The Benefits and Drawbacks of a 3 Wheeled Pushchair

If you often walk across rough terrain or would like to exercise, a three-wheel pushchair is the ideal choice. They are a great option if want a buggy that will handle all types of terrain, from busy streets to tracks in the woods.

Look for models with front wheels that can be locked or swivelled. This will give you more flexibility. Front and rear wheels that are larger give you the most comfortable ride on different surfaces.

Manoeuvrability

A 3-wheel pushchair is a fantastic option for those who wish to be able to maneuver effortlessly. The wheels are placed close to each other, allowing the chassis to rotate and turn much more easily than a conventional 4 wheel pushchair, making them ideal for busy streets and shopping. 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, which are set close together and a smart lock that allows it to be as stable as a three-wheeler, while maintaining the same maneuverability.

A lot of our most well-loved 3 wheelers can be converted from pram, stroller, car-seat and toddler seats as your child develops.

It features Hauck airwheels that are XL, a 360-degree swivel lockable wheel and a suspension that allows it to be used on any terrain.

Stability

There are many features you can check for that will increase the stability of your buggy.
