The larger front wheels on these buggies allow them to be more maneuverable and provide more stability when walking on rough terrain.

If you plan to drive your buggy off of paved tracks, pick a model that is air-filled tyres (sometimes called pneumatic). They are more effective and puncture-proof even on non-paved surfaces.

Stability

In general, the larger the wheels on your pushchair, the better it will be able to handle rough ground and terrain. It's because larger wheels are more likely to skid' on bumps and dips. They also provide a more comfortable ride for your child. The downside is that the additional wheels can take up space in your car boot, and some models with big front wheels may require to remove them when you wish to put it away flat.

All-terrain pushchairs are designed to handle anything from busy high street strolls to woodland walks, and come equipped with features that let them accomplish this, including robust suspension and large puncture-proof tyres. They tend to be more expensive than other models, however when you frequently use your pushchair away from the main track, they might be worth the extra investment.

If you plan to use your pushchair on roads, it's worth opting for a pushchair with air-filled tyres (sometimes called pneumatic tyres) as these are much better suited to rough terrain than tyres made of solid rubber. These tyres are also less likely to break than those made of steel or hard plastic.

Some models of pushchair allow you to turn off the front wheel when not in use, making them easier to store - useful for those with a small car boot. Certain models also come with the front wheel that swivels and can be locked to add stability on very rough terrain. It's important to know how easy it is for you to use a pushchair equipped with this feature prior to purchasing.

It is crucial to think about how easy it will be it to add an additional seat or parent-facing pushchair to your. This is especially important if you have a baby with you. Some models are designed for rapid and simple configuration changes, while others require more patience.

Manoeuvrability

A lightweight 3 wheel stroller-wheel pushchair is often easier to steer and handle than a four-wheeler, with the single front wheel making it easy to maneuver over bumps or rough terrain. A lot of models have suspension systems that help to absorb the shocks and give your child a smooth ride. MFM's Kath tried a tri-wheeled buggie and was impressed by its ability to handle uneven pavements, cobblestones and dirt tracks. She found it easy to go up and down kerbs and the wheels were quick to maneuver over grass too.

There are three main types of 3 wheel pushchair such as joggers, strollers and all-terrain models. Strollers have smaller wheels and narrower frames that are better for urban environments, whereas joggers are equipped with large wheels and are specifically designed to be used off-road. They are equipped with a handbrake and adjustable handlebars and are perfect for walks off-road.

All-terrain strollers are popular with parents who want to explore the countryside and enjoy the outdoors. They usually have wheels that are larger and more durable than standard pushchairs. They are ideal for rocky terrain and can be used as early as the moment of birth. However, you might require car seat adaptors to connect an infant carrier.

Some pushchairs appear to be 3-wheelers, but actually come with four wheels, with two small wheels positioned close together in front instead of the traditional central pair. This allows for the manoeuvrability of a three-wheeler, but the stability and safety of a four-wheeler.

Some 3 wheeler stroller-wheeled pushchairs have an adjustable and lockable front wheel, making them more maneuverable. This is especially useful when you have to navigate through rough terrain often, as you can avoid getting stuck or having obstacles to navigate around. Some all-terrain pushchairs are also equipped with foam-filled 'never flat' tyres that don't need pumping up, so they're more comfortable and convenient for long walks or regular use. It's important to note that these types of pushchairs tend to be heavier and bigger than other pushchairs which is why it's essential to think about how you'll be transporting or storing them when deciding on your preferred model.

Weight

In general 3 wheel running stroller-wheeled pushchairs tend to be heavier and larger than normal pushchairs. This is particularly true when they feature large back wheels. This can make it difficult to lift the pushchair when folded, such as when loading into a car boot or navigating stairs. This can make the pushchair feel heavy and hinder your ability to maneuver through narrow spaces or aisles.

All-terrain pushchairs are made to handle a range of different terrains, such as rough and uneven ground, mud and gravel paths. These pushchairs typically come with large, puncture-proof tyres and an extremely sturdy suspension system to provide an enjoyable ride for your child. They are usually much more expensive than standard pushchairs.

All-terrain pushchairs are a great choice for those who reside in the country or take your baby for regular walks in woods or in country parks. These pushchairs are made to handle different terrains and will have large tyres on both the front and rear. They are a good option for wet or muddy weather however we suggest checking your tyres frequently to avoid air bubbles and flat spots.

The iCandy Core is a great all-terrain stroller that ticks off a lot of the boxes. It has a generous basket that can carry up to 10kg, a one handed fold and adjustable handlebars. The large tyres are filled with foam tyres that will never flat. You don't have to worry about punctures. The seat is designed to be world-facing and suitable for babies from birth, and can be used with the carrycot or an infant carrier.

The Special Tomato Jogger is another alternative. It's a light and extremely maneuverable design. It's perfect for parents who love walking or running and comes with suspension that ensures the user a comfortable ride across all terrains. The fabric can be removed from the frame, and then washed with cold water using a machine.

Tyres

A 3-wheel pushchair's tyres will typically be bigger than those found on a 4-wheel pram, which can help to handle off-road terrain. The UPPAbaby Ridge for instance, has large foam-filled tyres that will never flatten and a suspension system. This makes it perfect for long-distance walks on rough terrain. It's also designed to be suitable to run once your child is old enough. This is due to a 360-degree lockable front wheel, and an adjustable suspension.

You should consider the weight of your pushchair when deciding on the model. You'll also need to consider whether you want an infant stroller with wheels that are removable for easier storage in your car boot. MFM reviewer Becky particularly enjoyed this feature as it made maneuvering around the corners of supermarkets much easier.
