A three wheel pushchair-wheeled pushchair is perfect for those who walk a lot on rough terrain or jog. These are the best to use if you require a pushchair that can tackle any terrain, from busy streets to forest tracks.
Find models with front wheels that can be locked or rotated. This will allow you more flexibility. Larger wheels on the front and back also offer a more comfortable ride on varying terrains.
Manoeuvrability
Manoeuvrability is one of the key benefits of a 3 wheel stroller with bassinet wheel pushchair. The wheels are close and allow the chassis to turn and turn more easily than a 4 wheel pushchair. This makes them perfect for busy streets and shops. Some models have smaller front wheels that can be locked and swivelled to give them extra maneuverability. The Roma Atlas has two wheels at the front that are positioned close together and a smart lock that allows it to be as solid as a 3-wheeler while still allowing for the same maneuverability.
Many of our most loved 3 wheelers can be converted from stroller, pram, car-seat and toddler seats as your child grows. This is great when you plan to travel with your family, or take frequent trips to the shop. The Baby Jogger Nipper is a perfect illustration. It has Hauck airwheels XL and a 360-degree lockable swivel wheel, and a suspension which allows it to be used on all terrains.
The ickle Bubba Nipper is a different alternative. It's an all-terrain stroller with large puncture-proof tyres and a fantastic suspension that allows it to go on both off-road adventures and smooth city pavements. It is suitable for use from birth (in the reversible seat unit or with a carrycot compatible) and comes with a convenient quick fold that can be folded with one hand to store your boot and for airport travel.
It is essential to select the right wheels for a pushchair depending on where it is most likely to be used. Moulded wheels work well for urban use, but they won't do well on rougher ground. If you plan to take your pushchair off of paved surfaces, choose pneumatic tyres. They can withstand rough terrain.

It's got all the fantastic suspension and large wheels of an all-terrain model. However, it's also a fantastic urban pushchair, with a lightweight frame, a lockable front wheel and one-handed fold.
Stability
There are many options to look out for that will improve the stability of your buggy. For instance, some models have a swivelling front wheel that can be locked in place to provide extra stability on rough terrain. This is especially helpful if you plan to use your pushchair to jog or off-road. It will give you confidence to handle different surfaces.
Another excellent stability feature is suspension. This makes your buggy more comfortable for both the baby and you, especially on uneven ground. Some brands allow you to alter the tyres of their pushchairs, allowing it to be tailored to the terrain you will be using it on.

Weight
The disadvantage of 3 wheeled strollers is that they are heavy, particularly if you are required to traverse bumpy terrain and kerbs. The larger rear wheels of a 3-wheeler add to the overall weight, making it heavier than a 4-wheeler. This means that you will need more strength when lifting them.
All-terrain models are a good option if you want a pushchair to handle rough terrain or rough tarmac. These usually have special features, such as strong suspensions and big puncture-proof tyres.
