3 Wheel Pushchairs are an efficient solution for parents who are on the move. When you're walking through the busy streets of the city or maneuvering through narrow store aisles These stylish strollers are designed to move easily.
The eye-catching Peach 3 Blossom All Terrain pram was the highlight of the iCandy booth. It is suitable from birth and comes with air-filled tyres as well as a quick one-hand fold.
Manoeuvrability
A 3-wheeled pushchair is the perfect option for urban environments, in which you need to maneuver through narrow streets or supermarket aisles on a daily basis. The swivelling front wheels on these models can be locked to add stability on surfaces that are not paved such as mud or grass. These designs offer superior suspension systems to take the bumps caused by uneven surfaces, and ensure your child a safe and comfortable ride even on rough terrain.
Some pushchairs with 3 wheels can be controlled with only one hand, or with a minimum effort, making them great for hectic lifestyles and for mums who want to keep moving quickly, while keeping their child snug in the seat. They can be folded in one hand, making them easy to squeeze into the trunk of your car. Some are able to be folded so that they stand upright which makes them more convenient to carry on public transportation.
If you intend to use your buggy in non-urban areas, choose one with air-filled tyres. They are ideal for roads with pavements and asphalt however they are not equipped to handle surfaces that are not paved, such as grass or mud. If you intend to run around with your baby then opt for a pushchair that is all-terrain and has a large, highly maneuverable front wheel.

It's also available in a variety of colours to suit every taste and budget.
Stability
The kind of wheels you pick is crucial if you plan to take your pushchair across rough terrain or off-road. Larger wheels provide greater suspension to give you a smoother ride and may help you cope with obstacles like kerbs, cobbles or stones more easily than smaller ones. Some models also feature an option to lock the front wheel to provide extra stability when riding on uneven terrain.
You can also select a pushchair with foam-filled never-flat tyres that are more puncture-resistant than regular rubber tyres. They may come with a higher cost than air-filled tyres, but they will help you save the expense of replacing tyres as well as the time it takes for them to be replaced at an auto garage or service station.
A single front wheel can be a disadvantage if you plan to take your pushchair over rough terrain, or over hilly or uneven surfaces, especially when you'll be carrying heavy bags or walking through thick mud. Some manufacturers overcome this by constructing their pushchairs with an incline that's situated closer to the seat, to distribute the weight evenly over the rear wheels.
Some models can be used both off-road and in towns. They are perfect for a stroll along woodland trails or on sandy beaches. For instance, the iCandy Core has a wheelbase which is larger than a standard pushchair, and has larger wheels that, according to MFM reviewer Tara, "perform really well on grass, gravel tracks and cobbles from the market town."
All-terrain pushchairs with a good suspension are ideal for long walks, particularly on uneven or bumpy terrain. These pushchairs have larger wheels to allow for off-road travel.

All-terrain buggies can be heavier and bulkier than buggies with four wheels. Make sure they fit in your car boot before you purchase. They are also larger than other pushchairs making them harder to maneuver in narrow aisles and in stores. However, many models fold flat and freestanding when folded - perfect for storage and travelling.
