3 Wheel Pushchairs
If you're a keen run or simply seeking a stroller that is more flexible 3 wheel pushchairs offer everything. Three-wheel prams, which have air-filled tires instead of the massive wheels that are often used on jogging buggies made for paved roads can be used to navigate woodland trails and cobbled streets.
Some models can be heavy and bulky due to their huge wheels. Make sure they fold up compactly and don't take up the entire space in your boot.
Stability
Many parents are dissuaded from buying three-wheel pushchairs due to stories of them tipping over - however, this is usually due to poor quality or poorly designed models. It is crucial to test the stability of a three-wheeler by putting it to the test physically. Also, you should think about how fast you can change direction with the front wheel and how easy it is to do so.
If you intend to use your pushchair on uneven terrain, choose an option with air-filled tires (also called pneumatic tyres). They are able to take on the bumps and lumps of gravel tracks or muddy paths. 3 wheeled pushchair will be more resistant to bumps and bumps on muddy paths or gravel roads than plastic wheels. They provide a more comfortable ride for your child. Some models come with an lockable wheel on the front that can be used for rough terrain.
All-terrain pushchairs are heavier than standard buggies on four wheels and you'll have to think about how much space they'll take up in your car's boot and if you'll be capable of lifting it up and down stairs once folded. They can also be heavy to lift and move, so you should try one out in person to see how much effort you'll need to exert to lift the buggy off the ground.
UPPAbaby's Ridge, a three-wheeled pram with a car-seat attachment, is an excellent example of a stable and maneuverable pram.

Its large rear wheels are filled with foam tyres that are never flat. They make it very easy to maneuver over rough terrain and its smooth suspension and adjustable handlebar guarantee the comfort of your baby or toddler.
Manoeuvrability
With two wheels at the back and a single wheel at the front, 3 wheel pushchairs are able to move and turn more easily than 4-wheeled pushchairs. They are great for narrow streets and maneuvering through crowded supermarket aisles. A lot of 3-wheeled pushchairs have a lock function on the front wheel to increase their capability to maneuver through narrow spaces and corners.
Another advantage of a 3-wheel pushchair is that they can deal with off-road terrain far better than standard strollers or prams.
