A three-wheeled pushchair is ideal if you walk regularly on rough terrain or jog. They are a great option if require a vehicle that can handle all types of terrain, from busy streets to tracks in the woods.

For more manoeuvrability, look for a design with locks or swivelling front wheels. Larger wheels on the front and back offer a more comfortable ride on various surfaces.

Manoeuvrability

A 3 wheel pushchair is an excellent option for those who wish to move effortlessly. The wheels are close together which allows the chassis to turn and turn more easily than a 4 wheel pushchair. This makes them suitable for busy streets and shops. Some even have a pair of front wheels that can be locked and swivelled for extra manoeuvrability when needed. The Roma Atlas has two wheels at the front, which are set close together and a lock that allows it to be as stable as a three-wheeler while maintaining the same maneuverability.

Many of our most popular 3 wheelers can be converted from stroller, pram, toddler seat and car-seat carrier as your child develops.
