Cam Cortina X3 Tris Evolution
The Cam Cortina X3 Tris Evolution is a popular three-wheel stroller system. The large air-filled tires can handle even rough terrain. The chassis with suspension ensures a smooth ride. The seat is fully reversible and can be reclined flat. Reclining the backrest automatically raises the leg rest. The footrest can be adjusted by rotating and can thus lengthen the leg rest. In the 3in1 stroller system you’ll also find a spacious carrycot that can be used in the car with the optional car kit. The stroller also comes with a car seat that can be attached directly to the chassis.
You can identify the older Cortina models by a chassis in a lighter color, solid wheels and a pocket on the back side of the hood. Older carrycots were a little less spacious.

Parent reviews of the Cam Cortina X3 Tris Evolution
I have a second hand piece, used at my grandmother's as a second stroller. The basinet is totally cool :-) I wasn't too thrilled with the seat unit, but it's good for sleeping and I use it. I find it's better for bigger babies than tiny tots.
A superb pram.
- Big wheels
- Large sleeping area
- Good manoeuvrability
- Poor compactness
- Fabric basket
- Short canopy
- A bit hard, suspension-wise
We have a stroller as a spare at my parents' place. We use the seat part. I praise the large sleeping area - it is top, my son always sleeps well there ;-)
Great quality and handling. Italian quality and possibilities of variation.
- Good wheels
- decent suspension
- Big spacious cot for lying down the baby
- Front of the cot cover can be lifted and has bug net for some extra breeze
- Feels sturdy
- Front wheel can rotate or lock
- Car seat in a lying down position when on stroller
- Quite heavy
- Takes up all the trunk space when cot is added (bmw 2 trunk)
- Car seat seems quite uncomfortable and warm for baby
- Car seat has only 3 point strapping mechanism
- Shading on cot and car seat is small
I like this stroller, feels robust and handles forest paths well. The car seat is probably it's biggest drawback. We got this second hand at quarter the price. Otherwise, I'd probably rank it lower.
- The car seat and carrycot clicked in well
- Poorly cushioned
- The three wheeler didn't fit me
- Seat unit uncomfortable for the child
I wouldn't want it anymore 😖
I wanted a three-wheeler and until I had it, I thought it will be absolutely great. It wasn't until it was in practical use that I found out it wasn't.
The bassinet and the car seat are absolutely great, I don't have a single reservation, everything is maximum satisfaction. But the seat unit is a total failure, inappropriate size, unused space, just horrible. The stroller left out flat and was replaced by an X-lander.
- price
- tips over
- does not have good suspension
- does not handle well
I really don't recommend this pram. The baby is just squashed in it, the plastic squeaks all the time, it doesn't handle well, and it tips over in turns.
- Easy to attach the bassinet and car seat
- Unstable
- Poor suspension
- Impractical seat
I'd never get it again.
The stroller I had was an "honest oldschool production" pram, as it was a second-hand stroller that I inherited after being used by two kids and mine was the third one to ride in it.
The bassinet is roomy, my son really did ride in it until he sat in it by HIMSELF, so the transition to the pushchair was at about 8/9 months when the baby is stable and big enough to sit in the seat. If someone puts a baby in a pushchair before the baby is able to sit up on their own, then yes, the baby will not be stable in any pushchair.
For me, a great stroller, whether it's its one-handed control - compared to 4-wheeled strollers, I really managed to control this one with one hand, it's good to roll out even in a small place in public transport, shop, etc.
Most of the time we rode in the countryside, it went a good 6-7 km every day... As for uneven surfaces like snow, gravel forest paths, I definitely pushed it with less effort than 4-wheeled strollers like Baby Desing or Britax.
The backrest/calf rest adjustment held up too - my son slept a lot in the stroller, had plenty of room even in the winter with a foot muff. You don't have to pull the baby up high in the stroller, it learns to get in by himself very soon, just unlatch one side of the belly bar.
The fabric hasn't faded really even after the years. The whole stroller fabrics can be taken down again and washed. Even the harness can be split and can be used without shoulder straps.
The original raincoat really protects from the rain (when you drive the 5-6 km home in the rain, you will know if the raincoat protects or not...).
The only downside might be the design of the canopy.
