Three Wheeler Pushchairs
Whether you're an active parent who loves to run or looking for a stroller which can be able to handle a variety terrains, three-wheeler pushchairs are a great option. They are easy to move around and fold up neatly for storage or transport.
They are simple to maneuver in tight spaces, and supermarket corners are a breeze thanks to their swivel wheel on the front. Choose models with air-filled tires that can handle rough roads and pavements.
Strollers
There's a wide selection of strollers available each designed to meet the needs of different people. Some strollers are designed to accommodate multiple infants (twins, or children with a slight age difference) while others are specifically designed for singletons. The rest are designed to fit children from birth to age four. Certain of these products come with safety guidelines that must be followed. For instance, any child seat or carrying cot must be secured properly and not be more than 20cm from the frame's edge.
Three-wheel pushchairs are more maneuverable since they have just one front wheel. This makes them ideal for narrow aisles or streets in stores where space is limited. If you plan to use your stroller in many different environments, think about an all-terrain pushchair. They're built with tyres made of tough rubber that can take on bumps and rough terrain more quickly than regular strollers. Some models have suspensions to to make the ride more comfortable for your baby or toddler.
Some all-terrain strollers are designed to be jogging buggies well. This is a great option for parents who wish to stay active and enjoy a brisk stroll or jog with their child in tow. These pushchairs usually come with larger frames and tyres than a standard stroller, and may have features like a handbrake or adjustable handlebar.
If you're planning to jog with your stroller, it's worth having a test drive in order to see how you like the experience and how easy it is to control. You'll also need to decide which type of tyres prefer and whether they're foam-filled or air-filled. Air-filled tyres are generally more durable but are prone to punctures, so you'll need an repair kit on hand.
Take a look at the brand new 3-wheeled pushchairs made by iCandy for a stylish and flexible option. These all-terrain pushchairs are equipped with amazing features, such as a suspension system and large puncture-proof tires. They also have an adjustable handlebar for both parents and mums.

Joggers
If you're a buggy jogger or buggy runner and need a 3-wheeler stroller specifically designed for running. They have bigger wheels than standard strollers, and a suspension that is specially designed to cope with bumps and uneven sidewalks. They are also generally heavier and bulkier, which makes them less suitable for everyday use unless you intend to go out on the occasional run.
The Mountain Buggy Terrain is one of the top three-wheel joggers you can buy. It is a combination of precise steering and the highest level of control to keep you active, with refined styling and world class manoeuvrability in urban areas. It's the ideal vehicle for parents who are avid runner, but also is looking to keep their child close and comfortable during long walks or running errands.
There are also other excellent Joggers that can be used for daily strolling, such as the UPPAbaby Ridge Stroller Jake and the Baby Jogger City Elite 2 Stroller Jet. These have air-filled tires, which provide a smooth ride, but are susceptible to punctures. You'll require a spare. Some come with heavy-duty or adjustable suspension to make the ride smoother on rough terrain.
You may be able depending on the age of your child to seamlessly transition from carrying a stroller to a jogging sleigh. However, it's always best to check with your pediatric physician first, especially if they recommend waiting until your child is at least 6 months old.
Another option is to buy a jogger and then add to it a car seat adapter. For instance, the phil&teds Sport buggy can be converted into a 2-in-1 travel system 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 stylish and practical 3-wheeler that can be used for strolling or light jog. It's a great choice for parents who are looking to be active and trendy.

It has air-filled tyres and three recline positions so your child will be able to enjoy a comfortable ride, and it folds up in the blink of an eye.
All-terrain
All-terrain strollers are a great choice if you enjoy taking a walk off the beaten track or live in rural areas, or want to run with your child. The best all-terrain prams will feature large, sturdy wheels that can withstand bumpy ground and have a good suspension to make your journey comfortable for your little one.
They are generally larger than standard pushchairs and can be difficult to fit in the boot of your car. They also tend to be more expensive than other pushchairs so keep this in mind when you are shopping.
Choose a model that features a handlebar that can be adjusted in height which can help in the event that you and your partner are of different heights. You should also consider whether you'd like a wrist strap, which reduces the possibility of it slipping away on sloping ground or crossing hills. Some models are designed to have a fixed front wheel which will be more manageable if you intend to use it for jogging. Some models come with a swivel wheel that can be locked to make it easier to navigate on uneven surfaces.
The type of tyre is crucial. A majority of all-terrain pushchairs are equipped with air-filled tyres, which create an easy ride, but they can puncture easily. Some have a gel-filled or foam-filled tyre, which are less prone to puncture but will increase the weight of the pushchair.
A good quality all-terrain pushchair will have an adequate-sized basket which is ideal to carry your baby's shopping. 3 wheeled pushchair will have a handy, compact fold that is one-hand to help you put it away when not being used. Often, they include a raincover and a footmuff.

Dual suspension allows you to take the baby on a stroll across the entire terrain and even jog with it once your child is old. It is suitable from birth and includes a fully reclined seat and can be used as a travel system that includes an infant car seat or carrycot attached.
Folding
Some of the most common pushchairs fold. They are easy to store at home, and can be easily fitted into the car's boot. This is ideal if your car boot is small or if you plan to travel frequently with your family.
There are a variety of folds, so choose one that best suits your lifestyle and needs. For example, some of the latest buggy models feature a revolutionary auto-fold that collapses at the simple push of a button. This frees your hands to juggle a baby, bags, or other children and is ideal for parents with back problems or recovering from C-sections.
Other models are designed to fold more conventionally, with the seat still on, which means they'll be heavier and won't fit as well in your car or boot. Some models will require two hands or more to fold. This could pose a problem for parents who wish to hold their child while folding.
If you're looking for a simple umbrella fold or a more complex mechanism, you should ensure that the pushchair you choose will be able to cope with the terrain you'll be riding on. If you're planning to travel a lot of cobblestones and gravel tracks, then tyres that are filled with air will give you more comfort.
If you'll be using your pushchair mainly on roads that are paved and pavements the majority of three-wheelers come with moulded wheels that give your child a smooth ride. If you're taking your little one off-road or on rough ground opt for an option equipped with removable guards for mud and a quick-release front wheel to keep your pushchair looking its best.
