The Benefits and Drawbacks of a 3 Wheeled Pushchair

A three-wheeled pushchair is perfect if you walk regularly on rough terrain or jog. They are great if you need a buggy that can be able to handle any terrain from busy high streets to woodland tracks.

For greater maneuverability, opt for a model with locks or swivelling front wheels. Larger wheels, both front and back also offer a more comfortable ride over various surfaces.

Manoeuvrability

A 3 wheel buggies-wheel pushchair is a fantastic option for those looking to move effortlessly. The wheels are set close together allowing the chassis to turn and twist more easily than a conventional 4 wheel pushchair, making them perfect for busy streets and shopping. Some have small front wheels that can be locked and swivelled to give them extra maneuverability. The Roma Atlas, for example has two wheels placed closely together at the front, and a clever lock that can swivel to give the ability to maneuver like three wheels, with added stability.

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