If you often walk across rough terrain, or wish to exercise, a three-wheel pushchair is the perfect choice. They are ideal if you want a buggy that will handle all types of terrain, from busy streets to tracks in the woods.

For more manoeuvrability, look for a design with locking or swivelling front wheels. Front and rear wheels that are larger offer a more comfortable riding on different surfaces.

Manoeuvrability

Manoeuvrability is one of the key benefits of a 3 wheel pushchair with car seat wheel pushchair. The wheels are close together which allows the chassis to turn and turn more easily than a 4 wheel pushchair. This makes them suitable for busy streets and shops. 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 a clever swivel lock that gives it all the maneuverability of a 3-wheeler, but with added stability.
