Best 3 Wheel Pushchairs
All-terrain pushchair with light weight and excellent maneuverability. Its compact one-hand fold means it's easy to move and freestanding when folded. The padded seat reclines to an almost flat position and there's a huge canopy and storage bin. Newborn suitability: Yes and with a separate carrycot (not suitable for overnight sleeping).
Good suspension and air-filled tyres can handle rough terrain. You can also use it to jog. However, you should wait until the baby is at least 6 or 9 months old.
Ickle Bubba XL Air
This pushchair from Ickle Bubba is a brilliant option for parents looking for a lightweight buggy with enhanced features. The travel system includes a carrycot that is flat for babies and an adjustable forward and rear facing seat for the pushchair.
The XL Air is a really impressive buggy and it's easy to see why it has received such high praise from its customers. It's incredibly light - the chassis and wheels weigh just 6.5kg - and it's also extremely simple to build. I was able get it up and running in less than five minutes. This is amazing considering that it includes the ability to attach fabric to the carrycot.
It has a lovely wide, comfortable seat that was comfortable for Annie (who is 12 months) and the recline lever is easy to use. The basket has plenty of space and I am impressed that the handle bar has an area to keep your phone and keys secure.
The only issue is the handlebar is low, which can be a problem for taller parents. It's covered in a soft, comfy leather-like material, and is easy to clean.
Hauck Pushchair Runner
The Runner is designed for active parents who can't wait to go out and explore. The large pneumatic wheels are able to be used on forest and field paths. The front wheel can be locked and can be swiveled for added versatility. It also comes with a cushioned 5-point safety harness as well as a front bar to ensure your child is safe on all trips, while the parking brake is able to stop the stroller from moving even when you are taking a break. The comfortable seat is simple to lower to a lying position, and the canopy opens to reveal to allow for maximum air circulation on hot days. The handle can be adjusted by more than 30cm, to fit mum or dad.
The Runner will accompany you on all your adventures whether it's a leisurely run, a more strenuous hike or a long-distance trek. It comes with a lay-flat seat with suspension air wheels for an easy ride. The front wheel is lockable for more stability on narrow streets and overcrowded sidewalks, and the stroller folds easily to fit in car boot spaces and storage areas.
The Runner 2 is a bit more difficult to navigate for some parents than its predecessor. Also, three wheel pushchair locking system (requiring two buttons either on either side of the handlebar) is less user-friendly. The handlebars are a bit higher than some competitors, which means they may not be suitable for taller parents. However the stroller is strong and adaptable and is a good option for families with active children.
Red Kite Push Me walking
The Pace is a great option from Red Kite, an affordable British brand which is known for its well-designed and no-fuss parenting essentials. It's their latest and the most expensive addition to their stroller line that is a bargain and lightweight. Like the Ickle Bubba Aurora or Yoyo, it is car seat-compatible, so you can use from birth.
The new Pace features some stunning design features, like rose-gold hues on the chassis, hood, and stroller trims that truly make it stand out. The grey, tan and cream fabrics in the stroller and the car seat are super elegant and there is the option of adding the leather cover handle and bumper bar, too.
It is suitable from birth up to a max weight of 22kg and the stroller seat can easily be converted from the carrycot to the 2-in-1 reversible mode. It can be parent-facing or world-facing. The stroller seat comes with various lie-back positions, soft padded legs rests, and an extendable sun canopy with concealed zip sections, a viewing see-through flap, and a retractable visor.
Furthermore, when folded, the Pace measures 56 32 x 43 cm which means it passes for hand luggage with Easyjet and Ryanair among other airlines. It's also easy to collapse, with two buttons on either side of the handlebar that just need to be pressed in and then pop out.
Bugaboo Fox 5
Bugaboo's Fox 5 is designed to be the ultimate, all-terrain stroller. Its unique chassis, which has a shorter wheel-distance, makes it much more agile than its predecessor. I tested it with my two children one of whom is eight weeks old and the other toddler - on rocky roads, grassy wooded walks and even cobblestones.
The large puncture-proof wheels, which measure 22cm or 30cm in size are able to handle a variety of terrains. The wheels have an opening that can be opened or closed to let air in when needed. It's a little larger than most pushchairs, yet it doesn't feel bulky or heavy when you push it across bumpy surfaces.
The seat fabric is machine washable and the faux leather grips and frame are easy to clean. It's also quieter than other pushchairs, and I felt confident using it on busy city streets. It has built-in accessory points that allow you to attach parasols and footmuffs as well as changing bags as well as snack trays and even snack tray. You can also use the hood to block out wind and rain, although it isn't particularly waterproof. The single pram can be outfitted with the Comfort Wheeled board (not included), which gives your child more leg room. The bassinet took 20 minutes to set-up and it took about the same amount of time to convert it into an actual seat.
UPPAbaby Ridge
No matter if you prefer running in the morning cool air or a stroll under the stars, the UPPAbaby Ridge makes every moment a shared adventure. This jogging stroller is all-terrain and is designed for maximum performance to keep your child and you active.
The huge 12" and 16" foam-filled tires give you an effortless ride, regardless of the terrain. The suspension system is patented and allows you to effortlessly glide across woodland paths while minimizing the impact on your child's rear and legs. The handbrake with a performance disc allows you to quickly stop, even when jogging on a downhill slope.
The Ridge is at its best in every city scene including bustling farmers' markets to street musicians performing music. Its spacious basket accommodates your shopping cart and everything else your baby needs and the spacious canopy provides sun and wind protection. The canopy's large front unzips to reveal two mesh peekaboo windows that allow you to keep an eye on your child's surroundings.
The Ridge's reversible seat lets you to decide whether your child will face you or the world that lies ahead and its simple foot brake system is easy for new parents. A fantastic feature is the reversible handlebar which lets you adjust it to your height and preferences. The Ridge's fold, unlike other strollers for jogging, is sturdy and self-standing when folded.
