The Benefits and Drawbacks of a 3 Wheeled Pushchair

A three-wheeled buggy is ideal for those who regularly walk on rough terrain or run. These are the best for those who need a pushchair that can tackle any terrain, from busy roads to forest tracks.

For greater maneuverability, opt for a design with swivelling or lockable front wheels. Larger wheels on the front and back offer an easier ride on various terrains.

Manoeuvrability

Manoeuvrability is one of the key benefits of a 3 wheel pushchair. The wheels are close together and allow the chassis to turn and turn more easily than a four wheel pushchair. This makes them ideal for busy streets and shops. Some models even have a pair of front wheels that can be locked and swivelled to provide additional maneuverability when required. The Roma Atlas has two wheels at the front, which are set close together and a clever lock that allows it to be as solid as a 3-wheeler while still allowing for the same maneuverability.
