Design
Most people immediately think of four-wheeled models when they think of a pushchair, a buggy or pram. It could be because they are more stable and offer an even bigger shopping basket. However, there are three-wheel models that provide just as much stability but the advantage of a more maneuverable design.
A great benefit of a three-wheel pushchair is the ability to turn quickly and negotiate tight corners. The close proximity of the front pair of wheels gives them this extra maneuverability and they're a great option for situations where you'll need to navigate obstacles like high tree roots or kerbs. Some 3-wheel pushchairs also have locks to ensure that the front wheel can be locked into place when you're on more level ground.
The majority of travel systems consist of a pushchair that can snap on to a car seat (suitable from birth). It's that simple! You can easily transfer your baby from the car to the pushchair, then back. This is great when you're going to be driving and walking with your baby often.

However the triangular design allows for plenty manoeuvrability. These are popular among parents who wish to take their pushchairs out on rough roads or bumpy terrains.
