Life with little ones has a habit of getting a bit hectic. From daycare drop-offs and playdates to doing the weekly shop, we’re always on the move. Having a 3-wheel pram that can keep pace and carry the load can be a big help.
As great for parks as the urban footpath, 3-wheel prams are designed for busy lives and any terrain. A front swivel wheel makes them manoeuvrable and easier to push when packed with groceries and a growing tot. Add to that a slender frame for squeezing into tight spaces and you’ve got one seriously nifty ride.
We cruised around town to scout out the stand-out 3-wheel prams other mums love in Australia.
OUR PICK OF THE CROP
