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

If you often walk across rough terrain, or want to run in a pushchair with three wheels, it's the perfect choice. They are the best option if you need an automobile that can handle any terrain, from busy roads to forest tracks.

Find models with front wheels that can be locked or turned. This will give you more flexibility. Larger wheels on the front and back also offer a more comfortable ride on different terrains.

Manoeuvrability

Manoeuvrability is one of the major advantages of a three wheel pushchair. The wheels are positioned close and allow the chassis to turn and turn more easily than a 4 wheel pushchair. This makes them perfect for busy shops and streets. Some models even have a pair of front wheels that can be locked and swivelled for additional maneuverability when required. The Roma Atlas, for example, has two wheels positioned close to each other at the front and an innovative lock that can swivel to give the ability to maneuver like a 3 wheel parent facing pushchair-wheeler, but with added stability.

A majority of our top-selling 3 wheelers come with a 4-in-1 travel systems that can convert from stroller to pram to a toddler seat or car seat carrier as your child grows. This is great if you intend to travel together as a family, or take frequent trips to the store. The Baby Jogger Nipper is a great illustration. It features Hauck XL airwheels with a 360-degree locking swivel wheel, and a suspension that allows it to be used on all terrains.

Another great option is the ickle bubba Nipper which is an all-terrain pushchair with excellent suspension and large puncture-proof tyres that allow it to be used for off-road adventures as well as smooth city pavements.

Choosing the right wheels for your pushchair is essential dependent on the location you'll be using it most. Moulded wheels work well for city life but won't be able to handle rougher terrain. If you're planning to take your pushchair off paved surfaces, opt for air-filled tyres, sometimes known as pneumatic tyres capable of coping with rough terrain.
