can be a good choice for urban or rural use. They typically have large, air-filled wheels (also known as pneumatic tyres) which can handle the most challenging terrains, and provide your baby with a smooth ride.

Many of them are ideal for running, and some have a lockable wheel on the front for a secure jogging experience. Many also feature a design for parents, with plenty of storage space and an adjustable handlebar.

Manoeuvrability

Three wheel pushchairs are a great alternative for parents who want a buggy that is easy to maneuver and can handle various surfaces including busy streets to forest tracks. With two wheels at the back and a single front wheel they can easily navigate around kerbs or obstacles and can be easily controlled with one hand. If you plan to use your pushchair on rough terrain, consider a model with large wheels that can be locked for stability and a suspension designed to provide an easy ride.

There are a variety of brands that provide three-wheelers in a range of styles, ranging from sleek and modern designs to robust and durable options. A quality three-wheeler should feature a slim frame that can fold down to a slim size, and fit into your car boot. Be sure to look for models that fold one-handed or have an open fold that will make it easier for you in setting up and getting going.

Many three-wheelers come with a locking and rotating front wheel. This allows you to change direction and turn quickly, which is great to navigate tight corners. Some models also come with hand brakes on the handlebar's side which makes it easier to reach and operate when climbing up steep slopes or working on rough ground.

All-terrain strollers come with large, puncture-proof wheels that allow you to take your baby wherever you want in any weather or on any surface. They're especially useful when you live in the countryside or frequently take long walks or runs with your child.

The UPPAbaby Ridge pushchair is an excellent example of a multi-terrain stroller equipped with numerous innovative features. These include an electric right-hand brake operated by a hand and large tyres that are filled with foam that do not require inflating, and a 3 wheel baby stroller that can be removed from the front for easier cleaning. It is suitable from birth (in the seat facing the world or with an infant carrier that's compatible) and can be converted into a travel system by adding the car seat of your choice using car seat adaptors.

Try the Ickle Bubba 3 wheeler buggy Wheeler for an attractive, practical and easy-to-drive 3 wheel pushchairs-wheel pram. It comes with large front wheels that are extremely maneuverable and a suspension seat. It's the ideal pushchair for a toddler or newborn and you can also upgrade to an infant carrier that is optional or the Ickle Bubba car seat for even more convenience.

Stability

While pushchairs with three wheels are more maneuverable, they are not as stable as models with four wheels, especially on terrains with rough surfaces, such as high kerbs or tree roots. Three-3 wheeled buggies models don't have as broad a base as four-wheeled models and can be less stable. Some models solve this issue by having features like suspension or a central tire that helps keep the buggy in place on uneven terrain.

A lot of three-wheelers are designed with urban living in mind and come with moulded wheels that can cope with paved tracks but won't offer an easy ride on grass or gravel roads. If you intend to take your pushchair for paths that are rural and urban choose an option with big air-filled tyres that are able to deal with uneven surfaces.

A second buggyboard or seat is an additional important factor to consider. Some three-wheelers come with only one seat and don't allow you to adjust the direction in which your baby's face is directed. Some are fitted with the carry cot or a car seat for babies as young as six months. If you're planning to add more elements to your stroller, ensure that it's simple to switch between different configurations. Ideally it should be done one-handedly and without the need for any tools.

A three-wheeled model is a ideal choice for joggers who want a light and flexible pushchair. They typically have a larger front wheel that is extremely maneuverable and feature suspension for agile smooth movement and control. Some also have foam-filled never-flat tyres that allow you to tackle rough terrain without risk of punctures.

The UPPAbaby Ridge pushchair is a great example of a multi-terrain stroller that meets all the criteria. It has a range features that can be used for rural and urban lifestyles such as a 360 pivoting lockable front wheel, great suspension and large, foam-filled, always-flat tyres. Once your child is old and has a running habit, this is a great choice for running. It has a neat folding mechanism, an adjustable handlebar, and a large 10kg basket.

Comfort

A pushchair with three wheels is more for rough terrain and bumpy surfaces than a regular pram or pushchair. They are great for parents living in rural areas, or who frequently take off-road routes. If you plan to use your pushchair to travel on these routes, it is important to ensure that the wheels are puncture-proof wheels that will prevent the clogging of grass and mud, as well as a strong suspension that can give your child or toddler an enjoyable ride.

You might also want to consider a three-wheel pushchair that is specifically designed for use on all terrains. The UPPAbaby Ridge is a great example and has a lot of outstanding features which make it an excellent option for off-road walks, jogging or going out in all weather conditions. The air-filled tyres have foam-filled rubber that means they're puncture-proof. The suspension is also very smooth and allows you to take your toddler or child on any terrain that is rough.

In addition it comes with a single-hand fold, so you can easily take it out and into the car boot or at home. The large, 10kg basket has a removable hood that shields your child from the elements. If the hood fabric does become damp or mildewed, it can be washed with cool, soapy water and dried outdoors.

If you need to stop, you can use the hand brake or foot pedal on a three-wheel pushchair. It is a good idea to check that the brake is easy to use and is in a position that won't interfere with using the handles. It is also advisable to look at the padding on the seat and whether your chosen model is parent or world facing. This will impact how much you travel, and also where.

Make sure to remember that a three-wheel pushchair is heavy and bulky. It is essential to ensure it can fit in your car boot, or that it's easy to lift to the floor of your home. Certain models are wide at the back making them difficult to maneuver in small areas or doors.
