Features
A 3-wheel pushchair is a great choice for those who love the outdoors and want to take your child on walks in the woods or muddy parks, or even strolls along the high-street. All-terrain 3-wheel prams can be easily maneuverable in tight spaces or on public transport thanks to their small, freestanding folding. Many models allow you to attach a car seat compatible with the model so that your baby can start their journey right away.

This lightweight stroller is paired with the Joie Infant Carrier to create a complete set for travel. It's ideal for on the go adventure.
Design
The majority of people think of 4-wheel models when they think of a pushchair, buggy or pram. This could be due to the fact that they sport a more stable design and typically come with a bigger shopping basket. There are also 3-wheel options which offer the same stability but with a slightly more movable shape.
One of the advantages of a 3-wheel pushchair is their ability to turn quickly and negotiate tight corners. The close proximity of the front wheel provides this extra manoeuvrability, and they're an excellent option in situations where you'll be navigating obstacles like high kerbs or tree roots. Some 3-wheel pushchairs also have a locking function to ensure that the front wheel can be locked in place for when you're on smoother ground.
The majority of travel systems comprise a pushchair which can be slid on to a Group 0+ car seat (suitable from birth). This means that you'll be able to move your child from the car to the pushchair, and then back without any hassle - it's simple as that! This is ideal if you're going to be doing a lot of driving and walking with your baby as it eliminates the need for you to take them out and back in again.
There are a few 3-wheel pushchairs that behave like 4-wheelers, with small "dummy" wheels placed on the front of the frame. This adds stability, and also adds a bit of weight. However the triangular design permits plenty of maneuverability. These are popular with parents who wish to push their children on rough terrains or bumpy city streets.
Wheels
The iCandy Orange pushchair is a excellent choice for parents looking to take their children or their child with them. It's an all-terrain pushchair designed to be used on woodland walks as well as gravel tracks and town cobbles. The larger wheels allow it to glide effortlessly across most surfaces and there's an excellent suspension that bounces over bumps, so your child will have a comfortable ride.
The orange pushchair has an enormous shopping basket that's both deep and wide and is ideal for storing all your essentials. It's a surprisingly easy pushchair to move around and has an automatic lock that keeps it together when you fold it down. It's not the most compact fold, with dimensions of L:84 xW62 29 inches. However, it's a pretty compact pushchair for either a four-wheeled or three-wheeled model. The iCandy has a self standing frame, so you don't need to lift or hold the handlebar.
In addition to being a seat that is world-facing There are car seat adaptors that come in the box that can turn this into a travel system with the infant carrier of your choice. It's also compatible with the UPPAbaby carrycot and is compatible with most infant carriers, making it perfect for 'get-up-and-go' parents.
The handles are fixed at an appropriate height so that most parents are able to reach them. We'd prefer to see more range in the position of the handlebars, so that parents with shorter arms could also enjoy a comfortable push. The handlebar is a little cheap and plasticky though, which can be a bit unsettling for some buyers. It's a cheap pushchair, and it's worth considering if you require a four- or three-wheeler capable of handling all terrains.
Storage
There are many storage options to keep you and your baby happy on your travels. There's a large, deep basket under the chassis that has a huge capacity to hold all your groceries and other items. There's also a handy zipped pocket on the pushchair hood, a place for storing your raincover and a cosy footmuff as well.
Turning this easy-breezy pushchair into the ideal travel system is a breeze. The clever design of the iCandy lets you insert an automobile or carrycot into the adaptor sockets that are already attached to the hub that folds.
For older children, there's an optional Ride-on Board that fits neatly in the back of the basket. They'll love climbing on the back to be closer to their siblings when you're out and about. If they're on the larger side, the foam handle has an adjustable height between 98 and 108cm.
All of the iCandy B-AGILEs can be fitted with a car seat or carrycot, making them ideal twin pushchairs that excel in tandem travel. The small fold makes them a breeze to stow away, and the ability to fit easily into the boot of many cars means that you'll never have to fight for space. It's a shame that there's no hooks on the pushchair handles for you to hang your bag from however, that's a minor gripe.
Comfort
A good pushchair should offer a comfortable ride for your child and a good travel system can provide you with numerous convenience features that will make your life as a parent easier. Quinny Buzz for instance has a stroller/car seats combination that features an automatic fold. It transforms into a pushchair with many features. 3 wheeled buggy for family trips, as it can be customized to include a comfortable bassinet and a comfy car seat.
UPPAbaby's Ridge is a great option for parents looking for an infant stroller that can be used on any terrain.
