Look for designs with front wheels that can be locked or swivelled. This gives you more flexibility. Larger wheels, both front and back also offer a more comfortable ride on varying terrains.

Manoeuvrability

A 3-wheel pushchair is a great option for those looking to be able to move effortlessly. The wheels are close which allows the chassis to turn and turn more easily than a 4 wheel pushchair. This makes them ideal for busy streets and shops. Some even have a pair of front wheels that can be locked and swivelled for extra manoeuvrability when needed. The Roma Atlas, for example is equipped with two wheels that are positioned closely together at the front, and an innovative lock that can swivel to give the ability to maneuver like three wheels, with added stability.

Many of our best-selling 3 wheelers come with a 4-in-1 travel systems which can convert from stroller to pram to toddler seat and car seat carrier as your child grows.
