The Benefits and Drawbacks of a
3 wheel stroller with seat Wheeled Pushchair
If you regularly walk through rough terrain, or wish to go jogging, a three-wheel pushchair is the
best lightweight 3 wheel stroller option. They are ideal if you want a buggy that will take on any terrain, from busy streets to tracks in the woods.
For greater maneuverability, opt for a model that has locking or swivelling front wheels. The rear and front wheels that are larger also give you the most comfortable ride on various surfaces.
Manoeuvrability
Manoeuvrability is one of the key benefits of a 3 wheel pushchair. The wheels are positioned close which allows the chassis to turn and turn more easily than a 4 wheel pushchair. This makes them perfect for busy shops and streets. Some even have a small pair of front wheels that can be locked and swivelled for extra manoeuvrability when needed. The Roma Atlas, for example is equipped with two wheels that are positioned closely together at the front, and a clever swivel lock that gives the ability to maneuver like a 3-wheeler with added stability.

Stability
There are a number of options to look for that will increase the stability of your buggy. For example, some designs feature a swivelling front wheel that can lock into place for extra stability on rough terrain. This can be particularly useful if you are going to use your pushchair off-road or jogging as it will give you the confidence to take any surface without difficulty.
Suspension is a great feature for stability. It will make your buggy more comfortable ride, for both you and your baby, particularly on uneven terrain. Some brands offer the option to alter the tyres of their pushchairs to tailor it to the terrain you'll be using it on.
