The Benefits and Drawbacks of a 3 Wheeled Pushchair
If you regularly walk through rough terrain or would like to run, a three-wheel pushchair is the perfect choice. They are the best option for those who need an automobile that can handle any terrain from busy roads to forest tracks.
Look for designs with front wheels that can be locked or swivelled. This will give you more flexibility. Larger wheels on the front and back also offer a more comfortable ride over varying surfaces.
Manoeuvrability
Manoeuvrability is among the main advantages of a 3 wheel pushchair. The wheels are placed close to each other, allowing the chassis to turn and twist much more easily than a traditional 4 wheel pushchair, making them ideal for busy streets and shopping. Some have small front wheels that are locked and swivelled for additional maneuverability. The Roma Atlas, for example has two wheels placed closely together at the front and an ingenious lock that can swivel to give the ability to maneuver like three wheels, with added stability.

It is essential to select the correct wheels for your pushchair based on where it will be used most. Moulded wheels are ideal for the city but not on more rough terrain. If you're planning to take your pushchair off of pavements, opt for air-filled tyres which are sometimes referred to as pneumatic tyres that are capable of coping with rough terrain.

Stability
There are a number of options to look out for that will enhance the stability of your buggy. Certain models have an swiveling front wheel that is locked in place to provide additional stability when driving when riding on rough terrain.

Another excellent stability feature is suspension - this can make your buggy far more comfortable to ride in for both you and baby especially on uneven terrain. Some brands even offer the option to swap out tyres of different brands so that you can tailor the performance of your pushchair to suit the type of terrain you'll be taking it on.

Weight
The disadvantage of 3-wheeled pushchairs is that they can be heavy, particularly when traversing bumpy terrain and kerbs. The bigger rear wheels on a 3-wheeler contribute to a heavier overall weight than 4 wheelers which means that you'll require more strength to lift them, especially when folding.
