A three-wheeled buggy is ideal for those who regularly walk on rough terrain or run. They are the best choice if you need a buggy to handle any terrain from busy streets to forest tracks.
Find models with front wheels that can be locked or swivelled. This will allow you more flexibility. Front and rear wheels that are bigger provide the most comfortable ride on various surfaces.
Manoeuvrability
A 3 wheel pushchair is a fantastic choice for those who want to be able to move easily. The wheels are positioned close and allow the chassis to turn and turn more easily than a 4 wheel pushchair. This makes them perfect for busy streets and shops. Some have small front wheels that can be locked and swivelled for additional maneuverability. The Roma Atlas, for example is equipped with two wheels that are positioned close to each other at the front, and an innovative swivel lock that gives it all the maneuverability of a 3-wheeler, but with added stability.
A lot of our most well-loved 3 wheelers can be converted from pram, stroller or car-seat and toddler seats as your child grows. This is great if you're planning on travelling as a family or for frequent shopping trips. One such example is the Baby Jogger Nipper pushchair that comes with Hauck's XL air wheels, a 360 swivel front wheel that can be locked and a suspension system that makes it suitable for all terrains, including off-road and jogging when your child is old enough to join in with you!
The ickle Bubba Nipper is another alternative.

It is essential to select the correct wheels for your pushchair based on the location it is most likely to be used. Moulded wheels are ideal for the city, but not on more rough terrain.

Stability
You can improve the stability of your buggy by searching for specific features. For instance, certain models have a swivelling front wheel that can be locked in place for extra stability on rough terrain. This is particularly helpful if you are going to be using your pushchair off-road or for running as it gives you the confidence to go any surface with ease.
Another great stability feature is suspension. This can make your buggy far more comfortable for both the baby and you, especially on uneven ground. Some brands allow you to change the tyres on their pushchairs so that they can be adapted to the terrain you will be using it on.

Weight
