Design
Most people immediately think of 4-wheel models when they think of a buggy, pushchair or pram. It could be because they are more stable and offer more space for shopping. There are also 3-wheel options that provide the same stability, but with a slightly more maneuverable shape.
The ability to turn quickly around corners and navigate them is an excellent advantage of 3-wheel pushchairs. The close proximity to the front pair of wheels allows for this extra maneuverability, and they're a good option for situations where you'll have to negotiate obstacles such as high kerbs or tree roots. Some 3-wheeled pushchairs come with a locking feature that locks the front wheel in place while you're on smoother terrain.
The majority of travel systems comprise a pushchair which can be attached to a Group 0+ car seat (suitable from birth). This means you'll be able to transfer your baby from the car to the pushchair and back again without disruption - it's as easy as that! This is ideal when you're planning on doing a lot of driving and walking with your baby as it removes the need for you to take your child out and then bring them back again.
There are three wheel pushchair -wheel pushchairs which behave like 4-wheelers, using small "dummy" wheels placed on the front of the frame. This adds stability and weight, yet the triangular shape still allows for plenty of manoeuvrability. These are popular with parents who want to take their pushchairs out on rough surfaces or on bumpy city streets.
Wheels
The iCandy Orange pushchair is a ideal option for parents who wish to take their child or children with them. It's an all-terrain pushchair designed to go on walks through woodlands, gravel tracks and market town cobbles. Its larger wheels also allow it to glide effortlessly across most surfaces and there's an excellent suspension that bounces over bumps, so your child will be able to enjoy a smooth ride.
The orange pushchair features a large shopping basket that's both wide and deep, making it ideal for storing all your essentials. It's a simple pushchair to move around and has an automatic lock that keeps it in place when folding it down. It's not the smallest fold with L:84 x D62 x D29, but it's still relatively compact for a 3 or four wheel pushchair. The iCandy comes with a self-standing frame, meaning you don't have to lift or hold the handlebar.
In addition to being a world-facing seat it comes with car seat adaptors included in the box that can turn this into a travel system using your infant's carrier of preference. It is also compatible with UPPAbaby's carrycot, and can be used with various infant carriers.
The handles are fixed at the point that parents can comfortably reach them. We'd prefer to see more variety in the handlebar positions so that shorter parents could also have a more comfortable push. The handlebar is like a bit plastic and cheap however, which could be a bit off-putting for certain buyers. It's a reasonably priced pushchair, and it's worth a look if you need a three or four-wheeler capable of handling any terrain.
Storage
There are plenty of storage options to keep you and your baby entertained on your journeys. There's a big deep basket underneath the chassis with a great capacity that can accommodate all your groceries and extra bits. On the hood of the pushchair there is a handy pocket with zipper, a place to store your raincover, and an earmuff.
Converting this easy-to-use pushchair into the perfect travel system is easy. The clever design of iCandy lets you can simply plug in an automobile seat or a carrycot into the ready-made adaptor sockets that are on the hub's folding mechanism and you're set to go.
The Ride-on board is a great option for older siblings. It is a perfect fit behind the basket. They'll love climbing on to be closer to the sibling while you're out. If they're on the larger side, the foam handle has an adjustable height between the 98 and 108 cm.
All iCandy b-AGILEs can be fitted with a car seat or carrycot. This makes them ideal tandem pushchairs. They are easy to fold and store, and they can fit in the majority of car boot space. It's a shame that there's no hooks on the pushchair handles for you to hang your bag from however, that's a minor gripe.
Comfort
A good pushchair will provide a comfortable ride to your child. A well-designed travel system comes with a variety of features that make your life easier as a parent. The Quinny Buzz stroller and car seat, for example, has an intelligent fold-away mechanism that can be opened to create an extremely versatile pushchair. With the option of carrying a comfortable car seat and cozy bassinet, plus various accessories for personalization, it's ideal for all family adventures.
UPPAbaby's Ridge is a great option for parents who are looking for a pushchair that can be used on any terrain.
