The Benefits and Drawbacks of a 3 Wheeled Pushchair

If you often walk across rough terrain, or wish to run in a pushchair with three wheels, it's the perfect choice. They are the best option to use if you require a pushchair that can tackle any terrain from busy streets to forest tracks.

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

Manoeuvrability

A 3 wheel double stroller-wheel pushchair is a fantastic option for those who wish to be able to move easily. The wheels are placed close to each other, allowing the chassis to rotate and turn more easily than a traditional four wheel pushchair. This makes them perfect for busy streets and shops. Some models even have a pair of front wheels that can be locked and swivelled to provide extra manoeuvrability when needed. The Roma Atlas has two wheels at the front that are positioned close together and a smart lock that allows it to be as stable as a three-wheeler while still having the same maneuverability.

Many of our most popular 3 wheelers are able to be converted from stroller, pram, car-seat and toddler seats as your child develops.
