3 Wheel Pushchairs
The 3 Wheel Pushchair is an excellent option for parents who are constantly on the move. These strollers are designed for ease of mobility, whether you're walking through busy city streets or narrow aisles of a supermarket.
The eye-catching Peach 3 Blossom All Terrain pram was the highlight of the iCandy booth. Suitable from birth, it comes with a set of air-filled tyres, as well as an easy fold in one hand.
Manoeuvrability
A 3-wheeled pushchair is the ideal option for urban environments where you must navigate through narrow streets or aisles of supermarkets on a regular basis. These models come with swivelling wheels that can be locked for extra stability on surfaces that are not paved like grass and mud. These models come with excellent suspension systems to absorb the bumps of uneven surfaces, and ensure your baby a smooth ride even on rough terrain.
Some pushchairs with three wheels can be operated with just the one hand or with a minimum effort, making them great for hectic lifestyles and for mums who need to move quickly, while keeping their child safe in the seat. Some can be folded with just one hand which makes them easy to put in the car's boot. Some can even stand when folded, which makes them more convenient to carry on public transportation.
If you will use your buggy outside of urban areas, it's recommended to select a model with air-filled tyres (often called pneumatic tyres) rather than moulded ones. They are suitable for paved tracks and pavements but won't be able to be able to handle unpaved terrain such as grass or mud. If you intend to run with your child, pick a pushchair with a large and movable front wheel.
For a stylish 3-wheeled pram that you can take on any terrain and that also looks professional, look no further than the sleek, silver-coloured Peach 3 Blossom from Maxi-Cosi. It is suitable for babies from birth, and comes with a carrycot, and can be used up to 22kg. It comes with air-filled tires, a one-hand folding mechanism and three recline positions. It's also available in a variety of colors to meet all tastes and budgets.
Stability
If you're taking your pushchair off-road and onto rough terrain, the type of wheels will make an impact. Larger wheels provide more suspension for a more comfortable ride, and can help you cope with obstacles like kerbs cobbles or stones more easily than smaller ones. Some models also have a lockable front wheel that can give you additional stability on uneven ground.
You can also choose a pushchair with foam-filled never-flat tyres. 3 wheeled pushchair are more puncture-resistant than regular rubber tyres. These may have a slightly more expensive price than tyres with air, 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 wheel on the front can be a problem if you plan to take your pushchair over rough terrain or over steep or uneven surfaces, particularly when you'll be carrying heavy bags or walking through a thick mud. Some manufacturers address this issue by designing their pushchairs with an incline that's located closer to the seat, to distribute the weight evenly over the rear wheels.
Certain models are designed to be used off-road, as well as in towns - ideal for walking along wooded trails or on sandy beaches. The iCandy Core, for example, has a longer wheelbase than a standard pushchair and wheels that are larger, which, according to MFM's Tara, "perform well on grass, gravel roads and cobbles from the market town."
All-terrain pushchairs that have good suspension are ideal for long walks, particularly on uneven or bumpy terrain. They're usually designed with larger front and rear wheels to cope with off-road travel, as well with suspension and a brake operated by hand on the right-hand side of the frame so that it will not be kicked accidentally by your foot while you walk along.
All-terrain buggies are generally heavier and bulkier than buggies with four wheels. Make sure they fit in your car boot prior to you purchase. They're also usually bigger than other pushchairs which makes them more difficult to manoeuvre in narrow aisles in shops and other spaces. Many models are foldable and freestanding, which makes them ideal for storage and travel.
Versatility
Whether you're taking your little one out on a stroll in the park, or completing through town for errands, there is sure to be a 3 wheel model that is suitable for your lifestyle and travel requirements. Because of their excellent maneuverability they are easy to maneuver and navigate in tight spaces. This makes it easier to go out and about with your child.

These types typically have larger wheels with deep treads to tackle tougher environments and give a more comfortable experience for your baby.
