Easy to Manoeuvre
A 3-wheeler is more easy to maneuver over bumpy terrain due to having one wheel in front and two in the back. They are a great choice for parents who wish to explore off-road and live an active life. They are also more stable than 4 wheel prams and are a great choice for parents who would like to jog while their baby is in the stroller.
Many 3 wheeler strollers have been designed as all-terrain strollers. These have special features to handle any terrain including sandy and muddy pathways to uneven and stony ground. They are typically larger than standard pushchairs and some come with large puncture-proof wheels that are perfect for all-terrain use. However, these wheels do increase the weight and size of the buggy. So, it's worth bearing this in mind when selecting an all-terrain pushchair for your family.

Certain brands make it a big selling point that their pushchairs are easy and easy to fold. This is a significant selling point, particularly in the event that you are using your buggy to hop on and off public transportation or in and out of your car often.
If you are looking for a quick and easy folding system, there are a variety of options to pick from. Many lightweight buggies come with an easy pull-hand mechanism that lets you fold the frame quickly and effortlessly. This includes the renowned Priam pushchair, which was awarded silver in the MFM lightweight buggy review in 2014.

If you intend to use the pushchair to walk in urban areas, or even with a car seat or carrycot, it is important to choose a pushchair that is easy to fold. If 3 wheel buggy need the buggy to be stable enough for walking over uneven ground or bumping up and down curbs, you should choose a four-wheeler since they are more likely to have better stability and are less likely to fall over than three-wheelers.

Certain models also have wheels that can be locked to provide extra stability on rough surfaces.

These include suspension and extra large puncture-resistant tyres and the ability to upgrade to other tyres sets to withstand more challenging conditions.
Easy to clean
It is essential to keep the condition of your pushchair and keep it looking nice. The best method to do this is to clean it on a regular basis. It's best to clean it with warm, soapy water to remove most dirt and marks. However, you can also employ a brush or water hosepipe (on low setting) to reach the corners and crevices of your stroller. It's worth doing this outside on an overcast day, and then tipping it upside down as much as you can to ensure you get inside the wheels and mechanisms where dirt is often deposited.
If you're worried about staining, try a solution of vinegar and water or bicarbonate of soda on a cloth. Both can help remove stubborn stains and help to neutralise odours. A regular wipe down using warm water will keep any mould from developing in the first place. This isn't only unsightly but can be unsanitary for toddlers and babies to sit on.
One of the best suggestions to keep your pushchair clean and in good operating condition is to read its manual. It will provide helpful information on how to assemble and disassemble your pushchair, as well as material information. The manual will tell you how to clean the fabric parts including the hood, hood and other parts of the buggy (everyone recommends washing them at least twice every two weeks) and also examine the pressure of air in the tyres on a regular basis (normally indicated by the manual).
As the majority of pushchairs are used regularly the chassis made of metal and moving parts could be exposed to a lot wear and tear over the course of time. This can cause loose bolts and nuts or even rust in the event of neglect. It is important to inspect your pushchair for signs of wear regularly. If there's any issue be sure to contact the manufacturer as soon as you can. This will keep your pushchair operating properly and will prevent any safety issues.
Easy to transport
A 3-wheeler pushchair offers you a lot more maneuverability than a standard 4-wheel model, especially if your model has large rear wheels designed to withstand rough terrain. They are often able to negotiate kerbs and bumps more easily, which means you can move it up and down, and around town without difficulty. All-terrain pushchairs are great for those who reside in rural areas or take their infant or toddler for frequent walks on rough terrain. They're ideal for woodland strolls and for rough terrain with a lot of them capable of attaching to your car seat or infant carrier for an all-in-one solution.
Most all-terrain pushchairs come with large, puncture-proof tyres which are designed to be strong enough to withstand bumpy and uneven surfaces. However, a lot of them still come with a decent suspension to help you navigate tricky areas and ensure that the ride is as comfortable as possible for your child. They are also quite heavy, which means they may be difficult to lift when folded, especially when you're using them for children in the seat and have many shopping bags.
Think about the size of the basket on the 3 wheeler you are thinking about. A lot of 3 wheelers have smaller baskets than their 4 wheel counterparts. If you plan to go on lots of shopping or have a growing child you may require a larger stroller that is able to accommodate you.
