If you frequently walk on rough terrain or would like to exercise, a three-wheel pushchair is the ideal choice. They are ideal if you want a buggy that will be able to handle any terrain from busy high streets to woodland tracks.

To make your ride more maneuverable, look for a model with locks or swivelling front wheels. Larger wheels both front and back offer a more comfortable ride over varying terrains.

Manoeuvrability

Manoeuvrability is one of the major advantages of a three wheel pushchair. The wheels are placed close together allowing the chassis to rotate and turn more easily than a conventional 4 wheel pushchair, making them perfect for busy streets and shopping. Some even have a pair of front wheels that can be locked and swivelled for extra maneuverability when needed. The Roma Atlas, for example is equipped with two wheels that are positioned close to each other at the front and an innovative swivel lock that gives it all the maneuverability of a 3 wheel jogger-wheeler with added stability.

A majority of our top-selling 3 wheelers are also 4-in-1 travel systems that can convert from stroller to pram to toddler seat and car seat carrier as your child grows.

One such example is the Baby Jogger Nipper pushchair that comes with Hauck’s XL air wheels, a 360 swivel front wheel that can be locked and an adjustable suspension system that allows it to be used on all types of terrain, including off-road, and jogging when your child is old enough to start jogging with you!
