Three Wheeler Pushchairs
Three wheeler pushchairs are the ideal option for active parents who love to run or who are in search of a stroller which can handle diverse terrains. They're simple to maneuver and fold up neatly for storage or transport.
With a front wheel that can rotate easily, they're able to turn in tight spaces and make supermarket corners easy. Select models equipped with air-filled tires to withstand rough roads and pavements.
Strollers
There's a vast selection of strollers on the market, all designed to meet the needs of different people. Some strollers are made to accommodate multiple babies (twins or children with a slight age difference) and others are designed for singletons. The others are designed to fit children from birth to age four. Many of them have safety guidelines to be adhered to, for example - any child seat or carrycot has to be fastened securely and can't be more than 20cm away from the edge of the frame.
Three wheel pushchairs tend to have a single front wheel making them more maneuverable than other models. This makes them perfect for narrow streets or aisles in stores where space is at a premium. If you're planning to use your stroller in many different environments, consider an all-terrain pushchair. They're designed with tyres made of tough rubber that can handle rough terrain and bumps more easily than normal strollers. Some strollers come with suspensions to help make the ride more comfortable.
Certain all-terrain buggies are designed to be used as jogging buggies. This is great for parents who wish to stay active and enjoy a brisk stroll or run with their child. These pushchairs are larger in frame, tyres and wheels than strollers. They can also have an adjustable handlebar and handbrake.
If you're planning to run with your stroller, it's worth taking a test drive to see how you like the experience and how it's easy to manage. You'll need to decide whether you prefer air-filled or foam-filled tyres. Air-filled tyres are generally more durable, but they're also susceptible to punctures so you'll need to have an repair kit on hand.

Joggers
If you're a Jogger (or buggy runner) or are planning to become, you will need a 3-wheeler pushchair that is specifically designed for jogging. They have bigger wheels than standard strollers and a suspension that is specially designed to cope with bumps and uneven sidewalks. They're also typically heavier and bulkier, making them less suitable for daily use unless you plan to go on an occasional run.

Other joggers that are suitable can be used to stroll through the city, for example the UPPAbaby Ridge Stroller Jake or the Baby Jogger Jet City Elite 2. They have tyres that are filled with air which provide a smooth ride but are prone to punctures, so you'll need to have an extra. Some come with heavy-duty or adjustable suspension to make the ride smoother on rough terrain.
Based on 3 wheeler pushchair of your child, you may be able to transition from using a carrycot or infant car seat to one of these strollers without a lot of difficulty. However, it's best to talk to your pediatrician first, particularly when they suggest waiting until your child is at minimum six months old.
You can also purchase a jogger, and then connect an adapter for car seats compatible with it. The phil&teds Sport buggy, for example is able to be converted into a two-in-one system that includes an infant seat to take your child on walks or runs from the first day.

All-terrain
If you enjoy walking off the beaten track, reside in a rural area or you want to run with your child an all-terrain pushchair could be the best option for you. The best all-terrain strollers feature large, sturdy wheels capable of coping with bumpy terrain, and have excellent suspension to make your child's journey comfortable.
They're usually bigger than standard pushchairs, and can be difficult to fit in the trunk of your car. They also tend to be more expensive than other pushchairs, so keep this in mind when you are shopping.
You should choose models that have adjustable height bars. This is helpful if you and/or your partner have different heights. Consider whether you need a wrist strap to stop it from rolling off on slopes or hills. Some models have a fixed wheel on the front, which makes it more stable when you're jogging. Certain models come with an swivel wheels that can be locked to make it easier to move over uneven surfaces.
The type of tyre is also important. A lot of all-terrain strollers have air-filled tires, which offer a smooth ride, but can puncture. Some pushchairs have the gel- or foam-filled tire that is less likely to puncture. However, it can increase the weight of the pushchair.
A good all-terrain stroller will come with a large basket that is useful to carry baby's grocery items. Some come with a compact one-handed fold that makes it easy to store when not in use. Most often, they include a footmuff and raincover.

Folding
The majority of pushchairs fold. They require less space in your home and are easier to store in the car's boot and are ideal when you're in a tight space or have a small car boot, or plan on doing lots of travelling as a family.
There are a variety of folds, so choose one that best suits your lifestyle and needs. Many of the newest buggy models come with an auto-fold feature, which collapses by itself with just a push of a single button. This allows you to hold your baby as well as other children or bags with both hands. It's also ideal for parents who have back problems or who are recovering from C-sections.
Some models fold more conventionally with the seat in place. This means they are a bit bulkier and might not fit as well in your car or boot. Some models will require two hands or more to fold. This could pose an issue for parents who need to hold their child while folding.
It's important to check whether the pushchair is suitable for the terrain on which you plan to use it. For instance, if it's likely that you're going to be on a lot of cobblestones or gravel tracks then make sure the wheels are made of air-filled tyres for the most comfortable ride for your child.
If you intend to use your pushchair primarily on roads that are paved or pavements and roads, then the majority of three-wheelers have moulded tires that will give your baby an easy ride. However, if you'll be taking your child off-road or over rough terrain opt for an option that comes with a set of movable guards for mud and a quick-release front wheel to keep your pushing kit looking its best.
