Best 3 Wheel Pushchairs
All-terrain pushchair that offers light weight and excellent maneuverability. The compact fold using one hand makes it simple to move. It can also stand on its own when folded. The cushioned seat reclines into an almost flat position and there is a large storage bin and canopy. Newborn suitability: Yes, with a separate carrycot (not suitable for sleep over).
A well-constructed suspension and air-filled tires can help you to handle rough terrain. You can also use it for jogging. However, you should wait until the baby is at minimum 6 or 9 months old.
Ickle Bubba Air
This lightweight pushchair from Ickle Bubba is packed with lots of features that parents will love. The travel system comes with a lie flat carrycot for babies and an adjustable rear and forward facing seat for a pushchair.
The XL Air is a very impressive buggy. It's easy to see why it's received the highest praise from its customers. It's extremely light - the chassis and wheels weigh just 6.5kg - and it's also extremely simple to put together. In fact I was able complete the entire setup and running in just five minutes, which is impressive considering it included attaching the fabric for the carrycot!
It has a nice, wide seat that was comfortable for Annie (who is 12 months) and the recline lever is easy to use. There's plenty of space inside the basket and I am awestruck by the fact that it has an open-top pocket on the handle bar so you can keep your phone and keys secure!
The handlebar is low, which could be a problem for parents who are taller. It's covered with soft, supple leather-like material, which is easy to clean.
Hauck Pushchair Runner
The Runner is a great choice for parents who enjoy exploring and are always on the go. The large pneumatic wheels can be utilized on field and forest paths. The front wheel can be locked and swivels for added versatility. The stroller also comes with five-point safety harnesses with an adjustable front bar that will keep your child safe during all journeys. The parking brake keeps the stroller in place as you take a break. The seat can be repositioned to lay down and the canopy can be opened for maximum air circulation during hot days. The handle can be adjusted by more than 30cm to accommodate the needs of dad or mum.
If you're planning a quick jog or a hike that lasts a while The Runner is ready to accompany you on your journeys with a reclining, fully-flat seat and suspension air wheels that guarantee an unhurried ride. The front wheel can be locked to provide more stability on narrow streets and overcrowded sidewalks, and the stroller folds up easily to fit into car boot spaces and storage areas.
The Runner 2 is a bit more difficult to navigate for some parents than its predecessor. Also, 3 wheel pushchair locking system (requiring two buttons on either on either side of the handlebar) isn't as user-friendly. The handlebar is higher than other strollers which means it might not suit shorter parents but overall, it's an extremely sturdy and flexible stroller that's worth considering for active families.
Red Kite Push Me moving
The Pace is another great offering from Red Kite, an affordable British brand that prides itself on making easy-to-use and simple parenting essentials. It's the newest - and priciest - addition to their bargain lightweight stroller collection. It's also like the Ickle Bubba Aurora and Yoyo is car seat compatible which means you can use it from the beginning (the carrycot folds away).
The new Pace comes with some amazing design features, like rose-gold hues on the chassis, hood, and stroller trims, which really make it stand out. The cream, grey, and tan fabrics used in the stroller as well as the car seat are super fashionable and there's the option of adding the handle for the cover and bumper bar, too.
The stroller seat is used from birth to a maximum weight of 22kg. It converts easily to a two-in-one reversible position, either parent-facing or facing the world. The stroller seat has multi lying positions, a comfortable padded leg rests and an extended sun canopy that has hidden zip sections, a see through flap and a retractable sun visor section.
When folded it's Pace measures up at 56 x 43 x 32cm which means it passes for hand luggage with Easyjet and Ryanair, among others. Two buttons on either side are easy to use and can be clicked into place.
Bugaboo Fox 5,
Bugaboo's Fox 5 is designed to be the ultimate, all-terrain stroller. Its unique chassis features a shorter wheel width which makes it easier to maneuver than its predecessor. I tested it with my two kids - an infant and an eight week old - over rough terrain as well as woodland walks that are grassy and even cobblestones.
The large, puncture-proof wheels - 22cm or 30cm in size - can handle a variety of terrains. The wheels come with an opening that can be shut or opened to let air in when required. It is a little bigger than other pushchairs, however it doesn't feel bulky or heavy when you push it over bumpy surfaces.
The fabric of the seat is machine washable and the frame and faux leather grips are easy to wipe down. It is also quieter than other pushchairs, and I felt at ease in the city streets. It comes with accessory points so you can attach parasols and footmuffs as well as changing bags or snack trays, and even snack trays. The hood can be used to block rain and wind, but it's not waterproof. The single pram can be outfitted with the Comfort Wheeled board (not included) which allows your child more legroom. It took about 20 minutes to set up the bassinet, and a similar amount of time to convert it to the seat.
UPPAbaby Ridge
Whether you enjoy a morning jog in the crisp air or a stroll under the stars, the UPPAbaby Ridge makes every moment a shared adventure. This jogging stroller is all-terrain and has been designed to perform to keep your child and you both active.

The Ridge is at its best in every city scene, from bustling farmers' markets to the street musicians performing music. Its large basket is big enough to hold your market finds and everything else your baby needs, while the roomy canopy provides sun and wind protection. The oversized front canopy also opens to reveal two mesh windows that allow you to monitor your little one's surroundings.
The Ridge's reversible seating allows you to choose if your child is facing you, or the world in front. Its simple foot brake system makes it a breeze for parents who are just starting out. The reversible handlebar on the back is a fantastic feature that allows you to adjust it to suit your height. And unlike other strollers that jog, the Ridge's fold is solid and self-standing when folded.
