The eye-catching Peach 3 Blossom All Terrain pram was the star of the iCandy booth. It is suitable for babies and comes with air-filled tires. It can be folded in one hand.
Manoeuvrability
A 3 wheeled pushchair is the ideal choice for urban environments, where you must navigate through narrow streets or supermarket aisles every day. These models come with swivelling wheels that can be locked for additional stability on non-paved surfaces such as mud and grass. These models also have excellent suspension systems that can withstand the jarring and bumps that occur on uneven surfaces. This will ensure your child a smooth ride, even on rough terrain.
Some pushchairs with three wheels can be operated with only one hand or with minimal effort, making them great for hectic life and for mothers who want to move quickly while keeping their child safe in the seat. Many can be folded with only one hand which makes them easy to fit in the trunk of a car. Some can be folded in such a way that they stand upright, making them easier to transport in public transport.
If you plan to use your buggy outside of urban areas, it is worth choosing a model with air-filled tyres (often called pneumatic tyres) rather than moulded ones. These are great for pavements and paved tracks but will not be able cope well on unpaved ground like grass or mud. If you plan to jog with your child, select a pushchair with a large and highly 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 stunning. It's suitable from birth, with the carrycot that can hold up to 22kg.

Stability
If you're planning to take your pushchair off-road and on rough terrain, the kind of wheels will make an impact. Larger wheels provide better suspension for a smoother ride, and can help you cope with obstacles like kerbs, cobbles, or stones more easily than smaller ones. Certain models also come with a lockable front wheel to give you additional stability when riding on uneven terrain.
Alternatively, you can choose 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 price tag than tyres with air, but they will help you save the cost of replacement tyres as well as the time it takes 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 plan to take your pushchair on rough terrain, or over hilly or uneven surfaces, particularly if you'll be carrying bags or walking through thick mud. Some manufacturers have designed their pushchairs to feature an incline that is closer to the seat to ensure that the weight is not on the rear wheels.
Some models are designed to be used off-road and in towns - ideal for walking through woodland trails or along sandy beaches. For instance, the iCandy Core has a wheelbase that's longer than a regular pushchair and larger wheels that according to MFM reviewer Tara, "perform really well on gravel tracks, grass and market town cobbles."
All-terrain strollers with a good suspension are great for long walks on rough or bumpy terrain. These pushchairs are made with larger wheels that are ideal for off-road use. They also come with suspension and a hand brake on the right side of the frame to ensure that you can't accidentally kick it by kicking it with your foot.
All-terrain buggies are generally heavier and bulkier than buggies with four wheels. Be sure that they'll fit in your car boot prior to you buy. They're also usually bigger than other pushchairs which can make them more difficult to maneuver in tight aisles and spaces in shops. Many models fold up and are freestanding, making them ideal for travel and storage.
