Are 3-wheel or 4-wheel strollers better?

3-wheel and 4-wheel strollers offer different benefits. Which one is better for you will depend on what you’re looking for from a buggy. Strollers with three wheels are more manoeuvrable than those with four. They’re often built to cope with rough terrain and have sturdier frames. This makes 3-wheel strollers a versatile option that you can jog behind and that you can take off-road for trips through parks or the countryside.

4-wheel strollers tend to be bigger and more stable than the 3-wheel version, and typically have more storage room beneath the chair. They come in a wider range of models too and are often cheaper than 3-wheel buggies. Ultimately, which stroller is right for you and your family will depend on what kind of trips you’ll be taking it on.

Are 3-wheel strollers safe?

3-wheeler and 4-wheeler strollers each offer different benefits. But you can rest assured that 3-wheel strollers are just as safe to use as their 4-wheel alternatives.

Some parents-to-be worry that 3-wheel strollers won’t be as safe as those with four wheels, with concerns they’ll be less stable and more prone to tipping over with only a single wheel at the front. These strollers are in fact built with large wheels, sturdy frames and with excellent weight distribution, making them difficult to tip over, even when running with them over uneven terrain. As a parent, it’s only natural to focus on safety. But you don’t have to worry about the safety credentials of the range of strollers we offer at Online4Baby, no matter how many wheels they have.

How to fold a 3-wheel stroller?

How you collapse a folding 3-wheel stroller will depend on the make and model of the buggy you have, with different foldable 3-wheel strollers folding in different ways. Typically, this involves locking the front and rear wheels and then engaging the folding mechanism. With some models, this can be done one-handed!

Although each 3-wheel stroller is different, all modern foldable buggies fold in simple and quick fashions, meaning they’re easy to set up when needed. All of our 3-wheel strollers come with clear instructions that show to fold and open the stroller. You can also often find helpful videos online that demonstrate this too.
