If you regularly walk through rough terrain, or want to exercise on a treadmill, a three-wheeled pushchair is the ideal choice. They are the best lightweight 3 wheel stroller option to use if you require a pushchair that can tackle any terrain from busy roads to forest tracks.

For greater maneuverability, opt for a model with locking or swivelling front wheels. The rear and front wheels that are larger also give you an easier ride on different surfaces.

Manoeuvrability

A 3-wheel pushchair is a fantastic choice for those who want to be able to move easily. The wheels are positioned close which allows the chassis to turn and turn more easily than a four wheel pushchair. This makes them ideal for busy shops and streets. Some models have smaller front wheels that can be locked and swivelled for additional maneuverability. The Roma Atlas has two wheels in the front positioned close together and a clever lock that allows it to be as stable as a three-wheeler, while still allowing for the same maneuverability.
