The Benefits and Drawbacks of a 3 Wheeled Pushchair
A three-wheeled buggy is ideal for those who walk a lot on rough terrain or jog. They are great if you want a buggy that will take on any terrain, from busy streets to tracks in the woods.
Look for designs with front wheels that can be locked or swivelled. This will allow you more flexibility. The rear and front wheels that are larger provide a more comfortable ride on different surfaces.
Manoeuvrability
A 3 wheel pushchair is a great option for those looking to move effortlessly. The wheels are placed close together allowing the chassis to turn and twist much more easily than a standard four wheel pushchair. This makes them ideal for busy streets and shops. Some even have a small pair of front wheels that can be locked and swivelled to provide additional maneuverability when required. The Roma Atlas, for example, has two wheels positioned close together in front, and an ingenious lock that can swivel to give the flexibility of a 3-wheeler, but with added stability.
A lot of our top-selling 3 wheelers are also 4-in-1 travel systems which can change from stroller to toddler seat and car seat carrier as your child grows.

Stability
You can increase the stability of your buggy by looking for specific features. Some designs have a swiveling front wheel that is locked to provide additional stability when driving when riding on rough terrain. This is particularly useful if you plan to use your pushchair to jog or off-road. It can give you the confidence to handle different surfaces.
Another good stability feature is suspension. This makes your buggy more comfortable to ride in for both you and baby, especially on uneven ground. Some brands allow you to change the tyres on their pushchairs to tailor it to the terrain you'll be using it on.

Weight

The bigger rear wheels on a 3-wheeler contribute to a heavier overall weight than 4-wheelers which means you'll need more strength to lift them, especially when folding.
