Three Wheeler Pushchairs
Whether you're an active parent who loves to run or looking for a stroller that can handle a variety of types of terrain, three wheeler pushchairs are a good choice. They're easy to manoeuvre and fold easily for storage or transport.
With one front wheel that can rotate easily, they're able to turn in tight spaces, making supermarket corners a breeze. Choose models with air-filled tires that can handle rough roads and uneven pavements.
Strollers
There's a wide selection of strollers available each designed to meet different needs. Some are made for multiple infants (twins or a small age gap), others are suitable for singletons and the rest are designed to accommodate children from the age of four years. Certain of these products come with safety guidelines which must be followed. For instance the child's seat or carrying cot must be secured securely and cannot be more than 20cm from the frame's edge.
Three wheel pushchairs usually have a single front wheel making them more maneuverable than other models. This makes them ideal for narrow streets or aisles in stores where space is at a premium. If you're planning to use your stroller in a variety of different environments, you should consider an all-terrain pushchair. They are designed with tyres made of tough rubber that can take on bumps and rough terrain more quickly than regular strollers. Some even have suspension to to make the ride more comfortable for your toddler or baby.
Some all-terrain buggies are also designed to be used as jogging buggies. This is a great option for parents who want to be active and take their children for a stroll or run. These pushchairs usually come with a bigger frame and tyres than a regular stroller, and they can have features like a handbrake or adjustable handlebar.
It's worth taking your stroller out for a test ride to see how it rides and how well it handles. You'll have to decide if you prefer foam-filled or air-filled tyres. Air-filled tyres are more durable, but they are also more prone to punctures. You'll require a repair kit to keep with you.

Joggers
If you're a buggy runner or jogger then you'll require a three-wheeler stroller specifically designed for jogging. These pushchairs feature larger wheels and a suspension system to take on bumps and uneven sidewalks. They are also heavier and bulkier than standard strollers, making them unsuitable for everyday use unless you intend to take a short run.

Some models have adjustable or heavy-duty suspensions to give you a smoother ride on rough terrain.
You may be able, depending on your child's age, to easily transition from carrying a stroller to a jogging sleigh. However, it's best to talk to your pediatrician first, especially when they suggest waiting until your child is at minimum six months old.
You can also purchase the jogger, and include an adapter for car seats compatible with it. The phil&teds Sport buggy, for example is able to be converted into a 2-in-1 system with an infant seat, allowing you to take your child on walks or runs from the first day.

All-terrain
If you like to walk off the beaten track, live in a rural area or you want to run with your baby, an all-terrain pushchair may be the best option for you. The top all-terrain strollers have large, rugged wheels that can withstand bumpy terrain and excellent suspension to ensure your child's ride is comfortable.
They are typically larger than standard pushchairs and can be heavy to fit into your car boot. They also tend to be pricier than other pushchairs, so keep this in mind when shopping around.
You should look for models that have an adjustable bar that can be adjusted in height. This will be helpful when you and/or your companion have different heights. Think about whether you require a wrist strap to prevent it from falling off on hills or slopes. Some models have a fixed wheel on the front, making it easier to control when you are jogging. Some models have a swivel wheel that can be locked into place to allow you to navigate on uneven surfaces.
The type of tyre used is also important. A lot of all-terrain strollers have air-filled tires, which provide an enjoyable ride, but can puncture. 3 wheel buggy have gel or foam-filled tire, which is less likely to puncture. However, it can add weight to the pushchair.
A high-quality pushchair that is all-terrain will have an adequate-sized basket that is handy for carrying your baby's shopping. Some models have a compact, single-handed fold that makes it easy to store when not in use. It is common to find raincovers and footmuffs included as well.

It is suitable from birth and features a fully reclined seat, and can be used as a travel set-up with an infant car seat or carrycot attached.
Folding
Some of the most popular pushchairs are folding models. They are smaller in your home and are also easier to fit in the trunk of your car and are ideal if you're short on storage or have a tiny car boot, or plan on traveling a lot as families.
There are many different fold types, so look for one that is suited to your lifestyle and preferences. Many of the newest buggy models have an auto-fold feature that collapses by itself with just one button. This leaves your hands free to handle a baby, bags, or other children and is perfect for parents who have back issues or recovering from C-sections.
Other models are designed to fold more traditional and with the seat on, which means they'll weigh a bit more and may not fit as snugly in your car or boot. Some models will require two hands or more to fold. This could pose an issue for parents who want to hold their child while folding.
Whether you prefer an easy umbrella fold or a more intricate mechanism, you should ensure that the stroller you select will be able to deal with the terrain you'll be riding it on. If you plan to navigate a lot of cobblestones and gravel tracks, then tyres with air will provide a more comfortable ride.
If you plan to use your pushchair mostly on roads that are paved or pavements and roads, then the majority of three-wheelers have moulded tires that will give your baby an easy ride. However, if you'll be taking your little one off-road or over rough terrain choose an option that comes with a set of movable or quick-release front wheel to help keep your pushing kit looking its best.
