3 Wheel Prams and Strollers

3-wheel prams and strollers combine easy folding, single-hand manoeuvrability, and sleek design to give caregivers and bub an easier time strolling through various terrains and environments. These prams are great options for sporty parents who prefer a lightweight and agile stroller which allows them to go on long walks or jogs with their little ones once their child is old enough to have the neck strength required for jogging or off-road motion. At Baby Bunting, we offer a wide range of 3-wheel prams and strollers that fit various occasions, seasons, and lifestyles. 

Are 3-wheel prams worth it?

Generally, yes–although it really boils down to one’s lifestyle and preferences. 3-wheel prams such as the Childcare Jax V2 3 Wheel Stroller are a prime choice for caregivers who prefer ease and agility for their prams. These prams and strollers are also much easier to handle over rough terrain, making 3-wheel prams a prime choice for sporty activities such as jogging, running, and even off-road strolling once your child is old enough to have the neck strength required for jogging or off-road motion. 

3-wheel Prams VS 4-wheel Prams: Which one should you choose?

The main thing to consider when choosing a pram is your lifestyle. Different models offer features which suit various needs and preferences. For instance, double prams are suitable for families with twins or multiple children as they carry more than one child. In this case, choosing between a 3-wheel pram and a 4-wheel pram boils down to what you want from the pram. 

 

3-wheel prams are more suitable for active parents as they provide a greater range of motion and flexibility in navigation. The front wheel can turn 360 degrees, so tight turns will feel effortless. Additionally, these strollers are designed for various terrains such as gravel paths, snow, and stone.  

 

On the other hand, 4-wheel prams provide stability and support because of their even weight distribution. These full-size prams and strollers are great for daily use because of their reliability and sturdiness. 4-wheel prams also have a wider range selection and are oftentimes more lightweight than 3-wheel prams, but they often don’t have the sleekness and flexibility of the latter. 

Benefits of Using 3-wheel Prams and Strollers

The three-wheeled pram or stroller is an excellent option for active families who enjoy spending time outside. These prams offer flexibility, effortless navigation, and easy manoeuvrability in almost all surfaces and terrains. Some of the key advantages of opting for a 3-wheel pram are: 

• Improved manoeuvrability thanks to the three-wheel suspension 

• Easier navigation through various terrains such as grass, gravel, sand, and even snow 
• Lightweight, sleek, and sturdy design that withstands demanding physical activities such as jogging and hiking 
• Comfort and safety for your bub even while you’re adventuring

Cleaning Process

Keeping your tot’s space sanitary is always a priority and this extends to your prams and strollers as well. We recommend going for a 3-wheel pram that you can easily clean and maintain regularly. Additionally, make sure you read instructions on how to clean your pram which should be included in the manual as well. 

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a 3-wheel stroller and a jogger pram?

There’s as a slight difference between the two, although the two are often used interchangeably! Jogger prams are designed for jogging and physical activities. More often than not, a jogger pram is 3-wheeled. On the other hand, a 3-wheel stroller is set apart by the number of wheels, but it is not necessarily designed for jogging or running. 

Do I have to buy accessories for my 3-wheel pram?

Buying pram accessories is entirely optional, but always consider your lifestyle and preferences. If you’re considering purchasing accessories for your 3-wheel pram, Baby Bunting offers a wide selection that you can choose from. 

How often should you clean 3-wheel prams?

Ideally, a daily once-over should be done on your prams especially for active parents. This cleans away accumulated dirt and debris from constant use. It is recommended to deep clean your prams every six months or twice a year to maintain its overall cleanliness.
