3 Wheel Pushchairs
Three wheel pushchairs are perfect for anyone who is a jogger or wants a more versatile stroller. Three-wheel prams, that have air-filled tires instead of the massive wheels commonly found on jogging buggies designed for roads that are paved are able to navigate through woodland trails and cobbled streets.
Large wheels, however, can make some models bulky and heavy make sure it folds down compactly and doesn't take up all your boot space.
Stability
Parents are often frightened by tales of three-wheeled pushchairs tipping over. This is usually due to cheap or poorly constructed models. When choosing a 3-wheeler, it is important to check how stable the buggy feels by attempting it in the person. Also, you should consider how it is easy to change direction or swerve using the single front wheel and how quickly it is possible to do it.
If you're planning to take your pushchair off-roading, opt for a model that has air-filled tyres (sometimes called pneumatic tyres) that are able to handle rough terrain. These tyres are more resistant to bumps and lumps on muddy pathways or gravel roads than the plastic wheels. They provide a smoother ride for your child. Some models come with an adjustable front wheel that can be used when going over really rough ground too.
All-terrain pushchairs tend to be heavier than standard buggies on four wheels and you'll need to consider how much space they'll take up in your car's boot, and if you'll be in a position to lift it up and down stairs once folded. They can also be heavy to lift and move, so you should try one out in person to gauge how much effort you'll need to put in to get the buggy off the ground.
UPPAbaby's Ridge, a three-wheeled pram with a car-seat attachment, is a great example of a stable and maneuverable pram. It has a world-facing seat that can be attached either to an UPPAbaby Carrycot or infant car seats. They can be added using adaptors. The large rear wheels feature the 'never-flat' tyres filled with foam which make it simple to navigate through rough terrain. The smooth suspension and adjustable handlebar also ensure that your child will be at ease.
Manoeuvrability
With two wheels at the back and a single wheel at the front 3 wheel pushchairs can move and turn faster than 4-wheeled pushchairs. They can be great for narrow city streets or manoeuvring through crowded supermarket aisles. Many 3-wheeled pushchairs come with a lock feature on the front wheel to further improve their ability to tackle narrow spaces and corners.
Another benefit of a three-wheel pushchair is that they can handle off-road terrain much more efficiently than standard strollers and prams. For example, iCandy's Core offers a variety of features that make it suitable for outdoor adventures with your little one. Tara who is an MFM reviewer, said that it has a rural-style wheelbase and larger wheels. They, she explained, "perform well on woodland tracks as well as grass and market town cobbles."

Folding

The seat is placed in a world-facing position and is suitable for infants up to 6 months of age. The UPPAbaby Ridge also has a hand-operated brake on the right-hand side which MFM reviewers found to be handy particularly when pushing across uneven ground. This feature isn't present on all models and it's worth checking prior to purchasing.
