Three Wheeler Pushchairs
Three wheeler pushchairs are an ideal choice for active parents who love to run or are looking for strollers that can withstand diverse terrains. They are easy to move around and fold up neatly to store or transport.
With one front wheel that can swivel, they're easy to turn in tight spaces and make supermarket corners a breeze. Look for models that have air-filled tyres to take on tracks and bumpy pavements.
Strollers
There's a huge range of strollers available each made to meet the different needs. Some are specifically designed for multiple babies (twins or with a tiny age gap) and others are suitable for singletons and others are designed for children up to the age of four years. Certain products have safety guidelines that must be followed. For example the child's seat or carrying cot must be secured securely and cannot be at least 20cm from the frame's edge.
Three-wheel pushchairs are more maneuverable because they only have one front wheel. This makes them perfect for narrow streets and store aisles where space is limited. If you plan to use your stroller in many different environments, consider an all-terrain pushchair. They're designed with tough tyres that are able to take on bumps and rough terrain more easily than regular strollers. Some strollers have suspensions that ensure a more comfortable ride.
A few all-terrain buggies can also be designed to be used as jogging buggies. This is a great choice for parents who want to exercise and take their child along for a stroll or jog. These pushchairs typically come with a bigger frame and tyres that are more substantial than a normal stroller, and they can include features such as an adjustable handlebar or handbrake.
If you're planning to jog with your stroller, you should consider getting a test drive to see how you find the experience and how it's easy to manage. You'll need to decide if you prefer foam-filled or air-filled tyres. Air-filled tyres tend to be more durable, but they are also more susceptible to punctures. You'll require a repair kit to keep in your bag.

These all-terrain pushchairs are equipped with great features, including a suspension system and large puncture-proof tires. They also have an adjustable handlebar for both parents and mothers. They are also compliant with the EU REACH regulations and are low in phthalates, lead and other chemicals.
Joggers
If you're a buggy runner or jogger and need a 3-wheeler stroller that is designed specifically for running. These pushchairs have larger wheels and a suspension system that can take on bumps and uneven sidewalks. They're also usually heavier and bulkier, making them unsuitable for everyday use unless you plan to go out on the occasional run.
The Mountain Buggy Terrain jogger is one of the most sought-after 3-wheelers available on the market. It combines maximum control and precision steering for getting active with stylish styling and great manoeuvrability within the city. It's the ideal vehicle for the parent who is a avid runner, but also would like to keep their child close by and comfortable for long walks or errands.
Other good joggers can be used for strolling around the city, for example the UPPAbaby Ridge Stroller Jake or the Baby Jogger Jet City Elite 2. These are tyres with air-filled tires that provide a smooth ride but are prone to punctures, so you'll need to have an extra. Some have heavy-duty or adjustable suspensions to give you a smoother ride on rough terrain.
Depending on the age of your child, you might be able to transition from a carrycot or infant car seat to one of these strollers without a lot of difficulty. But, it's always best to talk to your pediatric physician first, especially if they recommend waiting until your child is at least six months old.
Another option is to buy a jogger and then add on a compatible car seat adapter. For instance the phil&teds Sport buggy can be turned into a 2-in-1 travel set with an infant car seat, so you can take your child on walks or runs as early as day 1.
The Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 3-wheeler is a stylish and practical 3-wheeler which can be used to stroll or light jog. It's an excellent choice for parents who are active and on-trend and can fit a car seat starting at birth (with the optional City infant car seat adapter). It has 3 recline positions, as well as air-filled tires, which means your child can have an enjoyable journey. It also folds up quickly.
All-terrain
If you love to wander off the beaten track, live in a rural area or want to go jogging with your child an all-terrain pushchair could be the right choice for you. The top all-terrain strollers feature big, robust wheels capable of coping with bumpy terrain and excellent suspension to make your child's trip comfortable.
They're generally larger than standard pushchairs and could be bulky to store in your car boot. These pushchairs are also more expensive than other pushchairs. Be aware of this when you are shopping for a new one.
Find a model that has a height-adjustable handlebar that can be used when you and your companion have different heights. You should consider whether you need a wrist strap to stop it from rolling off when you go down slopes or hills. Some models are made with a fixed front wheel which is more manageable if you want to use it for running. Certain models come with an swivel wheels that can be locked to make it easier to maneuver on uneven surfaces.
The type of tyre is crucial. A majority of all-terrain pushchairs are equipped with air-filled tyres that provide an easy ride, but they can puncture easily. Some come with a foam or gel-filled tyre that are less likely to puncture but will add weight to the pushchair.
A good quality pushchair that is all-terrain will have an adequate-sized basket which will be handy for carrying baby's groceries. 3 wheel buggies will have a handy compact fold that can be folded in one hand to make it easier to put it away when not in use. Often, they include a raincover and footmuff.
One of our favourite all-terrain pushchairs is the Mamas & Papas Ocarro, which was awarded an award for the Mother and Baby Gold Award for 2017. Dual suspension lets you take the baby for all-terrain walks and jog with it once your child is old. It is suitable for infants from birth. It comes with a fully-reclining seat that can be used in conjunction with a baby car or carrycot.
Folding
The majority of pushchairs fold. They take up less space in your home and are more convenient to fit into the trunk of your car and are ideal when you're in a tight space or have a tiny car boot or are planning on doing lots of travelling as families.
There are many different types of folds, so pick one that is appropriate to your lifestyle and requirements. Many of the newest buggy models feature an auto-fold, which collapses by itself with just the push of a button. This allows you to hold your baby as well as other children or bags with both hands. It is also ideal for parents who suffer from back problems or are recovering from C-sections.
Other models are designed to fold more traditional with the seat in place, which means they'll be heavier and may not be as comfortable to fit in your boot or car. Some models require two or more hands to fold, which can be a problem when you are holding onto your child.
It's important to check whether the pushchair is capable of handling the terrain you intend to use it. If you're planning on navigating a lot of cobblestones and gravel tracks, then tyres with air will offer a more comfortable ride.
If you'll be using your pushchair mostly on pavements and paved roads the majority of three-wheelers have moulded wheels that will give your child an enjoyable ride. If you intend to transport your child off-road or on rough terrain, you should choose one with removable mudguards or a front wheel with quick-release. This will make your pushchair appear its best.
