Three Wheeler Pushchairs
If you're a parent who enjoys jogging or searching for a stroller that is able to take on a variety of terrains, three wheeler pushchairs are a great option. They are easy to move around and fold up neatly to store or transport.

Strollers
There are many strollers to choose from that are designed to meet certain requirements. Some are designed for multiple babies (twins or a small age gap), others are suitable for singletons, and the rest are designed for children up to the age of four years. Many of them have safety guidelines that must be adhered to For instance, any child seat or carrycot has to be secured and must not be more than 20cm from the edge of the frame.
Three wheel pushchairs tend to have a single front wheel making them more manoeuvrable than other models. This makes them perfect for narrow streets and store aisles where space is scarce. Think about an all-terrain stroller if you plan to utilize it in a variety of environments. Designed with tough tyres, they can tackle rough terrain and bumps much more easily than the standard stroller. Some models have suspensions to make the ride more comfortable for your toddler or baby.
A few all-terrain buggies can also be designed to be used as jogging buggies. This is an excellent option for parents who want to be active and take their children for a walk or jog. These pushchairs are larger in frame, tyres and wheels than the stroller. They may also have a handbrake and adjustable handlebar.
It's worth taking your stroller out for a test ride to see how it handles and how well it handles. You'll also need to decide what kind of tyres you prefer, whether they're foam-filled or air-filled. Air-filled tyres tend to be more durable, but they're also susceptible to punctures, so you'll need a repair kit with you.

Some of the latest buggys feature an auto-fold, which collapses by itself with just a push of a single button. This frees your hands to carry a baby bags, or other children and is ideal for parents suffering from back pain or recovering from C-sections.
Other models are designed to fold more traditionally with the seat in place, which means they'll be heavier and may not fit as snugly in your boot or car. Some models will require two hands or more to fold. This could pose a problem for parents who need to hold their child while folding.
It's important to check whether the pushchair is suitable for the terrain on which you intend to use it. If you plan to navigate a lot of cobblestones and gravel tracks, then air-filled tyres will offer an easier ride.
If you'll be using your pushchair mostly on roads that are paved and pavements the majority of three-wheelers come with moulded wheels which will give your baby a smooth ride. But, if you'll be traveling with your baby off-road or on dirt choose a model with a set of removable guards for mud and a quick-release front wheel to keep your pushchair looking its best.
