3 Wheel Pushchairs
Three wheel pushchairs are perfect for those who are an avid jogger or needs a more flexible stroller. Three-wheel prams, with air-filled tires instead of the big wheels that are often used on jogging buggies made for paved roads, can be used to navigate through woodland trails and cobbled streets.
Some models can be heavy and heavy due to their massive wheels. Check that they fold down in a compact manner and don't take up the entire space of your boot.
Stability
Parents are often put off by stories about three-wheel pushchairs falling over. But this is usually due to cheap or poorly constructed models. When you are choosing a 3-wheeler, it is crucial to test how stable the buggy feels by attempting it in person. It is also important to consider how it is simple to change direction or turn with the single front wheel and how quickly it can be done.
If you are planning to use your pushchair on uneven terrain, choose an option with air-filled tires (also called pneumatic tyres). They can handle the bumps and lumps of muddy paths or gravel tracks. These tyres are able to take the bumps and sloughs of muddy paths or gravel tracks much better than plastic wheels that have been moulded that give your child an enjoyable ride. Some models come with a lockable wheel on the front that can be used on rough terrain.
All-terrain pushchairs are heavier than standard buggies with four wheels and you'll have to think about how much room they will take up in your car's boot, and if you'll be in a position to lift it up and down stairs once folded. It can be a challenge to lift them, which is why you should test them in person to gauge how heavy they are.

The large rear wheels feature 'never-flat' foam-filled tyres, which make it easy to navigate rough terrain. The smooth suspension and adjustable handlebar ensure that your baby or toddler will be comfortable.
Manoeuvrability
Three-wheeled strollers are much easier to navigate and turn than four-wheeled strollers because they have two wheels at the back and one wheel at the front. They are perfect for navigating narrow city streets and overcrowded aisles in supermarkets. Many 3-wheeled pushchairs also offer a lock feature on the front wheel to further enhance their ability to navigate tight corners and spaces.

Folding
When not in use most 3-wheel pushchairs fold neatly and compactly to fit in the car's boot space or under the stairs. They usually have large back wheels that can make them quite wide when folded. So do take this into consideration in case you intend to use it in narrow space or in aisles of shopping.
