If you regularly walk through rough terrain or would like to go jogging, a three-wheel pushchair is the best option. They are a great option if require a vehicle that can take on any terrain from busy high streets to tracks in the woods.

To make your ride more maneuverable, look for a design with swivelling or lockable front wheels. The rear and front wheels that are larger give you an easier ride on different surfaces.

Manoeuvrability

A 3 wheel pushchair is a great choice for those who want to be able to maneuver easily. The wheels are set close together allowing the chassis to turn and twist much more easily than a standard four wheel pushchair, making them perfect for busy streets and shopping. Some models have smaller front wheels that can be locked and swivelled for additional maneuverability. The Roma Atlas, for example has two wheels placed close together in front and an innovative swivel lock that gives the ability to maneuver like three wheels, with added stability.

Many of our most loved 3 wheel stroller travel system wheelers can be transformed from pram, stroller, toddler seat and car-seat carrier as your child develops.
