Three Wheeler Pushchairs
Three wheeler pushchairs are a great choice for parents who love to jog, or those looking for strollers that can withstand diverse terrains. They are easy to maneuver and fold neatly to be stored or transported.
They are simple to maneuver in tight spaces and corner stores are a breeze thanks to their swivel wheel on the front. Make sure you choose models with air-filled tyres that can overcome bumpy tracks and pavements.
Strollers
There's a huge range of strollers available that are designed to meet different needs. Some are specifically designed for multiple infants (twins or a smaller age gap) and others are suitable for singletons and the rest are designed for children from the age of four years. Many of them have safety guidelines that must be adhered to for example, a child seat or carrycot must be fastened securely and can't be more than 20cm away from the edge of the frame.
Three wheel pushchairs usually have a single front wheel making them more maneuverable than other models. This makes them perfect for navigating narrow streets or aisles in stores where space is scarce. If you're planning to use your stroller in a variety of different environments, think about an all-terrain pushchair. Built with tough tyres that can withstand bumps and rough terrain more quickly than the regular stroller. Some strollers are equipped with suspensions to help make the ride more comfortable.
Some all-terrain strollers are built to be jogging buggies as well. This is ideal for parents who want to stay active and take a quick walk or run with their child. These pushchairs are larger in frame, tyres and wheels than strollers. They may also come with an adjustable handlebar and a handbrake.
If you're planning to jog with your stroller, it's worth getting a test drive to see how you find the experience and how it's easy to manage. It's also important to determine which type of tyres you prefer and whether they're foam-filled or air-filled. Air-filled tyres are typically more durable, but they are also prone to punctures, so you'll need to have an repair kit on hand.
For a stylish and flexible option, take a look at the new 3-wheel pushchairs available from iCandy. They are equipped with fantastic all-terrain options, such as suspension, large puncture-proof tyres and an adjustable handlebar to suit both dads and mums. They are also in compliance with the EU REACH regulations and are low in phthalates, lead and other harmful chemicals.
Joggers
If you're a running enthusiast (or buggy runner) or want to be, you will need a pushchair with three wheels that is specifically designed for running. These pushchairs have larger wheels and a suspension system to handle bumps and uneven sidewalks. They're also typically heavier and bulkier, making them less suitable for everyday use unless you intend to take a stroll or go for an occasional run.
The Mountain Buggy Terrain jogger is one of the most popular
lightweight 3 wheel buggy-wheelers available on the market. It combines precision steering and maximum control for getting active, while also offering refined styling and world class manoeuvrability in urban environments. It's the perfect solution for parents who run but need to keep their children at a comfortable distance on long walks or for running errands.
Other good joggers can be used to walk through the city, like the UPPAbaby Ridge Stroller Jake or the Baby Jogger Jet City Elite 2. These have air-filled tyres, which give a very smooth ride, but they are prone to punctures so you'll need an extra. Some also have adjustable or heavy-duty suspension to make the ride smoother on rough terrain.
Based on the age of your child, you may be able to transition from a carrycot infant car seat into one of these jogging strollers without too much difficulty. But, it's always best to talk to your pediatrician first, especially when they advise waiting until your child is at least 6 months old.
You can also purchase the jogger, and add an adapter for car seats compatible with it. For example the phil&teds Sport buggy can be transformed into a two-in-one travel system with an infant car seat, which means you can take your baby on runs or walks from day one.
The Baby Jogger City Mini GT2
3 wheel stroller with bassinet-wheeler is stylish and practical 3-wheeler which can be used for strolling or jog lightly. It's a great choice for parents who are active and trendy and can fit a car seat starting at birth (with the optional City infant car seat adapter). It comes with tyres that are air-filled and three recline positions so your child will be able to enjoy an enjoyable ride. it folds down in an instant.
All-terrain
If you like to walk off the beaten track, live in a rural location or you want to run with your child an all-terrain stroller could be a good choice for you. The best all-terrain prams will come with large, robust wheels that can cope with bumpy terrain and a great suspension to make your journey comfortable for your child.
They are generally larger than standard pushchairs, and may be difficult to store in the boot of your car. These pushchairs are also more expensive than other pushchairs. Be aware of this when you are shopping around.
Find a model that has a handlebar that can be adjusted in height that can be used if you and your partner have different heights. You should also consider whether you'd prefer a wrist strap that reduces the possibility of it slipping off on sloping ground or slipping over hills. Some models have a fixed wheel at the front, which makes it more stable when you are jogging. Some models come with an swivel wheel that can be locked into place to make it easier to maneuver on uneven surfaces.
Tyre type is important too. Many all-terrain strollers use air-filled tires that provide an easy ride, but can puncture. Some have a foam or gel-filled tyre which are less likely to puncture but will add extra weight to the pushchair.
A good all-terrain stroller will include a large, spacious basket that is useful to carry your baby's food. Some models will come with a convenient, compact, one-hand fold to make it easier to store it away when not in use. They will often have raincovers and footmuffs included as well.
The Mamas & Papas Ocarro is one of our
top 3 wheel strollers all-terrain pushchairs. It won an award called the Mother and Baby Gold Award in 2017. The dual suspension is able to handle rough terrain and allows you to take your child on walks across all terrains and even run with it (once your child is old enough). It is suitable from birth and has a fully reclining seat and can be used as a travel system that includes an infant car seat or carrycot attached.
Folding
Many of the most well-known pushchairs fold. They are easy to store at home, and they can be easily fitted into the car's boot. This is perfect for cars with boot spaces that are small, or if you plan to travel frequently with your family.
There are a variety of fold types, so search for one that is suited to your lifestyle and needs. For instance some of the most recent buggy models feature a revolutionary auto-fold system that folds on its own with a simple push of a button. This frees your hands to handle a baby, bags, or other children and is perfect for parents with back problems or recovering from C-sections.
Other models are designed to fold more traditionally and with the seat on, which means they'll be a little bulkier and may not fit as snugly in your car boot. Some models will require two hands or more to fold. This could pose a problem for parents who want to hold their child while folding.
Whether you prefer an easy umbrella fold or a more complex mechanism, you should ensure that the stroller you select will be able to deal with the terrain you'll be riding it on. For instance, if you'll be driving through a lot of cobblestones or gravel tracks, make sure the wheels are made from air-filled tyres that will provide a more comfortable ride for your little one.
If you'll use your pushchair mostly on pavements and paved roads the majority of three-wheelers come with moulded wheels that will give your baby an easy ride. If you're planning to take your child off-road, or on rough terrain, choose one with removable mudguards and/or an front wheel that has quick-release. This will make your pushing kit look its
best 3 wheel stroller travel system.
