Three Wheeler Pushchairs
Three wheeler pushchairs can be a great choice for active parents who love to jog or who are in search of strollers that can withstand various terrains. They're easy to maneuver and fold neatly to be stored or transported.
With a front wheel that is able to swivel easily, they're able to turn in tight spaces, making supermarket corners effortless. Choose models with air-filled tires to handle rough roads and pavements.
Strollers
There are many different strollers available, each designed to meet the needs of a particular group of people. Some are designed for multiple babies (twins or with a tiny age gap) and others are suitable for singletons, and the rest are made to fit children up to the age of four years. Some of these products have safety guidelines which must be followed. For instance the child's seat or cot that is carried must be secured securely and should not extend more than 20cm from the frame's edge.
Three-wheel pushchairs are easier to maneuver since they have just one front wheel. This makes them ideal for navigating narrow streets or aisles in stores where space is scarce. If you plan to use your stroller in a variety of different environments, consider an all-terrain pushchair. They're designed with tough tyres that are able to take on bumps and rough terrain more easily than normal strollers. Some models have suspensions to help ensure a more comfortable ride for your toddler or baby.
Some all-terrain strollers are made to be jogging buggies well. This is a great option for parents who wish to exercise and take their child along for a walk or jog. These pushchairs are larger in frame, tyres and wheels than strollers. They may also come with an adjustable handlebar and handbrake.
If you're planning to run with your stroller, you should consider having a test drive in order to see how you find the experience and how it's easy to control. You'll need to decide whether you prefer foam-filled or air-filled tyres. Air-filled tyres are more durable however they are more prone to punctures. You'll require a repair kit to carry around with you.

Joggers
If you're a buggy runner or jogger, you'll need a 3-wheeler stroller designed specifically for jogging. These have larger wheels than traditional strollers, and a suspension designed specifically to handle bumps and uneven sidewalks. They're also usually heavier and bulkier, making them less suitable for everyday use, unless you plan to take a stroll or go for an occasional run.

All-terrain
All-terrain strollers are a great choice if you enjoy exploring off the beaten path, live in rural areas, or wish to run with your child. The best all-terrain prams will have big, rugged wheels that can handle bumpy terrain and a great suspension to make the journey more comfortable for your baby.
They are generally larger than standard pushchairs, and can be difficult to store in the trunk of your car. They are also more expensive than other pushchairs. Keep this in mind as you shop for a new one.
Choose a model that features a height-adjustable handlebar, which will help if you and your partner are different heights. You should consider whether you need a wrist strap to stop it from rolling off on slopes or hills. Some models are designed with an incline front wheel fixed, which will be easier to control if you intend to use it for jogging. Some models have a swivel front wheel that can be locked in place to allow you to maneuver on uneven surfaces.
The type of tyre used is equally important. Many all-terrain strollers use air-filled tires, which provide a smooth ride, but are also prone to puncturing. Some models have a foam or gel-filled tyre that are less likely to puncture but will add weight to the pushchair.
A good all-terrain stroller will come with a large basket that is ideal to carry your baby's food. Some models have a compact, single-handed fold that makes it easy to store when not in use. They will often have raincovers and footmuffs included as well.

Folding
Some of the most popular pushchairs fold. They are smaller in your home and are also easier to put into the boot of your car and are ideal when you're in a tight space or have a small car boot or are planning on traveling a lot as a family.
There are a variety of folds, so choose one that fits your lifestyle and needs. The latest models of buggy feature an auto-fold, which can be folded in a matter of one button. This allows you to hold your baby or other children, or even bags using both hands. It's also great for parents who have back problems or are recovering from C-sections.
Some models fold more traditionally, with the seat in place. This means they are more bulky and may not fit as snugly in your vehicle's boot. Some of these will also require two or more hands to fold, which could be a problem when you are being held by your child.
It's important to check whether the pushchair is suitable for the terrain you intend to use it. For example, if you're going to be on many cobblestones or gravel tracks, then ensure that the wheels are made from air-filled tyres that will provide an easier ride for your little one.
If you plan to use your pushchair primarily on pavements or paved roads and roads, then the majority of three-wheelers come with tires that are moulded to give your baby an easy ride. If you plan to transport your child off-road or on rough terrain, choose a model with removable mudguards and/or a front wheel with quick-release. This will make your pushing kit look its best.
