Taking centre stage on the iCandy stand was the attractive Peach 3 Blossom all terrain pram. It is suitable from birth and comes with a set of air-filled tyres, as well as an easy one-hand fold.
Manoeuvrability
A 3 wheeled pushchair is a great option for urban environments where you must navigate through narrow streets or aisles of supermarkets every day. The front wheels that swivel on these models can be locked to add stability on surfaces that are not paved such as grass and mud. These models also come with superb suspension systems that absorb the jarring and bumps that occur on uneven surfaces to give your baby a comfortable ride, even on rough terrain.
Some pushchairs that have 3 wheels can be operated with only one hand or with minimal effort, making them perfect for busy life and for mothers who want to keep moving quickly while keeping their baby secure in the seat. Some can be folded with just one hand making them easy to fit in the car's boot. Some can be folded in such a way they can stand upright making them easier to transport on public transportation.
If you intend to use your buggy outside of urban areas, it's important to choose a model that has air-filled tyres (often called pneumatic tyres) instead of moulded ones, which are fine for pavements and paved tracks but won't be able to cope well on unpaved ground such as grass or mud. If you plan to run with your baby then opt for an all-terrain pushchair that features a large, well maneuverable front wheel.
Maxi-Cosi's Peach 3 Blossom in silver is a stylish, 3-wheeled stroller that can be used on any terrain. It also looks stunning.

Stability
If you're planning to take your pushchair off the road and onto rough terrain, the kind of wheels will make an impact. Larger wheels offer better suspension for a smoother ride. They can also aid you in dealing with obstacles like kerbs, stones or cobbles more easily than smaller ones. Certain models come with wheels that lock on the front to provide extra stability when riding on uneven terrain.
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 cost than air-filled tyres, but they will save you the expense of replacing tyres, as well as time waiting for them to be replaced at an auto garage or service station.
If you plan to take your pushchair on rough terrain, or on hilly or uneven surfaces, a single wheel in the front might be a problem. This is especially the case in the case of carrying heavy bags or walking through dirt. Some manufacturers have designed their pushchairs to feature a centre-of-gravity that is located closer to the seat in order to keep the weight off the rear wheels.
Certain models can be used off-road and in town. They're great for a stroll along woodland trails or on sandy beaches. The iCandy Core, for example, has a longer wheelbase than a standard pushchair and bigger wheels that according to MFM's Tara, "perform well on grass, gravel roads and market town cobbles."
All-terrain pushchairs with good suspension are ideal for long walks, particularly on uneven or bumpy terrain. They're typically designed with larger rear and front wheels to cope with off-road travel, aswell having suspension and a hand-operated brake on the right-hand side of the frame that isn't likely to be kicked by your foot as you walk.

However, many models fold flat and freestanding when collapsed - ideal for storage and travelling.
