3 Wheel Pushchairs
The 3 Wheel Pushchair is an excellent option for parents who are always in motion. These strollers are designed for ease of movement, whether you're navigating through busy streets or narrow store aisles.
The main attraction on the iCandy stand was the striking Peach 3 Blossom all terrain pram. The pram is suitable for babies 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 have to navigate through narrow streets or aisles in supermarkets on a daily basis. The front wheels that swivel on these models can be locked to add stability for non-paved surfaces like mud and grass. These models also come with superb suspension systems that absorb the jarring and bumps that occur on uneven surfaces. This will ensure your child a smooth ride even on rough terrain.
Some pushchairs with 3 wheels can be steered using only one hand, or with minimal effort making them perfect for busy lifestyles and for mums who want to keep moving quickly while keeping their baby snug in the seat. They can be folded with just one hand, making them easy to squeeze into the trunk of your car. Some can even stand when folded, making them more convenient to carry on public transportation.
If you plan to use your pushchair 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 fine for pavements and paved tracks but will not be able to be able to handle unpaved terrain such as grass or mud. If you plan to jog with your child, select a pushchair with a large and easily maneuverable front wheel.
Maxi-Cosi's Peach 3 Blossom in silver is a chic, 3-wheel stroller that is able to be used on any terrain. It also looks fantastic. The ideal baby stroller with the carrycot, and up to 22kg, it features air-filled tyres, a quick one-hand fold and 3 recline positions. It's also available in a variety of colours to suit all tastes and budgets.
Stability
If you'll be taking your pushchair off-road and onto rough terrain, the type of wheels will make a difference. Larger wheels offer greater suspension to give you a smoother ride and may help you cope with obstacles such as kerbs, cobbles or stones more easily than smaller ones. Some models also feature a lockable front wheel to give you additional stability on uneven ground.
If you prefer, you can opt for a pushchair that is filled with foam, never-flat tyres which are more puncture-resistant than regular rubber tyres. These may have a slightly higher price tag than tyres filled with air, however they will help you save the expense of replacing tyres, as well as time waiting for them to be replaced at an auto garage or service station.
If you intend to take your pushchair on rough terrain or on uneven or hilly surfaces, a single wheel in the front might be a problem. This is especially true when you're carrying heavy bags or walking through dirt. Some manufacturers have overcome this issue by designing their pushchairs with a centre of gravity that's situated closer to the seat, to keep the weight over the rear wheels.
Certain models are designed to be used off-road, as well as in towns, making them ideal for walking along woodland trails or across sandy beaches. For example the iCandy Core has a wheelbase that is longer than a standard pushchair and larger wheels that according to MFM reviewer Tara, "perform really well on grass, gravel tracks and cobbles from the market town."
All-terrain pushchairs with good suspension are ideal for long walks, particularly on uneven or bumpy terrain. They're usually designed with larger rear and front wheels to cope with off-road terrain, as well as 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 as you walk.
All-terrain buggies can be heavier and bulkier than four-wheeled buggies. Be sure that they'll fit into your car boot before you buy. They are also larger than other pushchairs making them difficult to maneuver through narrow aisles and in shops. Many models are foldable and freestanding, which makes them perfect for storage and travel.
