Best 3 Wheel Pushchairs
All-terrain pushchair with light weight and excellent maneuverability. Its one-hand fold is compact, which means it's easy to move and freestanding when folded. The padded seat reclines to a near-flat position, and there's a huge storage bin and canopy. Baby suitability: Yes, with a separate carrycot (not suitable for sleep over).
A good suspension with air-filled tires will help you to handle rough terrain. It's also suitable for jogging but you must wait until your baby is six or nine months old for this.
Ickle Bubba Air
This lightweight pushchair by Ickle Bubba has a lot of features that parents will enjoy. It comes as an entire travel system that includes a lie-flat carrycot designed for infants, a movable forward and rear facing pushchair seat and a selection of group 0+ car seat, so you can have everything in one package.
The XL Air is a very impressive buggy. It's easy to see why it has received such high marks from customers. It is incredibly lightweight with the chassis and wheels weigh only 6.5kg. It's extremely easy to put together. I was able to get it up and running in just five minutes - which is amazing considering that it included attaching fabric for the carrycot.
The seat is large and comfortable for Annie, who is 12 months old. The recline lever was simple to operate. The basket is spacious with plenty of space and I find it nice that the handle bar has pockets to keep your phone and keys safe.
The handlebar is a bit low, which could be an issue for parents who are taller. However, 3 wheeler pushchair 's coated in a gorgeous leather-like material that's soft and comfy and wipes down easily, so it's still easy to push even with bags and children on your hands!
Hauck Pushchair Runner
The Runner is a great choice for parents who love to explore and are always on the go. The large pneumatic wheels are designed to be used on field and forest paths and the front wheel can be swivelled and locked to give you more flexibility. The stroller comes with a 5-point safety harness with an adjustable front bar that will keep your child safe on all journeys. The parking brake will keep the stroller stationary as you take a break. The comfortable seat is easy to recline to a comfortable lying position, and the canopy opens to reveal to allow for maximum air circulation during hot days. The handle can be adjusted by more than 30cm to fit mum or dad.
No matter if you're taking short jogs or a hike that lasts a while The Runner will be there to accompany you on all your adventures with a fully-flat lie-flat seat and suspension air wheels that guarantee a bump-free ride. The front wheel can be locked for more stability on narrow streets and overcrowded sidewalks and the stroller folds up easily to fit into car boots and storage spaces.
The Runner 2 is a bit more difficult to navigate for some parents than its predecessor. Additionally the locking system (requiring two buttons on either side of the handlebar) is less user-friendly. The handlebars are higher than the ones of other competitors, so they might not be suitable for shorter parents. However the stroller is durable and a lot of fun and is a good option for families with active children.
Red Kite Push Me Pace
Red Kite's Pace is a fantastic product from the cost-effective British brand. They are renowned for their simple, well-designed products that are essential for parents. It's the newest - and priciest - version of their bargain light stroller range and like the Ickle Bubba Aurora and Yoyo, is car seat adaptable so that you can use it right from birth (the carrycot folds away).
The new Pace comes with some amazing design features such as a rose-gold shade on the chassis, hood and stroller trims that truly distinguish it from. The grey, tan and cream fabrics in the stroller and the car seat are elegant and there is the option of adding a co-ordinating leather handle for the cover and bumper bar as well.
It is suitable from birth up to a maximum weight of 22kg. The stroller seat converts easily from the carrycot into an reversible 2-in-1 mode that can be parent-facing or world-facing. The stroller seat comes with several lie-back positions, plus soft padded legs rests, and an extendable sun canopy with concealed zip sections, a viewing see-through flap, and a retractable visor.
When folded in half, the Pace is 56 32 x 43 cm which is enough to qualify as hand luggage with Easyjet and Ryanair among other airlines. It's also a breeze to collapse, with two buttons on the handlebar's opposite side that you can click into and then pop out.
Bugaboo Fox 5,
Bugaboo's Fox 5 is designed to be the ultimate, all-terrain stroller. Its unique chassis has a shorter wheel distance, making it more manoeuvrable than its predecessor. I tested it with my two kids - an infant and an eight-week-old - on rough terrain, grassy woodland walks and even cobblestones.
The puncture-proof wheels are big in size - 22cm and a whopping 30cm - therefore they are able to handle all kinds of terrain. They also have an easy flap that opens or closes to let more air to enter when you require it, which is a nice feature. It's a bit larger than some pushchairs, but it isn't heavy or bulky when pushing it across bumpy surfaces.
The fabric for the seat can be washed by machine, 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. One of the advantages is that it comes with accessory points, meaning you can put in footmuffs, parasols, changing bags and even a tray for snacks. You can also use the hood to block wind and rain, although it isn't particularly waterproof. The single pram can be fitted with the Comfort Wheeled Board (not included), which gives your child more leg room. The bassinet took about 20 minutes to put together and the same amount of time to transform it into a seat.
UPPAbaby Ridge
If you're looking forward to a morning jog in the cool air or a nighttime stroll under the stars, the UPPAbaby Ridge makes every moment a memorable one. This stroller that is all-terrain designed to keep you and your child engaged.
The large foam-filled 12" and 16 "tires provide smooth rides regardless of the terrain. The suspension technology is patent-pending, allowing you to glide across trails with little impact on your child's legs as well as rear. And the reliable hand brake with a performance disc allows you to stop quickly, even while running downhill.
From bustling farmers markets to street musicians singing, the Ridge can navigate all your most loved city scenes effortlessly. The spacious basket can accommodate your market finds and everything else your baby needs and the spacious canopy provides sun and wind protection. The canopy on the front can be removed to reveal two mesh peekaboos, which allow you to monitor your baby.
The Ridge's reversible seating allows you to decide whether your child will face you or the world ahead and its easy foot brake system is a breeze for parents who are new. The reversible handlebar on the back is a wonderful feature that allows you to adjust it to your height. And unlike some jogging strollers the Ridge folds stable and stays upright when folded.
iCandy Core
iCandy's new pushchair is truly innovative and has a lot of features that are really sure to amaze parents.
