The Benefits and Drawbacks of a 3 Wheeled Pushchair

A three-wheeled pushchair is perfect for those who regularly walk on rough terrain or run. They are ideal if you require a vehicle that can be able to handle any terrain, from busy streets to woodland tracks.

For greater maneuverability, opt for a model with swivelling or lockable front wheels. The rear and front wheels that are larger also give you the most comfortable ride on different surfaces.

Manoeuvrability

A 3 wheeled pushchairs-wheel pushchair is a great option for those who wish to be able to move easily. The wheels are positioned close which allows the chassis to turn and turn more easily than a four wheel pushchair. This makes them perfect for busy streets and shops. Some models even have a pair of front wheels that can be locked and swivelled to provide extra maneuverability when needed. The Roma Atlas, for example, has two wheels positioned close together in front and a clever lock that swivels to give the flexibility of three wheels, with added stability.
