Manoeuvrability
A 3-wheel pushchair is a fantastic option for those looking to be able to move effortlessly. The wheels are placed close to each other, allowing the chassis to move and turn more easily than a conventional 4 wheel pushchair, making them ideal for busy streets and shopping. Some even have a pair of front wheels that can be locked and swivelled for additional maneuverability when required. The Roma Atlas has two wheels in the front placed close together, and a lock that allows it to be as solid as a 3-wheeler while still having the same maneuverability.
