5 Three Wheeler Pushchairs Lessons From The Pros

Three Wheeler Pushchairs

Three wheeler pushchairs are the ideal option for active parents who love to run, or those looking for strollers that can withstand various terrains. They're easy to maneuver and fold easily for transport or storage.

With a front wheel that can swivel, they're easy to turn in tight spaces and make grocery corners a breeze. Find models with air-filled tyres to overcome bumpy tracks and pavements.

Strollers

There's a vast selection of strollers available that are designed to meet different needs. Some strollers are designed to accommodate multiple babies (twins, or children with a tiny age difference) and others are designed for singletons. The rest are designed to fit children aged from birth to four. Some of these products have safety guidelines which must be adhered to. For instance, any child seat or carrying cot must be secured with a secure strap and should not extend further than 20cm away from the frame's edge.

Three wheel pushchairs tend to have a single front wheel making them more manoeuvrable than other models. This makes them ideal for narrow streets or aisles of stores where space is scarce. Think about an all-terrain stroller when you intend to use it in different settings. They're designed with tyres made of tough rubber that can handle rough terrain and bumps more quickly than standard strollers. Some strollers come with suspensions that ensure a more comfortable ride.

Some all-terrain buggies are also designed to be used as jogging buggies. This is ideal for parents who want to stay active and enjoy a brisk stroll or jog with their child in tow. These pushchairs typically have a larger frame and tyres than a regular stroller, and they can come with features like the handbrake or a movable handlebar.

If you're planning to jog with your stroller, you should consider having a test drive in order to see how you find the ride and how it's easy to manage. You'll also need to decide which type of tyres you prefer and whether they're foam-filled or air-filled. Air-filled tyres tend to be more durable but they're also more susceptible to punctures. You'll need a repair kit to keep in your bag.

Take a look at the brand new 3 wheel Twin stroller-wheeled pushchairs by iCandy to find a stylish, multi-purpose option. They come with amazing all-terrain features, including suspension that is large enough to withstand puncture-proof tyres as well as an adjustable handlebar that can be adjusted to fit both dads and mums. They also conform to the EU's REACH regulations, meaning they are low in lead and phthalates.

Joggers

If you're a jogger (or buggy runner) or want to be, you will need a twin 3 wheel stroller-wheeler pushchair specifically designed for running. These pushchairs come with larger wheels and a suspension system that can deal with bumps and uneven sidewalks. They're also usually heavier and bulkier, which makes them less suitable for daily use unless you plan to take a stroll or go for an occasional run.

The Mountain Buggy Terrain jogger is one of the most sought-after 3-wheelers on the market. It is a combination of precise steering and maximum control for getting active, with refined styling and world-class maneuverability in the city. It's the ideal solution for parents who run but need to keep their children in a safe and secure environment during long walks or errands.

Other joggers that are suitable can be used for strolling around the city, for example 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 they are prone to punctures so you'll need to carry a spare. Some models also have adjustable or heavy-duty suspension to make the ride more comfortable on rough terrain.

You may be able, depending on your child's age and development, to move easily from a carrycot to a jogging sleigh. However, it's best to talk to your pediatrician first, especially when they suggest waiting until your child is at minimum 6 months old.

Another option is to purchase the jogger and then put on a compatible car seat adapter. The phil&teds Sport buggy, for example, can be converted into a 2-in-1 system with an infant seat to take your child on walks or runs from the first day.

The Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 lightweight 3 wheel stroller-wheeler is a fashionable and practical 3 wheel baby stroller-wheeler that can be used for strolling or jog lightly. It's perfect for parents who are looking to be active and fashionable. The City infant car seat can be used from birth with an adapter available. It has three recline positions and air-filled tires, which means your child can enjoy an enjoyable journey. It folds up quickly.

All-terrain

If you love to wander off the beaten track, live in a rural location or want to go jogging with your baby, an all-terrain pushchair may be the right choice for you. The best all-terrain prams will feature large, sturdy wheels that can withstand bumpy terrain and a great suspension to make your journey comfortable for your little one.

They're usually bigger than standard pushchairs and are often difficult to fit in the boot of your car. They are also more expensive than other pushchairs. Be aware of this when shopping around.

Find a model that has a handlebar that can be adjusted in height, which will help in the event that you and your partner are different heights. Also, consider whether you'd like a wrist strap, which minimises the chance of it rolling across the ground on sloping surfaces or going over hills. Some models have a fixed wheel at the front, which is more stable when you are jogging. Some models have a swivel front wheel that can be locked in place to help you manoeuvre on uneven surfaces.

The type of tyre is also important. Many all-terrain pushchairs use air-filled tyres, which create a smooth ride but can puncture easily. Some pushchairs come with gel or foam-filled tire that is less likely to puncture. However, it does add weight to the pushchair.

A high-quality pushchair for all-terrain use will come with a large, well-stocked basket which will be handy for carrying your baby's shopping. Some will have a convenient, compact fold that is one-hand to make it easier to put it away when not in use. They will often have raincovers and footmuffs included too.

One of our top all-terrain pushchairs is the Mamas & Papas Ocarro, which was awarded the Mother and Baby Gold Award for 2017. The dual suspension is able to handle rough terrain and will allow you to take your child for walks on all-terrain surfaces and even run with it (once your child is old enough). It is suitable for babies from birth. It has a fully reclining seat and can be used in conjunction with a baby car or carrycot.

Folding

Some of the most common pushchairs fold. They are smaller in your home and are also easier to put in the boot of your car which is ideal if you're short on storage or have a tiny car boot, or plan on traveling a lot as with your family.

There are a variety of folds, so pick one that best suits your lifestyle and preferences. Some of the latest buggys come with an auto-fold feature, which can be folded in a matter of a push of a single button. This lets you hold your baby as well as other children or bags with both hands. It is also ideal for parents with back problems or who are recovering from C-sections.

Some models fold more conventionally, with the seat on. This means they're more bulky and may not fit as well in your boot or vehicle. Some of these will also require more than one hand to fold, which could be a problem if you are being held by your child.

It is crucial to make sure that the pushchair will be suitable for the terrain on which you intend to use it. If you plan to navigate lots of cobblestones or gravel tracks, then air-filled tyres will give you an easier ride.

If you intend to use your pushchair mostly on paved roads or pavements and roads, then the majority of three-wheelers have tires that are molded to allow your child to enjoy a smooth ride. However, if you'll be traveling with your baby off-road or on dirt opt for a model equipped with removable guards for mud and a quick-release front wheel to keep your pushchair looking its best.
