Three Wheeler Pushchairs
Whether you're an active parent who loves to run or searching for a stroller that is able to take on a variety of terrains, three wheeler pushchairs are an excellent choice. They're easy to manoeuvre and fold easily to be stored or transported.
They are easily maneuverable in tight spaces and corner stores are a breeze thanks to their swivel wheel on the front. Look for models with air-filled tyres that can overcome bumpy tracks and pavements.
Strollers
There's a huge range of strollers on the market that are made to meet the different needs. Some are designed for multiple infants (twins or a small age gap), others are suitable for singletons and others are made to fit children up to the age of four years. Certain of these products come with safety guidelines which must be followed. For instance the child's seat or carrying cot must be secured properly and cannot be further than 20cm away from the frame's edge.
Three-wheel pushchairs are more maneuverable because they have only one front wheel. This makes them perfect for narrow aisles or streets in stores where space is at a premium. Consider an all-terrain stroller if you plan to use it in different settings. Built with tough tyres that can withstand bumps and rough terrain more quickly than a regular stroller. Some models have suspensions to make the ride more comfortable for your toddler or baby.
Certain all-terrain buggies are designed to be used as jogging buggies. This is great for parents who wish to stay active and enjoy a vigorous walk or jog with their child. These pushchairs have a larger frame, tyres and wheels than strollers. They could also come with an adjustable handlebar and a handbrake.
If you're planning to jog with your stroller, it's worth getting a test drive to see how you feel about the ride and how it's easy to control. You'll need to decide whether you prefer foam-filled or air-filled tyres. Air-filled tyres are more durable, but they are also more prone to punctures. You'll require a repair kit to keep with you.
Take a look at the brand new 3-wheeled pushchairs from iCandy for a stylish and flexible option. These all-terrain pushchairs are equipped with excellent features, including suspension systems and large puncture-proof tires. They also have an adjustable handlebar for parents and mums. They also meet REACH regulations of the EU, which means they are not high in lead and phthalates.
Joggers
If you're a running enthusiast (or buggy runner) or want to be, you will need a 3-wheeler pushchair specifically designed for running. These pushchairs have larger wheels than standard strollers, and a special suspension to handle bumps and uneven sidewalks. They are also generally heavier and bulkier, making them unsuitable for everyday use unless you plan to go on an occasional run.
The Mountain Buggy Terrain jogger is one of the most popular 3-wheelers on the market. It is a combination of precise steering and the best control to get active, along with refined design and top-quality maneuverability in urban environments. It's a dream for the parent who is a avid runner, but also wants to keep their baby close to them and comfortable for long walks or errands.
Other joggers that are suitable can be used to walk through the city, such as the UPPAbaby Ridge Stroller Jake or the Baby Jogger Jet City Elite 2. These are tyres with air-filled tires which provide a smooth ride but are prone to punctures, so you'll need to have an extra. Some models also have a suspension that is adjustable or heavy-duty to make the ride smoother over rough ground.
It is possible, dependent on your child's age and development, to move easily from a carrycot to a jogging carriage. However, it's always best to talk to your pediatric physician first, especially when they suggest waiting until your child is at least 6 months old.
Another option is to buy an jogger, and then put on a compatible car seat adapter. The phil&teds Sport buggy, for instance is able to be converted into a 2-in-1 system with an infant seat, allowing you to take your child on walks or runs from the first day.

The City infant car seat is able to be used from birth with an adapter available. It comes with tyres that are air-filled and three recline positions so your child will be able to enjoy an enjoyable ride. it folds up in a snap.
All-terrain
If you love to wander off the beaten track, live in a rural location or would like to run with your child, an all-terrain pushchair may be a good choice for you. The most effective all-terrain prams have big, rugged wheels that can cope with bumpy ground and great suspension to make the journey more comfortable for your little one.
They're generally larger than standard pushchairs and could be a hassle to store in your car boot. These pushchairs are also more expensive than other pushchairs. Be aware of this when shopping around.
Choose a model that features a handlebar that can be adjusted in height which can help if you and your partner are different heights. Consider whether you need an adjustable wrist strap to keep it from slipping off when you go down slopes or hills. Some models are designed with an incline front wheel fixed, which is more manageable if you are planning to use it for jogging. Others come with a swivel rear wheel that can be locked in position to assist you in maneuvering on uneven surfaces.
The type of tyre is also important. Many all-terrain strollers are equipped with air-filled tires, which provide an easy ride, but can puncture. Some come with a gel-filled or foam-filled tyre, which are less prone to puncture, but they will increase the weight of the pushchair.
A high-quality pushchair for all-terrain use will come with a large, well-stocked basket which is ideal to carry your baby's shopping. Some models will come with a convenient, compact fold that is one-hand to make it easier to put it away when not being used. They will often have raincovers and footmuffs included as well.

Folding
A few of the most popular pushchairs fold. They take up less space in your home and are more convenient to store into the car's boot which is ideal when you're in a tight space or have a tiny car boot or are planning on traveling a lot as a family.
There are many different fold types, so look for one that suits your lifestyle and needs. Many of the newest buggy models come with an auto-fold feature, which collapses by itself with just a push of a single button. This allows you to carry a baby bags, or other children and is ideal for parents suffering from back pain or recovering from C-sections.
Some models fold more conventionally, with the seat on. This means they are more bulky and may not fit as tightly in your car or boot. Some models require two or more hands to fold, which could be a problem if you need to fold it while holding onto your child.
If you're looking for an easy umbrella fold or a more intricate mechanism, you should ensure that the stroller you select will be able to cope with the terrain you'll be riding it on. If you're planning on navigating many cobblestones and gravel tracks, then tyres with air will provide an easier ride.
If 3 wheeled pushchair plan to use your pushchair mostly on paved roads or pavements and roads, then the majority of three-wheelers have moulded tires that will give your baby an easy ride. If you plan to take your child off-road or on rough terrain, choose a model with removable mudguards and/or an front wheel that has quick-release. This will help your pushchair appear its best.
