Best 3 Wheel Pushchairs
All-terrain stroller that is light and durable. It also offers excellent maneuverability. Its one-hand fold is compact, which means it's easy to transport and is 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 carrycot.
A well-constructed suspension and air-filled tires will allow you navigate through rough terrain. It's also suitable for jogging, although you should wait until your baby is at least six or nine months old for this.
Ickle Bubba XL Air
This pushchair from Ickle Bubba is a great choice for parents who want a lightweight buggy with enhanced features. It comes as an all-in-one travel system that includes a lie-flat carrycot designed for infants, a movable forward and rear facing pushchair as well as a choice of a car seats, so you can have everything in one package.
The XL Air is a really impressive car, and it's easy to see why it's received so many high marks from customers. It's extremely light - the wheels and chassis weigh just 6.5kg and it's super-easy to construct. I was able get it up and running in less than five minutes. That's amazing considering that it included the ability to attach fabric to the carrycot.
It has a lovely wide, comfortable seat that is comfortable for Annie (who is 12 months old) and the recline lever is very easy to operate. The basket is spacious with plenty of space, and I am impressed that the handle bar has pockets to keep your phone and keys secure.
The handlebar is a bit low, which can be a problem for parents who are taller. But, it's covered in a gorgeous leather-like material that's soft and comfortable, and it wipes down easily, meaning it's still easy to push with bags and children in your hands!
Hauck Pushchair Runner
The Runner is designed for athletic parents who want to get outside and explore. Its large pneumatic wheels were designed to be used on field and forest paths and the front wheel can be rotated and locked for additional versatility. It also comes with a cushioned 5-point safety harness and a front bar to keep your little one secure on all journeys and the parking brake reliably prevents the stroller from moving when you take a break. The comfy seat is easy to lower to a lying position and the canopy opens to reveal with netting to ensure maximum air circulation during hot days. The handle can be height-adjusted by more than 30 centimeters to accommodate dad or mum's heights.
The Runner will accompany you on all your adventures whether it's a leisurely jog, a longer hike, or a long-distance walk. It has a fully-flat lay-flat seat that has suspension air wheels for a smooth ride. The front wheel can be locked for more stability when walking on narrow streets or busy sidewalks. The stroller is also able to fold up to fit into car boot spaces or storage spaces.
The Runner 2 is a bit more difficult to navigate for some parents than its predecessor. Also, the locking system (requiring two buttons either on either side of the handlebar) isn't as user-friendly. The handlebar is higher than some competitors which means it might not work for smaller parents but overall, it's an extremely sturdy and flexible stroller that is worth considering for active families.
Red Kite Push Me Pace
The Pace is a great option from Red Kite, an affordable British brand which prides itself on making well-designed and no-fuss essentials for parents.
3 wheeled pushchair 's the latest - and priciest - product in their bargain-priced lightweight stroller range and like the Ickle Bubba Aurora and Yoyo, is car seat adaptable so you can use it from birth (the carrycot folds away).
The new Pace features some stunning design elements, including a rose-gold shade on the hood, chassis and stroller trims that really distinguish it from. The cream, grey, and tan fabrics used in the stroller as well as the car seat are elegant and there is an option to add a co-ordinating leather handle for the cover and bumper bar as well.
The stroller seat can be used from birth up to a maximum weight of 22kg. It converts easily to a two-in-one reversible position, which is either parent-facing or facing the world. The stroller seat comes with several lie-back positions, plus softly padded legs rests and an extendable sun canopy that has zip-off sections that are concealed with a view-through flap, and retractable visor.
When folded, the Pace measures 56 x 43cm x 32cm, which allows it to be used as hand luggage on Easyjet and Ryanair. It's also simple to fold down, using two buttons on the handlebar's opposite side which just click in and pop up.
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 more mobile than its predecessor. I tried it out with my two kids eight weeks old and a toddler - on rocky roads, grassy wooded walks and even cobblestones.
The wheels that are puncture-proof are large in size - 22cm and a whopping 30cm - which means they can handle lots of different terrains. They also have an easy flap that opens or closes to allow more air in should you need it and is a nice feature. It's a bit bigger than some pushchairs but it doesn't feel bulky or heavy when you are pushing it over bumpy surfaces.
The seat fabric is machine washable and the frame and faux leather grips are simple to clean. It's also quieter than some pushchairs, and I felt safe using it in busy city streets. Another benefit is that it has integrated accessory points, which means you can add footmuffs, parasols, changing bags, and even a snack tray. The hood can be used to block rain and wind, but it's not waterproof. It's a single pram, but you can add their Comfort Wheeled Board (not included) to give your child more leg room. It took about 20 minutes to put together the bassinet, and a similar amount of time to transform it into the seat.
UPPAbaby Ridge
No matter if you're enjoying a morning jog under the stars or a moonlit walk in the crisp air, the UPPAbaby Ridge turns every moment into a shared one. This all-terrain stroller is designed to keep you and the child active.
The large 12" and 16" foam-filled tires offer an easy ride, no matter the terrain. The suspension technology is patent-pending, allowing you to glide across paths in the woods with less impact on your child's legs and rear. The handbrake that is designed for performance allows you to stop quickly even while running on the downhill slope.
From bustling farmers markets to street musicians playing a tune The Ridge navigates all your city's most popular scenes effortlessly. The large basket is able to hold everything you need and market purchases, while the huge canopy provides protection from the sun and wind. The canopy on the front can be unzipped to reveal two mesh peekaboos, which allow you to watch your baby.
The Ridge's reversible seats allows you to choose if your child is facing you or the world in front. The simple foot brake system makes it a breeze for parents who are new. The reversible handlebar on the back is a great feature that allows you to adjust it to your height. And unlike some jogging strollers The Ridge's fold is stable and stays upright when folded.
iCandy Core
The new iCandy pushchair comes with a variety of features that will impress parents. It has a Multi-Mode wheelbase and an LED Visibility Hub light that's a first in the industry. It also features an integrated Ride-on Board which saves on future costs and makes it easy for a tired toddler to accompany you on family outings.
The Core can be bought as a stand-alone unit or as a complete travel system. it is compatible with the most popular car seats made by brands such as Cybex, Maxi Cosi and Joie. It has the largest seat unit of the iCandy line, meaning you can use it for your baby's first years and beyond. As with all iCandy pushchairs it is beautifully designed and features premium knitted jersey fabric. The handlebar that parents can adjust and the child's removable bumper bar are made of soft leatherette, while the fold-away calf support is also extremely comfortable for children.
It was amazing how quickly it collapsed and folded, even with the seat unit attached. It's also easily tucked away in the boot or hallway which makes it ideal for travelling. The iCandy Core comes with lots of extra accessories, including an rucksack that matches the colour of your choice and a liner/footmuff.
