Three Wheeler Pushchairs
If you’re a parent who enjoys jogging or are looking for a stroller which can handle a variety of types of terrain, three wheeler pushchairs are a great option. They are easy to maneuver and fold neatly for storage or transport.
They are easy to maneuver in tight spaces, and supermarket corners can be a breeze with their swivel front wheels. Find models that have air-filled tyres to overcome bumpy tracks and pavements.
Strollers
There’s a huge range of strollers available, all designed to meet the needs of different people. Some are designed for multiple infants (twins or a small age gap), others are suitable for singletons, and the rest are designed for children from the age of four years. Many of them have safety guidelines to be adhered to, for example – any child seat or carrycot has to be fastened securely and can’t be more than 20cm from the edge of the frame.
Three wheel pushchairs tend to have a single wheel on the front, making them more maneuverable than other models. This makes them perfect for narrow aisles or streets in stores where space is limited. Think about an all-terrain stroller if you plan to use it in different environments. Built with tough tyres they can take on rough terrain and bumps much more easily than a regular stroller. Some strollers come with suspensions that help make the ride more comfortable.
Some all-terrain strollers are built to function as jogging buggies well. This is a great option for parents who wish to exercise and take their child for a stroll or jog. These pushchairs usually come with a bigger frame and tyres that are more substantial than a normal stroller, and they can include features such as an adjustable handlebar or handbrake.
If you plan to jog with your stroller, it’s worth taking a test drive to see how you find the ride and how it’s easy to manage. You’ll also have to decide which type of tyres prefer in terms of foam-filled or air-filled. Air-filled tyres are more durable but they’re also more susceptible to punctures. You’ll require a repair kit to keep with you.
If you are looking for a stylish and versatile option, look at the latest 3-wheel pushchairs from iCandy. They have some fantastic all-terrain features such as suspension systems 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 EU REACH regulations and low in lead, phthalates and other chemicals.
Joggers
If you’re a buggy jogger or a buggy runner then you’ll require a three-wheeler stroller that is designed specifically for jogging. These have larger wheels than standard strollers, and a suspension that is specially designed to handle bumps and uneven sidewalks. They are also generally heavier and bulkier, making them less suitable for everyday use, unless you plan to go out on the occasional run.
The Mountain Buggy Terrain is one of the best 3-wheel joggers on the market. It offers maximum control and precision control to get active with elegant styling and superb manoeuvrability within the city. It’s the perfect solution for parents who run but want to keep their child at a comfortable distance during long walks or errands.
Other good joggers can be used for strolling around the city, like the UPPAbaby Ridge Stroller Jake or the Baby Jogger Jet City Elite 2. These have air-filled tyres which provide a smooth ride, but they are prone to punctures, so you’ll need to have an extra. Some have heavy-duty or adjustable suspensions to make the ride smoother on rough terrain.
Depending on 3 wheeler pushchair of your child, you may be able to transition from a carrycot infant car seat into one of these strollers without much trouble. But, it’s always recommended to consult your pediatrician first, especially if they recommend waiting until your child is at least six months old.
You can also buy a jogger, and then include an adapter for car seats compatible with it. The phil&teds Sport buggy, for example is able to be converted into a two-in-one system that includes an infant seat to take your baby for runs or walks from the first day.
The Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 is a fashionable and practical 3-wheeler that is ideal for casual strolling and light jogging. It’s perfect for parents who want to be active and fashionable. The City infant car seat is able to be used as early as birth with the optional adapter. It has three recline positions and air-filled tires, so your child can enjoy a comfortable journey. It also folds quickly.
All-terrain
If you enjoy walking off the beaten track, live in a rural location or want to go jogging with your baby an all-terrain pushchair could be a good choice for you. 3 wheel pushchair -terrain pushchairs will have big, rugged wheels that can handle bumpy ground and have a good suspension to make the journey more comfortable for your baby.
They are typically larger than standard pushchairs and could be a hassle to store in your car boot. They are also more expensive than other pushchairs. Be aware of this when you are shopping for a new one.
Choose a model that features adjustable height handlebars, which will help in the event that you and your partner have different heights. Also, consider whether you want a wrist strap that reduces the possibility of it slipping off on sloping ground or slipping over hills. Some models are designed with an incline front wheel fixed, which makes it easier to control if you want to use it for running. Certain models come with a swivel wheel that can be locked into place to help you maneuver on uneven surfaces.
Tyre type is important too. A majority of all-terrain pushchairs are equipped with air-filled tyres, which create a smooth ride but can puncture easily. Some come with a gel-filled or foam-filled tyre which are less likely to puncture, but can add extra weight to the pushchair.
A quality all-terrain stroller will have a large basket that is useful to carry your baby’s food. Some have a compact, single-handed fold that allows for easy storage when not in use. Often, they include a footmuff and raincover.
One of our top all-terrain pushchairs is the Mamas & Papas Ocarro, which won an award for the Mother and Baby Gold Award for 2017. The dual suspension can handle rough terrain, allowing you to take your child on walks across all terrains and even go jogging with it (once your child is old enough). It is suitable from birth and includes a fully reclined seat and can be used as a travel system that includes an infant car seat or carrycot attached.
Folding
The majority of pushchairs fold. They are simple to store in your home, and can easily fit in the trunk of your car. This is ideal for cars with boot spaces that are small, or if you plan to travel frequently with your family.
There are many different fold styles, so you need to look for one that fits your lifestyle and requirements. For example some of the most recent buggy models come with a revolutionary auto-fold that folds down at the simple push of a button. This leaves your hands free to handle a baby, bags or other children, and is ideal for parents with back problems or recovering from C-sections.
Some models are designed to fold more traditional and with the seat on, so they’ll weigh a bit more and might not fit as well in your car boot. Some models will require two hands or more to fold. This could pose a problem for parents who wish to hold their child while folding.
It is essential to ensure that the stroller is suitable for the terrain you plan to use it. For instance, if you’ll be driving through many cobblestones or gravel tracks, make sure the wheels are made of air-filled tyres for an easier ride for your baby.
If you intend to use your pushchair primarily on pavements or paved roads and roads, then the majority of three-wheelers have moulded tires that will allow your child to enjoy a smooth ride. If you’re planning to take your child off-road, or on rough terrain, choose a model that has removable mudguards and/or an front wheel that has quick-release. This will make your pushing kit look its best.
