Easy to Manoeuvre
A 3-wheeler is more easy to maneuver on rough terrain since it has one wheel in front and two wheels in the back. They are a great choice for parents who want to get off-road and have an active life. 3 wheel pushchair are also more stable than 4 wheel prams, and are a great choice for parents who want to run while their baby is on the move.
A lot of 3 wheeler pushchairs are designed to be all-terrain pushchairs. These are equipped with special features that enable them to be able to handle any terrain, such as sandy and muddy trails as well as stony and uneven terrain. They're generally larger than standard pushchairs and some have large, puncture-proof wheels that are ideal for all-terrain use. However, these wheels can increase the weight and size of the buggy. So, it's worth bearing this in mind when selecting an all-terrain pushchair for your children.

Folding is easy
If you're planning on using your buggy a lot, a three-wheeler with easy folding wheels is an ideal choice. This will make it easier when you have to load the buggy into and out of a car, or into a smaller space, like an aisle at a supermarket.
Certain brands make it a major selling feature that their pushchairs are easy and simple to fold. This is a major selling point, particularly when you'll be using your buggy a lot to get on and off public transport or frequently in and out of your car.
If you are looking for a quick and simple folding system, there are a variety of options to choose from. Many of the lightweight buggies feature a neat one hand pull mechanism that allows you to fold the frame quickly and effortlessly. The well-known Priam stroller, which was awarded silver in the MFM lightweight buggie review in 2014, is one of these. The Baby Jogger City Mini has a patent-pending quick fold system that allows it to be folded in five seconds using just one hand.
Choosing an easy-to-fold pushchair is crucial for those who plan to use it for walking in urban environments, or with a child car seat or carry cot. If you need the buggy to be stable for walking over uneven ground or bumping up and down curbs, you should opt for a four-wheeler because they are more likely to have better stability and are less likely to tip over than three-wheelers.
If you're planning on taking your buggy out in rural areas or on unpaved tracks, you should look for a model with air-filled tyres (sometimes known as pneumatic) because they can cope better with rough terrain than wheels that have been moulded. Some models also have an adjustable front wheel that locks to give you more stability on tough terrain. If you're unsure what sort of terrain you'll be using your pushchair on you can try it out in the shop by pushing it across different types of ground. Certain models come with a variety of features that will help you adapt your stroller for different types of terrains. These include suspension and extra large puncture-resistant tyres as well as the capability to upgrade to other tyres sets to withstand more challenging conditions.
Easy to clean
It is essential to keep the condition of a pushchair and keep it looking good. Cleaning it frequently is the best way to achieve this. A thorough clean-up with warm soapy water should get rid of most dirt and marks but it's also a good idea to employ a brush and pipe hose (on the lowest setting) to get into the corners, nooks and crannies of your pram/stroller. It is best to do this on the day that is dry and warm. It is best to flip the stroller upside down and use a brush.
If you are worried about stains on your clothes, try a solution that is made of water and vinegar. Or use bicarbonate soda on a piece of cloth. Both can lift staining and neutralise odours. A regular wash down with warm water will also stop any mould from forming in the first place. This isn't just ugly, but also could be unhygienic for babies and toddlers to sit on.
The manual is one of the best ways to maintain your pushchair in good shape and clean. It will give you helpful information on how to assemble and disassemble your pushchair and also details about the material. It will also tell you how often the hood and fabric are to be washed (everyone recommends at least two times every week) and it's recommended to examine the pressure of the tyres on a regular basis (typically indicated in the manual).
Because most pushchairs are used frequently, the metal chassis and moving parts can be subject to a lot of wear and tear over the course of time. This can result in loose nuts and bolts, or even corrosion in the event of neglect. It's important to check your pushchair for signs of wear and tear regularly. If there's any issue ensure that you contact the manufacturer as soon as you can. This will ensure that your pushchair is operating properly and will prevent any safety issues.
Easy to transport
A pushchair with 3 wheels is much more maneuverable than a four-wheel model. This is especially true if rear wheels are big and designed to deal with rough terrain. They can usually negotiate kerbs and bumps more quickly, so you can maneuver it up and down and around town without difficulty. If you live in a rural area or often take your child or toddler for walks on uneven ground, then an all-terrain pushchair could be the ideal choice. They're ideal for woodland strolls and tackling tricky ground with a lot of them able to attach your car seat or infant carrier for an all-in-one solution.
All-terrain pushchairs have large, puncture resistant tyres designed to be used on bumpy and uneven surfaces. A majority of them have excellent suspension to assist you in navigating difficult terrains and provide a comfortable ride for your child. They can also be heavy and difficult to lift once they are folded. This is particularly the case in the case of children in your seat as well as a lot of bags.
Another thing to think about is the basket size of the pushchair with 3 wheels you're looking at. Some have smaller shopping baskets than their 4 wheel counterparts. If you're planning on shopping a lot, or if you have a growing infant or toddler, you might need to find a larger pushchair that can meet your changing requirements.
