3 Wheel Pushchairs
If you're a keen run or simply seeking an easier stroller, 3 wheel pushchairs have it all. Three-wheel prams, that have air-filled tires instead of the big wheels that are often used on jogging buggies that are designed for paved roads can be used to navigate through woodland trails or cobbled streets.
Certain models are heavy and bulky due to their large wheels. Make sure they fold compactly and don't take up the entire space in your boot.
Stability
Parents are often put off by the stories of three-wheel pushchairs falling over. This is usually due to poor or poorly-constructed models. When selecting a 3-wheeler it is essential to determine the stability of the buggy by attempting it in the real world. You should also look at how it is easy to shift direction or swerve with the front wheel alone and how quick it can be done.
If you're planning on using your pushchair off-roading, opt for a design with air-filled tyres (sometimes called pneumatic tyres) that are able to handle rough terrain. These tyres can handle the bumps and bumps of muddy pathways or gravel tracks better than plastic wheels that have been moulded, giving your baby a smooth ride. Some models come with a lockable wheel on the front that can be used to navigate rough terrain.
All-terrain pushchairs can be bulkier than standard four-wheeled buggies which is why you'll need to think about the amount of space they'll take up in your car's boot and if you'll be in a position to lift it up and down the stairs when folded. They can also be quite heavy to lift and carry, so try one out in person to gauge how much effort you'll have to put in to get the buggy off the ground.
UPPAbaby's Ridge is an example of a tri-wheel pram that is stable, maneuverable and suitable for off-roading using an attachment for a car seat.

The large rear wheels of the seat are foam-filled tyres with a 'never flat' design that allow it to navigate rough ground and its smooth suspension and adjustable handlebar provide the comfort of your baby or toddler.
Manoeuvrability
Three-wheeled strollers are easier to move and turn than four-wheel strollers since they have two wheels in the back and one wheel in the front. They can be great for narrow city streets or manoeuvring through the aisles of crowded supermarkets. Many 3-wheeled pushchairs also offer a lock feature on the front wheel to enhance their ability to navigate tight corners and spaces.
