Three Wheeler Pushchairs
If you're a parent who loves to jog or searching for a stroller that is able to handle a variety of terrains, three wheeler pushchairs are an excellent choice. They are easy to move around and fold up neatly to store or transport.
They are easy to maneuver in tight spaces, and supermarket corners can be a breeze with their swivel wheel on the front. Make sure you choose models that have air-filled tyres to take on tracks and bumpy pavements.
Strollers
There's a wide selection of strollers on the market that are designed to meet different needs. Some are designed for multiple infants (twins or with a tiny age gap), others are suitable for singletons and others are designed to accommodate children as young as of four years. Many of them have safety guidelines that must be followed for example, a child seat or carrycot must be secured and must not be more than 20cm from the edge of the frame.
Three wheel pushchairs typically have a single wheel on the front, making them more manoeuvrable than other models. This makes them perfect for narrow aisles or streets in shops where space is at a premium. Consider a stroller that is all-terrain when you intend to use it in different settings. They're built with tough tyres that are able to deal with bumps and rough terrain more easily than standard strollers. Some strollers have suspensions that make the ride more comfortable.
Some all-terrain buggies are also designed to be used as jogging buggies. This is a great choice for parents who wish to exercise and take their children on a brisk stroll or run. These pushchairs typically have a larger frame and tyres than a regular stroller, and they can have features like the handbrake or a movable handlebar.
If you plan to jog with your stroller, consider taking a test drive to see how you feel about the ride and how it's easy to manage. You'll need to decide if you prefer air-filled or foam-filled tyres. Air-filled tyres tend to be more durable, but they are also prone to punctures and you'll need to have a repair kit with you.
For a stylish and versatile option, look at the new 3-wheel pushchairs from iCandy. These all-terrain pushchairs come with excellent features, including suspension and puncture-proof tires.

Joggers
If you're a running enthusiast (or buggy runner) or are planning to become a jogger, you'll require a 3-wheeler pushchair specifically designed for jogging. These pushchairs have larger wheels than standard strollers, and a special suspension to cope with bumps and uneven sidewalks. They are also generally larger and heavier, making them less suitable for daily use unless you intend to take a stroll or go for an occasional run.

All-terrain
All-terrain prams are an excellent choice if you enjoy taking a walk off the beaten track, live in rural areas, or would like to run with your child. The best all-terrain pushchairs will have big, rugged wheels that can withstand bumpy ground and have a good suspension to make the journey more comfortable for your baby.
They're generally larger than standard pushchairs and can be heavy to fit into your car boot. They are also pricier than other pushchairs, so do bear this in mind when you are shopping.
Look for a model with a handlebar that can be adjusted in height, which will help when you and your companion have different heights. You should also consider whether you want a wrist strap that reduces the chance of it rolling off on sloping ground or slipping over hills. Some models have a fixed wheel at the front, which is more stable when you're jogging. Some models come with an swivel wheel that can be locked to make it easier to move over uneven surfaces.
The type of tyre you choose is also important. Many all-terrain pushchairs use air-filled tyres. They provide a smooth ride but can puncture easily. Some come with a foam or gel-filled tyre, which are less prone to puncture, but can increase the weight of the pushchair.
A good all-terrain stroller will have a large basket that is ideal to carry your baby's food. Some have a compact, one-handed fold, which makes it easy to store when not in use. Often, they will also include a footmuff and raincover.
One of our favourite all-terrain pushchairs is the Mamas & Papas Ocarro, which was awarded a Mother and Baby Gold Award for 2017. The dual suspension can handle rough terrain and will allow you to take your baby on all-terrain walks and even go jogging with it (once your child is old enough). It is suitable from birth, includes a fully reclined seat, and can be used as a travel system that includes an infant car seat or carrycot attached.
Folding
Many of the most well-known pushchairs fold. They are smaller in your home and are also easier to fit in the car's boot which is ideal when you're in a tight space or have a tiny car boot or are planning to travel a lot as families.
There are a variety of fold styles, so you need to look for one that fits your lifestyle and needs. For example, some of the latest buggy models feature a revolutionary auto-fold that folds down on its own with a simple pressing. This lets you hold your baby as well as other children or bags with both hands. It's also great for parents who have back issues or are recovering from C-sections.
Other models are designed to fold more traditionally and with the seat in place, which means they'll be a little bulkier and won't be as comfortable to fit in your boot or car. Some of these will also require a couple of hands to fold, which could be a problem if are holding onto your child.
If you're looking for a simple umbrella fold or a more complex mechanism, it's worth checking that the model you pick will be able to deal with the terrain you'll be riding on. For instance, if you're going to be on a lot of cobblestones or gravel tracks, make sure the wheels are made from air-filled tyres that will provide a more comfortable ride for your child.
If you'll be using your pushchair mostly on pavements and paved roads the majority of three-wheelers come with moulded wheels that give your baby an enjoyable ride. If you're taking your little one off-road or on rough ground choose an option that comes with a set of movable or quick-release front wheel to help keep your pushing kit looking its best.
