Best 3 Wheel Pushchairs
All-terrain stroller that is light, durable and offers great maneuverability. Its one-hand fold is compact, which means it's easy to transport and also freestanding when folded. The cushioned seat reclines to a near-flat position, and there's an enormous storage bin and canopy. Baby-friendly? Yes, with an additional carrycot.
3 wheel pushchair and air-filled tires will allow you to handle rough terrain. You can also use it to jog. However, you must wait until the baby is at least 6 or 9 months old.
Ickle Bubba XL Air
This pushchair from Ickle Bubba is an excellent choice for parents who want lightweight strollers with added features. The travel system includes a lie flat carrycot for infants as well as a multi-position rear and forward facing pushchair seat.
The XL Air is a very impressive buggy. It's easy to comprehend why it has received such high marks from its customers. It's extremely light - the chassis and wheels weigh just 6.5kg and it's extremely simple to build. In fact I was able to put it up and running in just five minutes, which is pretty amazing considering that it also included attaching the fabric for the carrycot!
The seat is large and comfortable for Annie who is 12 months old. The recline lever was simple to use. There's plenty of room in the basket and I like the fact that it comes with an open-top pocket on the handle bar so you can keep your keys and phone secure!
The handlebar is low, which can be an issue for parents who are taller. It's covered in soft, supple leather-like material, and is easy to clean.
Hauck Pushchair Runner
The Runner is for parents who enjoy exploring and are always on the go. The large pneumatic wheels can be utilized on field and forest trails. The front wheel is lockable and can be swiveled to increase the versatility. It also comes with a cushioned 5-point safety harness and front bar to ensure your child is safe on all trips, while the parking brake reliably prevents the stroller from moving while you are taking a break. The comfortable seat is simple to adjust down to a comfortable lying position, and the canopy opens to reveal with netting to ensure maximum air circulation during hot days. The handle can be adjusted by more than 30cm to accommodate the needs of dad or mum.
No matter if you're taking an easy jog or a hike that lasts a while, the Runner will be there to accompany you on your journeys with a fully-flat lie-flat seat and suspension air wheels that guarantee an unhurried ride. The front wheel is lockable to provide more stability on narrow streets and congested sidewalks, and the stroller folds easily to fit into car boot spaces and storage areas.
Some parents have found the Runner 2 to be a bit more difficult to navigate than its predecessor, and the locking mechanism is less user-friendly (requiring two buttons on the opposite side of the push bar). The handlebar is higher than other strollers which means it might not work for smaller parents however, overall it's an extremely sturdy and flexible stroller worth a look for families with active children.
Red Kite Push Me pacing
Red Kite's Pace is a top product from the affordable British brand. They are known for their clean, well-designed products that are essentials for parents. It's their latest and the most expensive addition to their stroller line that is a bargain and lightweight. Like the Ickle Bubba Aurora or Yoyo it's car seat compatible so you can use it from the time of birth.
The new Pace comes with some amazing design features, like rose-gold hues on the chassis, hood, and stroller trims, which really set it apart. The stroller and car seat fabrics are fashionable in tan, grey, and cream. You can also choose to add a leather handle and bumper bar to complement.
It is suitable from birth up to a maximum weight of 22kg. The stroller seat can easily be converted from the carrycot to the 2-in-1 reversible mode. It can be parent-facing or world-facing. The stroller seat has multiple lie-back positions, softly padded legs rests and an extendable sun canopy that has concealed zip sections and a transparent flap, and a retractable visor.
When folded in half, the Pace is 56 33 x 43 x 32cm, which is enough to qualify as hand luggage with Easyjet and Ryanair, among others. Two buttons on either side are easy to use and click into the appropriate position.
Bugaboo Fox 5
Created to be the ultimate all-terrain pushchair Bugaboo's newest Fox 5 promises to do everything. Its unique chassis, coupled with a shorter wheel-distance makes it more agile than its predecessor. I tried it out with my two children - a toddler and an eight week old - over rocky pavements, grassy woodland walks and even cobblestones.
The large, puncture-proof wheels - either 22cm or a bit larger are able to handle various terrains. They also come with an easy flap that opens or closes to allow more air to circulate if you need it and is a nice feature. It's a bit bigger than some pushchairs, but it doesn't feel bulky or heavy when you push it over bumpy surfaces.
The fabric for the seat is machine washable, and the faux leather frame and grips are easy to clean. It's also quieter than many pushchairs and I felt safe using it on busy city streets. One of the advantages is that it comes with accessory points, which means you can add footmuffs parasols, changing bags, and even a tray for snacks. The hood can be used to block out rain and wind, however it's not waterproof. The single pram can be fitted with the Comfort Wheeled board (not included) which allows your child more legroom. It took about 20 minutes to put together the bassinet, and the same amount of time to transform it into the seat.
UPPAbaby Ridge
No matter if you're enjoying a morning jog under the stars or a moonlit stroll in the crisp air, the UPPAbaby Ridge turns every moment into a shared experience. This all-terrain stroller was designed to keep both you and your child engaged.
The massive foam-filled 12" and 16 "tires give you smooth rides regardless of the terrain. The suspension technology is patent-pending, allowing you to glide across woodland paths with minimal impact on your child's legs and rear. The handbrake that is designed for performance lets you stop quickly even while jogging down a downhill slope.
The Ridge is at home in all city scenes, from bustling farmers' markets to the street musicians playing music. The large basket is able to hold all your essentials and market purchases, while the huge canopy offers sun and wind protection. The canopy on the front can be opened to reveal two mesh peekaboos that permit you to watch your baby.
The Ridge's reversible seat lets you to decide if your child is facing you or the world that lies ahead, and its simple foot brake system is a breeze for parents with young children. The reversible handlebar is fantastic feature that lets you adjust it to suit your height. The Ridge's fold, in contrast to many strollers for jogging, is sturdy and self-standing when folded.
iCandy Core
iCandy's new pushchair is truly groundbreaking, with lots of features that are really likely to impress parents. It has a Multi-Mode Wheelbase and a revolutionary LED Visibility Hub Light that's an industry first. It comes with an integrated Ride-on Board that helps reduce future costs, and lets tired toddlers accompany the family when they go on excursions.

Like all iCandy pushchairs it is beautifully constructed and comes with high-end knitted jersey fabrics. The child's adjustable bumper bar and the parent's adjustable handlebar are made of soft leatherette. The calf support that folds away are also very 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. And it fits easily into your hallway and boot which makes it ideal to travel with. The iCandy Core includes a variety of accessories, including a matching changing rucksack or liner or footmuff.
