Three Wheeler Pushchairs
Three wheeled pushchairs are an ideal choice for active parents who love to jog or are looking for strollers that can withstand various terrains. They're simple to maneuver and fold neatly to be stored or transported.
They are easy to maneuver in tight spaces and corner supermarkets become a breeze with their swivel front wheel. Pick models with air-filled tires that can handle rough roads and uneven pavements.
Strollers
There's a huge range of strollers available, all designed to meet the needs of different people. Some are made for multiple babies (twins or with a tiny age gap), others are suitable for singletons, and the rest are made to fit children as young as of four years. Certain of these products come with safety guidelines which must be adhered to. For example any child's seat or carrying cot must be secured with a secure strap and cannot be at least 20cm from the frame's edge.
Three wheel pushchairs usually have a single front wheel making them more manoeuvrable than other models. This makes them ideal for navigating narrow streets or aisles of stores where space is limited. If you're planning to use your stroller in many different environments, you should consider an all-terrain pushchair. They are designed with tough tyres that are able to handle rough terrain and bumps more quickly than standard strollers. 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 a great option for parents who wish to stay active and enjoy a vigorous stroll or jog with their child. These pushchairs come with a bigger frame, tyres, and wheels than strollers. They can also come with an adjustable handlebar and handbrake.
It's worth taking your stroller out for an initial test ride to see how it handles and how well it handles. You'll need to decide if you prefer air-filled or foam-filled tyres. Air-filled tyres tend to be more durable, but they are also prone to punctures so you'll need to have a repair kit with you.

Joggers
If you're a jogger (or buggy runner) or would like to become, you will need a pushchair with three wheels that is specifically designed for jogging. These pushchairs feature larger wheels and a suspension system to deal with bumps and uneven sidewalks. They're also typically larger and heavier, making them less suitable for everyday use unless you intend to take a stroll or go for an occasional run.
The Mountain Buggy Terrain jogger is one of the most popular 3-wheelers on the market. It combines maximum control and precise control to get active with stylish styling and great maneuverability in urban areas. It's a dream come true for parents who are dedicated runner but also wants to keep their baby close to them and comfortable for long walks or errands.
Other good joggers can be used for strolling through the city, like the UPPAbaby Ridge Stroller Jake or the Baby Jogger Jet City Elite 2. These have air-filled tires, that provide a smooth and comfortable ride, but are susceptible to punctures. You'll need a spare. Some have heavy-duty or adjustable suspensions to ensure a smoother ride on rough terrain.
Depending on the age of your child, you may be able to make the transition from a carrycot or infant car seat to one of these jogging strollers without a lot of difficulty. It is best to consult with your pediatrician before purchasing a jogging stroller particularly if your doctor suggests waiting until your child is 6 months of age.
Another option is to purchase an jogger, and then put to it a car seat adapter. For instance, the phil&teds Sport buggy can be converted into a 2-in-1 travel system with an infant car seat so you can take baby on walks or runs as early as day one.
The Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 is a stylish and practical 3-wheeler that is ideal for leisurely strolls and light running. It's a great choice for parents who are active and on-trend, and it can accommodate carseats for babies starting at birth (with the optional City infant car seat adapter). It has 3 recline positions, as well as air-filled tires so that your child can enjoy an enjoyable ride. It also folds up quickly.
All-terrain
All-terrain prams are an excellent option if you like walking off the beaten track, live in rural areas, or would like to run with your child. The best all-terrain pushchairs will have big, rugged wheels that can cope with bumpy terrain and a great suspension to ensure a comfortable ride for your little one.
These are usually larger than standard pushchairs and are often difficult to fit in the trunk of your car. They also tend to be more expensive than other pushchairs so keep this in mind when you are shopping.
You should look for one that has adjustable height bars. This will be helpful if you and/or your partner have different heights. You should consider whether you need an adjustable wrist strap to keep it from falling off on hills or slopes. Some models have a fixed wheel on the front, making it more manageable when you are jogging. Some models have a swivel front wheel that can be locked into place to allow you to maneuver on uneven surfaces.
The type of tyre is also important. Many all-terrain strollers use air-filled tires, which provide an easy ride, but can puncture. 3 wheeler pushchair come with gel or foam-filled tire, which is less likely to puncture. However, it can increase the weight of the pushchair.
A good pushchair for all-terrain use will come with a decent sized basket, which is ideal for carrying baby's groceries. Some will have a handy, compact, one-hand fold to make it easier to store it away when not in use. It is common to find an umbrella and a footmuff too.
One of our top all-terrain pushchairs is the Mamas & Papas Ocarro, which was awarded an award for the Mother and Baby Gold Award for 2017. The dual suspension can handle rough terrain, allowing you to take your child on walks across all terrains and even go jogging with it (once your child is old enough). It is suitable from birth, has a fully reclining seat and can be used as a travel set-up with an infant car seat or carrycot.
Folding
The majority of pushchairs fold. They take up less space in your home and are more convenient to fit in the trunk of your car, making them perfect when you're in a tight space or have a tiny car boot, or plan to travel a lot as a family.
There are many kinds of folds, so choose one that best suits your lifestyle and requirements. Some of the latest buggys come with an auto-fold feature, which can be folded in a matter of the push of a button. This allows you to hold your baby as well as other children or bags with both hands. It is also ideal for parents who suffer from back problems or are recovering from C-sections.
Some models are designed to fold more traditionally with the seat in place, which means they'll be heavier and won't be as comfortable to fit in your car or boot. Some models will require two hands or more to fold. This could pose a problem for parents who need to hold their child while folding.
It's important to check whether the pushchair is capable of handling the terrain on which you plan to use it. For instance, if you'll be navigating many cobblestones or gravel tracks, then ensure that the wheels are made of air-filled tyres that will provide an easier ride for your little one.
If you'll be using your pushchair mainly on roads that are paved and pavements the majority of three-wheelers come with moulded wheels that will give your baby a smooth ride. But, if you'll be taking your child off-road or over rough terrain opt for a model with a set of removable or quick-release front wheel to keep your pushchair looking its best.
