Three Wheeler Pushchairs
If you're a parent who enjoys jogging or searching for a stroller that is able to take on a variety of types of terrain,
three wheeler pushchairs are a great option. They're easy to maneuver and fold easily for storage or transport.
They are simple to maneuver in tight spaces and corner supermarkets become a breeze with their swivel front wheels. Look for models that have air-filled tyres to overcome bumpy tracks and pavements.
Strollers
There are many strollers available that are designed to meet certain requirements. Some are designed for multiple babies (twins or a small age gap), others are suitable for singletons and the rest are made to fit children from the age of four years. Many of them have safety guidelines that must be followed For instance, any child seat or carrycot needs to be fastened securely and can't be more than 20cm away from the edge of the frame.
Three-wheel pushchairs are more maneuverable since they have just one front wheel. This makes them ideal for narrow streets or aisles in shops 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 tyres made of tough rubber that can deal with bumps and rough terrain more quickly than regular strollers. Some strollers are equipped with suspensions that help make the ride more comfortable.
Some all-terrain buggies are also designed to be used as jogging buggies. This is ideal for parents who wish to stay active and take a quick walk or jog with their child. These pushchairs typically come with larger frames and tyres that are more substantial than a normal stroller, plus they may include features such as a handbrake or adjustable handlebar.
It's worth taking your stroller out for an initial test ride to see how it performs and how well it handles. You'll need to decide if you prefer foam-filled or air-filled tyres. Air-filled tyres are generally more durable, but they're also susceptible to punctures so you'll need a repair kit with you.
If you are looking for a stylish and versatile option, take a look at the new
3 wheel bassinet stroller-wheel pushchairs from iCandy. They are equipped with fantastic all-terrain features such as a suspension system that is large enough to withstand puncture-proof tyres as well as an adjustable handlebar to suit both mums and dads. They also comply with the REACH regulations of the EU. This means that they are free of lead and phthalates.
Joggers
If you are a buggy jogger or buggy runner, you'll need a
3 wheel twin stroller-wheeler stroller that is designed specifically for jogging. These pushchairs have larger wheels and a suspension system that can take on bumps and uneven sidewalks. They're also typically larger and heavier, making them less suitable for everyday use unless you intend to go on an occasional run.
The Mountain Buggy Terrain jogger is one of the most popular
3 wheel tandem stroller-wheelers available on the market. It combines maximum control and precise control to get active with refined styling and excellent manoeuvrability within the city. It's a dream come true for the parent who is a committed runner, but also wants to keep their baby close to them and comfortable for long walks or running errands.
There are also other excellent Joggers that are suitable for strolling around the city, such as the UPPAbaby Ridge Stroller Jake and the Baby Jogger City Elite 2 Stroller Jet. They have tyres that are filled with air that provide a smooth ride, but they are prone to punctures and you'll need an extra. Some models have adjustable or heavy-duty suspensions that ensure a smoother ride on rough terrain.
Based on the age of your child, you might be able to transition from a carrycot infant car seat to one of these strollers without a lot of difficulty. However, it's always best to check with your pediatrician first, especially if they recommend waiting until your child is at least six months old.
Another option is to purchase the jogger and then put to it a car seat adapter. For example the phil&teds Sport buggy can be turned into a 2-in-1 travel system 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 stylish and practical 3-wheeler which can be used to stroll or jog lightly. It's a great choice for parents who are active and trendy and can also accommodate carseats starting at birth (with the optional City infant car seat adapter). It has
3 wheeler pushchair off road recline positions and air-filled tires so that your child can enjoy an enjoyable ride. It also folds quickly.
All-terrain
All-terrain strollers are a great choice if you enjoy taking a walk off the beaten track, live in rural areas, or wish to run with your baby. The most effective all-terrain prams have big, rugged wheels that can cope with bumpy ground and have a good suspension to make your journey comfortable for your little one.
They are typically larger than standard pushchairs, and can be heavy 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.
You should choose one that has adjustable height bars. This is helpful if you and/or your partner have different heights. Consider whether you need an adjustable wrist strap to keep it from falling off on slopes or hills. Some models are designed with a fixed front wheel, which will be easier to control if you want to use it for jogging. Some models have a swivel front wheel that can be locked into position to assist you in maneuvering on uneven surfaces.
The type of tyre is also important. A lot of all-terrain strollers have air-filled tires that provide an enjoyable ride, but they can puncture. Some come with a foam or gel-filled tyre which are less likely to puncture, but can increase the weight of the pushchair.
A good all-terrain pushchair will have a large, well-stocked basket that is handy for carrying your baby's shopping. Some models will come with a convenient compact, one-hand fold to help you put it away when not in use. They usually come with a raincover and footmuff included as well.
One of our top all-terrain pushchairs is the Mamas & Papas Ocarro, which was awarded the Mother and Baby Gold Award for 2017. The dual suspension expertly handles rough terrain and allows you to take your child on all-terrain walks and even run with it (once your child is old enough). It is suitable from birth and features a fully reclined seat, and can be used as a travel system that includes an infant car seat or carrycot.
Folding
A few of the most popular pushchairs fold. They are simple to store in your home, and can easily be inserted into the trunk of your car. This is ideal if your car boot is small, or if you plan to travel frequently with your family.
There are a variety of fold styles, so you need to look for one that fits your lifestyle and needs. Some of the latest buggys have an auto-fold feature that folds itself at a push of a single button. This lets you hold your child, other children or bags using both hands. It's also ideal for parents who suffer from back issues or are recovering from C-sections.
Some models are designed to fold more conventionally, with the seat still on, which means they'll weigh a bit more and won't be as comfortable to fit in your car boot. Some models will require two hands or more to fold. This could pose an issue for parents who wish to hold their child while folding.
It's important to check whether the pushchair is capable of handling the terrain you intend to use it. For example, if you'll be navigating many cobblestones or gravel tracks, make sure the wheels are made from air-filled tyres to offer an easier ride for your child.
If you plan to use your pushchair mostly on roads that are paved or pavements, then most three-wheelers will have moulded tires that will give your baby an easy ride. If you intend to transport your child off-road or on rough terrain, you should choose a model with removable mudguards or an front wheel that has quick-release. This will make your pushchair look its
best 3 wheel stroller.
