Design

When you think of a pram, pushchair or buggy, you can think that most people immediately think of 4-wheel models. This could be due to the fact that they sport a more stable design and usually come with a bigger shopping basket. However, there are also three-wheel models that provide just as much stability with an easier to maneuver.

The ability to turn quickly around corners and maneuver them is an excellent benefit of 3 wheel pushchairs. This extra maneuverability is provided by the close proximity of the front and rear wheels. They are an excellent option in situations where you'll be dealing with obstacles such as high kerbs or tree roots. Some 3-wheel pushchairs also have locks to ensure that the front wheel can be locked in place for when you're on smoother ground.

Some 3-wheeled pushchairs can be made to appear like 4-wheelers by adding small 'dummy wheels' at the front. This provides stability, and a bit more weight. However the triangular shape allows for plenty of maneuverability. These are a popular option for parents who wish to push their child on rocky outdoor terrains and bumpy urban streets.

Wheels

The iCandy Orange pushchair is a ideal choice for parents who want to take their child with them.

In addition to being a world-facing seat, there are car seat adaptors in the box that can turn the seat into a travel set-up with your infant carrier of choice. It's also compatible with the carrycot of UPPAbaby, and is compatible with a variety of infant carriers.

The handles are fixed to the point that parents are able to reach them. However, we'd like see a bit more a range in the position of the handlebar to ensure that parents with shorter arms can get a comfy push also.

Storage

There are many storage options for you and your baby to enjoy on your travels.

They'll love climbing on the back to be closer to their siblings when you're out and about. And if they're on the taller side, the handle made of foam has an adjustable height between 98 and 108cm.

All iCandy b-AGILEs can be equipped with a car seat, or carrycot. This makes them ideal tandem pushchairs. The small fold makes them a breeze to carry around and the ability to fit easily into the boot of a majority of automobiles means that you won't struggle for space. There are no hooks to hang your bag from the handles of your pushchair, but it's not a major complaint.
