If you regularly walk through rough terrain, or want to go jogging in a pushchair with three wheels, it's the ideal choice. They are a great option if want a buggy that will be able to handle any terrain, from busy 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 bigger provide the most comfortable riding on different surfaces.
Manoeuvrability
Manoeuvrability is one of the major advantages of a three wheel pushchair. The wheels are close and allow the chassis to turn and turn more easily than a four wheel pushchair. This makes them perfect for busy streets and shops. Some have small front wheels that can be locked and swivelled to give them extra maneuverability. The Roma Atlas has two wheels at the front that are placed close together, and a smart lock that allows it to be as stable as a three-wheeler, while maintaining the same maneuverability.
A lot of our most well-loved 3 wheelers are able to be converted from stroller, pram, car seat, and toddler seat as your child grows. This is a great option when you're planning to travel as a family or for frequent shopping trips. The Baby Jogger Nipper is a great illustration. It has Hauck airwheels XL and a 360-degree lockable swivel wheel, and a suspension that lets it be used on any terrain.

Stability
You can increase the stability of your buggy by searching for certain features. Some designs have a swiveling front wheel that can be locked to provide additional stability when driving when riding on rough terrain. This is especially helpful when you intend to use your pushchair for jogging or off-road. It will give you confidence to navigate on different surfaces.
Suspension is a great feature for stability. It can make your buggy more comfortable ride, for both your child and you, particularly on uneven terrain. Some brands allow you to alter the tyres of their pushchairs so that they can be adapted to the terrain you'll be using it on.
