The Benefits and Drawbacks of a 3 Wheeled Pushchair

A three-wheeled buggy is ideal for those who regularly walk on rough terrain or run. These are the best to use if you require a buggy to handle any terrain, from busy streets to forest tracks.

To make your ride more maneuverable, look for a design with locking or swivelling front wheels. Front and rear wheels that are bigger give you a more comfortable riding on different surfaces.

Manoeuvrability

Manoeuvrability is a main advantages of a 3 Wheel twin stroller wheel pushchair. The wheels are set close to each other, which allows the chassis to move and turn more easily than a traditional 4 wheel pushchair, making them ideal for busy streets and shopping. Some even have a small pair of front wheels that can be locked and swivelled to provide extra maneuverability when needed. The Roma Atlas has two wheels at the front that are positioned close together and a smart lock that allows it to be as stable as a three-wheeler, while maintaining the same maneuverability.

Stability

You can improve the stability of your buggy by looking for certain features.
