Three wheeler pushchairs are a great choice for parents who love to run, or those looking for strollers that can withstand diverse 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 supermarket corners effortless. Select models equipped with air-filled tires to withstand rough roads and uneven pavements.
Strollers
There are many strollers on the market each designed to satisfy certain requirements. Some strollers are made to accommodate multiple babies (twins or children with a tiny age difference) and others are specifically designed for singletons. The rest are designed to fit children aged from birth to four. Many of them have safety guidelines that must be followed for example, a child seat or carrycot needs to be secured and must not be more than 20cm from the edge of the frame.
Three-wheel pushchairs are more maneuverable since they have just one front wheel. This makes them ideal for navigating narrow streets or aisles in stores where space is limited. Think about an all-terrain stroller when you intend to utilize it in a variety of environments. Designed with tough tyres, they can tackle bumps and rough terrain more quickly than a standard stroller. Some strollers have suspensions to help make the ride more comfortable.
Some all-terrain strollers are built to be jogging buggies well. This is an excellent option for parents who want to be active and take their child along on a brisk stroll or jog. These pushchairs typically come with a bigger frame and tyres that are more substantial than a normal stroller, plus they may have features like a handbrake or adjustable handlebar.
It’s worth taking your stroller for an initial test ride to see how it handles and how easily it can be controlled. It’s also important to determine which type of tyres you prefer, whether they’re filled with air or foam. Air-filled tyres are more durable but they’re also more prone to punctures. You’ll need a repair kit to carry around with you.
Take a look at the brand new 3 wheeler stroller-wheeled pushchairs from iCandy to find a stylish, flexible option. These all-terrain pushchairs have some great features, including suspension and puncture-proof tires. They also come with an adjustable handlebar that can be used by parents and mothers. They also meet REACH regulations of the EU. This means that they are low in lead and phthalates.
Joggers
If you’re a Jogger (or buggy runner) or are planning to become a jogger, you’ll require a 3-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 are also heavier and more bulkier than traditional strollers, making them unsuitable for daily use unless you intend to go on an occasional run.
The Mountain Buggy Terrain jogger is one of the most sought-after 3 wheel buggies-wheelers on the market. It offers precise steering and the best control to get active, with refined styling and world class manoeuvrability in the city. It’s a dream come true for parents who are avid runner, but also is looking to keep their child close and comfortable during long walks or errands.
Other joggers that are suitable can be used to stroll around the city, like the UPPAbaby Ridge Stroller Jake or the Baby Jogger Jet City Elite 2. These have air-filled tyres which provide a smooth ride, but are susceptible to punctures and you’ll need to have a spare. Some have a suspension that is adjustable or heavy-duty to make the ride smoother on rough terrain.
It is possible, depending on your child’s age to seamlessly transition 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 minimum 6 months old.
You can also purchase an jogger and connect a car seat adapter compatible with it. For example, the phil&teds Sport buggy can be transformed into a 2-in-1 travel set with an infant car seat, so you can take baby on runs or walks from day 1.
The Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 3-wheeler is a stylish and practical 3-wheeler which can be used for strolling or jog lightly. It’s a great option for parents who are active and on-trend and can fit a car seat starting at birth (with the optional City infant car seat adapter). It has 3 wheel tandem stroller recline positions, as well as air-filled tires so that your child will be able to enjoy an enjoyable ride. It also folds up quickly.
All-terrain
If you like to walk off the beaten path, reside in a rural area or you want to run with your baby, an all-terrain pushchair may be the right choice for you. The best all-terrain prams will come with large, robust wheels that can withstand bumpy ground and have a good suspension to make your journey comfortable for your little one.
They are generally larger than standard pushchairs, and may be difficult to fit in the boot of your car. They are also pricier than other pushchairs, so keep this in mind when looking around.
Choose a model that features a height-adjustable handlebar, which will help in the event that you and your partner are different heights. Also, consider whether you want a wrist strap, which minimises the chance of it rolling across the ground on sloping surfaces or crossing hills. Some models have a fixed wheel on the front, making it more stable when you’re jogging. Some models have a swivel front wheel that can be locked in position to assist you in maneuvering on uneven surfaces.
The type of tyre used is also important. Many all-terrain pushchairs use air-filled tyres, which create a smooth ride but can puncture easily. Some models have an inflated tyre that is filled with gel or foam which are less likely to puncture but will increase the weight of the pushchair.
A good all-terrain stroller will come with a large basket that is useful for carrying your baby’s groceries. Some models have a compact, one-handed fold that allows for easy storage when not in use. They usually come with raincovers and footmuffs included as well.
One of our top all-terrain pushchairs is the Mamas & Papas Ocarro, which won the Mother and Baby Gold Award for 2017. The dual suspension is able to handle rough terrain and allows you to take your baby on walks across all terrains and even go jogging with it (once your child is old enough). It is suitable from birth, includes a fully reclined seat and can be used as a travel system with an infant car seat or carrycot.
Folding
A lot of the most sought-after pushchairs fold. They are easy to store at home, and they can easily be inserted into the trunk of your car. This is a great option if your car boot is small or if you are planning to travel a lot with your family.
There are several different fold types, so look for one that is suited to your lifestyle and needs. For instance some of the most recent buggy models feature a revolutionary auto-fold that collapses on its own with a simple pressing. This lets you hold your child, other children or bags using both hands. It’s also ideal for parents who suffer from back issues or are recovering from C-sections.
Some models fold more conventionally, with the seat in place. This means that they are a bit bulkier and might not fit as tightly in your vehicle’s boot. Some models require more than one hand to fold, which can be a problem if you are being a parent.
Whether you prefer a simple umbrella fold or a more intricate mechanism, it’s worth checking that the stroller you select will be able to deal with the terrain you’ll be riding on. For example, if you’ll be navigating a lot of cobblestones or gravel tracks, then ensure that the wheels are made of air-filled tyres that will provide an easier ride for your baby.
If you intend to use your pushchair primarily on paved roads or pavements, then most three-wheelers will come with tires that are moulded to give your baby an easy ride. If you’re taking your child off-road or over rough terrain choose an option that comes with a set of movable or quick-release front wheel to keep your pushchair looking its best.
