If you regularly walk through rough terrain, or want to go jogging on a treadmill, a three-wheeled pushchair is the best option. These are the best for those who need an automobile that can handle any terrain, from busy streets to forest tracks.

Find models with front wheels that can be locked or swivelled. This will give you more flexibility. Larger wheels both front and back can provide a more comfortable ride on varying surfaces.

Manoeuvrability

Manoeuvrability is among the main advantages of a 3 wheel pushchair. The wheels are set close to each other, allowing the chassis to turn and twist much more easily than a standard 4 wheel pushchair, making them perfect for busy streets and shopping. Some have small front wheels that are swivelled and locked for extra maneuverability. The Roma Atlas has two wheels in the front set close together and a smart lock that allows it to be as stable as a three-wheeler while maintaining the same maneuverability.

Stability
