Three-wheeled pushchairs can be an excellent option for mothers who enjoy walking on varied terrain. These buggies are much easier to maneuver and more stable on rough terrain because they have larger front wheels.

Stability

In general, the larger the wheels on your pushchair, the better it will deal with rough terrain and dirt. It is because larger wheels are more likely to skid on dips and bumps. They also offer a more comfortable ride for your child. The disadvantage is that the extra wheels could take up space in your car boot, and certain models with big front wheels may require to remove them if you want to store it flat.

All-terrain pushchairs are made to be able to take on anything from high-street strolls to woodland walks, and come equipped with features that enable them to achieve this, like robust suspension and huge puncture-proof tyres. These types are typically more expensive, but if your pushchair is used off the beaten path regularly, they may be worth the cost.

If you intend to use your pushchair on pavements, you should consider choosing one with air-filled tyres (sometimes called pneumatic tyres) because they are better suited to rough terrain than tyres made of solid rubber. These tyres are also less likely to break than ones made of steel or hard plastic.

Manoeuvrability

A 3 wheel stroller with car seat-wheeled pushchair is much easier to maneuver and steer than a 4-wheeler. The single front wheel makes it easy to navigate over bumps and rough terrain. Many models come with suspension systems that absorb shocks and give your baby an easy ride. MFM's Kath test-driven a three-wheeled buggie and was amazed by its ability to handle uneven pavements, cobblestones, and dirt tracks. She was able to easily get up and down kerbs, and the wheels were quick to get over grass too.

There are three main kinds of 3 wheel pushchairs that include joggers, strollers, and all-terrain models.

It's important to remember that these types of pushchairs tend to be heavier and bigger than other pushchairs which is why it's essential to consider how you'll be transporting them or storing them when choosing the model you want to use.

Weight

In general 3 wheeler pushchair off road-wheeled pushchairs tend to be heavier and more spacious than normal pushchairs. This is particularly true when they feature large back wheels. This can make it difficult to lift the pushchair when folded, for example when loading into a car boot or navigating stairs. This can make the pushchair feel heavy and restrict your ability to maneuver in narrow spaces or aisles.

All-terrain pushchairs are made to withstand a variety of different terrains, such as rough and uneven ground, mud and gravel paths.

The iCandy Core, for example is a pushchair for all-terrain use that checks off a number of boxes. It comes with a huge 10kg basket, a one-handed fold and an adjustable handlebar. The large tyres are filled with foam tyres that never go flat. You don't have to worry about punctures. The seat can be used from birth and is suitable for all different ages.

We also love how easy it is to clean, with the fabric simply removing from the frame and then washing in cold water.

Tyres

A 3-wheel pushchair's tyres will typically be bigger than those of a 4-wheeler and can help navigate off-road terrain. The UPPAbaby Ridge for instance is equipped with large tyres filled with foam that don't flatten, as well as a suspension system. This makes it perfect for long walks over rough terrain. It's also designed to be suitable for jogging when your baby is old enough due to a 360 swivel lockable front wheel and an adjustable suspension.

However, larger tyres could increase the overall weight of the pushchair. You'll have to take this into account when deciding on the model. You'll also have to decide if you want wheels that can be removed to make it easy to store in your car boot.
