If you often walk across rough terrain, or want to go jogging, a three-wheel pushchair is the best 3 wheel stroller travel system option. They are ideal if you need a buggy that can handle all types of terrain, from busy high streets to tracks in the woods.
For more manoeuvrability, look for a design with swivelling or lockable front wheels. Larger wheels both front and back also offer a more comfortable ride over different terrains.
Manoeuvrability
A 3 wheeler pushchairs-wheel pushchair is an excellent choice for those who want to be able to maneuver effortlessly. The wheels are close together which allows the chassis to turn and turn more easily than a 4 wheel pushchair. This makes them ideal for busy streets and shops. Some even have a pair of front wheels that can be locked and swivelled to provide additional maneuverability when required. The Roma Atlas, for example is equipped with two wheels that are positioned closely together at the front, and an ingenious lock that swivels to give it all the maneuverability of three wheels, with added stability.
