3 Wheel Pushchairs
Three wheel pushchairs are ideal for anyone who is a jogger or would like a more versatile stroller. Three-wheel prams, which have air-filled tires instead of the massive wheels that are often used on jogging buggies made for roads that are paved, can be used to navigate through woodland trails or cobbled streets.
Some models can be heavy and bulky due to their huge wheels. Make sure they fold compactly and don't occupy the entire space in your boot.
Stability
Many parents are put off three-wheel pushchairs due to stories of them falling over, however, this is usually due to cheap or poorly designed models. It is important to test the stability of a 3-wheeler by physically trying it out. You should also look at how it is simple to shift direction or swerve using the single front wheel, and how quickly it is possible to do it.
If you are planning to use your pushchair on uneven terrain, you should choose one that has air-filled tires (also known as pneumatic tyres). They can take the bumps and lumps of gravel tracks or muddy paths. These tyres can take the bumps and sloughs of muddy trails or gravel tracks much better than plastic wheels that have been moulded, giving your baby a comfortable ride. Some models have an adjustable front wheel that can be used when you're traveling over a rough terrain too.
All-terrain buggies can be heavier than standard buggies with four wheels. You may want to think about the space they'll take in the boot of your car and whether or not you'll be able to lift them up and down stairs once folded. They can also be heavy to lift, so it's worth trying one in person if possible to determine how much effort you'll have to exert to lift the buggy off the ground.

Manoeuvrability
