Best 3 Wheel Pushchairs
All-terrain pushchair that provides lightweight durability and great maneuverability. Its compact one-hand fold means it's easy to transport and also freestanding when folded. The cushioned 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).
Air-filled tyres and good suspension can handle rough terrain. You can also use it for jogging. However, you must wait until your baby is at minimum 6 or 9 months old.
Ickle Bubba Air
This pushchair from Ickle Bubba is a brilliant option for parents looking for lightweight strollers with added features. It is a travel system, which includes a lie-flat carrycot suitable for infants, a multi-position forward and rear facing pushchair seat and a selection of group 0+ car seat, meaning you can get everything you need in one package.
The XL Air is a really impressive buggy and it's simple to see why it has received such high praise from customers. It's extremely light-weight - the wheels and chassis weigh only 6.5kg. It is also very easy to assemble. In fact I was able get the whole thing up and running in just five minutes, which is pretty amazing considering that it also included the tying of the fabric to the carrycot!
The seat is wide and comfortable for Annie, who is 12 months old. The recline lever was simple to operate. The basket has plenty of room and I like that the handle bar features pockets to keep your phone and keys secure.
The handlebar is a bit low, which can be an issue for parents who are taller. But, it's covered with a luxurious leather-like material that is soft and comfortable and cleans down easily, meaning it's still easy to push with bags and children on your hands!
Hauck Pushchair Runner
The Runner is for parents who enjoy exploring and are always on the move. The large pneumatic wheels are able to be used on field and forest trails. The front wheel can be locked and can be rotated for added flexibility. 3 wheel pushchairs has a padded 5-point safety harness and a front bar to keep your little one secure on all journeys and the parking brake is able to stop the stroller from moving while you rest. The seat can be adjusted to a laying position and the canopy can be opened for maximum air circulation during hot days. The handle can be adjusted by more than 30cm to fit mom or dad.
Whether you're going for short jogs or a long hike, the Runner is ready to accompany you on all your adventures with a fully-flat lie-flat seat and suspension air wheels that promise smooth, safe ride. The front wheel can be locked to provide greater stability on narrow streets or crowded sidewalks. The stroller is also able to fold in order to fit into car boot spaces 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 on either side of the handlebar) isn't as user-friendly. The handlebars are higher than the ones of other competitors, and therefore may not be suitable for smaller parents. However the stroller is strong and adaptable and is a good option by families with active children.
Red Kite Push Me pacing
Red Kite's Pace is a top product from the budget-friendly British brand. They are known for their clean, well-designed products that are essential for parents. It's the most recent and most expensive addition to their bargain lightweight stroller range and as with the Ickle Bubba Aurora and Yoyo it's car seat-compatible so that you can use it from birth (the carrycot folds away).
The new Pace boasts some fantastic design touches such as the rose gold hue to the chassis, hood and stroller trims to truly distinguish it from its competition. The car seat and stroller fabrics are stylish in tan, grey and cream. You can also choose to add the handle in leather and the bumper bar to match.
It's suitable from birth to a maximum weight of 22kg. The stroller seat easily converts from a carrycot to an reversible 2-in-1 mode that can be facing the parent or the world. The stroller seat comes with multiple lie back positions, soft padded leg rest support and has an extendable sun canopy featuring concealed zip sections, viewing transparent flaps, and a retractable sun visor section.
When folded in half, the Pace measures 56 32 x 43 cm which means it passes for hand luggage with Easyjet and Ryanair among other carriers. Two buttons on either side are easy use and can be clicked into the right position.
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 mobile than its predecessor. I tried it with my two children eight weeks old and a toddler - on rocky pavements as well as grassy wooded paths and even cobblestones.
The puncture-proof wheels are big in size - 22cm and a whopping 30cm - which means they can handle all kinds of terrain. The wheels have an opening that can be opened or closed to let air in when required. It's a bit bigger than most pushchairs, yet doesn't feel heavy or bulky when you're pushing it across bumpy surfaces.
The fabric of the seat is machine washable and the frame and faux leather grips are simple to clean. It is also quieter than other pushchairs and I was comfortable in the urban streets. It comes with accessory points that allow you to attach footmuffs and parasols and also changing bags, snack trays, and even snack trays. You can also use the hood to block out rain and wind, though it's not waterproof. It's a single pram however, you can also attach their Comfort Wheeled Board (not included) to give your child more legroom. It took about 20 minutes to assemble the bassinet, and the same amount of time to convert it to the seat.

The spacious basket can hold everything you need and market purchases, while the massive canopy offers sun and wind protection. The front canopy can be removed to reveal two mesh peekaboos that permit you to watch your baby.
The Ridge's reversible seating lets you choose whether your child is facing you, or the world in front. The simple foot brake system makes it a breeze for parents who are just starting out. A fantastic feature is the reversible handlebar, which lets you adjust it to your height and preference. The Ridge's fold, unlike many strollers, is stable and self-standing when folded.
