Manoeuvrability

Manoeuvrability is among the main advantages of a 3 wheeled buggies wheel pushchair. The wheels are close, allowing the chassis turn and twist more easily than a 4 wheel pushchair. This makes them suitable for busy shops and streets. Some even have a small pair of front wheels that can be locked and swivelled to provide extra manoeuvrability when needed. The Roma Atlas has two wheels at the front, which are set close together and a lock that allows it to be as stable as a three-wheeler, while still allowing for the same maneuverability.

Stability
