Three Wheeler Pushchairs
If you're a parent who enjoys jogging or are looking for a stroller that is able to be able to handle a variety terrains, three-wheeler pushchairs are a good choice. They're easy to maneuver and fold easily for transport or storage.
They are easy to maneuver in tight spaces and corner supermarkets are a breeze thanks to their swivel front wheel. Look for models with air-filled tyres to tackle bumpy pavements and tracks.
Strollers
There's a wide selection of strollers available, all designed to meet the needs of different people. Some strollers are made to accommodate multiple infants (twins or children with a small age difference) while others are for singletons. The rest are designed to fit babies from birth until age four. Certain products have safety guidelines that must be adhered to. For example, any child seat or cot that is carried must be secured properly and should not extend at least 20cm from the frame's edge.
Three wheel pushchairs typically have a single front wheel making them more manoeuvrable than other models. This makes them perfect for narrow streets or aisles in stores where space is at a premium. If you plan to use your stroller in many different environments, consider an all-terrain pushchair. They're designed with tough tyres that can take on bumps and rough terrain more quickly than regular strollers. Some strollers have suspensions to help make the ride more comfortable.
Some all-terrain strollers are built to function as jogging buggies well. This is an excellent option for parents who wish to be active and take their children for a walk or run. These pushchairs come with a bigger frame, tyres, and wheels than the stroller. They could also come with an adjustable handlebar and a handbrake.
If you're planning to jog with your stroller, it's worth having a test drive in order to see how you find the ride and how easy it is to control. You'll need to decide if you prefer air-filled or foam-filled tyres. Air-filled tyres tend to be more durable, but they are also prone to punctures, so you'll need a repair kit with you.
For a stylish and versatile option, take a look at the new 3-wheel pushchairs available from iCandy. They come with amazing all-terrain features, including a suspension system, large puncture-proof tyres and an adjustable handlebar that is suitable for both dads and moms. They also comply with the EU REACH regulations and low in phthalates, lead and other chemicals.
Joggers
If you're a running enthusiast (or buggy runner) or would like to become a buggy runner, you'll need a pushchair with three Wheeler pushchair wheels that is specifically designed for running. These pushchairs feature larger wheels and a suspension system that can take on bumps and uneven sidewalks. These are also heavier and bulkier than traditional strollers, which makes them unsuitable for everyday use unless you plan to go on an occasional run.
The Mountain Buggy Terrain jogger is one of the most sought-after 3-wheelers on the market. It offers precise steering and the highest level of control to keep you active, along with refined design and top-quality maneuverability in urban environments. It's the ideal choice for parents who are runners but need to keep their children at a comfortable distance on long walks or for running errands.
Other good joggers can be used for strolling through the city, like the UPPAbaby Ridge Stroller Jake or the Baby Jogger Jet City Elite 2. These are tyres with air-filled tires, which give a very smooth ride, but are susceptible to punctures and you'll need to have a spare. Some models have adjustable or heavy-duty suspension to give you a smoother ride on rough terrain.
Depending on the age of your child, you may be able to transition from a carrycot or infant car seat into one of these jogging strollers without much trouble. However, it's best to check with your pediatrician first, especially when they suggest waiting until your child is at least 6 months old.
Another option is to purchase an jogger, and then put on a compatible car seat adapter. For instance, the phil&teds Sport buggy can be converted into a 2-in-1 travel system with an infant car seat so you can take baby on walks or runs as early as day one.
The Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 is a stylish yet practical 3-wheeler that is ideal for leisurely strolls and light jogging. It's perfect for parents who are looking to be active and fashionable. The City infant car seat can be used as early as birth with the adapter that is available. It has 3 recline positions, as well as air-filled tires, so your child can have an enjoyable ride. It also folds up quickly.
All-terrain
All-terrain prams are an excellent option if you like taking a walk off the beaten track or are in rural areas, or want to jog with your baby. The top all-terrain strollers have large, rugged wheels that can withstand bumpy terrain and excellent suspension to ensure your child's ride is comfortable.
These are usually larger than standard pushchairs and may be difficult to fit into the boot of your car. They are also more expensive than other pushchairs so keep this in mind when you are shopping.
It is recommended to choose models that have a height-adjustable bar. This is helpful if you and/or your partner have different heights. Also, consider whether you want a wrist strap, which reduces the risk of it rolling across the ground on sloping surfaces or crossing hills. Some models are designed with a fixed front wheel, which will be more manageable if you want to use it for running. Some models have an swivel wheel that can be locked to allow you to maneuver on uneven surfaces.
The type of tyre used is crucial. A majority of all-terrain pushchairs are equipped with air-filled tyres, which create smooth rides but could puncture easily. Some have a foam or gel-filled tyre, which are less prone to puncture, but they will add extra weight to the pushchair.
A quality all-terrain stroller will come with a large basket that can be used to carry baby's grocery items. Some will have a handy compact fold that is one-hand to help you put it away when not being used. Most often, they include a raincover and footmuff.
The Mamas & Papas Ocarro is one of our favourite all-terrain pushchairs. It was awarded a Mother and Baby Gold Award in 2017. Dual suspension allows you to take the baby on a stroll across the entire terrain and even run with it when your child reaches the age of. It is suitable for babies from birth. It comes with a fully-reclining seat, and can be used in conjunction with a baby car or carrycot.
Folding
Some of the most popular pushchairs are folding models. They are smaller in your home and are more convenient to store into the car's boot and are ideal when you're in a tight space or have a small car boot or are planning on traveling a lot as families.
There are several different fold types, so look for one that is suited to your lifestyle and preferences. Many of the newest buggy models come with an auto-fold feature, which folds itself at one button. This allows you to juggle a baby, bags or other children, and is ideal for parents who have back issues or recovering from C-sections.
Some models fold more conventionally, with the seat on. This means they are a bit bulkier and might not fit as tightly in your vehicle's boot. Certain models require two hands or more to fold. This could be an issue for parents who need to hold their child while folding.
If you're looking for an easy umbrella fold or a more intricate mechanism, it's important to ensure that the stroller you select can cope with the terrain you'll be using it on. If you plan to navigate many cobblestones and gravel tracks, then tyres with air will give you a more comfortable ride.
If you'll be using your pushchair mostly on pavements and paved roads then most three-wheelers have moulded wheels that give your Midnight Black Baby Jogger Summit X3 Stroller an easy ride. But, if you'll be traveling with your baby off-road or on dirt opt for one that comes with a set of movable guards for mud and a quick-release front wheel to help keep your pushing kit looking its best.
