3 Wheeler Pushchairs
This 3-wheel pushchair is designed for a range of terrains, from woodland walks to strolling along the high street. It has great suspension, tyres with foam-filled tyres that never flatten, and a one-handed folding system. It also allows you to add an additional seat such as a carrycot or car seat.
If you plan to use it in both rural and urban environments, you should choose a model with air-filled tyres (also known as pneumatic tyres). They can withstand rough terrain, as well as tracks that are paved.
Easy to 3 wheeled pushchairs
Having one wheel in the front and two at the rear, a 3-wheel stroller provides greater maneuverability, making it easy to maneuver over rough terrain. Parents who lead an active lifestyle and want to take their kids off-road will find these prams a good option. They are also more stable than four-wheel prams, and are an excellent choice for parents who would like to run while their baby is in the stroller.
A large number of 3 wheeler pushchairs have been designed to be all-terrain pushchairs. They are equipped with special features that allow them to handle any terrain, from muddy and sandy pathways to uneven and stony ground. Some have large, puncture resistant wheels that are perfect for use on all terrains. However, these extra wheels do increase the weight and size of the buggy. So, it's worth bearing this in mind when selecting an all-terrain pushchair for your children.
MFM reviewer Tara was impressed with the large wheels of the Core that, she noted "have excellent maneuverability, and make it easy to maneuver over rough terrain and kerb-pop in town." The Core also has a locking front wheel, and tyres that never go flat, filled with foam, meaning you don't have to worry about punctures out on your adventures.
The UPPAbaby Ridge all-terrain stroller is another model with a wide range of features, including suspension, adjustable handlebars and an easy fold. It is also suitable for children at birth, and can be transformed into an ideal travel system by purchasing a car-seat that is compatible. The 3-wheeled stroller is available in a range of finishes and colours.
Easy to fold
If you're planning to use your buggy often and need a three-wheeler that has easy folding wheels is a good option. This will help you save time when it comes to loading the buggy in and out of your car or into a tight spot like an aisle in a supermarket.
Certain brands make it a big selling feature that their pushchairs are fast and simple to fold. This can be a significant selling point, especially in the event that you'll be using your buggy to get off and on public transport or often in and out of the car.
There are many options when it comes to a quick and simple folding system. Many lightweight buggies come with an innovative one-hand pull mechanism which allows you to fold the frame swiftly and easily. The renowned Priam stroller, which won silver in the MFM lightweight buggie review in 2014, is one of these. The Baby Jogger City Mini also features a patent-pending quick-fold system that requires only one hand required, and is able to be folded flat in just five seconds.
Choosing an easy-to-fold pushchair is also important for those who plan to use it for walking in urban areas or with a child's car seat or carry cot. If you need your buggy to be stable to move over uneven ground or to bump up and down curbs, then a four-wheeler is the best choice. They are generally more sturdy and less likely to topple over than three-wheelers.
If you plan to be driving your buggy in rural areas or on unpaved tracks, you should look for models with tyres that are filled with air (sometimes called pneumatic) because they will be able to be more able to handle rough terrain than moulded wheels. Certain models have wheels that lock on the front to give extra stability on rough surfaces. You can test the pushchair on various types of terrain in the store if uncertain of the kind of terrain you'll use it for. Some models have a range of features to help you adapt your pushchair to various terrains, including suspension systems and large puncture-proof tyres. They also allow you to upgrade to more tyre sets for tackling more extreme conditions.
Easy to clean
As most parents are aware that a pushchair can be expensive, so it's essential to keep it in good condition and operating properly. The best way to do this is to clean it frequently. A good wipe down with soapy water warm and warm will get rid of most dirt and marks, but it's also recommended to make use of a brush and pipe hose (on a low setting) to get into the corners and the nooks and crannies of your stroller or pram. It's best to do this outside on dry days, flipping it upside down as much as possible to ensure that you get into the wheels and mechanisms where dirt often collects.
If you're worried about staining you can try a solution of vinegar and water or bicarbonate of soda on a cloth. Both of them can remove stubborn stains and help to neutralize odours. Regularly wiping the surface with warm water can also keep mould from developing which is not just ugly, but also unsanitary for toddlers and babies to sit on.
One of the most effective tips for keeping a pushchair clean and in good working order is to go through the manual. The manual contains information on how to assemble and disassemble your buggy as well as information on the materials. The manual will tell you how to wash the fabric sections as well as the hood and other components of the buggy (everyone recommends washing them at least twice every two weeks) and also be sure to check the pressure of the air in the tyres on a regular basis (normally indicated by the manual).
The metal chassis and moving parts of the majority of pushchairs will wear in time due to their frequent use. This can cause loose bolts and nuts or even corrosion in the event of neglect. It is essential to check your pushchair for signs of wear regularly. If there are any problems be sure to contact the manufacturer as fast as you can. This will not only ensure that your pushchair in good condition, but it will also avoid any potential security issues that may arise from faulty equipment.
Easy to transport
A 3-wheeler pushchair is much more maneuverable than a 4 wheel model. This is especially true if rear wheels are big and designed to handle rough terrain. You can easily maneuver them across the street and over bumps. All-terrain pushchairs are ideal for those who reside in rural areas or take their baby or toddler on frequent walks over rough terrain. They are ideal for walks in the woods and for tackling difficult terrain, with many of them able to attach your car seat or infant carrier for an all-in-one solution.
Most all-terrain pushchairs come with large, puncture-proof tires that are designed to be tough enough to handle uneven and bumpy surfaces. A lot of them come with good suspension to assist you in navigating difficult terrains and make the ride comfortable for your child. They can also be very heavy, making them difficult to lift when folded. This is especially true in the case of a child in your seat and many bags.
Think about the size of the basket on the 3 wheeler you're thinking about. A lot of 3 wheelers have smaller baskets than their 4 wheel counterparts. If you are planning to go on lots of shopping or have a child who is growing you might need a larger stroller that can hold you.
An excellent example of an all-terrain pushchair is the Roma Atlas, which has one front wheel and two large back wheels. It is a large pram that can be easily maneuvered. It can also be fitted with an infant or car seat carrier. It has a number of parent-friendly features, including an easy-to-use hand brake, adjustable handles and an expansive hood that can be extended. It's an excellent choice for all-terrain walks and can also be used as a jogging pushchair when your child is old enough!
