3 Wheel Pushchairs
Three wheel pushchairs are perfect for anyone who is a jogger or needs a more flexible stroller. Three-wheel prams, which have air-filled tires instead of the big wheels commonly used on jogging buggies that are designed for paved roads, can be used to navigate woodland trails and cobbled streets.
The large wheels, however, can make some models heavy and bulky therefore make sure that it folds up compactly and won't take up all the space in your boot.
Stability
Parents are often frightened by stories about three-wheel pushchairs falling over. But this is usually due to poor or poorly-constructed models. When choosing a 3-wheeler, it is important to check how stable the buggy is by testing it out in the person. It is also important to take into consideration how quickly you can change directions with the front wheel and how easily it can be done.
If you plan to use your pushchair on rough terrain, choose a model that has air-filled tires (also called pneumatic tyres). They can handle the bumps and lumps that come with gravel tracks or muddy paths. These tyres can handle the bumps and sloughs of muddy trails or gravel tracks much better than plastic wheels that have been moulded and give your child a comfortable ride. Some models come with the option of locking the front wheel, which can be used when you're going over really rough ground too.
All-terrain pushchairs can be bulkier than standard buggies on four wheels which is why you'll need to think about the amount of space they'll occupy in your car's boot, and if you'll be able to lift it up and down stairs when folded. They can also be heavy to lift, so it's worth trying the one on your own to determine how much effort you'll need to exert to lift the buggy off the ground.
UPPAbaby's Ridge is an example of a three-wheel pram that is stable, maneuverable and suitable for off-roading with the car seat attachment.

Its large rear wheels are filled with foam and tyres with a 'never flat' design that allow it to navigate on rough terrain, while its smooth suspension and adjustable handlebar provide a comfortable ride for your toddler or baby.
Manoeuvrability
Three-wheeled strollers are easier to maneuver and turn than four-wheeled strollers as they have two wheels in the back and one wheel in the front. They are ideal for narrow city streets or manoeuvring through the aisles of crowded supermarkets. Many 3-wheeled pushchairs also offer an option to lock the front wheel to improve their ability to tackle narrow spaces and corners.
