Best 3 Wheel Pushchairs
All-terrain pushchair that offers light weight and excellent maneuverability. Its compact one-hand fold makes it's easy to move and is freestanding when folded. The padded seat reclines to a nearly flat position, and there is a large canopy and storage bin. The suitability for newborns is yes and with a carrycot.
A good suspension with air-filled tires can help you to handle rough terrain. It's also suitable for jogging, but you must wait until your baby is at least six or nine months old for this.
Ickle Bubba Air
This lightweight pushchair by Ickle Bubba comes with a variety of features that parents will appreciate. This travel system includes a lie flat carrycot for babies and a dual-position forward and rear facing seat for the pushchair.
The XL Air is a really impressive car and it's easy to understand why it has received such high praise from its customers. It's incredibly light - the chassis and wheels weigh only 6.5kg and it's extremely simple to construct. In fact I was able to complete the entire setup and running in just five minutes, which is impressive considering it included a strapping of the fabric for the carrycot!
The seat is large and comfortable for Annie who is 12 months old. The recline lever was easy to use. The basket has plenty of space, and I find it nice that the handle bar has an area to keep your keys and phone safe.
The only downside is that the handlebar is low, which can be an issue for taller parents. It's covered with soft, supple leather-like material, which is easy to wipe down.
Hauck Pushchair Runner
The Runner is for parents who enjoy exploring and are always on the go. Its large pneumatic wheels were designed to be used on forest and field paths, and the front wheel can be rotated and locked to give you more flexibility. It also has 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 comfy seat is easy to lower to a lying position and the canopy opens to reveal with netting to ensure maximum air circulation on hot days. The handle can be height-adjusted by more than 30cm to accommodate dad's or mom's heights.
The Runner will accompany you on any adventure whether it's a short jog, a longer hike, or a long-distance walk. It comes with a lay-flat seat and suspension air wheels to ensure a smooth ride. The front wheel is lockable to provide more stability on narrow streets and crowded sidewalks, and the stroller folds up easily to fit in car boots and storage spaces.
Some parents have found the Runner 2 to be a bit harder to navigate than its predecessor and the locking system isn't as user-friendly (requiring two buttons on each side of the push bar). The handlebars are higher than those of some competitors, which means they may not be suitable for taller parents. However the stroller is strong and a lot of fun, and is worth considering for families with active children.
Red Kite Push Me Pace
Red Kite's Pace is a top product from the cost-effective British brand. They are known for their clean, well-designed products that are essential for parents. It's their latest and the most expensive addition to their budget-friendly stroller line. Similar to the Ickle Bubba Aurora or Yoyo it's car seat compatible, meaning it can be used from birth.
The new Pace features some stunning design features, including the rose gold hue to the hood, chassis and stroller trims, which truly distinguish it from its competition. The grey, tan and cream fabrics in the stroller and the car seat are stylish and there is the option of adding a co-ordinating leather handle for the cover and bumper bar, too.
It's suitable for babies up to a maximum weight of 22kg and the stroller seat can easily be converted from a carrycot to a 2-in-1 reversible mode, parent-facing or world-facing. The stroller seat comes with multiple lie-back positions, comfortable padded leg rests and has an extendable sun canopy with concealed zip sections, a viewing through flaps and a retractable sun visor section.
When folded when folded, the Pace measures 56 33cm x 43cm x 32cm which makes it suitable for hand luggage on Easyjet and Ryanair. It's also a breeze to fold, thanks to two buttons on either side of the handlebar that just need to be pressed in and out. Then, it will pop up.
Bugaboo Fox 5
The idea behind it is to create the ultimate all-terrain stroller, Bugaboo's newest Fox 5 promises to do everything. Its unique chassis has a shorter wheel distance that makes it more maneuverable than its predecessor. I tried it out with my two kids eight weeks old and a toddler - on rough pavements along with grassy wooded trails and even cobblestones.
The large puncture-proof wheels, which measure 22cm or 30cm in diameter - can handle different terrains. They also have a handy flap that can open or closes to allow more air to enter when you require it, which is a nice touch. It is a little bigger than other pushchairs, however it isn't heavy or bulky when pushing over bumpy surfaces.
The fabric of the seat can be washed by machine, and the faux leather frames and grips are easy 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. This means you can add footmuffs, parasols, changing bags and even a tray for snacks. You can also use the hood to block rain and wind, but it's not particularly waterproof. The single pram can be fitted with the Comfort Wheeled Board (not included), which gives your child more legroom. The bassinet took around 20 minutes to put together, and it took the same amount of time to transform it into a seat.
UPPAbaby Ridge
No matter if you prefer an early morning run in the cool air or a nighttime stroll under the stars, the UPPAbaby Ridge makes every moment a shared adventure. This jogging stroller is all-terrain and has been optimized for performance to keep you and your child active.
More Help and 16" foam-filled tires offer a smooth ride, regardless of the terrain. The patented suspension allows you to glide over paths in the woods with less impact on your child's legs as well as rear. The handbrake with a performance disc lets you stop quickly, even when jogging on the downhill slope.
The Ridge is at its best in every city scene including bustling market stalls for farmers to street musicians performing music. Its spacious basket accommodates your finds from the market and everything else your baby needs, while the roomy canopy offers sun and wind protection. The front canopy can be opened to reveal two mesh peekaboos, which allow you to keep an eye on your baby.
The Ridge's reversible seat allows you to choose whether your child faces the world in front of them or you, and its simple foot brake system is intuitive for parents with young children. The reversible handlebar is a wonderful feature that allows you to adjust it to suit your height. The Ridge's fold, in contrast to many strollers, is stable and self-standing when folded.
iCandy Core
The new pushchair from iCandy is truly innovative, with lots of features that are likely to impress parents. It has a Multi-Mode wheelbase and an LED Visibility Hub light, which is a first in the industry. It has an integrated Ride-on Board which helps save on future costs and lets tired toddlers accompany their parents during outings.
The Core is available as either a travel system or single seat. It is compatible with the most popular car seats, including those from Cybex Maxi Cosi Joie. It also has the biggest seat in the iCandy range, so it will last your baby's initial years and beyond. As with all iCandy pushchairs, this one is luxuriously designed and is made of high-end knitted jersey fabrics. The child's bumper bar as well as the handlebar that parents can adjust are made of soft leatherette. The calf support that folds away are also very comfortable for children.
It was quite impressive how quickly it folded and collapsed, even with the seat unit still attached. It fits easily in your boot or hallway, making it ideal for travelling. The iCandy Core includes a variety of accessories, like an iCandy Core-branded changing rucksack and liner/footmuff.
