Three Wheeler Pushchairs
Three wheeled pushchairs are an ideal choice for active parents who love to jog, or those looking for a stroller which can handle different terrains. They're simple to maneuver and fold easily for transport or storage.
They are simple to maneuver in tight spaces, and supermarket corners can be a breeze with their swivel front wheel. Look for models that have air-filled tyres to take on tracks and bumpy pavements.
Strollers
There's a vast selection of strollers on the market, all made to meet the different needs. Some are made for multiple babies (twins or a small age gap), others are suitable for singletons and others are designed for children up to the age of four years. Some of these products have safety guidelines which must be adhered to. For instance the child's seat or carrying cot must be secured securely and should not extend at least 20cm from the frame's edge.
Three wheel pushchairs tend to have a single front wheel making them more manoeuvrable than other models. This makes them ideal for narrow streets and aisles in stores where space is scarce. If you plan to use your stroller in many different environments, you should consider an all-terrain pushchair. With tyres that are tough that can withstand rough terrain and bumps much more quickly than the regular stroller. Some strollers have suspensions that help make the ride more comfortable.
Some all-terrain strollers are designed to be jogging buggies well. This is a great choice for parents who want to be active and take their child along for a stroll or jog. These pushchairs have a larger frame, tyres, and wheels than a stroller. 3 wheeler pushchair can also have an adjustable handlebar and a handbrake.
If you plan to jog with your stroller, you should consider taking a test drive to see how you feel about the ride and how it's easy to manage. You'll also need to decide which type of tyres you prefer, whether they're filled with air or foam. Air-filled tyres tend to be more durable, but they are also prone to punctures, so you'll need to have a repair kit with you.

Joggers
If you're a buggy jogger or a buggy runner, you'll need a 3-wheeler stroller designed specifically for jogging. These pushchairs have larger wheels than standard strollers and a suspension designed specifically to withstand bumps and uneven sidewalks. These are also heavier and bulkier than standard strollers, making them unsuitable for daily use unless you plan to take a short run.

Other good joggers can be used for strolling around the city, like the UPPAbaby Ridge Stroller Jake or the Baby Jogger Jet City Elite 2. These have air-filled tyres, which give a very smooth ride, but they are prone to punctures and you'll need to carry an extra. Some models have adjustable or heavy-duty suspensions to make the ride smoother on rough terrain.
You may be able dependent on your child's age and development, to move easily from a carrycot to a jogging carriage. It is best to consult with your pediatrician prior to purchasing a jogging stroller especially if your doctor recommends waiting until your child is 6 months old.
You can also buy an jogger and connect a car seat adapter compatible with it. The phil&teds Sport buggy, for example, can be converted into a two-in-one system that includes an infant seat so that you can take your child on runs or walks from the beginning of their life.

All-terrain
All-terrain prams are a great option if you love exploring off the beaten path, live in rural areas, or wish to run with your child. The most effective all-terrain prams feature large, sturdy wheels that can withstand bumpy ground and great suspension to make the journey more comfortable for your little one.
They're generally larger than standard pushchairs, and can be bulky to store in your car boot. They are also more expensive than other pushchairs, so do bear this in mind when looking around.
Choose a model that features adjustable height handlebars, which will help if you and your partner are different heights. Consider whether you need a wrist strap to prevent it from rolling off on hills or slopes. Some models are designed to have a fixed front wheel, which makes it more manageable if you want to use it for running. Certain models come with an swivel wheel that can be locked to make it easier to move over uneven surfaces.
The type of tyre is also important. Many all-terrain strollers are equipped with air-filled tires that provide an enjoyable ride, but can puncture. Some pushchairs come with gel or foam-filled tire, which is less likely to puncture. However, it does increase the weight of the pushchair.
A great all-terrain stroller should come with a large basket that is ideal to carry your baby's food. Some come with a compact one-handed fold that makes it easy to store when not in use. Often, they will also include a raincover and a footmuff.
The Mamas & Papas Ocarro is one of our top all terrain pushchairs. It was awarded an award called the Mother and Baby Gold Award in 2017.

Folding
Some of the most popular pushchairs are folding models. They are simple to store at home, and they can be easily fitted into the car's boot. This is ideal when your car's boot is small, or if you plan on travelling a lot with your family.
There are many different fold styles, so you need to look for one that is suited to your lifestyle and preferences. For example the latest buggy models have a groundbreaking auto-fold that collapses by itself with a simple press of a button. This lets you hold your child as well as other children or bags using both hands. It's also ideal for parents who suffer from back issues or are recovering from C-sections.
Some models fold more conventionally, with the seat in place. This means they're a bit bulkier and might not fit as well in your boot or vehicle. Some models require more than one hand to fold, which can be a problem if are being held by your child.
It doesn't matter if you prefer a simple umbrella fold or a more complex mechanism, it's important to ensure that the model you pick can cope with the terrain you'll be using it on. For example, if you'll be navigating lots of cobblestones and gravel tracks then make sure the wheels are made from air-filled tyres that will provide an easier ride for your child.
If you'll be using your pushchair mostly on paved roads and pavements then most three-wheelers have moulded wheels which will give your child a smooth ride. If you're planning to take your child off-road or on rough terrain, choose one with removable mudguards and/or a front wheel with quick-release. This will make your pushchair appear its best.
