Best 3 Wheel Pushchairs
All-terrain pushchair that provides lightweight durability and great maneuverability. The compact fold using one hand makes it easy to move. It also stands on its own when folded. The padded seat reclines to a nearly flat position, and there's a large canopy and storage bin. Newborn suitability? Yes, with an additional carrycot.
A well-constructed suspension and air-filled tires will help you to navigate the rough terrain. It's also suitable for jogging but you must wait until your baby is at least six or nine months old to do this.
Ickle Bubba Air
This lightweight pushchair from Ickle Bubba has a lot of features that parents will appreciate. The travel system comes with a carrycot that is flat for babies and a dual-position rear and forward facing seat for the pushchair.
The XL Air is a really impressive car, and it's easy to see why it has received such high praise from its customers. It is extremely light with the chassis and wheels weigh only 6.5kg. It is also very easy to assemble. In fact I was able complete the entire setup and running in less than five minutes, which is amazing given that it included the tying of the fabric to the carrycot!
The seat is spacious and comfortable for Annie, who is just 12 months old. The recline lever was simple to use. The basket is spacious with plenty of space and I am impressed that the handle bar comes with an area to keep your keys and phone secure.
The only downside is the handlebar is low, which can be a problem for taller parents. However, it's encased in a gorgeous leather-like material that is soft and comfy and wipes down easily, so it's still a breeze to push with bags and children on your hands!
Hauck Pushchair Runner
The Runner is made for sporty parents who can't wait to get outside and explore. The large pneumatic wheels can be utilized on field and forest paths. The front wheel is lockable and can be rotated to allow for greater versatility. It also comes with a padded 5-point safety harness as well as a front bar to keep your little one secure on all journeys while the parking brake reliably prevents the stroller from moving when you rest. The seat can be repositioned to a laying position and the canopy can be opened maximum air circulation on hot days. The handle can be adjusted by more than 30cm to fit the needs of dad or mum.
The Runner will accompany you on any adventure whether it's a short walk, a longer hike or a long distance trek. It has a fully-flat lay-flat seat that has suspension air wheels to ensure smooth and comfortable riding. The front wheel can be locked to provide greater stability when walking on narrow streets or busy sidewalks. The stroller can also be folded up to fit into car boot spaces or storage areas.
The Runner 2 is a bit more difficult to maneuver for some parents than its predecessor. Also, the locking system (requiring two buttons either side of the handlebar) isn't as user-friendly. The handlebars are higher than some competitors, which means they may not be suitable for shorter parents. However, this stroller is sturdy and a lot of fun and is a good option by families with active children.
Red Kite Push Me pacing
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. It's the newest and most expensive product in their bargain-priced lightweight stroller line. It as with the Ickle Bubba Aurora and Yoyo is car seat compatible so you can use it right from birth (the carrycot folds away).
The new Pace features some stunning design features such as rose-gold hues on the hood, chassis, and stroller trims that really make it stand out. The car seat and stroller fabrics are stylish in tan, grey and cream. You can also choose to add a leather handle and bumper bar to complement.
The stroller seat can be used from birth to 22kg. It easily converts into a 2-in-1 reversible position, either facing the parent or facing the world. The stroller seat has several lie-back positions, plus soft padded legs rests, and an extended sun canopy with concealed zip sections, a viewing see-through flap, and a retractable visor.
What's more, when it's folded it's Pace measures 56 33 x 43 x 32cm, which means it passes for hand luggage with Easyjet and Ryanair among other carriers. Two buttons on either side are easy to utilize and press into the right position.
Bugaboo Fox 5
The idea behind it is to create the ultimate all-terrain pushchair Bugaboo's new Fox 5 promises to do everything. Its unique chassis, with a shorter wheel-distance makes it more agile than its predecessor. 3 wheel buggy put it to the test with my two kids - an infant and an eight-week-old - on the rocky roads along woodland paths, grassy trails and even cobblestones.
The puncture-proof wheels are huge with a diameter of 22cm and 30cm therefore they are able to handle many different terrains. 3 wheel buggy come with a flap that can be opened or closed to let more air in when required. It's a bit bigger than other pushchairs, but doesn't feel heavy or bulky when you're pushing it over bumpy surfaces.
The fabric of the seat can be machine washed 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. Another benefit is that it incorporates accessory points. This means you can add footmuffs, parasols, changing bags, and even a snack tray. The hood can be used to block the elements of wind and rain, but it's not waterproof. It's a single pram, but you can add their Comfort Wheeled Board (not included) to give your child a bit of leg room. It took around 20 minutes to assemble the bassinet, and the same amount of time to convert it to the seat.
UPPAbaby Ridge
Whether you're enjoying an early morning run under the stars or a moonlit walk in the cool air, the UPPAbaby Ridge turns every moment into a fun experience for all. This all-terrain stroller is designed to keep you and the child engaged.
The large, foam-filled 12" and 16 "tires give you a smooth ride no matter the terrain. The suspension is patented, allowing you to glide along paths in the woods with less impact on your child's legs as well as rear. The performance disc handbrake allows you to stop quickly, even when jogging on a downhill slope.
The Ridge is at home in all city scenes from bustling farmers' markets to street musicians playing music. The large basket can accommodate all your essentials and market purchases, while the huge canopy offers protection from the sun and wind. The front canopy can be unzipped to reveal two mesh peekaboos that permit you to keep an eye on your baby.
The Ridge's reversible seating allows you to choose whether your child faces you or the world that lies ahead, and its simple foot brake system is easy for parents with young children. A fantastic feature is the reversible handlebar, that allows you to adjust it to your height and preference. And unlike some jogging strollers The Ridge's fold is solid and self-standing when folded.
iCandy Core
iCandy's new pushchair is truly groundbreaking and comes with a host of features that are likely to impress parents. It has a Multi-Mode wheelbase and LED Visibility Hub light that's the first of its kind in the market. It also features an integrated Ride-on Board, which saves on future costs and makes it simple for an exhausted toddler to accompany you on family outings.
The Core is available as an entire travel system or as a single seat. It works with most popular car seats, such as those from Cybex Maxi Cosi Joie. It also has the largest seat unit in the iCandy range, which means it will last you through your baby's early years and beyond. As with all iCandy pushchairs, this one is luxuriously designed and is made of premium knitted jersey fabrics. The child's removable bumper bar as well as the parent's adjustable handlebar are made of soft leatherette. The calf support folds away are also extremely comfortable for children.
I was impressed with how easy it was to fold and collapse. It only takes one hand with the seat unit on. It is also easy to fit into the boot or hallway, making it perfect for travel. The iCandy Core includes a variety of accessories, including a matching changing rucksack or liner or footmuff.
