Choose a model that has pneumatic tires (also known as air-filled tyres) in case you intend to drive the vehicle in both urban and rural areas. These can cope with rough terrain as well as tracks that are paved.
Easy to maneuver
With a wheel at the front and two at the back, a 3-wheel pram offers superior manoeuvrability that makes it easy to navigate rough terrain. They're a great option for parents who wish to get off-road and have an active lifestyle. They are also more stable than 4 wheel prams, and are a great option for parents who wish to jog while their baby is on the move.
Many 3 wheeler strollers are designed to be all-terrain strollers. They come with features that permit them to handle any terrain, including sandy and muddy paths as well as stony and uneven terrain. Some come with large, puncture-resistant wheels that are ideal for use on all terrains. The extra wheels can increase the weight and size of the buggy, so keep this in mind when selecting an all-terrain stroller for your family.
MFM reviewer Tara loved the Core's oversized wheels, which she says, "have great manoeuvrability and make it really easy to get over rough ground and kerb pops in town." It also has a lockable front wheel and foam-filled, never-flat tyres which mean you aren't worried about punctures during your adventures.
The UPPAbaby Ridge all-terrain stroller is a different model that comes with a wide range of features such as suspension, adjustable handlebars, and the ability to fold with one hand. It's also suitable for babies and can be made into a travel system with the purchase of a compatible car seat. This 3-wheeler all-terrain pushchair is also available in a variety of finishes and colours to suit your design.
Folding is easy
If you're planning on taking your buggy out and about often, it's worth opting for a three-wheeler that's easy to fold. This will help you save time when you have to load the buggy into and out of a car or into a tiny space, like an aisle in a supermarket.
Certain brands make it a key selling point that their pushchairs are quick and simple to fold. This can be a huge selling point, particularly when you'll use your buggy frequently for getting on and off public transport or frequently in and out of your car.
If you are looking for a quick and simple folding system, there are many options to pick from. Many lightweight buggies come with an innovative one-hand pull mechanism which allows you to fold the frame swiftly and easily. This includes the renowned Priam pushchair which won silver in the MFM lightweight buggy review in 2014. The Baby Jogger City Mini also boasts a patented quick-fold system that requires only one hand needed, and is able to be folded flat in only five seconds.
If you are planning to use the pushchair to walk in urban areas, or in conjunction with an infant car seat or carrycot, it is essential to select a pushchair that folds easily. If you require your buggy to be stable when walking over uneven ground or bumping down and up curbs, it's best to opt for a four-wheeler because they generally have more stability and are less likely to be swept over than three-wheelers.
If you intend to take your buggy on rural roads or non-paved tracks, choose a model that has air-filled tyres. They will be able to handle rough terrain better than moulded wheels. Some models have wheels that lock on the front to provide extra stability on rough terrain. Try pushing the pushchair over different types of terrain at the store if you're not sure of the type of terrain you'll use it on. Certain models come with a variety of features to help you adapt your pushchair for different types of terrain, like a suspension system and extra large puncture-proof tyres. They also let you upgrade to a wider set of tyres for tackling more extreme conditions.
Easy to clean
As many parents will know the price of a pushchair is typically expensive, which is why it is essential to keep it in good condition and functioning properly. The best way to achieve this is by cleaning it regularly. It is best to wipe it clean with soapy water that is warm and soft to remove most dirt and marks. However, you can also use a brush or a pipe (on low setting) to get into the corners and crevices of your stroller. It is best to do this on an unseasonably warm, dry day. It is best to turn the stroller upside down and then use brush.
If you're concerned about staining your clothes, try a solution that is made of water and vinegar. Also, you can apply bicarbonate soda on the cloth. Both can help remove staining and neutralize odors. Regularly wiping the surface with warm water can keep mould from developing which is not just ugly, but also unsanitary for toddlers and babies to sit on.
One of the best tips to keep your pushchair clean and in good working order is to read the manual. This will contain helpful information on how to put together and take down your buggy and will also provide material information. The manual will tell you how to wash the fabric sections including the hood, hood and other parts of the buggy (everyone recommends washing them at least two times every two weeks) and to examine the pressure of air in the tyres frequently (normally indicated by the manual).
Because the majority of pushchairs are used often the chassis and moving parts can be subjected to a lot of wear and tear over the course of time. If left unattended, this may result in loose bolts and nuts or even rust. Therefore, it's an ideal idea to examine your stroller regularly for signs of wear. Contact the manufacturer immediately if there are any problems. This will keep your pushchair functioning properly and avoid any safety issues.
Easy to transport
A 3-wheeler pushchair is much more maneuverable than a 4-wheel model. This is especially true if the rear wheels are big and designed to deal with rough terrain. They're usually able to negotiate kerbs and bumps more easily, meaning you can pop it up and down and around town without difficulty. If you reside in a rural location or frequently take your baby or toddler out on walks on uneven ground or mud, then an all-terrain pushchair is likely to be the best fit. They're ideal for woodland strolls and for tackling difficult terrain with a lot of them equipped to connect to your car seat or infant carrier for an all-in-one solution.
Most pushchairs for all terrains have large, puncture-proof tyres which are designed to be tough enough to withstand uneven and bumpy surfaces. However, many of them still have good suspension too to assist you in navigating difficult areas and ensure that the ride is as comfortable as it can be for your child. They also tend to be quite heavy, which means they may be difficult to lift when folded, especially when you're using them for children in the seat and you have lots of shopping bags.
Another thing to consider is the size of the basket on the pushchair with 3 wheels you're thinking about. Some have smaller shopping baskets than their 4-wheel counterparts. If you intend to go on lots of shopping, or have a growing baby you may require a larger stroller that can hold you.
A great example of an all-terrain pushchair is the Roma Atlas, which has one front wheel, and two large back wheels. This makes it incredibly maneuverable for such a large pram and also the option of incorporating your car seat or baby carrier. It is equipped with numerous features that are suitable for parents, such as an easy to use hand brake, adjustable handles and an extended hood that can be extended. It's perfect for walking on all surfaces and can also function as a jogging stroller once your child reaches the appropriate age.
