A Brief History Of The Evolution Of 3 Wheeled Pushchair
The Benefits and Drawbacks of a 3 Wheeled Pushchair If you regularly walk through rough terrain, or wish to exercise, a three-wheel pushchair is the perfect choice. They are ideal if you need a buggy that can take on any terrain, from busy streets to tracks in the woods. Look for models with front wheels that can be locked or turned. This will allow you more flexibility. Larger wheels both front and back offer a more comfortable ride over various terrains. Manoeuvrability Manoeuvrability is a major advantages of a three wheel pushchair . The wheels are set close to each other, which allows the chassis to turn and twist much more easily than a standard four wheel pushchair. This makes them perfect for busy streets and shopping. Some even have a pair of front wheels that can be locked and swivelled for additional maneuverability when required. The Roma Atlas has two wheels at the front that are set close together and a smart lock that allows it to be as stable as a three-wheeler while maintaining the same maneuverability. A lot of our top-selling 3 wheelers are also 4-in-1 travel systems which can convert from stroller to pram to toddler seat and car seat carrier as your child grows. This is ideal when you're planning to travel with your family or taking frequent shopping trips. One such example is the Baby Jogger Nipper pushchair that includes Hauck's XL air wheel and a 360 swivel front wheel that can be locked and a suspension system that allows it to be used on all terrains, including off-road and jogging after your child is old enough to be able to join in with you! Another great option is the ickle bubba Nipper, an all-terrain pushchair with a great suspension and large puncture proof tyres that make it suitable for off-roading as well as smooth city pavements.

For instance, some models come with a swivelling front wheels that can be locked in place for extra stability on rough terrain.
