The lightweight stroller can be combined with the Joie Infant Carrier to make a complete travel set. It's ideal for traveling adventures.
Design
Most people immediately imagine 4-wheeled vehicles when they think of a pushchair, buggy or pram. This could be due to the fact that they have a more stable design and often offer more space for shopping. There are, however, three-wheel models that provide just as much stability with a slightly more manoeuvrable shape.
One of the advantages of a 3 wheel pushchair is their ability to turn quickly and negotiate tight corners. The close proximity to the front wheels provides this extra manoeuvrability, and they're an excellent option for situations where you'll need to navigate obstacles such as high tree roots or kerbs. Some 3-wheel pushchairs come with a locking function so that the front wheel can be locked into position for when you're on a smoother surface.
The majority of travel systems comprise a pushchair which can be attached to a Group 0+ (suitable for babies as young as) car seat. It's that easy! can easily transfer your baby from the car into the pushchair, and back. This is perfect when you're planning on doing a lot of driving and walking with your baby since it eliminates the need for you to take them out and back in again.
Some 3-wheeled pushchairs can be modified to look like 4-wheelers, by adding small 'dummy wheels' on the front. This gives stability and also adds a bit of weight. However the triangular design permits plenty of maneuverability. They are a popular choice for parents who want to use their pushchair on rough terrains in the outdoors and urban streets that are bumpy.
Wheels
The iCandy Orange is a great option for parents looking to take their children with them on the move. It's an all-terrain stroller that is designed to handle the rough terrain of woodland walks as well as gravel roads, and market town cobbles. Its larger wheels enable it to glide across most surfaces. There's also a convenient suspension that bounces over bumps so your child will enjoy a pleasant ride.
The orange pushchair comes with an enormous shopping basket that is both deep and wide which makes it perfect to store all your essentials. It's easy to maneuver and the lock is automatic, which keeps it together when folded. It's not the smallest fold, measuring L:84 x W62 xD29. It's a fairly compact pushchair suitable for either a four-wheeled or three-wheeled model. The iCandy features a self-standing frame, so you don't need to lift or hold the handlebar.
In addition to the front-facing seat included in the box car seat adaptors are also included to transform this into a travel set when you use your infant carrier. It's also compatible with the UPPAbaby carrycot, and can be used with most infant carriers, so it's ideal for parents who want to get up and go.
The handles are fixed at the point that parents can reach them easily. However, we'd like to see a bit more an adjustment in the position of the handlebars, so that shorter parents can get a comfy push also. The handlebar made of foam feels like a bit plastic and cheap though, which can be a little unsettling for some buyers. This is a reasonably priced pushchair, so it's worth considering if you need a three-wheeler or four-wheeler that can handle all terrains.
Storage
There are many storage options to keep you and baby safe on your travels. There's a huge, deep basket under the chassis that has a huge capacity that can accommodate all of your shopping and other items. There's a handy zip pocket on the hood of the pushchair as a place to keep your rain cover and a comfy footmuff too.

All of the iCandy BAGILEs can be fitted with the option of a car seat or a carrycot, making them ideal twin pushchairs that excel in tandem travel. They are easy to fold and store, and can fit into most car boot space. It's a pity that there are no hooks on the handles of the pushchair for you to hang your bag from however that's only a minor gripe.
