3 Wheel Pushchairs
Three wheel pushchairs are perfect for those who are a jogger, or just would like a more versatile stroller.

Stability

When choosing a 3-wheeler, it is important to check how stable the buggy is by testing it out in the real world. You should also take into consideration how quickly you can shift direction using the single front-wheel and how easy it is to do so.
If you're planning on using your pushchair off-roading, opt for a model with air-filled tyres (sometimes called pneumatic tyres) that are able to handle rough terrain. These tyres are able to take the bumps and bumps of muddy pathways or gravel tracks much better than plastic moulded wheels and give your child an enjoyable ride. Some models come with an lockable wheel on the front that can be used to navigate rough terrain.

It may be difficult to lift them, which is why you should try one out in person to gauge how heavy they are.
