These are more efficient and puncture-proof on surfaces that are not paved.
Stability
Generally, the bigger the wheels on your pushchair is, the better it will deal with rough ground and terrain. This is because larger wheels have a larger contact surface so are less likely to slide over dips and bumps. The larger wheels also provide the most comfortable ride for your child. The downside is the extra wheels are a burden on the car boot. Some models of pushchairs that have large front wheels need to be removed in order to keep them flat.
All-terrain strollers come with features like large puncture-proof tires, as well as robust suspension that allows them to withstand everything from busy high-street strolls to forest hikes. They are often more expensive than other models, but when you frequently use your pushchair away from the main track they could be worth the extra investment.
It is recommended to select a pushchair that has pneumatic (or air-filled) tires if you intend to take it off paved surfaces. They are more suitable for rough terrain than solid rubber tyres. They are also less likely to puncture than those made of metal or hard plastic.
Some pushchairs let you remove the front wheel when they are not in use. This can make them easier to store, particularly when you have an empty boot. Some models have front wheels that can be locked into place to provide extra stability on rough terrain. It's worth checking the ease of you to use a pushchair with this feature before you buy.
It is important to think about how easy it will make it to add a second seat or a parent-facing pushchair to your. This is particularly true when you have a child with you. Some models are designed to be quick and easy to switch between these types of configurations, whereas others may require a little more patience.
Manoeuvrability
A 3 wheel jogger-wheel pushchair is often more maneuverable and manage than a four-wheeler, with the single wheel in front making it easy to maneuver over rough terrain or bumps. A lot of models have suspension systems that help to absorb shocks and provide your child with a smooth ride. MFM's Kath tried a tri-wheeled buggie and was amazed by the ease with which it handled uneven pavements, cobblestones, and dirt tracks. Kath found it easy to get up and down kerbs and the wheels were quick to negotiate over grass too.
There are three types of 3 wheeled pushchairs: strollers (also called Joggers) models that are all-terrain, and all-terrain models. Strollers have smaller wheels and shorter frames that are more designed for urban environments, whereas Joggers have large wheels and are specifically designed to be used off-road. They come with a handbrake and adjustable handlebars, and are ideal for walks off-road.
All-terrain strollers are popular among parents who want to explore the countryside and take advantage of the outdoors. They usually come with larger, more durable wheels than regular pushchairs. They are ideal for terrains that are rough and are generally used from birth, although you might need to purchase car seat adaptors if want to attach a compatible infant carrier.
Some pushchairs appear to be 3-wheelers, but actually have four wheels, with two smaller wheels placed close to each other in front instead of a traditional central pair. This provides manoeuvrability with the stability of a four-wheeler.
Some 3-wheel pushchairs come with a swivelling and lockable front wheel, which makes them even more manoeuvrable. This is especially useful when you have to navigate through rough terrain often, as you can avoid getting stuck or having obstacles to negotiate. Some all-terrain strollers are fitted with foam-filled “never flat” tyres that don't require pumping. This makes them more comfortable and comfortable to use for long walks or for continuous use. It's important to note that these kinds of pushchairs are typically heavier and bigger than other pushchairs which is why it's essential to consider the method you'll use for transporting or storing them when selecting the best model for you.
Weight
Generally speaking 3-wheel pushchairs tend to be heavier and more spacious than standard pushchairs. This is especially true when they are equipped with large rear wheels. It can be difficult to lift a pushchair while it is folded, like when loading it into the boot of a car or when navigating stairs. This may also make the pushchair feel a little heavy when you are out and about, and could limit how quickly you can maneuver through narrow spaces or aisles in shops.
All-terrain pushchairs are built to be able to navigate different terrains, including rough and uneven terrain, mud and gravel paths. These pushchairs typically come with large, puncture-proof tyres as well as a sturdy suspension system that will provide a comfortable ride for your child. They will usually be quite much more expensive than regular pushchairs.
All-terrain pushchairs are an excellent choice for those who reside in the country or take your child on regular walks in the woods or in country parks. These pushchairs typically have large tyres on both the front as well as back, and are designed to handle many different terrains. They are often the best choice for muddy and wet conditions, but we recommend regular inspection of the tyres to avoid flat spots and air bubbles.
The iCandy Core is a great all-terrain stroller which ticks many of the boxes. It has a spacious basket that can carry up to 10kg, a one handed fold and adjustable handlebars. The large tyres are filled with foam and never flat, so you won't need to worry about punctures or losing air pressure. The seat is designed to be world-facing and suitable from birth, and can be used with an infant carrycot or infant carrier.
Another alternative is the Special Tomato Jogger, which has a lightweight design and outstanding maneuverability. It's perfect for parents who enjoy walking or running and comes with a suspension to ensure an enjoyable ride on all terrains. We also appreciate how easy to clean it is, with the fabric simply taking off the frame and washing in cold water.
Tyres
The tyres of a lightest 3 wheel stroller-wheel pushchair will often be larger than those found on a 4-wheeler, which can help to deal with off-road terrain. The UPPAbaby Ridge for instance has tyres with large, foam-filled tyres that don't flatten, as well as a suspension system. This makes it suitable for long-distance walks on rough terrain. It's also designed to be suitable for running when your baby is old enough thanks to a 360 pivoting lockable front wheel and a suspension that can be adjusted.
You should consider the weight of your pushchair before deciding on the model. It is also important to decide if you want wheels that can be removed to make it easier to store in your car boot. MFM reviewer Becky liked this feature because it made navigating around supermarket aisles much easier.
