3 Wheel Pushchairs
If you're a keen athlete or just looking for an easier stroller 3 wheel pushchairs offer it all. Three-wheel prams, which have air-filled tires instead of the large wheels commonly found on jogging buggies designed for roads that are paved can be used to navigate through woodland trails or cobbled streets.
Large wheels, however, could make some models bulky and heavy make sure it folds down compactly and doesn't take up all your boot space.
Stability
Parents are often put off by stories about three-wheel pushchairs falling over. But this is usually due to poor or poorly-constructed models. It is essential to test the stability of a 3-wheeler by putting it through its paces. It is also important to consider how it is easy to change direction or swerve with the single front wheel, and how quick it can be done.
If you intend to use your pushchair on uneven terrain, select one that has air-filled tires (also called pneumatic tyres). They can take the bumps and lumps that come with muddy paths or gravel tracks. 3 wheeler pushchair can handle the bumps and bumps of muddy trails or gravel tracks far better than moulded plastic wheels, giving your baby a smooth ride. Some models have the option of locking the front wheel, which can be used when riding on rough terrain too.
All-terrain buggies are heavier than typical four-wheeled buggies. You should take into consideration the amount of space they'll take in the car's boot and whether you'll be capable to lift them up and down the stairs after they've been folded. It may be difficult to lift them, so you should try one out in person to gauge how heavy they are.
UPPAbaby's Ridge, a three-wheeled pram that has a car seat attachment, is an excellent example of a stable, manoeuvrable pram.

Manoeuvrability
