3 Wheeler Pushchairs
This 3-wheel pushchair is designed for a range of terrains such as woodland walks, to a stroll along the main street. It has great suspension, tyres with foam-filled tyres that don't flatten, and the ability to fold with one hand. It also lets you add an additional seat, carrycot or car seat.
If you plan to use it in rural and urban environments, you should choose a model with air-filled tyres (also known as pneumatic tyres). These can handle both paved and rough surfaces.
Easy to maneuver
With one wheel at the front and two at the back, a 3-wheel pram offers superior manoeuvrability that makes it easier to maneuver through rough terrain. Parents who lead an active lifestyle and want to explore off-road terrain will find these prams to be a good choice. They also tend to have greater stability than 4-wheel prams and are a good option for parents who wish to run with their child in their arms.
Many 3 wheeler strollers have been designed to be all-terrain strollers. These are equipped with special features that enable them to be able to handle any terrain, such as sandy and muddy paths as well as uneven and stony terrain. Some models have large, puncture resistant wheels that are ideal for all-terrain use. However, these extra wheels do increase the weight and size of the buggy so it is important to keep this in mind when choosing an all-terrain pushchair to bring your family around.
MFM reviewer Tara loved the Core's oversized wheels which, she says, "have great manoeuvrability and make it easy to navigate over rough terrain and even kerb pops in the city." It also comes with an adjustable front wheel that locks and foam-filled, never-flat tyres which mean you do not have to worry about punctures on your journeys.

Easy to fold
If you're planning on taking your buggy out and about a lot, it's worth selecting a three-wheeler which is easy to fold. This will help you save time when you have to load the buggy into and out of a car or into a smaller space, like an aisle in a supermarket.

There are a lot of options available in the search for the simple and quick folding system. Many lightweight buggies have a simple pull mechanism that lets you quickly and effortlessly fold the frame. The well-known Priam stroller, which took home silver at the MFM lightweight buggie review in 2014, is one of these. The Baby Jogger City Mini also features a patent-pending quick-fold system that requires only one hand needed, and is able to be folded flat in just five minutes.
If you intend to use the pushchair to walk in urban areas, or even with the use of a car seat or carrycot, it is essential to select a pushchair that is easy to fold. If you require the buggy to be stable for walking on uneven ground or bouncing down and up curbs, it's recommended to opt for a four-wheeler because they tend to have greater stability and are less likely to tip over than three-wheelers.
If you intend to take your buggy to rural areas or on tracks that aren't paved, select a model that has air-filled tyres. They can handle rough terrain better than moulded wheels. Some models come with wheels that lock on the front to give extra stability on rough surfaces. Try pushing the pushchair across different types of terrain in the store if you're unsure of what type of terrain you'll use it for. Certain models have a variety of options that allow you to adapt your stroller for different types of terrains. These include suspension systems and extra large puncture-resistant tyres and the ability to upgrade tyre sets to handle more difficult conditions.
Easy to clean
As many parents will know, a pushchair is usually expensive, which is why it's essential to keep it looking nice and functioning properly. The best method to achieve this is to clean it regularly. A thorough clean-up with soapy water warm and warm will get rid of most dirt and marks, but it's also a good idea to employ a brush and pipe for a hose (on the lowest setting) to get into the corners and places that aren't accessible to your pram/stroller. You should do this on an unseasonably warm, dry day. It is recommended to flip the stroller upside down and use a brush.
If you're worried about staining, try a solution of vinegar and water or bicarbonate of soda on a cloth. Both can remove staining that is difficult to remove and neutralize odors. 3 wheeled pushchair -up using warm water will stop any mould from forming in the first place. This isn't just ugly, but also could be harmful for toddlers and babies to sit on.
The manual is among the best ways to keep a pushchair in good condition and clean. The manual will provide useful information on how to assemble and deconstruct your buggy as well as information on the materials. It will also explain how often the hood and fabric should be cleaned (everyone recommends at least once every week) and that it's recommended to examine the pressure of the tyres on regular basis (typically indicated in the manual).
The chassis and moving components of most pushchairs will wear over time due to their frequent use. This can lead to loose nuts and bolts, or even corrosion when left unattended. It is essential to check your pushchair for signs of wear frequently. Contact the manufacturer immediately if there are any issues. This will ensure that your pushchair working properly and prevent any safety issues.

All-terrain pushchairs are equipped with large, puncture-resistant tyres that are designed to be used on bumpy and uneven surfaces. Many of them have good suspension to aid you in maneuvering difficult areas and ensure a comfortable ride for your child. They are also quite heavy so they can be difficult to carry when folded, particularly when you're using them with children in the seat and have lots of shopping bags.
Take into consideration the size of the basket on the 3 wheeler you're considering. Some have smaller shopping baskets than their 4-wheel counterparts. If you're planning on shopping a lot or have a growing child or toddler, you may require a larger pushchair that can meet your changing needs.
