Manoeuvrability
Manoeuvrability is a key benefits of a 3 wheeler strollers wheel pushchair. The wheels are close together and allow the chassis to turn and twist more easily than a 4 wheel pushchair. This makes them ideal for busy streets and shops. Some even have a small pair of front wheels that can be locked and swivelled for additional maneuverability when required. The Roma Atlas has two wheels in the front set close together and a lock that allows it to be as stable as a three-wheeler while still allowing for the same maneuverability.
