Why Everyone Is Talking About Three Wheeler Pushchairs Right Now
Three Wheeler Pushchairs
Three wheeler pushchairs can be an ideal choice for parents who love to jog, or those looking for a stroller which can handle diverse terrains. They are easy to move and fold easily to be stored or transported.
With just one front wheel that is able to swivel, they're easy to turn in tight spaces and make supermarket corners effortless. Pick models with air-filled tires to handle rough roads and uneven pavements.
Strollers
There's a vast selection of strollers available that are designed to meet the needs of different people. Some strollers are designed to accommodate multiple infants (twins, or children with a tiny age difference), while others are for singletons. The rest are designed to fit babies from birth until age four. Certain products have safety guidelines that must be adhered to. For example, any child seat or carrying cot must be secured securely and not be further than 20cm away from the frame's edge.
Three wheel pushchairs tend to have a single wheel on the front, making them more maneuverable than other models. This makes them perfect for narrow aisles and streets in stores where space is limited. Consider an all-terrain stroller when you intend to use it in different environments. With tyres that are tough they can take on bumps and rough terrain more quickly than the regular stroller. Some models even come with suspension to to make the ride more comfortable for your baby or toddler.
Some all-terrain strollers are built to be jogging buggies as well. This is a great option for parents who want to stay active and take a quick stroll or run with their child. These pushchairs typically come with larger frames and tyres than a regular stroller, plus they may come with features like an adjustable handlebar or handbrake.
It's worth taking your stroller for an initial test ride to see how it handles and how easily it can be controlled. You'll also need to decide what kind of tyres you prefer in terms of filled with air or foam. Air-filled tyres tend to be more durable but are prone to punctures, so you'll need to have an repair kit on hand.
For a stylish and versatile option, look at the latest 3-wheel pushchairs from iCandy. They come with amazing all-terrain features, including a suspension system that is large enough to withstand puncture-proof tyres as well as an adjustable handlebar to suit both mums and dads. They also comply with the EU REACH regulations and low in phthalates, lead and other chemicals.
Joggers
If you are a buggy jogger or a buggy runner then you'll require a three-wheeler stroller that is designed specifically for running. These pushchairs have larger wheels than standard strollers and a suspension that is specially designed to cope with bumps and uneven sidewalks. They're also typically larger and heavier, making them less suitable for daily use unless you intend to take a stroll or go for an occasional run.
The Mountain Buggy Terrain is one of the top 3-wheel joggers on the market. It is a perfect blend of control and precision control to get active with stylish styling and great maneuverability in the city. It's the ideal vehicle for the parent who is a avid runner, but also is looking to keep their child close and comfortable during long walks or running errands.
There are also other good Joggers that are suitable for daily strolling, such as the UPPAbaby Ridge Stroller Jake and the Baby Jogger City Elite 2 Stroller Jet. They have air-filled tires which offer a smooth ride, but are prone punctures. You'll need a spare. Some have adjustable or heavy-duty suspension to make the ride smoother over rough ground.
Depending on the age of your child, you may be able to make the transition from using a carrycot or infant car seat into one of these jogging strollers without much trouble. However, it's best to check with your pediatrician first, especially when they advise waiting until your child is at least six months old.
Another option is to buy the jogger and then put on a compatible car seat adapter. The phil&teds Sport buggy, for instance can be transformed into a two-in-one system that includes an infant seat so that you can take your baby on walks or runs from the beginning of their life.
The Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 3-wheeler is a stylish and practical 3-wheeler that can be used for strolling or jog lightly. It's a great option for parents who are active and fashionable, and it can accommodate a car seat from birth (with the optional City infant car seat adapter). 3 wheel pushchair has 3 recline positions and air-filled tires, so your child can enjoy an enjoyable ride. It also folds up quickly.
All-terrain
All-terrain prams are an excellent choice if you enjoy exploring off the beaten path or are in rural areas, or wish to run with your child. The best all-terrain pushchairs will come with large, robust wheels that can cope with bumpy ground and great suspension to make your journey comfortable for your baby.
They are generally larger than standard pushchairs and may be difficult to fit into the trunk of your car. They also tend to be more expensive than other pushchairs, so do bear this in mind when shopping around.
You should choose one that has adjustable height bars. This is helpful for those who have different heights. Also, consider whether you'd like a wrist strap that reduces the risk of it rolling off on sloping ground or going over hills. Some models have a fixed wheel on the front, making it more manageable when you are jogging. Some models have an swivel wheel that can be locked into place to allow you to maneuver on uneven surfaces.
The type of tyre used is crucial. Many all-terrain strollers use air-filled tires that provide an easy ride, but can puncture. Some come with a foam or gel-filled tyre, which are less prone to puncture, but they will add weight to the pushchair.
A high-quality all-terrain pushchair will have an adequate-sized basket which will be handy for carrying your baby's shopping. Some models have a compact, one-handed fold, which makes it easy to store when not in use. It is common to find raincovers and footmuffs included as well.
One of our top all-terrain pushchairs is the Mamas & Papas Ocarro, which was awarded the Mother and Baby Gold Award for 2017. Dual suspension allows you to take your child on all-terrain strolls and even jog with it once your child is old. It is suitable from birth and includes a fully reclined seat and can be used as a travel system that includes an infant car seat or carrycot attached.
Folding
A few of the most popular pushchairs fold. They are easy to store at home, and can easily be inserted into the trunk of your car. This is ideal for cars with boot spaces that are small, or if you plan on travelling a lot with your family.
There are several different fold styles, so you need to look for one that suits your lifestyle and requirements. The latest models of buggy feature an auto-fold, which can be folded in a matter of one button. This leaves your hands free to carry a baby bags or other children, and is perfect for parents suffering from back pain or recovering from C-sections.
Other models are designed to fold more traditionally and with the seat in place, which means they'll be a little bulkier and may not fit as snugly in your car boot. Some of these will also require more than one hand to fold, which could be a problem when you want to do it whilst being a parent.
It is crucial to make sure that the pushchair will be suitable for the terrain on which you plan to use it. For example, if you're going to be on many cobblestones or gravel tracks then make sure the wheels are made of air-filled tyres for an easier ride for your little one.
If you'll use your pushchair mostly on paved roads and pavements the majority of three-wheelers have moulded wheels that give your child a smooth ride. If you're planning to transport your child off-road or on rough terrain, select one with removable mudguards and/or an front wheel that has quick-release. This will help your pushchair look its best.
