If you love the outdoors, and want to take your little one on muddy parks, woodland walks or strolls down the main streets, a three-wheeled pushchair system is a great option. All-terrain 3-wheel prams are easy to maneuver in tight spaces or on public transport because of their small freestanding folding. Many models let you attach a car seat that is compatible with the model so that your baby can begin their adventure right away.
The popular UPPAbaby Ridge 3-wheel pushchair has impressive all-terrain capabilities with large, foam-filled tyres with suspension to ensure a smooth ride.

Designed to be the lightest 3-wheel all-terrain stroller that is available, the Joie Litetrax pushchair folds down to self-standing fold in just one pull to provide a space-saving easy solution. The lightweight stroller can be combined with the Joie Infant Carrier to make an entire travel set. It's the perfect choice for traveling explorations.
Design
When you think of a pushchair, pram or buggy, you can say that the majority of people will immediately think of models with four wheels. This could be due to the fact that they sport an easier to maneuver design and often offer a bigger shopping basket. However, there are also 3-wheel options that offer as much stability but an easier to maneuver.
The ability to quickly turn around corners and maneuver them is an excellent benefit of 3 wheel pushchair s. This additional maneuverability is made possible due to the close proximity of the front and rear wheels. They are a great choice for situations in which you will be navigating obstacles like high kerbs and tree roots. Certain 3-wheeled pushchairs feature the option of locking the front wheel in place when you're on a smoother surface.
The majority of travel systems consist of a pushchair that can snap on to a car seat (suitable from birth). This means you'll be in a position to transfer your baby from the car to the pushchair and back without disruption - it's as simple as that! This is a great option if you are going to be driving and walking with your baby a lot.
Some 3-wheeled pushchairs can be made to appear like 4-wheelers by adding small 'dummy wheels' at the front. This provides stability and a little more weight, but the triangular shape allows for plenty of manoeuvrability. These are popular with parents who want to take their pushchairs out on rough roads or bumpy terrains.
Wheels
The iCandy Orange pushchair is a great choice for parents who want to take their child or children with them. It's an all-terrain stroller made to handle woodland walks, gravel roads and market town cobbles. The larger wheels allow it to glide effortlessly across all surfaces. It also has a handy suspension that bounces over bumps so your child will enjoy a relaxing ride.
The orange pushchair comes with an enormous shopping basket that is both deep and wide which makes it perfect for storing your essentials. It's a very easy pushchair to move around and has an automatic lock that holds it in place when folding it down. It's not the smallest fold, measuring L:84 x W62 xD29. But it's still a fairly compact pushchair that can be used for the three- or four-wheeled model. The iCandy comes with a self-standing frame, meaning you don't have to lift or hold the handlebar.
In addition to an all-weather seat it comes with car seat adaptors in the box to turn this into a travel system using your infant's carrier of preference. It's also compatible with the UPPAbaby cot and is compatible with most infant carriers, so it's perfect for 'get-up-and-go' parents.
Its handles are fixed at a height tall enough for most parents to reach comfortably. We'd like to have a bit more of a variation in the position of the handlebars, so that shorter parents can get a comfy push too. The handlebar is like a bit plastic and cheap however, which could be a bit unsettling for some buyers. This is a reasonably priced pushchair, and is worth considering if you need a four-wheeler or three-wheeler capable of handling all terrains.
Stores
There are plenty of storage options for you and your child to use on your trips. There's a large deep basket underneath the chassis with a great capacity to hold all your groceries and extra bits. On the pushchair's hood there is a handy pocket with zipper, a place to store your raincover and an earmuff.
Turning this easy-breezy pushchair into the ideal travel system is easy. The clever design of iCandy lets you can simply plug in a car seat or carrycot into the pre-made adaptor sockets that are on the hub that folds and you're ready to go.
For older siblings there's an optional Ride-on Board which can be easily tucked away in the back of the basket, they'll love climbing on the back to be closer to their brother while you're out and about. If they're on the taller side, the handle can be adjusted between the 98 and 108 cm.
All iCandy b-AGILEs can be fitted with a car seat, or carrycot. This makes them great pushchairs that can be used in tandem. They are easy to fold and store, and they can fit in most car boot space. It's a shame that there's no hooks on the pushchair handles to hang your bag from, but that's an issue that's minor.
Comfort
A quality pushchair will provide a pleasant ride for your child and a well-designed travel system can provide you with plenty of convenience features to make your life as a parent easier. The Quinny Buzz stroller and car seat combo, for example, has an intelligent fold-away mechanism that can be opened to create an extremely versatile pushchair. It's ideal for family outings as it can be tailored to include a cozy bassinet and a comfy car seat.
If you are a parent looking for an all-terrain stroller, UPPAbaby's Ridge has some impressive features that will allow you to take your infant or toddler out on woodland walks and even run jogging when they are old enough (with the inclusion of a jogger adapter). These include large foam-filled tyres with excellent suspension as well as an adjustable 360 swivel locking front wheel, along with plenty of storage space, a movable handlebar and a fold-up that is simple to use one hand.
Alternatively, a Maxi-Cosi 3-in-1 travel system gives you the best of both with its simple click-on connection between your car seat and pushchair. The Maxi-Cosi Mico car seat and the matching pushchair are specifically designed to ensure your baby's comfort and the sleek frame can help you keep up with their pace.
