The Benefits and Drawbacks of a 3 Wheeled Pushchair A three-wheeled buggy is ideal for those who regularly walk on rough terrain or jog. These are the best to use if you require an automobile that can handle any terrain from busy streets to forest tracks. Look for models with front wheels that can be locked or rotated. This will give you more flexibility. Larger wheels both front and back offer a more comfortable ride on different surfaces. Manoeuvrability A 3-wheel pushchair is an excellent choice for those who want to be able to maneuver easily. The wheels are positioned close to each other, allowing the chassis to turn and twist much more easily than a standard 4 wheel pushchair, making them ideal for busy streets and shopping. Some have small front wheels that can be swivelled and locked for extra maneuverability. The Roma Atlas has two wheels at the front that are positioned close together and a lock that allows it to be as stable as a three-wheeler, while still having the same maneuverability. Many of our best-selling 3 wheelers are also 4-in-1 travel systems that can change from stroller to toddler seat and car seat carrier as your child grows.
