Three Wheeler Pushchairs
If you're a parent who enjoys jogging or searching for a stroller that can be able to handle a variety terrains, three wheeler pushchairs are a good choice. They're simple to maneuver and fold easily for storage or transport.
With just one front wheel that can swivel easily, they're able to turn in tight spaces and make grocery corners easy. Look for models with air-filled tyres that can take on tracks and bumpy pavements.
Strollers
There's a huge range of strollers available, all designed to meet different needs. Some strollers are designed to accommodate multiple babies (twins, or children with a tiny age difference) and others are designed for singletons. The rest are designed to accommodate children from birth to age four. Some of these products have safety guidelines that must be adhered to. For instance, any child seat or cot for carrying must be secured properly and should not extend more than 20cm from the frame's edge.
Three-wheel pushchairs are easier to maneuver because they only have one front wheel. This makes them perfect for narrow aisles or streets in shops where space is at a premium. Think about an all-terrain stroller if you plan to use it in different settings. Built with tough tyres that can withstand rough terrain and bumps much more quickly than the standard stroller. Some models have suspensions to make the ride more comfortable for your baby or toddler.
Some all-terrain strollers are made to be jogging buggies as well. This is an excellent option for parents who wish to exercise and take their children for a walk or jog. These pushchairs usually have a larger frame and tyres than a standard stroller, and they can include features such as a handbrake or adjustable handlebar.
It's worth taking your stroller out for a test ride to see how it performs and how easily it can be controlled. You'll also need to decide what kind of tyres you prefer, whether they're foam-filled or air-filled. Air-filled tyres are more durable, but they are also more susceptible to punctures. You'll need a repair kit to carry around with you.
If you are looking for a stylish and versatile option, take a look at the new 3-wheel pushchairs from iCandy. They come with amazing all-terrain features such as suspension that is large enough to withstand puncture-proof tyres as well as an adjustable handlebar that is suitable for both mums and dads. They also comply with the REACH regulations of the EU, which means they are low in lead and phthalates.
Joggers
If you are a buggy jogger or a buggy runner then you'll require a three-wheeler stroller designed specifically for jogging. These pushchairs come with larger wheels and a suspension system that can take on bumps and uneven sidewalks. They're also typically heavier and bulkier, which makes them less suitable for daily use unless you intend to go on an occasional run.
The Mountain Buggy Terrain jogger is one of the most sought-after 3-wheelers on the market. It offers maximum control and precise steering to keep you active, with elegant styling and superb maneuverability in urban areas. It's the ideal solution for parents who are runners but want to keep their child close and comfortable on long walks or for run-of-the-mills.
Other good joggers can be used for strolling around the city, like the UPPAbaby Ridge Stroller Jake or the Baby Jogger Jet City Elite 2. These are tyres with air-filled tires which provide a smooth ride, but they are prone to punctures, so you'll need to have a spare. Some models also have a suspension that is adjustable or heavy-duty to make the ride smoother over rough ground.
Based on the age of your child, you might be able to make the transition from a carrycot or infant car seat into one of these jogging strollers without much trouble. However, it's recommended to consult your pediatrician first, particularly if they recommend waiting until your child is at minimum six months old.
Another option is to buy a jogger and then add on a compatible car seat adapter. The phil&teds Sport buggy, for instance, can be converted into a 2-in-1 unit with an infant seat so that you can take your child on walks or runs from the beginning of their life.
The Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 3-wheeler is a fashionable and practical 3-wheeler that can be used to stroll or jog lightly. It's a great option for parents who are active and trendy, and it can accommodate carseats from birth (with the optional City infant car seat adapter). It has 3 recline positions and air-filled tires, which means your child can enjoy a comfortable journey. It also folds up quickly.
All-terrain
If you enjoy walking off the beaten path or live in a rural area or want to go jogging with your baby, an all-terrain pushchair may be a good choice for you. The best all-terrain pushchairs will have big, rugged wheels that can withstand bumpy ground and great suspension to make the journey more comfortable for your baby.
These are usually larger than standard pushchairs, and may be difficult to fit into the trunk of your car. These pushchairs are also more expensive than other pushchairs. Be aware of this as you shop for a new one.
Find a model that has adjustable height handlebars that can be used if you and your partner are of different heights. You should also consider whether you want a wrist strap, which reduces the possibility of it slipping across the ground on sloping surfaces or slipping over hills. Some models are designed to have an incline front wheel fixed, which is easier to control if intend to use it for jogging. Some models come with an swivel wheel that can be locked to make it easier to move over uneven surfaces.
The type of tyre is crucial. A lot of all-terrain strollers have air-filled tires, which provide an enjoyable ride, but can puncture. Some pushchairs come with the gel- or foam-filled tire, which is less likely to puncture. However, it will increase the weight of the pushchair.
A high-quality pushchair for all-terrain use will come with a decent sized basket, which is ideal for carrying your baby's shopping. Some have a compact, single-handed fold that makes it easy to store when not in use. They will often have raincovers and footmuffs included too.
One of our favorite all-terrain pushchairs is the Mamas & Papas Ocarro, which won the Mother and Baby Gold Award for 2017. Dual suspension allows you to take your baby on all-terrain strolls and even run with it when your child reaches the age of. It is suitable for babies from birth. It features a fully reclined seat and can be used as a travel system with an infant car seat or carrycot.
Folding
Some of the most common pushchairs fold. 3 wheeler pushchair take up less space in your home and are more convenient to put in the boot of your car and are ideal when you're in a tight space, have a small car boot or are planning to travel a lot as a family.
There are many different fold types, so look for one that fits your lifestyle and preferences. For instance the latest buggy models have a groundbreaking auto-fold system that folds at the simple push of a button. This allows you to juggle a baby, bags or other children, and is ideal for parents with back problems or recovering from C-sections.
Other models are designed to fold more traditionally, with the seat still on, which means they'll be a little bulkier and won't fit as well in your boot or car. Some models will require two hands or more to fold. This could pose a problem for parents who want to hold their child while folding.
It is essential to ensure whether the pushchair is able handle the terrain on which you intend to use it. If you're planning on navigating lots of cobblestones or gravel tracks, then tyres with air will give you more comfort.
If you plan to use your pushchair mostly on pavements or paved roads, then most three-wheelers will have tires that are molded to provide your child with a comfortable ride. If you're taking your child off-road or on dirt opt for a model with a set of removable mudguards and/or a quick-release front wheel that will help keep your pushchair looking its best.
