Three Wheeler Pushchairs
Three wheeled pushchairs are the ideal option for active parents who love to run or who are in search of a stroller which can handle various terrains. They’re easy to manoeuvre and fold up neatly for transport or storage.
With just one front wheel that can rotate, they’re easy to turn in tight spaces and make grocery corners effortless. Select models with air-filled tires to handle rough roads and pavements.
Strollers
There’s a wide selection of strollers available each designed to meet different needs. Some are made for multiple babies (twins or with a tiny age gap) and others are suitable for singletons, and the rest are made to fit children up to the age of four years. Many of them have safety guidelines that must be adhered to For instance, any child seat or carrycot has to be fastened securely and can’t be more than 20cm from the edge of the frame.
Three wheel pushchair wheel pushchairs usually 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’re planning to use your stroller in many different environments, you should consider an all-terrain pushchair. Designed with tough tyres they can take on rough terrain and bumps much more easily than the regular stroller. Some strollers are equipped with suspensions that ensure a more comfortable ride.
A few all-terrain buggies can also be designed to be used as jogging buggies. This is an excellent option for parents who want to be active and take their child along for a stroll or run. These pushchairs come with a bigger frame, tyres and wheels than strollers. They may also have an adjustable handlebar and a handbrake.
It’s worth taking your stroller for a test ride to see how it handles and how well it handles. You’ll also have to decide which type of tyres you prefer, whether they’re filled with air or foam. Air-filled tyres are more durable however they are more prone to punctures. You’ll require a repair kit to carry around with you.

Joggers
If you are a buggy runner or jogger then you’ll require a three-wheeler stroller designed specifically for jogging. These pushchairs have larger wheels than traditional strollers, and a suspension designed specifically to handle bumps and uneven sidewalks. They are also generally larger and heavier, making 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 wheel travel stroller-wheelers available on the market. It combines maximum control and precision control to get active with stylish styling and great manoeuvrability within the city. It’s the ideal choice for parents who run but need to keep their children close and comfortable on long walks, or for run-of-the-mills.
Other good joggers can be used to stroll through the city, such as the UPPAbaby Ridge Stroller Jake or the Baby Jogger Jet City Elite 2. These are air-filled tires which offer a smooth ride, but they are also prone to punctures. You’ll need a spare. Some come with heavy-duty or adjustable suspensions to give you a smoother ride on rough terrain.
Based on the age of your child, you may be able to make the transition from using a carrycot or infant car seat into one of these strollers without too much difficulty. But, it’s always best to talk to your pediatrician first, particularly if they recommend waiting until your child is at minimum 6 months old.
You can also purchase the jogger, and add an adapter for car seats compatible with it. The phil&teds Sport buggy, for example, can be converted into a 2-in-1 unit with an infant seat to take your baby on walks or runs from day one.
The Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 is a stylish and practical 3 wheel baby strollers-wheeler which can be used for leisurely strolls and light jogging. It’s a great option for parents who are active and trendy and can also accommodate a car seat from birth (with the optional City infant car seat adapter). It has three recline positions and air-filled tires, so your child can enjoy a comfortable journey. It also folds up quickly.
All-terrain
If you enjoy walking off the beaten path, reside in a rural area or would like to run with your baby an all-terrain stroller could be the best option for you. The most effective all-terrain prams feature large, sturdy wheels that can cope with bumpy terrain and a great suspension to make your journey comfortable for your child.
They’re typically bigger than standard pushchairs and can be a hassle to fit into your car boot. They also tend to be more expensive than other pushchairs so do bear this in mind when you are shopping.
Choose a model that features adjustable height handlebars which can help when you and your companion are of different heights. You should also consider whether you want a wrist strap that reduces the possibility of it slipping across the ground on sloping surfaces or going over hills. Some models have a fixed wheel on the front, making it more manageable when you’re jogging. Others come with a swivel rear wheel that can be locked into place to allow you to maneuver on uneven surfaces.
The type of tyre used is also important. A lot of all-terrain pushchairs have air-filled tyres. They provide an easy ride, but they can puncture easily. Some models have a foam or gel-filled tyre, which are less prone to puncture but will add extra weight to the pushchair.
A high-quality all-terrain pushchair will have an adequate-sized basket that is handy for carrying your baby’s shopping. Some will have a convenient, compact fold that is one-hand to make it easier to store it away when not being used. Often, they include a raincover and a footmuff.
One of our favorite all-terrain pushchairs is the Mamas & Papas Ocarro, which was awarded an award for the Mother and Baby Gold Award for 2017. The dual suspension is able to handle rough terrain and allows you to take your child on walks across all terrains and even go jogging with it (once your child is old enough). It is suitable for babies from birth. It comes with a fully-reclining seat, and can be used with an infant car or carrycot.
Folding
A few of the most popular pushchairs fold. They are simple to store in your home, and they can easily fit in the trunk of your car. This is a great option when your car’s boot is small, or if you plan on travelling a lot with your family.
There are many different types of folds, so pick one that fits your lifestyle and needs. The latest models of buggy have an auto-fold feature that folds itself at one button. This allows you to carry a baby bags, or other children and is ideal for parents with back problems or recovering from C-sections.
Some models are designed to fold more traditionally, with the seat still in place, which means they’ll be heavier and might not fit as well in your car or boot. Some of these will also require two or more hands to fold, which could be a problem when you want to do it whilst being a parent.
It’s important to check whether the pushchair is suitable for the terrain you intend to use it. For example, if you’ll be driving through lots of cobblestones and gravel tracks, then ensure that the wheels are made of air-filled tyres to offer a more comfortable ride for your child.
If you’ll be using your pushchair mainly on roads that are paved and pavements then most three-wheelers have moulded wheels that will give your child an enjoyable ride. However, if you’ll be taking your child off-road or on rough ground choose an option equipped with removable mudguards and/or a quick-release front wheel that will help keep your pushing kit looking its best.
