I have always been quite anti 3 wheeler/all terrain pushchairs, they are heavy, bulky, take up the whole pavement and you can’t get them through shop doorways. Then I changed my job, sold my car and realised that I needed a bigger wheeled pushchair for the walk to the nursery each morning and evening. My dad suggested a jogger, his reasoning being that when he was out with my daughter in the pushchair, people with 3 wheelers “ just flew by him” (he’s 73) anyway, after I had dismissed his idea, I went onto the internet and did some research.

There are a lot of all terrain 3 wheeled pushchairs out there, however even for a novice I found it very easy to distinguish the well built ones from the cheap attempts at 3 wheeled joggers, the main one being the price, but the general look told me all I needed to know.

I have owned a Jane Powertwin pushchair for the last three years and have found it to be the best twin pushchair on the market, it's a three wheeled pushchair with off road style tyres which can cope with all types of terrain quite easily. I have used mine on beaches, country walks, gravel pathways and busy supermarkets and never had any problems.

The great thing about the Powertwin is that it is no wider than an average single pushchair. I can get through gaps in the supermarket with the Powertwin that my mum couldn't get through with the single buggy. The rear seat lays back for a new born baby while the front seat is suitable from three months or when baby can support its own head. This pushchair is also suitable for newborn twins when used with car seats, making it into an excellent travel system. With the addition of Rebel car seats which are very easy to attach to the pushchair and also easy to fit into the car.
