They are simple to maneuver in tight spaces, and supermarket corners can be a breeze with their swivel wheel on the front. Make sure you choose models with air-filled tyres that can tackle bumpy pavements and tracks.
Strollers
There's a wide selection of strollers on the market that are made to meet the different needs. Some are made for multiple infants (twins or a small age gap), others are suitable for singletons and others are made to fit children from the age of four years. Many of them have safety guidelines to be adhered to For instance, any child seat or carrycot needs to be secured with a secure strap and shouldn't be more than 20cm away from the edge of the frame.
Three wheel pushchairs typically have a single front wheel making them more maneuverable than other models. This makes them perfect for narrow streets and store aisles where space is limited.

Certain all-terrain buggies are designed to be used as jogging buggies. This is a great option for parents who wish to exercise and take their children for a walk or jog. These pushchairs typically come with a bigger frame and tyres that are more substantial than a normal stroller, and they can come with features like an adjustable handlebar or handbrake.
If you're planning to jog with your stroller, consider having a test drive in order to see how you like the ride and how it's easy to control. It's also important to determine which type of tyres you prefer, whether they're foam-filled or air-filled. Air-filled tyres are more durable however they are more susceptible to punctures. You'll require a repair kit to carry around with you.

Joggers
If you're a jogger (or buggy runner) or would like to become a jogger, you'll require a 3-wheeler pushchair specifically designed for running. These pushchairs have larger wheels than traditional strollers, and a suspension designed specifically to cope with bumps and uneven sidewalks. They are also heavier and more bulkier than traditional strollers, making them unsuitable for everyday use unless you plan to take a short run.
The Mountain Buggy Terrain is one of the top three-wheel joggers on the market. It combines maximum control and precise steering to keep you active, with elegant styling and superb maneuverability in the city. It's the perfect solution for parents who run but need to keep their children in a safe and secure environment on long walks, or for run-of-the-mills.
Other good joggers can be used to walk through the city, such as the UPPAbaby Ridge Stroller Jake or the Baby Jogger Jet City Elite 2.

Some also come with adjustable suspension or heavy-duty suspension to make the ride even more comfortable on rough terrain.
You might be able depending on the age of your child to seamlessly transition from carrying a stroller to a jogging sleigh. However, it's always best to check with your pediatric physician first, especially if they recommend waiting until your child is at minimum 6 months old.
You can also buy the jogger, and connect an adapter for car seats compatible with it. For Push Chairs And Prams , the phil&teds Sport buggy can be transformed into a 2-in-1 travel set with an infant car seat, so you can take your child on walks or runs as early as day one.

All-terrain
If you love to wander off the beaten track or live in a rural location or want to go jogging with your baby, an all-terrain pushchair may be a good choice for you. The top all-terrain strollers feature big, robust wheels that can withstand bumpy terrain, and have excellent suspension to ensure your child's ride is comfortable.
They are generally larger than standard pushchairs, and are often difficult to fit in the trunk of your car. They also tend to be more expensive than other pushchairs so keep this in mind when you are shopping.
Look for a model with a handlebar that can be adjusted in height which can help if you and your partner are of different heights. It is also worth considering whether you'd prefer a wrist strap that reduces the possibility of it slipping away on sloping ground or crossing hills. Some models are designed to have an incline front wheel fixed, which is more manageable if you want to use it for jogging. Others come with a swivel rear wheel that can be locked in position to assist you in maneuvering on uneven surfaces.
The type of tyre is also important. A lot of all-terrain strollers have air-filled tires that provide a smooth ride, but they can puncture. Some have a foam or gel-filled tyre that are less likely to puncture, but they will add weight to the pushchair.
A quality all-terrain stroller will include a large, spacious basket that can be used to carry baby's grocery items. Some will have a handy, compact fold that is one-hand to make it easier to store it away when not being used. Often, they will also include a raincover and a footmuff.

Folding
A lot of the most sought-after pushchairs are folding models. They are simple to store in your home, and they can easily be inserted in the boot of your vehicle. This is perfect if your car boot is small or if you are planning to travel a lot with your family.
There are many kinds of folds, so pick one that is appropriate to your lifestyle and preferences. Many of the newest buggy models have an auto-fold feature that can be folded in a matter of the push of a button. This lets you hold your baby or other children, or even bags with both hands. It's also great for parents who suffer from back issues or are recovering from C-sections.
Some models are designed to fold more traditional, with the seat still in place, which means they'll weigh a bit more and may not fit as snugly in your car boot. Some models will require two hands or more to fold. This could pose a problem for parents who need to hold their child while folding.
It's important to check whether the pushchair is able handle the terrain on which you intend to use it. If you're planning to travel a lot of cobblestones and gravel tracks, then tyres that are filled with air will offer more comfort.
If you'll be using your pushchair mainly on roads that are paved and pavements the majority of three-wheelers have moulded wheels which will ensure your child has an easy ride. But, if you'll be traveling with your baby off-road or on rough ground opt for a model equipped with removable guards for mud and a quick-release front wheel that will help keep your pushing kit looking its best.
