Three Wheel Pushchairs - Why You Should Consider One
Three-wheel pushchairs are an excellent option for anyone, whether an avid fitness fan looking for an exercise stroller or a parent wanting a stroller that can be used for multiple purposes. Here are some reasons why you should consider purchasing one.
If you want your stroller to cope with both urban and rural surroundings, you should choose one with air-filled tyres (also called pneumatic). They will be more able to handle paths that are not paved.
It's easy to move around
Three-wheel pushchairs can be easily maneuvered on a trail in the countryside or in the city. They feature a large front wheel and a single handlebar making them more maneuverable than four-wheeled models. The wheels are often larger and provide more suspension, allowing for more comfort on rough terrain. Some three-wheeled pushchairs have a handbrake that can be operated with two fingers. This allows you to slow down on steep slopes.
If you're seeking a buggy that will perform well in both rural and urban environments, choose one with air-filled (or pneumatic) tires.

Make sure your buggy is safe for transporting infants and young children. Some have seats that can be used right from birth, whereas others are only suitable for babies ranging from six months old to. It's also worth checking compatibility with other seats such as buggie boards, buggies and car seats, which may be required if you have more than one child to carry.
Many three-wheeled pushchairs are lightweight which makes them easy to fold and load into the boot of your car. However, the massive rear wheels on these models can make them quite large when they're open, so you may need to take extra care when walking along narrow roads or aisles in shops. If you're concerned about this, look for models with an easy-release front wheel to reduce storage dimensions. This feature is available on some UPPAbaby pushchairs as well as other all-terrain designs. This is important, especially if you plan to use your pushchair in public transport or a small car boot.

Other all-terrain strollers feature a unique "Swivel to Go" system that allows the user to rotate the main wheels while keeping the front wheel in place. This makes them more stable on tough terrain and also makes them easier to manoeuvre in tight spaces. They're also a great choice if you reside in an area that is hilly, as the extra handbrake that's on the handle can aid in slowing down steep slopes.
