A three-wheeled buggy is ideal for those who regularly walk on uneven terrain or jog. They are the best option for those who need an automobile that can handle any terrain from busy streets to forest tracks.

Look for models with front wheels that can be locked or rotated. This will allow you more flexibility. The rear and front wheels that are bigger provide an easier riding on different surfaces.

Manoeuvrability

A 3 wheel pushchair is a great option for those who wish to be able to move easily. The wheels are close together, allowing the chassis turn and twist more easily than a four wheel pushchair. This makes them suitable for busy shops and streets. Some have small front wheels that can be locked and swivelled to give them extra maneuverability. The Roma Atlas has two wheels at the front that are set close together and a lock that allows it to be as solid as a 3-wheeler while still allowing for the same maneuverability.
