Perfect for bumpy terrain, 3-wheel pushchairs have one large wheel at the back and two smaller ones at the front, making them simple to manoeuvre. These strollers are often equipped with adaptors for car seats, so you can easily turn them into an e-travel set.
This stroller that is all-in-one is ideal for toddlers and newborns. It comes with an infant car seat that is suitable for infants in the group 0+. It's also affordable and has plenty of child-friendly features, such as a large basket and front and rear access to storage.
Here are a few examples of
A 3-wheel pushchair is a great option for those who love the outdoors and would like to take your child on walks through the woods or muddy parks, or even strolls along the high street. All-terrain 3-wheel prams are easily maneuverable in tight spaces or on public transport due to their small freestanding folding. Many models let you attach a car seat that is compatible with the model so that your baby can begin the adventure from the moment they arrive.
The UPPAbaby 3-wheel Ridge pushchair an extremely popular model that provides amazing all-terrain capabilities. It features large, foam-filled tyres that have suspension for a smooth ride. This model comes with a range of parent-friendly features, including an adjustable handbar that can be adjusted in height, a soft parent tray with 2 cup holders, as well as front and back access baskets.

The lightweight stroller can be combined with the Joie Infant Carrier to make an entire travel set. It's perfect for those out and about explorations.
Design
When you think of a pram, pushchair or buggy, it's safe think that most people immediately think of 4-wheel models. This could be due to the fact that they are more stable and offer more space for shopping. There are also 3-wheel options that provide the same stability, but with a slightly more movable shape.
The ability to turn quickly around corners and maneuver them is an excellent benefit of 3 wheel pushchairs. pushchair 3 wheels to the front wheels gives them this extra maneuverability and they're a great option in situations where you'll have to negotiate obstacles like high tree roots or kerbs. Some 3-wheeled pushchairs come with an locking feature that locks the front wheel in place when you are on a smoother surface.
The majority of travel systems consist of a pushchair that can snap on to a Group 0+ car seat (suitable from birth). This means that you'll be able to move your baby from the car to the pushchair and back again without causing any disruption - it's as simple as that! This is great if you're going to be doing a lot of driving and walking with your baby since it eliminates the need for you to take them out and back in again.
There are even 3-wheel pushchairs that behave like 4-wheelers, with small "dummy" wheels located at the front of the frame. This adds stability, and a bit more weight. However the triangular design allows for plenty manoeuvrability. These are popular among parents who wish to push their children on rough surfaces or on bumpy city streets.
Wheels
The iCandy Orange is a great option for parents looking to take a couple of children on the go. It's a pushchair that can be used all-terrain to go on walks through woodlands as well as gravel tracks and town cobbles. Its larger wheels enable it to glide smoothly across all surfaces. There's also a handy suspension that bounces on bumps so your child will have a comfortable journey.
The orange pushchair features an enormous shopping basket that is both large and deep and is ideal for storing your essentials. It's a surprisingly easy pushchair to maneuver, and it has an automatic lock that keeps it in place when you fold it down. It's not the most compact fold, measuring L:84 x W62 x D29, but it's relatively compact for a 3 or four wheel pushchair. The iCandy also comes with a self-standing frame, so you can set it down without having to grip the handlebar or pull it up.
As well as an all-weather seat, there are car seat adaptors that come in the box that can turn it into a travel system with your infant carrier of choice. It's also compatible with the UPPAbaby carrycot and can be used with all infant carriers, so it's ideal for parents who are always on the move.
The handles are set to an appropriate height so that most parents can comfortably reach them. We'd prefer to see more variety in the position of the handlebars, to allow parents who are shorter also have a more comfortable push. The foam handlebar does feel like a bit plastic and cheap however, which could be a little unsettling for certain buyers. It's a reasonably priced pushchair though, so it's worth a look if you require a four- or three-wheeler that can handle all terrains.
Stores
There are many storage options to keep you and your baby safe on your travels. There's a huge, deep basket under the chassis that has a huge capacity to hold all of your shopping and other bits. There's a handy zip pocket on the pushchair hood to store your rain cover and a comfy footmuff too.
It's simple to convert this lightweight pushchair into an entire travel system. iCandy's clever design means that you simply click the car seat or carrycot into the pre-made adaptor sockets that are on the hub that folds and you're good to go.
For older children, there's an optional Ride-on Board which can be easily tucked away in the back of the basket. They'll enjoy climbing up the back to be closer to their brother when you're out and out and about. If they're taller the handle made of foam can be adjusted between the 98cm and 108cm.
All iCandy b-AGILEs can be equipped with a car seat, or carrycot. This makes them great tandem pushchairs. They fold easily and store, and can be tucked away in the majority of car boot spaces. There aren't any hooks available to hang your bag on the pushchair handles, but it's not a major complaint.
Comfort
A good pushchair will provide an enjoyable ride for your child. A well-designed travel system offers you many convenience features that can simplify your life as a parent. Quinny Buzz, for instance is a stroller/car seat combination that has an automatic fold. It transforms into a pushchair with various features. It's perfect for family trips, as it can be tailored to include a cozy bassinet and a comfortable car seat.
