Three Wheeler Pushchairs
Three wheeler pushchairs can be an ideal choice for parents who love to run or who are in search of strollers that can take on diverse terrains. They're easy to maneuver and fold up neatly for transport or storage.
With just one front wheel that is able to swivel, they're easy to turn in tight spaces, making supermarket corners easy. Pick models with air-filled tires to handle bumpy roads and pavements.
Strollers
There's a huge range of strollers on the market, all made to meet the different needs. Some are made for multiple infants (twins or a smaller age gap) while others are designed for singletons, and the rest are made to fit children up to the age of four years. Certain products have safety guidelines that must be adhered to. For instance the child's seat or cot that is carried must be secured with a secure strap and not be at least 20cm from the frame's edge.
Three wheel pushchairs typically have a single front wheel making them more manoeuvrable than other models. This makes them ideal 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. They're built with tyres made of tough rubber that can take on bumps and rough terrain more easily than standard strollers. Some models even come with suspension to help ensure a more comfortable ride for your toddler or baby.
Some all-terrain buggies are also designed to be used as jogging buggies. This is a great choice for parents who wish to be active and take their children on a brisk stroll or run. These pushchairs come with a bigger frame, tyres and wheels than strollers. They could also come with an adjustable handlebar and a handbrake.
If you're planning to run with your stroller, consider taking a test drive to see how you like the ride and how it's easy to manage. You'll need to decide if you prefer air-filled or foam-filled tyres. Air-filled tyres tend to be more durable, but they are also prone to punctures so you'll need an repair kit on hand.

All-terrain prams are an excellent option if you love exploring off the beaten path or are in rural areas, or want to run with your baby. The top all-terrain strollers feature large, sturdy wheels that can withstand bumpy terrain and excellent suspension to make your child's journey comfortable.
They are typically larger than standard pushchairs and could be heavy to fit into your car boot. They are also more expensive than other pushchairs, so do bear this in mind when looking around.
You should choose models that have an adjustable bar that can be adjusted in height. This will be helpful for those who have different heights. It is also worth considering whether you want a wrist strap that reduces the risk of it rolling off on sloping ground or crossing hills. Some models have a fixed wheel at the front, which is more manageable when you're running. Some models come with an swivel wheel that can be locked to allow you to navigate on uneven surfaces.
The type of tyre is also important. A majority of all-terrain pushchairs are equipped with air-filled tyres, which create a smooth ride but can puncture easily. Some come with an inflated tyre that is filled with gel or foam, which are less prone to puncture, but they will add weight to the pushchair.
A great all-terrain stroller should have a large basket that can be used to carry baby's grocery items. Some will have a handy compact, one-hand fold to make it easier to store it away when not in use. Most often, they include a raincover and a footmuff.

Folding
The majority of pushchairs fold. They are simple to store in your home, and they can easily fit in the trunk of your car. This is ideal when your car's boot is small, or if plan on travelling a lot with your family.
There are many different types of folds, so pick one that is appropriate to your lifestyle and needs. For instance the latest buggy models feature a revolutionary auto-fold system that folds by itself with a simple press of a button. This leaves your hands free to juggle a baby, bags, or other children and is perfect for parents with back problems or recovering from C-sections.
Some models fold more traditionally, with the seat on. This means they are slightly heavier and may not fit as tightly in your boot or vehicle. Some of these will also require a couple of hands to fold, which could be a problem if you need to fold it while being a parent.
Whether you prefer an easy umbrella fold or a more complex mechanism, you should ensure that the stroller you select will be able to deal with the terrain you'll be riding it on. If you're planning to travel many cobblestones and gravel tracks, then air-filled tyres will give you an easier ride.
If you intend to use your pushchair mostly on pavements or paved roads the majority of three-wheelers come with tires that are moulded to give your baby an easy ride. If you plan to take your child off-road, or on rough terrain, you should choose a model with removable mudguards and/or a front wheel with quick-release. This will help your pushchair look its best.
