Three Wheeler Pushchairs
Whether you're an active parent who enjoys jogging or are looking for a stroller which can handle a variety of types of terrain, three wheeler pushchairs are a great option. They are easy to move around and fold up neatly to be stored or transported.
With a front wheel that can rotate, they're easy to turn in tight spaces, making supermarket corners effortless. Look for models that have air-filled tyres to overcome bumpy tracks and pavements.
Strollers
There's a huge range of strollers available that are made to meet the different needs. Some strollers are designed to accommodate multiple infants (twins, or children with a slight age difference) and others are specifically designed for singletons. The others are designed to fit babies from birth until age four. Certain products have safety guidelines which must be adhered to. For instance, any child seat or cot for carrying must be secured properly and cannot be more than 20cm from the frame's edge.
Three wheel pushchairs typically have a single wheel on the front, making them more maneuverable than other models. This makes them perfect for narrow streets and aisles in stores where space is limited. If you're planning to use your stroller in a variety of different environments, consider an all-terrain pushchair. Built with tough tyres, they can tackle rough terrain and bumps much more easily than a regular stroller. Some even have suspension to make the ride more comfortable 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 want to be active and take their children on a brisk stroll or jog. These pushchairs have a larger frame, tyres and wheels than strollers. They can also have a handbrake and adjustable handlebar.

You'll also have to decide what kind of tyres you prefer, whether they're filled with air or foam. Air-filled tyres tend to be more durable, but they're also susceptible to punctures so you'll need to have an emergency repair kit.

Joggers
If you're a jogger (or buggy runner) or want to be a jogger, you'll require a pushchair with three wheels that is specifically designed for running. These pushchairs come with larger wheels and a suspension system that can deal with bumps and uneven sidewalks. These are also more heavy and bulkier than traditional strollers, which makes them unsuitable for everyday use unless you plan to take a short run.
The Mountain Buggy Terrain jogger is one of the most popular 3-wheelers on the market. It is a perfect blend of control and precise steering for getting active with stylish styling and great maneuverability in the city. It's the perfect solution for parents who are runners but want to keep their child at a comfortable distance on long walks or for running errands.
There are also other excellent Joggers that are suitable for everyday strolling, including the UPPAbaby Ridge Stroller Jake and the Baby Jogger City Elite 2 Stroller Jet. These have air-filled tyres which provide a smooth ride, but are susceptible to punctures, so you'll need to have a spare. Some have a suspension that is adjustable or heavy-duty to make the ride even more comfortable on rough terrain.
Depending on the age of your child, you might be able to make the transition from a carrycot or infant car seat to one of these strollers without a lot of difficulty. It is best to consult with your pediatrician prior to purchasing a jogging stroller especially if your doctor recommends waiting until your child is 6 months old.
Another option is to buy an jogger, and then put on a compatible car seat adapter. For example, the phil&teds Sport buggy can be converted into a 2-in-1 travel set with an infant car seat so you can take baby on runs or walks from day 1.
The Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 3-wheeler is stylish and practical 3-wheeler that can be used to stroll or jog light. It's ideal for parents who want to be active and trendy. The City infant car seat can be used from birth using the adapter that is available. It has three recline positions, as well as air-filled tires, so your child can have an enjoyable journey. It folds up quickly.
All-terrain
If you love to wander off the beaten path or live in a rural area or want to go jogging with your child, an all-terrain pushchair may be the best option for you. The best all-terrain pushchairs will have big, rugged wheels that can withstand bumpy ground and great suspension to make your journey comfortable for your child.
They're usually bigger than standard pushchairs, and can be difficult to store in the boot of your car. These pushchairs are also more expensive than other pushchairs. Be aware of this when you are shopping for a new one.
Choose a model that features a handlebar that can be adjusted in height that can be used if you and your partner have different heights. Also, consider whether you'd like a wrist strap that reduces the chance of it rolling across the ground on sloping surfaces or slipping over hills. Some models have a fixed wheel on the front, making it easier to control when you're running. Others have a swivel front wheel that can be locked in place to allow you to maneuver on uneven surfaces.
The type of tire is equally important. Many all-terrain pushchairs use air-filled tyres. They provide smooth rides but could puncture easily. Some pushchairs come with a foam- or gel-filled tire, which is less likely to puncture. However, it can add weight to the pushchair.
A high-quality pushchair that is all-terrain will have a decent sized basket, which is ideal to carry your baby's shopping. Some will have a handy, compact fold that can be folded in one hand to help you put it away when not being used. It is common to find an umbrella and a footmuff as well.
One of our top all-terrain pushchairs is the Mamas & Papas Ocarro, which was awarded the Mother and Baby Gold Award for 2017. The dual suspension is able to handle rough terrain and will allow you to take your baby on all-terrain walks and even go jogging with it (once your child is old enough). It is suitable for babies from birth. It has a fully-reclining seat, and can be used in conjunction with an infant car or carrycot.
Folding
Many of the most well-known pushchairs fold. They are easy to store at home, and they can easily be inserted into the boot of your vehicle. This is perfect if your car boot is small or if you are planning to travel a lot with your family.
There are many different types of folds. So, pick one that best suits your lifestyle and preferences. For instance some of the most recent buggy models have a groundbreaking auto-fold system that folds by itself with a simple press of a button. This lets you hold your baby or other children, or even bags with both hands. It is also ideal for parents who suffer from back issues or are recovering from C-sections.
Some models fold more conventionally with the seat in place. This means that they are a bit bulkier and might not fit as tightly in your car or boot. Certain models require two hands or more to fold. This could be a problem for parents who want to hold their child while folding.
It is essential to ensure that the stroller is suitable for the terrain you plan to use it. If you're planning on navigating lots of cobblestones or gravel tracks, then tyres that are filled with air will give you a more comfortable ride.
If you'll be using your pushchair mostly on roads that are paved and pavements then most three-wheelers have moulded wheels which will give your baby an enjoyable ride. However, if you'll be taking your little one off-road or on rough ground, go for an option that comes with a set of movable or quick-release front wheel to keep your pushchair looking its best.
