If you often walk across rough terrain or would like to run in a pushchair with three wheels, it's the best option. These are the best to use if you require a buggy to handle any terrain from busy streets to forest tracks.
Look for designs with front wheels that can be locked or swivelled. This will allow you more flexibility. Larger wheels, both front and back also offer a more comfortable ride over various terrains.
Manoeuvrability
A 3-wheel pushchair is an excellent option for those who wish to be able to maneuver effortlessly. The wheels are positioned close which allows the chassis to turn and twist more easily than a four wheel pushchair. This makes them suitable for busy shops and streets. Some even have a pair of front wheels that can be locked and swivelled for extra maneuverability when needed. The Roma Atlas has two wheels at the front, which are set close together and a clever lock that allows it to be as stable as a three-wheeler while maintaining the same maneuverability.
