three wheeled buggies Wheeler Pushchairs
If you’re a parent who loves to jog or are looking for a stroller that is able to handle a variety of terrains, three-wheeler pushchairs are an excellent choice. They’re easy to manoeuvre and fold neatly to be stored or transported.
They are simple to maneuver in tight spaces and corner supermarkets are a breeze thanks to their swivel front wheel. Make sure you choose models that have air-filled tyres to take on tracks and bumpy pavements.
Strollers
There’s a huge range of strollers available that are made to meet the different needs. Some strollers are made to accommodate multiple babies (twins, or children with a slight age difference) and others are designed for singletons. The rest are designed to fit babies from birth until age four. Many of these have safety guidelines that must be adhered to For instance, any child seat or carrycot needs to be secured with a secure strap and shouldn’t be more than 20cm away from the edge of the frame.
Three wheel pushchairs usually have a single front wheel making them more maneuverable than other models. This makes them perfect for narrow aisles and streets in stores where space is at a premium. If you’re planning to use your stroller in a variety of different environments, think about an all-terrain pushchair. They’re built with tough tyres that can take on bumps and rough terrain more easily than normal strollers. Some models have suspensions to help ensure a more comfortable ride for your toddler or baby.
Some all-terrain strollers are made to be jogging buggies well. This is a great option for parents who want to remain active and enjoy a brisk stroll or run with their child. These pushchairs usually come with a bigger frame and tyres that are more substantial than a normal stroller, and they can include features such as the handbrake or a movable handlebar.
If you’re planning to run with your stroller, you should consider getting a test drive to see how you find the experience and how it’s easy to manage. It’s also important to determine which type of tyres prefer and whether they’re foam-filled or air-filled. Air-filled tyres tend to be more durable, but they are also prone to punctures, so you’ll need to have a repair kit with you.
Look at the new 3 wheel parent facing pushchair-wheeled pushchairs by iCandy for a stylish, multi-purpose option. They come with amazing all-terrain features such as a suspension system, large puncture-proof tyres and an adjustable handlebar that can be adjusted to fit both dads and mums. They also comply with the REACH regulations of the EU, which means they are free of lead and phthalates.
Joggers
If you are a buggy jogger or a buggy runner then you’ll require a three-wheeler stroller that is designed specifically for jogging. These pushchairs come with larger wheels and a suspension system to deal with bumps and uneven sidewalks. These are also heavier and more bulkier than standard strollers, making them unsuitable for everyday use unless you plan to take a short run.
The Mountain Buggy Terrain jogger is one of the most sought-after twin 3 wheel stroller-wheelers on the market. It offers precise steering and maximum control for getting active, with refined styling and world-class maneuverability in urban areas. It’s the perfect solution for parents who run but need to keep their children at a comfortable distance on long walks, or for running 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 have air-filled tyres which provide a smooth ride, but are susceptible to punctures and you’ll need to have an extra. Some also have adjustable or heavy-duty suspension to make the ride more comfortable on rough terrain.
It is possible, depending on the age of your child and development, to move easily from the carrycot to a jogging carriage. It is best to consult with your pediatrician prior to purchasing a jogging stroller especially if your doctor recommends waiting until your child is 6 months older.
Another option is to buy the jogger and then put on a compatible car seat adapter. For example, the phil&teds Sport buggy can be turned into a 2-in-1 travel set with an infant car seat which means you can take your baby on walks or runs as early as day 1.
The Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 3-wheeler is a stylish and practical 3 wheel tandem stroller-wheeler which can be used for strolling or light jog. It’s a great choice for parents who want to be active and fashionable. The City infant car seat is able to be used as early as birth with an adapter available. It has three recline positions and air-filled tires so that your child can enjoy an enjoyable ride. It also folds quickly.
All-terrain
If you enjoy walking off the beaten path or live in a rural location or want to go jogging with your baby an all-terrain stroller could be the right choice for you. The best all-terrain prams will come with large, robust wheels that can cope with bumpy terrain and a great suspension to ensure a comfortable ride for your baby.
They are generally larger than standard pushchairs and are often difficult to fit into the boot of your car. These pushchairs are also more expensive than other pushchairs. Keep this in mind when shopping for a new one.
Choose a model that features adjustable height handlebars that can be used when you and your companion are of different heights. Also, consider whether you’d prefer a wrist strap, which reduces the risk of it rolling across the ground on sloping surfaces or slipping over hills. Some models are designed with a fixed front wheel which is easier to control if you want to use it for jogging. Certain models come with an swivel wheels that can be locked into place to make it easier to move over uneven surfaces.
The type of tyre is also important. A lot of all-terrain pushchairs have air-filled tyres, which create a smooth ride but can puncture easily. Some pushchairs feature the gel- or foam-filled tire that is less likely to puncture. However, it will increase the weight of the pushchair.
A good all-terrain stroller will have a large basket that is useful to carry your baby’s food. Some come with a compact single-handed fold that allows for easy storage when not in use. Often, they include a footmuff and raincover.
One of our top all-terrain pushchairs is the Mamas & Papas Ocarro, which was awarded the Mother and Baby Gold Award for 2017.

It comes with a fully-reclining seat that can be used in conjunction with a baby car or carrycot.
Folding
Some of the most common pushchairs fold. They are simple to store in your home, and they can be easily fitted in the trunk of your car. This is ideal for cars with boot spaces that are small, or if you are planning to travel a lot with your family.
There are many different types of folds, so choose one that fits your lifestyle and preferences. The latest models of buggy come with an auto-fold feature, which collapses by itself with just a push of a single button. This lets you hold your baby or other children, or even bags using both hands. It’s also ideal for parents with back issues or are recovering from C-sections.
Some models fold more traditionally, with the seat on. This means that they are more bulky and may not fit as well in your boot or vehicle. Some models will require two hands or more to fold. This could pose an issue for parents who need to hold their child while folding.
Whether you prefer a simple umbrella fold or a more complicated mechanism, you should ensure that the model you pick can cope with the terrain you’ll be riding on. If you plan to navigate a lot of cobblestones and 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 come with tires that are moulded to allow your child to enjoy a smooth ride. If you plan to take your child off-road or on rough terrain, you should choose one with removable mudguards and/or an front wheel that has quick-release. This will help your pushchair look its best.
