3 Wheel Pushchairs
Three wheel pushchairs are great for those who are an avid jogger or needs a more flexible stroller. Three-wheel prams, with air-filled tires instead of the large wheels that are often used on jogging buggies that are designed for roads with paved surfaces can be used to navigate woodland trails and cobbled streets.
Some models can be heavy and heavy due to their massive wheels. Make sure they fold up compactly and don't take up the entire space in your boot.
Stability
Many parents are put off three-wheel pushchairs due to stories of them tipping over - however, this is usually due to poor quality or poorly designed models. When selecting a 3-wheeler it is important to check how stable the buggy is by testing it out in the person. Also, you should consider how quickly you can shift direction using the front wheel and how easily it can be done.
If you intend to use your pushchair on rough terrain, you should choose an option with tires filled with air (also known as pneumatic tyres). They are able to take on the bumps and lumps that come with gravel tracks or muddy paths. These tyres will be more resistant to bumps and bumps on muddy or gravel roads than the plastic wheels. They provide a smoother ride for your baby. Some models come with an lockable wheel on the front, which can be used to navigate rough terrain.
All-terrain pushchairs are heavier than standard buggies with four wheels and you'll need to consider how much room they will take up in your car's boot, and if you'll be capable of lifting it up and down the stairs when folded. They can also be quite heavy to lift, so it's worth trying the one on your own to gauge how much effort you'll need to exert to lift the buggy off the ground.
UPPAbaby's Ridge is an example of a tri-wheel pram that is stable, manoeuvrable and suitable for off-roading using a car seat attachment. It comes with a world-facing seat that can be attached to an UPPAbaby Carycot or infant car seats that can be added using adaptors. The large rear wheels are filled with foam and tyres with a 'never flat' design that make it very easy to navigate on rough terrain, while its smooth suspension and adjustable handlebar provide an enjoyable ride for your toddler or baby.
Manoeuvrability
With two wheels at the back and a single wheel at the front 3 wheel pushchairs are able to move and turn more easily than four-wheeled pushchairs. They are ideal for narrow streets and maneuvering through crowded supermarket aisles. A lot of 3-wheel strollers have a lock on the front wheel, which makes it easier to maneuver around corners.
A 3-wheeled pushchair is able to handle off-road terrain better than standard prams and strollers. For example, iCandy's core has a variety of features that make it ideal for countryside adventures. Tara who is an MFM reviewer, noted that it has a rustic-style wheelbase and larger wheels. They, she added, "perform well on woodland tracks, cobbles from markets and grass."

Folding
A lot of 3-wheel pushchairs can be folded neatly and compactly when not in use, and can be tucked into a small boot or under the staircase. They usually have large back wheels that can make them quite wide when folded. So do take this into consideration if you plan on using it in tight space or in aisles of shopping.

However, the seat unit is designed to be world-facing and suitable for children as young as 6 months old. The UPPAbaby Ridge has a hand-operated break on the right that MFM reviewers have found to be useful, especially when pushing it across uneven terrain.

Off-road
