Best 3 Wheel Pushchairs
All-terrain pushchair that provides light weight and excellent maneuverability. Its compact one-hand fold means it's easy to transport and is freestanding when folded. The cushioned seat reclines to a nearly flat position, and there's a huge storage bin and canopy. Newborn suitability? Yes with an additional carrycot.
A good suspension with air-filled tires will allow you navigate through rough terrain. It's also suitable for jogging, but you must wait until your baby is six or nine months old before doing this.
Ickle Bubba Air
This pushchair from Ickle Bubba is an excellent option for parents looking for an easy-to-use buggy that has enhanced features. It is an entire travel system that includes a lie-flat carrycot designed for newborns, a multi-position forward and rear facing pushchair seat as well as a choice of group 0+ car seat, meaning you can get everything you need in one package.
The XL Air is a very impressive buggy. 3 wheeled pushchair to understand 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 extremely simple to build. I was able to get it up and running in just five minutes. This is amazing considering that it included attaching fabric for 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 has plenty of space and I find it nice that the handle bar comes with an area to keep your keys and phone secure.
The handlebar is low, which may be an issue for parents who are taller. It's covered in a soft, comfortable leather-like material, and is easy to wipe down.
Hauck Pushchair Runner
The Runner is designed for parents who enjoy exploring and are always on the go. The large pneumatic wheels are able to be used on forest and field trails. The front wheel can be locked and can be rotated to allow for greater versatility. It also comes with a padded 5-point safety harness and a front bar to keep your little one secure on all journeys while the parking brake effectively stops the stroller from moving while you are taking a break. The comfortable seat is easy to lower to a lying position, and the canopy can be opened to allow with netting to ensure maximum air circulation on hot days. The handle can be adjusted by more than 30cm to accommodate the needs of dad or mum.
The Runner will accompany you on all your adventures whether it's a leisurely walk, a longer hike, or a long-distance walk. It comes with a lay-flat seat with suspension air wheels to ensure a smooth ride. The front wheel can be locked for greater stability on narrow streets and congested sidewalks and the stroller folds up easily to fit into 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 the opposite side of the push bar). The handlebars are higher than some competitors, so they might not be suitable for smaller parents. However the stroller is strong and a lot of fun, and is worth considering by families with active children.
Red Kite Push Me moving
Red Kite's Pace is a great product from the budget-friendly British brand. They are well-known for their well-designed, no-fuss products that are essentials for parents. It's the most recent and most expensive version of their bargain light stroller line. It as with the Ickle Bubba Aurora and Yoyo is car seat compatible so you can use it from birth (the carrycot folds away).
The new Pace boasts some fantastic design touches such as the rose gold hue to the hood, chassis and stroller trims to truly distinguish it from its competitors. The grey, tan and cream fabrics in the stroller and the car seat are super elegant and there is the option of adding a co-ordinating handle for the cover and bumper bar, too.
The stroller seat is used from birth up to 22kg. It easily converts to a two-in-one reversible position, either parent-facing or facing the world. The stroller seat has multi lying positions, a softly padded leg rests and has an extendable sun canopy featuring hidden zip sections, a transparent flaps, and an retractable sun visor.
When folded, the Pace measures 56 33 x 43 x 32cm, which means it can be used as hand luggage with Easyjet and Ryanair among other airlines. Two buttons on either side are easy to use and can be clicked to lock it in the right position.
Bugaboo Fox 5,
Designed to be the ultimate all-terrain stroller, Bugaboo's new Fox 5 promises to do it all. Its unique chassis, which has a shorter wheel-distance, makes it more maneuverable than its predecessor. I put it to the test with my two children - one a toddler and another eight week old - over rough terrain, grassy woodland walks and even cobblestones.
The large puncture-proof wheels - either 22cm or a bit larger are able to handle different terrains. They also have a handy flap that opens or closes to let more air to enter if you need it and is a nice touch. It's a bit bigger than some pushchairs but it doesn't feel bulky or heavy when you're pushing it over bumpy surfaces.
The seat fabric is machine washable, as are the frame and faux leather grips are easy to wipe down. It's also quieter than many pushchairs and I felt safe using it in busy city streets. It comes with accessory points so you can attach footmuffs and parasols as well as changing bags or snack trays, and even snack tray. You can also use the hood to block rain and wind, though 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 put together the bassinet, and the same amount of time to convert it to the seat.

The large basket can accommodate all your essentials as well as market purchases, while the massive canopy offers protection from wind and sun. The front canopy can be unzipped to reveal two mesh peekaboos, which allow you to keep an eye on your baby.
The Ridge's reversible seat lets you to decide whether your child will face the world in front of them or you and its easy foot brake system is easy for new parents. The reversible handlebar on the back is a fantastic feature that lets you adjust it according to your height. And unlike some jogging strollers, the Ridge's fold is stable and stays upright when folded.
