3 Wheel Pushchairs
If you're a fervent athlete or just looking for a more versatile stroller, 3 wheel pushchairs have it all. Three-wheel prams, with air-filled tires instead of the large wheels commonly found on jogging buggies designed for roads that are paved are able to navigate through woodland trails or cobbled streets.
Certain models are heavy and bulky due to their large wheels. Check that they fold down in a compact manner and don't take up the entire space of your boot.
Stability
Many parents are put off three wheel pushchairs by reports of them tipping over, but this is usually due to cheap or poorly designed models. When choosing a 3-wheeler, it is crucial to test the stability of the buggy by trying it out in person. Also, you should consider how quickly you can change directions with the single front-wheel and how easily it can be done.
If you are planning to use your pushchair on rough terrain, select one with tires filled with air (also called pneumatic tyres).

They offer a smoother ride for your baby. Some models come with a lockable wheel on the front, which can be used for rough terrain.
All-terrain buggies are heavier than standard buggies with four wheels. You might want to think about the space they will take up in the trunk of your car and whether you'll be able to lift them up and down stairs once folded. They can also be quite heavy to lift, so it's worth trying one out in person to see how much effort you'll have to put into lifting the buggy off the ground.
