Three Wheeler Pushchairs
If you're a busy parent who enjoys jogging or searching for a stroller which can take on a variety of terrains, three wheeler pushchairs are a great option. They are easy to maneuver and fold neatly to store or transport.
They are simple to maneuver in tight spaces and corner stores can be a breeze with their swivel front wheels. Pick models equipped with air-filled tires to withstand bumpy roads and pavements.
Strollers
There are many different strollers to choose from that are designed to meet the needs of a particular group of people. Some strollers are designed to accommodate multiple infants (twins, or children with a small age difference) while others are for singletons. The rest are designed to accommodate babies from birth until age four. Certain products have safety guidelines that must be followed. For example, any child seat or cot that is carried must be secured with a secure strap and not be further than 20cm away from the frame's edge.
Three-wheel pushchairs are easier to maneuver because they only have one front wheel. This makes them ideal for narrow aisles or streets in shops where space is at a premium. Think about an all-terrain stroller when you intend to use it in different settings. Built with tough tyres, they can tackle rough terrain and bumps much more easily than the regular stroller. Some models have suspensions to 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 option for parents who want to be active and take their children on a brisk stroll or run. These pushchairs have a larger frame, tyres and wheels than strollers. They can also come with an adjustable handlebar and handbrake.
If you're planning to jog with your stroller, it's worth taking a test drive to see how you find the experience and how easy it is to control. You'll also need to decide which type of tyres you prefer, whether they're foam-filled or air-filled. Air-filled tyres are more durable but they're also more prone to punctures. You'll require a repair kit carry around with you.
For a stylish and flexible option, look at the new 3-wheel pushchairs available from iCandy. They come with amazing all-terrain features such as a suspension system that is large enough to withstand puncture-proof tyres as well as an adjustable handlebar to suit both mums and dads. They also comply with the EU REACH regulations as well as low in phthalates, lead and other harmful chemicals.
Joggers
If you are a buggy runner or jogger and need a 3-wheeler stroller specifically designed for running. These pushchairs feature larger wheels and a suspension system that can deal with bumps and uneven sidewalks. These are also heavier and more bulkier than traditional strollers, which makes them unsuitable for daily 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 combines maximum control and precise steering for getting active with stylish styling and great maneuverability in urban areas. It's the perfect solution for parents who run but need to keep their children in a safe and secure environment during long walks or running errands.
There are other great Joggers that can be used for strolling around the city, such as the UPPAbaby Ridge Stroller Jake and the Baby Jogger City Elite 2 Stroller Jet. These are tyres with air-filled tires, which give a very smooth ride, but they are prone to punctures so you'll need an extra. Some have heavy-duty or adjustable suspensions to make the ride smoother on rough terrain.
Depending on the age of your child, you might be able to make the transition from using a carrycot or infant car seat into one of these strollers without much trouble. However, it's always best to talk to your pediatrician first, particularly when they advise waiting until your child is at least 6 months old.
Another option is to buy the jogger and then put on a compatible car seat adapter. For example, the phil&teds Sport buggy can be turned into a 2-in-1 travel system with an infant car seat, so you can take your child on runs or walks from day one.
The Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 3-wheeler is fashionable and practical 3-wheeler that can be used for strolling or light jog. It's an excellent choice for parents who are active and trendy and can fit a car seat from birth (with the optional City infant car seat adapter). It has 3 recline positions and air-filled tires so that your child can enjoy a comfortable journey. It also folds up quickly.
All-terrain
If you enjoy walking off the beaten track, live in a rural area or would like to run with your child an all-terrain pushchair could be the best option for you. The top all-terrain strollers feature large, sturdy wheels that can handle bumpy terrain and excellent suspension to make your child's trip comfortable.
These are usually larger than standard pushchairs, and are often difficult to fit in the trunk of your car. They are also more expensive than other pushchairs. Keep this in mind when shopping for a new one.
Choose a model that features a height-adjustable handlebar, which will help when you and your companion have different heights. You should also consider whether you want a wrist strap that reduces the possibility of it slipping off on sloping ground or crossing hills. Some models are designed with a fixed front wheel which will be easier to control if are planning to use it for jogging. Some models have an swivel wheel that can be locked to allow you to maneuver on uneven surfaces.
The type of tyre you choose is crucial. Many all-terrain pushchairs use air-filled tyres, which create an easy ride, but they can puncture easily. Some have a gel-filled or foam-filled tyre that are less likely to puncture, but they will increase the weight of the pushchair.
A quality all-terrain stroller will have a large basket that is ideal to carry baby's grocery items. Some will have a handy compact fold that can be folded in one hand to make it easier to store it away when not in use. They usually come with 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. The dual suspension can handle rough terrain and allows you to take your child for walks on all-terrain surfaces and even go jogging with it (once your child is old enough). It is suitable for babies from birth. It comes with a fully-reclining seat and can be used with an infant car or carrycot.
Folding
The majority of pushchairs fold. They take up less space in your home and are easier to put into the trunk of your car and are ideal if you're short on storage or have a tiny car boot or are planning on traveling a lot as a family.
There are many kinds of folds. So, pick one that best suits your lifestyle and preferences. For instance the latest buggy models feature a revolutionary auto-fold that folds down at the simple push of a button. This leaves your hands free to handle a baby, bags or other children, and is ideal for parents who have back issues or recovering from C-sections.
Some models fold more traditionally, with the seat in place. 3 wheel buggy are more bulky and may not fit as tightly in your car or boot. Some of these will also require a couple of hands to fold, which could be a problem if are being held by your child.
It doesn't matter if you prefer a simple umbrella fold or a more complex mechanism, it's important to ensure that the stroller you select will be able to cope with the terrain you'll be riding it on. If you're planning on navigating many cobblestones and gravel tracks, then tyres with air will offer a more comfortable ride.
If you'll be using your pushchair mainly on paved roads and pavements the majority of three-wheelers have moulded wheels which will give your child a smooth ride. However, if you'll be traveling with your baby off-road or over rough terrain opt for one equipped with removable or quick-release front wheel to keep your pushing kit looking its best.
