Three Wheeler Pushchairs
Three wheeler pushchairs can be an ideal choice for active parents who love to run or who are in search of strollers that can withstand various terrains. They're easy to maneuver and fold neatly for transport or storage.
They are simple to maneuver in tight spaces and corner stores become a breeze with their swivel wheel on the front. Look for models that have air-filled tyres to take on tracks and bumpy pavements.
Strollers
There's a wide selection of strollers on the market that are made to meet the different needs. Some are made for multiple infants (twins or with a tiny age gap), others are suitable for singletons and the rest are made to fit children up to the age of four years. Certain of these products come with safety guidelines which must be adhered to. For example, any child seat or carrying cot must be secured securely and should not extend further than 20cm away from the frame's edge.
Three-wheel pushchairs are easier to maneuver since they have just one front wheel. This makes them ideal for narrow streets or store aisles where space is limited. If you plan to use your stroller in a variety of different environments, think about an all-terrain pushchair. They're designed with tough tyres that are able to take on bumps and rough terrain more quickly than standard strollers. Some models even come with suspension to ensure a more comfortable ride for your baby or toddler.
Some all-terrain strollers are designed to function as jogging buggies well. three wheel pushchair is a great option for parents who wish to be active and take their child on a brisk stroll or jog. These pushchairs come with a bigger frame, tyres and wheels than strollers. They may also come with an adjustable handlebar and a handbrake.
If you plan to jog with your stroller, it's worth having a test drive in order to see how you like the experience and how it's easy to control. You'll also have to decide what kind of tyres you prefer in terms of filled with air or foam. Air-filled tyres are typically more durable but are prone to punctures, so you'll need a repair kit with you.

Joggers
If you're a buggy runner or jogger and need a 3-wheeler stroller designed specifically for jogging. These pushchairs have larger wheels and a suspension system that can take on bumps and uneven sidewalks. They are also heavier and more bulkier than traditional strollers, making them unsuitable for use in everyday situations unless you intend to take a short run.
The Mountain Buggy Terrain is one of the best 3-wheel joggers you can buy. It combines precision steering and maximum control for getting active, along with refined design and world-class maneuverability in the city. It's the ideal vehicle for parents who are dedicated runner but also wants to keep their baby close by and comfortable for long walks or running errands.
Other joggers that are suitable can be used to stroll around the city, such as the UPPAbaby Ridge Stroller Jake or the Baby Jogger Jet City Elite 2. These are air-filled tires which offer a smooth ride, but are prone punctures. You'll need an extra. Some models have adjustable or heavy-duty suspensions to ensure a smoother ride on rough terrain.
It is possible depending on your child's age and development, to move easily from the carrycot to a jogging sleigh. However, it's always best to check with your pediatrician first, especially if they recommend waiting until your child is at minimum six months old.
Another option is to buy an jogger, and then put to it a car seat adapter. For example, the phil&teds Sport buggy can be transformed into a 2-in-1 travel set with an infant car seat so you can take your child for walks or runs from day 1.
The Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 3-wheeler is a fashionable and practical 3-wheeler that can be used for strolling or jog lightly. It's ideal for parents who want to be active and trendy.

All-terrain
If you like to walk off the beaten track or reside in a rural area or you want to run with your baby an all-terrain pushchair could be the best option for you. The best all-terrain prams will feature large, sturdy wheels that can handle bumpy ground and have a good suspension to ensure a comfortable ride for your child.
They're generally larger than standard pushchairs and could be bulky to store in your car boot. They are also pricier than other pushchairs, so do bear this in mind when you are shopping.
You should look for one that has an adjustable bar that can be adjusted in height. This is helpful for those who have different heights. Think about whether you require a wrist strap to stop it from falling off when you go down slopes or hills. Some models have a fixed wheel on the front, which makes it more manageable when you're running. Certain models come with an swivel wheel that can be locked into place to make it easier to maneuver on uneven surfaces.
The type of tire is equally important. Many all-terrain strollers use air-filled tires that provide a smooth ride, but they can puncture. Some pushchairs come with a foam- or gel-filled tire that is less likely to puncture. However, it can add weight to the pushchair.
A good all-terrain stroller will include a large, spacious basket that is ideal to carry your baby's food. Some have a compact, one-handed fold, which allows for easy storage when not in use. Most often, they include a raincover and a footmuff.
One of our top all-terrain pushchairs is the Mamas & Papas Ocarro, which won the Mother and Baby Gold Award for 2017. The dual suspension expertly handles rough terrain and will allow you to take your child for walks on all-terrain surfaces and even run with it (once your child is old enough). It is suitable for infants from birth. It has a fully-reclining seat that can be used with a baby car or carrycot.
Folding
The majority of pushchairs fold. They are simple to store at home, and can easily be inserted in the boot of your vehicle. This is ideal when your car's boot is small, or if you plan to travel frequently with your family.
There are many different types of folds, so choose one that fits your lifestyle and preferences. Some of the latest buggys come with an auto-fold feature, which folds itself at one button. This allows you to handle a baby, bags, or other children and is ideal for parents suffering from back pain or recovering from C-sections.
Some models fold more traditionally, with the seat in place. This means they are more bulky and may not fit as tightly in your boot or vehicle. Some of these will also require two or more hands to fold, which could be a problem if you are being held by your child.
If you're looking for a simple umbrella fold or a more intricate mechanism, it's worth checking that the stroller you select can cope with the terrain you'll be riding it on. If you plan to navigate a lot of cobblestones and gravel tracks, then air-filled tyres will give you more comfort.
If you intend to use your pushchair mostly on roads that are paved or pavements and roads, then the majority of three-wheelers have tires that are molded to provide your child with a comfortable ride. If you intend 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 help your pushing kit look its best.
