The Benefits and Drawbacks of a 3 Wheeled Pushchair
If you often walk across rough terrain, or wish to run in a pushchair with three wheels, it's the ideal choice. These are the best for those who need an automobile that can handle any terrain from busy streets to forest tracks.
Look for models with front wheels that can be locked or rotated. This will allow you more flexibility. Larger wheels on the front and back can provide a more comfortable ride over various surfaces.
Manoeuvrability
Manoeuvrability is one of the key benefits of a 3 wheel stroller travel system wheel pushchair. The wheels are placed close together allowing the chassis to rotate and turn much more easily than a conventional four wheel pushchair, making them ideal for busy streets and shopping. Some have small front wheels that are swivelled and locked for extra maneuverability. 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.
