Why Buy a Three Wheel Pushchair?

Three-wheel pushchairs are more mobile and can be used in urban or rural areas. They usually have large air-filled wheels (also known as pneumatic tyres) which can handle most terrains and will provide your child with an enjoyable ride.

Some models address this issue by having features such as suspension or a central tire that helps keep the buggy in place on uneven terrain.
