The Benefits and Drawbacks of a 3 wheel double stroller Wheeled Pushchair

A three-wheeled pushchair is perfect for those who walk a lot on uneven terrain or jog. These are the best for those who need a pushchair that can tackle any terrain, from busy roads to forest tracks.

Find models with front wheels that can be locked or rotated. This will allow you more flexibility. Front and rear wheels that are larger provide a more comfortable riding on different surfaces.

Manoeuvrability

Manoeuvrability is one of the main advantages of a 3 wheel pushchair. The wheels are placed close to each other, which allows the chassis to move and turn more easily than a conventional 4 wheel pushchair, making them perfect for busy streets and shops. Some models have smaller front wheels that are swivelled and locked for extra maneuverability. The Roma Atlas, for example is equipped with two wheels that are positioned close together in front, and an ingenious swivel lock that gives the ability to maneuver like a 3-wheeler, but with added stability.

Many of our best-selling 3 wheelers are also 4-in-1 travel systems which can convert from stroller to pram to a toddler seat or car seat carrier as your child grows. This is great if you're planning on travelling with your family or taking frequent shopping trips. One such example is the Baby Jogger Nipper pushchair that includes Hauck's XL air wheel, a 360 swivel front wheel that can be locked and a suspension system that allows it to be used on all types of terrain, including off-road, and jogging once your baby is old enough to join in with you!

The right wheels for your pushchair is essential depending on where you'll use it the most. Moulded wheels are great for the city but not on more rough terrain.

Suspension is a great feature for stability. It makes your pushchair more comfortable to ride, for both you and your baby especially on rough terrain.

Weight

The downside of 3 wheeled strollers is that they can be heavy, especially if you need to maneuver through bumpy terrain or kerbs. The larger rear wheels of a 3 wheel all terrain pushchair-wheeler increase the overall weight, making it heavier than the 4-wheeler. This means that you will need more strength when lifting them.
