Many 3 wheeler strollers are designed as all-terrain strollers. They are equipped with features that permit them to take on any terrain, including sandy and muddy trails as well as stony and uneven terrain. Some have large, puncture-resistant wheels that are perfect for all-terrain use. These extra wheels can increase the size and weight of the stroller So keep this in mind when you choose an all-terrain stroller for your children.
MFM reviewer Tara loved the Core's large wheels which, she says, "have great manoeuvrability and make it really easy to navigate over rough terrain and kerb pop in town." It also comes with an adjustable front wheel that locks and foam-filled tyres that never flat, which means you do not have to worry about punctures during your journeys.
The UPPAbaby Ridge is a different all-terrain pushchair packed with a range of amazing features, including suspension, an adjustable handlebar, and the ability to fold with one hand. It's also suitable from birth and can be converted into a travel set-up with the purchase of a car seat that is compatible. The 3-wheeled stroller is available in a variety of colors and finishes.
Folding is simple
If you're planning on taking your buggy on the road frequently, consider 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 tiny space, such as an aisle at a supermarket.
Certain brands make it a major selling feature that their pushchairs are quick and simple to fold. This can be an important selling point, particularly in the event that you are using your buggy to get on and off public transportation, or in and out of your car often.
For a quick and easy folding system, there are many options to pick from. Many of the lightweight buggies feature a neat one hand pull mechanism that lets you fold the frame swiftly and easily. This includes the renowned Priam pushchair that was awarded silver in the MFM lightweight buggy review in 2014. 3 wheeled stroller comes with a unique quick-folding system that requires just one hand needed and can fold flat in less than five minutes.
A foldable pushchair that is easy to fold is also important if you plan to use it to walk in urban areas, or with a child car seat or carry cot. If you need your buggy to be stable to traverse uneven ground or bump up and down curbs then a four-wheeler is best. They are generally more sturdy and less likely to fall over than three-wheelers.
If you are planning on driving your buggy through rural areas or on non-paved tracks, look for models with tyres filled with air (sometimes called pneumatic) because they will be able to be able to withstand rough terrain better than wheels that have been moulded. Some models also come with a lockable front wheel for added stability over tough surfaces. Try pushing the pushchair across various types of terrain in the store if not sure of the type of terrain you'll be using it on. Some models have a range of features to help you adapt your pushchair for different types of terrain, like a suspension system and extra large puncture-proof tyres. They also allow you to upgrade to additional tyre sets to tackle more difficult conditions.
Easy to clean
As most parents are aware, a pushchair is usually expensive, which is why it's essential to keep it looking nice and operating properly. Cleaning it on a regular basis is the best way to achieve this. A good wipe down with soapy water warm and warm will remove most marks and dirt, but it's also a good idea to employ a brush and hose pipe (on an uninvolved setting) to reach the corners and the nooks and crannies of your pram/stroller. This should be done on the day that is dry and warm. It is best to flip the stroller upside down and then 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 the most stubborn stains and neutralize the smells. A regular clean-up using warm water will prevent any mould forming in the first place. This isn't just unsightly, but also can be unsanitary for babies and toddlers to sit on.
One of the best tips to keep your pushchair clean and in good working order is to go through its manual. It will give you helpful information on how to assemble and dismantle your stroller and will also provide information about the materials. The manual will explain how to clean the fabric parts as well as the hood and other components of the buggy (everyone recommends washing them at least twice every week) and also be sure to check the pressure of the air in the tyres regularly (normally stated in the manual).
The metal chassis and moving parts of the majority of pushchairs can wear out over time due to their frequent use. If left unattended, this could result in loose bolts and nuts or even rust, so it's an ideal idea to examine your stroller regularly for signs of wear. Contact the manufacturer immediately if there are any problems. This will ensure that your pushchair functioning properly and avoid any safety issues.
Easy to transport
A 3-wheeler pushchair is much more maneuverable than a 4 wheel model. This is especially true if the rear wheels are large and designed to handle rough terrain. They are often able to overcome bumps and kerbs easily, which means you can pop it up and down and around town without difficulty. If you reside in a rural area or regularly take your infant or toddler for walks over rough ground and muddy terrain, then an all-terrain pushchair will be the ideal choice. These are great for woodland walks as well as for challenging terrain. A lot of them can be tethered to car seats or infant carriers for a one-stop solution.
All-terrain pushchairs are equipped with large, puncture-resistant tyres that are designed to deal with bumpy and uneven surfaces. However, a lot of them still have good suspension too to assist you in navigating difficult areas and ensure that the ride is as comfortable as it can be for your child. They are also very heavy, so they can be difficult to lift when folded, especially when you're using them for a child in the seat and have a lot of shopping bags.
Think about the size of the basket on the 3 wheeler you are contemplating. A lot of 3 wheelers have smaller baskets than their 4 wheel counterparts. If you're going to be shopping a lot, or if you have a growing baby or toddler, you might need to find a larger pushchair that can handle your changing needs.
