The Benefits and Drawbacks of a 3 Wheeled Pushchair

A three-wheeled buggy is ideal for those who walk a lot on uneven terrain or jog. They are great if you require a vehicle that can be able to handle any terrain, from busy high streets to tracks in the woods.

Look for designs with front wheels that can be locked or swivelled. This will allow you more flexibility. Larger wheels, both front and back offer a more comfortable ride over different surfaces.

Manoeuvrability

Manoeuvrability is among the key benefits of a 3 wheel pushchair. The wheels are positioned close 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 small pair of front wheels that can be locked and swivelled for extra manoeuvrability when needed. The Roma Atlas, for example has two wheels placed close to each other at the front, and an innovative lock that can swivel to give it all the maneuverability of three wheels, with added stability.
