3 Wheel Pushchairs

Three wheel pushchairs are great for those who are a jogger, or just would like a more versatile stroller. Three-wheel prams, with air-filled tires instead of the massive wheels that are often used on jogging buggies that are designed for paved roads are able to navigate through woodland trails and cobbled streets.

Certain models are heavy and bulky due to their huge wheels. Check that they fold down in a compact manner and don't occupy your entire boot space.

Stability

Many parents are dissuaded from buying three wheel pushchairs by reports of them tipping over - but this is often down to poor quality or poorly designed models. When choosing a 3-wheeler, it is crucial to test how stable the buggy feels by testing it out in the person. It is also important to consider how it is easy to shift direction or swerve with the front wheel only, and how quick it can be done.

Some models come with the option of locking the front wheel, which can be used when traveling over a rough terrain too.

They can also be quite heavy to lift, so it's worth trying one in person if possible to gauge how much effort you'll need to put into lifting the buggy off the ground.
