Three Wheeler Pushchairs
Whether you're an active parent who enjoys jogging or looking for a stroller which can handle a variety of terrains, three-wheeler pushchairs are an excellent choice. They're easy to manoeuvre and fold easily for storage or transport.
They are easy to maneuver in tight spaces, and supermarket corners are a breeze thanks to their swivel wheel on the front. 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 different needs. Some are made for multiple infants (twins or a small age gap), others are suitable for singletons, and the rest are designed for children up to the age of four years. Many of them have safety guidelines to be adhered to, for example - any child seat or carrycot needs to be fastened securely and can't be more than 20cm away from the edge of the frame.
Three-wheel pushchairs are easier to maneuver because they have only one front wheel. This makes them perfect for narrow aisles or streets in shops where space is limited. If you're planning to use your stroller in a variety of different environments, you should consider an all-terrain pushchair. They are designed with tough tyres that are able to take on bumps and rough terrain more easily than standard strollers. Some strollers come with suspensions to make the ride more comfortable.
A few all-terrain buggies can also be designed to be used as jogging buggies. This is great for parents who want to remain active and take a quick walk or jog with their child. These pushchairs have a larger frame, tyres, and wheels than the stroller. They can also have an adjustable handlebar and handbrake.
If you're planning to jog with your stroller, consider taking a test drive to see how you find the ride and how it's easy to control. You'll also need to decide what kind of tyres you prefer, whether they're foam-filled or air-filled. Air-filled tyres are generally more durable, but they're also susceptible to punctures, so you'll need a repair kit with you.

Joggers
If you're a buggy jogger or buggy runner and need a 3-wheeler stroller that is designed specifically for jogging. These have larger wheels than standard strollers and a suspension designed specifically to handle bumps and uneven sidewalks. They are also heavier and bulkier than traditional strollers, which makes them unsuitable for use in everyday situations unless you plan to go for a regular run.

Depending on the age of your child, you may be able to make the transition from a carrycot or infant car seat into one of these jogging strollers without much trouble. But, it's always best to check with your pediatrician first, particularly when they suggest waiting until your child is at least 6 months old.
You can also purchase an jogger and add an adapter for carseats that is compatible with it. The phil&teds Sport buggy, for example can be transformed into a 2-in-1 system with an infant seat, allowing you to take your baby on runs or walks from the first day.

All-terrain
All-terrain prams are an excellent option if you love walking off the beaten track or live in rural areas, or want to jog with your baby. The most effective all-terrain prams feature large, sturdy wheels that can cope with bumpy ground and great suspension to make your journey comfortable for your baby.
They're typically bigger than standard pushchairs and could be a hassle to fit into your car boot. They are also pricier than other pushchairs, so do bear this in mind when looking around.
You should look for a model that has adjustable height bars. This is helpful for those who have different heights. You should consider whether you need a wrist strap to prevent it from rolling off on slopes or hills. Some models are designed with a fixed front wheel which makes it easier to control if you are planning to use it for jogging. Some models come with an swivel wheel that can be locked to help you move over uneven surfaces.
The type of tyre is also important. Many all-terrain pushchairs use air-filled tyres. They provide a smooth ride but can puncture easily. Some have a foam or gel-filled tyre which are less likely to puncture, but can add extra weight to the pushchair.
A good quality all-terrain pushchair will have an adequate-sized basket that is handy for carrying your baby's shopping. Some models have a compact, one-handed fold that makes it easy to store when not in use. It is common to find raincovers and footmuffs included as well.

Folding
A few of the most popular pushchairs fold. They take up less space in your home and are more convenient to store in the car's boot, making them perfect when you're in a tight space, have a small car boot, or plan to travel a lot as families.
There are several different fold styles, so you need to look for one that fits your lifestyle and requirements. For example, some of the latest buggy models have a groundbreaking auto-fold system that folds by itself with a simple press of a button. This allows you to handle a baby, bags or other children, and is perfect for parents suffering from back pain or recovering from C-sections.
Other models are designed to fold more traditional, with the seat still on, so they'll weigh a bit more and might not fit as well in your car boot. Some models will require two hands or more to fold. This could be an issue for parents who need to hold their child while folding.
It is essential to ensure whether the pushchair is suitable for the terrain on which you intend to use it. If you're planning to travel lots of cobblestones or gravel tracks, then tyres that are filled with air will offer a more comfortable ride.
If you plan to use your pushchair primarily on paved roads or pavements and roads, then the majority of three-wheelers have moulded tires that will provide your child with a comfortable ride. However, if you'll be traveling with your baby off-road or on dirt opt for a model 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.
