3 Wheel Pushchairs
3 Wheel Pushchairs offer an efficient solution for parents who are on the move. These strollers are designed for ease of mobility, whether you're walking through busy streets or narrow store aisles.
Taking centre stage on the iCandy stand was the attractive Peach 3 Blossom all-terrain pram. It is suitable for babies and comes with air-filled tires. It can be folded in one hand.
Manoeuvrability
A three-wheel pushchair is a great choice for urban environments where manoeuvring through narrow streets and tight supermarket aisles is a regular part of your daily routine. These models have swivelling wheels that can be locked to provide extra stability on surfaces that are not paved like grass and mud. These models also have excellent suspension systems that can withstand the bumps and jarring of uneven surfaces to give your baby a comfortable ride, even on rough terrain.
Some 3-wheel pushchairs can be maneuvered using just one hand or with a minimum effort. This is ideal for busy moms and for those who need to move quickly, while keeping their child secure in the seat. They are often folded in one hand, making them easy to fit in the boot of your car. Some can be folded in such a way they can stand upright making them more convenient to carry on public transport.
If you will use your buggy outside of urban areas, it is recommended to select a model with air-filled tyres (often called pneumatic tyres) rather than moulded ones, which are great for pavements and paved tracks but won't be able to cope well on unpaved ground like mud or grass. If you intend to do some jogging with your child, go for a pushchair with all-terrain capabilities that features a large, well maneuverable front wheel.
For a stylish, 3-wheeled stroller that you can take on any terrain and also looks the business, look no further than the sleek, silver-coloured Peach 3 Blossom from Maxi-Cosi. It's suitable for babies from birth, and comes with a carrycot, and 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 kind of wheels will make an impact. Larger wheels provide greater suspension to give you a smoother ride, and can assist you in navigating obstacles like kerbs, stones or cobbles more easily than smaller ones. Some models also feature an option to lock the front wheel to give you extra stability when riding on uneven terrain.
You can also opt for a pushchair that is filled with foam, never-flat tyres that are more resistant to punctures than standard rubber tyres. They might have a higher cost than tyres with air, but they will save you the cost of replacement tyres and time spent waiting for them to be replaced at the garage or at a service station.
A single wheel on the front can be a problem if you intend to take your pushchair on rough terrain, or over hilly or uneven surfaces, especially when you'll be carrying heavy bags or walking through thick mud. Some manufacturers have designed their pushchairs to feature a centre of gravity that is closer to the seat to ensure that the weight is not on the rear wheels.
Some models can be used both off-road and in towns. They are perfect for walking through woodland trails or along sandy beaches. The iCandy Core, for example has a wider wheelbase than a standard pushchair, and bigger wheels that according to MFM's Tara, "perform well on grass, gravel roads and cobbles from the market town."
All-terrain strollers that have good suspension are ideal for long walks on rough or bumpy terrain. They're usually equipped with larger rear and front wheels to cope with off-road travel, as well having suspension and a hand-operated brake on the right-hand side of the frame, so that it isn't likely to be kicked by your foot while you walk.
All-terrain pushchairs are often larger and heavier than four-wheeled buggies, so check they'll fit into your car's boot prior to buying. They're also usually wider than other pushchairs, which can make them more difficult to maneuver through narrow spaces and aisles in shops. Many models are foldable and freestanding, which makes them perfect for travel and storage.
Versatility
Whether you're taking your baby for a stroll in the park, or taking to the shops, there is sure to be a 3 wheel model that will suit your lifestyle and needs for travel. These models are simple to maneuver in tight spaces because of their exceptional maneuverability.
If you are more active and enjoy running take a look at a 3-wheeler stroller with a suspension system that will absorb the shock and vibration of uneven surfaces. This type of pushchair gives an easy ride so that your child can rest and take in the scenery.
All terrain pushchairs with 3-wheels are a great choice for those who love the outdoors as they are able to navigate through sandy beaches and gravel roads. These models are equipped with bigger wheels and more treads that can handle tougher environments. They also provide the most comfortable ride for your baby.
Most well-known for their car seats, Maxi-Cosi have recently launched a brand new all-terrain pushchair called Stella that they describe as "a travel system that follows you as an extension of your own". This buggy is for those who enjoy living in the middle of the road. It is a distinctive design with pewter-black aluminum accents, and a quick one-hand folding mechanism. The forward and rear seats can fold in one move.

These pushchairs feature sleek, modern design and sporty feel. They are great for parents who want to take their child out for errands with fashion.
