Best 3 Wheel Pushchairs
All-terrain pushchair that offers lightweight durability and excellent maneuverability. Its one-hand fold is compact, which means it's easy to transport and freestanding when folded. The padded seat reclines into a nearly flat position, and there is a large storage bin and canopy. Baby-friendly? Yes with an additional carrycot.
A good suspension and air-filled tires can help you to handle rough terrain. It's also suitable for jogging but you should wait until your baby is six or nine months old before doing this.
Ickle Bubba Air
This pushchair from Ickle Bubba is a brilliant option for parents looking for an easy-to-use buggy that has enhanced features. This travel system includes an adjustable carrycot that can be folded flat for babies and a multi-position rear and forward facing pushchair seat.
The XL Air is a really impressive car and it's easy to understand why it has received so many high marks from its customers. It's incredibly light - the wheels and chassis weigh just 6.5kg - and it's also easy to build. In fact I was able to complete the entire setup and running in less than five minutes, which is impressive considering it included a strapping of the fabric for the carrycot!
It has a nice, wide seat that is comfortable for Annie (who is 12 months) and the recline lever is very easy to operate. The basket is spacious with plenty of space, and I am impressed that the handle bar features a pocket to keep your phone and keys safe.
The handlebar is low, which can be a problem for parents who are taller. It's covered with a soft, comfy leather-like material, which is easy to wipe down.
Hauck Pushchair Runner
The Runner is designed for athletic parents who want to go outside and explore. The large pneumatic wheels can be used on forest and field paths. The front wheel is lockable and swivels to allow for greater flexibility. The stroller also features a 5-point safety harness with a front bar to keep your child secure on all trips. The parking brake keeps the stroller in place while you rest. The comfy seat is easy to lower to a comfortable lying position, and the canopy opens to reveal to allow for maximum air circulation during hot days. The handle can be adjusted by more than 30cm to accommodate mum or dad.
If you're planning short jogs or a longer hike, the Runner is ready to join you on your journeys with a fully-flat lie-flat seat and suspension air wheels that promise smooth, safe ride. The front wheel is lockable for more stability on narrow streets and overcrowded sidewalks, and the stroller folds up easily to fit in car boot spaces and storage areas.
Some parents have found the Runner 2 to be a bit harder to maneuver than its predecessor, and the locking system isn't as user-friendly (requiring two buttons on each side of the push bar). The handlebar is a little higher than some competitors', so it might not work for smaller parents however, overall it's an extremely sturdy and flexible stroller that's worth considering for active families.
Red Kite Push Me walking
Red Kite's Pace is a fantastic product from the budget-friendly British brand. They are known for their simple, well-designed products that are essential for parents. It's the latest and most expensive product in their bargain-priced lightweight stroller collection. It's also 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 has some amazing design features, including the rose gold tint of the chassis, hood and stroller trims, which really set it apart from its rivals. The grey, tan and cream fabrics on the stroller and the car seat are super elegant and there is an option to add the leather handle for the cover and bumper bar, too.
The stroller seat can be used from birth until a maximum weight of 22kg. It converts easily into a 2-in-1 reversible position, which is either parent-facing or world-facing. The stroller seat offers multiple lie back positions, softly padded leg rests and comes with an extendable sun canopy with hidden zip sections, a transparent flaps, and an adjustable sun visor.
When folded when folded, the Pace measures 56 x 43cm x 32cm, which is perfect for hand luggage on Easyjet and Ryanair. It's also simple to collapse, with two buttons on the handlebar's opposite side that just need to be pressed in and pop up.
Bugaboo Fox 5
Bugaboo's Fox 5 is designed to be the ultimate all-terrain stroller. Its unique chassis has a shorter wheel distance, making it more manoeuvrable than its predecessor. I tried it out with my two kids eight weeks old and a toddler - on rocky pavements, grassy wooded walks and even cobblestones.
The large puncture-proof wheels, which measure 22cm or 30cm in diameter they can be used on a variety of terrains. The wheels have an opening that can be shut or opened to let air in when needed. It's a little larger than some pushchairs but doesn't feel heavy or bulky when you push it across bumpy surfaces.
The seat fabric is machine washable and the frame and faux leather grips are simple to wipe down. It's also a lot quieter than other pushchairs, and I felt comfortable using it on busy city streets. It comes with accessory points that allow you to attach footmuffs and parasols as well as changing bags, snack trays, and even snack tray. You can also use the hood to block 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 a bit of leg room. It took around 20 minutes to set up the bassinet, and a similar amount of time to convert it into the seat.
