The following are the main elements to take into account when choosing a 3 wheeled travel system:: 1. Stroller.
Stroller
A stroller (also known as a pushchair, pram, or buggy) is the vehicle you use to transport your child around. Travel system strollers integrate an ordinary stroller with an attached car seat. This allows you to move your baby between the car and stroller without causing any disturbance to the baby.
Take a trip to the store to try out the stroller travel system before you make your purchase. The stroller should be simple to fold and unfold and moveable. Also, ensure that the seat reclines, and the harness can be buckled easily. Many new parents find themselves with one hand on a sleeping infant and you'll need a stroller that is easy to navigate with just one hand.
Many strollers have suspension systems that smooth out rough terrain. Some even have locking front wheels that prevent the stroller from swiveling and give you stability when you're jogging. Make sure that the stroller is certified to Safety Standard AS/NZS 2888 and the most recent version that eliminates loops that could cause strangulation between the waist straps and the shoulder straps.
For your convenience, a few strollers come with a tray with two cup holders as well as a covered compartment for your mobile phone or keys. Some strollers come with a large storage basket at the back of the seat that can be used for extra gear such as diapers or wipes.
The streamlined design of most strollers give them a sporty, modern appearance that can make you look stylish when you walk through the city. Some strollers come in various colors and finishes so you can personalize your look.
A 3-wheeled stroller is a different option to a 4-wheeled model. While 3 wheel buggy than conventional strollers, these types tend to be more easy to maneuver and can hold more weight. These strollers are also better for off-road adventures, as they have more durable and grippy tyres. They also offer greater stability on uneven terrain, and can climb over kerbs and uphill without tipping. Hand brakes and wrist straps are required on certain 3-wheel models, but are optional on other models.
Car Seat
Travel systems with a car seat and stroller are perfect for parents who want to swiftly transfer their child from the car to the stroller. It also appeals to those who don't want to buy a full stroller for a short period of time, for example a toddler who has just begun walking.
While some car seats slot directly onto a chassis for a pushchair some require an adaptor. These aren't usually included in the price and can be an additional cost. It is important to confirm this prior to making the purchase.
Some brands make carseats and pushchairs, such as Jane which offers an eye-catching 4-wheeler that comes with an infant carrycot or infant carrier. The car seat, known as the Jane Matrix Light 2, is the world's only fully lie flat infant carrier and comes with a sensor to determine the moment your child is in or out of the seat.
The pram is compact and light, making it easy to maneuver through the narrow streets of cities. The cushioned seating offers the best comfort for infants and young children, and some models come with an adjustable footrest that adjusts to the child's height. There are many optional accessories like a ride-on board that allows older siblings to join in on the fun.
Depending on the model, the car seat may have premium lower anchor connectors and an anti-rebound bar for added security, an EZ buckle that keeps the buckle in place when buckled and unbuckling harness pads, and a harnesses that do not rethread. Some models may have a rear-facing weight limit for children of 50 pounds. Other models may have narrow shells, 2 crotch strap positions and a narrow shell.
It's worth considering if you plan to rent a car or use Uber often, since some car seats are easier to install without the base than others. The Cybex Sirona, for example is easy to install without the base and was rated high in our most recent car seat test for ease of installation, however it isn't as straightforward as some of the top-rated seats.
