Best 3 Wheel Pushchairs
All-terrain pushchair with light weight and excellent maneuverability. The compact fold using one hand makes it easy to transport. It also stands on its own when folded. The padded seat reclines to a near-flat position, and there's a huge storage bin and canopy. Baby suitability: Yes, with a separate carrycot (not suitable for sleeping overnight).
A good suspension and air-filled tires will allow you to navigate the rough terrain. You can also use it for jogging. But, you should wait until the baby is at minimum 6 or 9 months old.
Ickle Bubba XL Air
This lightweight pushchair by Ickle Bubba comes with a variety of features that parents will love. The travel system comes with a lie flat carrycot for babies and a dual-position rear and forward facing seat for a pushchair.
The XL Air is a very impressive buggy. It's easy to understand why it's earned praise from customers. It is incredibly lightweight The chassis and wheels weigh only 6.5kg. It's also very easy to assemble. In fact, I was able to put it up and running in just five minutes, which is impressive considering it included a strapping of the fabric for the carrycot!
It has a lovely wide, comfortable seat that is comfortable for Annie (who is 12 months old) and the recline lever is simple to use. The basket has plenty of space, and I like that the handle bar has a pocket to keep your phone and keys safe.
The handlebar is low, which may be an issue for parents who are taller. It's covered in a soft, comfortable leather-like material, which is easy to clean.
Hauck Pushchair Runner
The Runner is made for sporty parents who want to go outside and explore. The large pneumatic wheels are able to be used on forest and field paths. The front wheel can be locked and swivels to allow for greater versatility. The stroller also comes with five-point safety harnesses with a front bar that keeps your child safe on all journeys. The parking brake keeps the stroller stationary as you take a break. The seat can be adjusted to lay down and the canopy can be opened to allow for maximum air circulation during hot days. The handle can be height-adjusted by more than 30 cm to accommodate dad's or mom's heights.
If you're planning short jogs or a hike that lasts a while, the Runner is ready to join you on your journeys with a comfortable, flat lie-flat seat and suspension air wheels that guarantee a bump-free ride. The front wheel can be locked for 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 reported that 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 either side of the push bar). The handlebar is higher than the ones of competitors which means it might not suit shorter parents, but overall this is an extremely sturdy and flexible stroller that is worth a look for families with active children.
Red Kite Push Me Pace
The Pace is another great offering from Red Kite, an affordable British brand which prides itself on making well-designed and no-fuss essentials for parents. It's the most recent - and priciest - version of their bargain light stroller line. It as with the Ickle Bubba Aurora and Yoyo is car seat compatible which means you can use it from birth (the carrycot folds away).
The new Pace has some fantastic design features, like rose-gold hues on the chassis, hood and stroller trims that really distinguish it from. The cream, grey, and tan fabrics on the stroller and the car seat are super fashionable and there's the option of adding an coordinating handle for the cover and bumper bar too.
The stroller seat is used from birth until a maximum weight of 22kg. It converts easily into a reversible 2-in-1 position, either facing the parent or world-facing. The stroller seat has multiple lie-back positions, softly padded legs rests and an extendable sun canopy with hidden zip sections, a viewing see-through flap, and retractable visor.
When folded, the Pace measures 56 x 43cm x 32cm, which is perfect for hand luggage on Easyjet and Ryanair. Two buttons on each side are easy to utilize and press to lock it in place.
Bugaboo Fox 5
Bugaboo's Fox 5 is designed to be the ultimate, all-terrain stroller. Its unique chassis, which has a shorter wheel-distance, makes it more mobile than its predecessor. I tried it out with my two kids - a toddler and an eight-week old - across rough terrain along woodland paths, grassy trails and even cobblestones.
The large, puncture-proof wheels - 22cm or 30cm in diameter - can handle different terrains. The wheels have flaps that can be shut or opened to let air in when required. It's a little larger than other pushchairs, but it doesn't feel bulky or heavy when you are pushing it across bumpy surfaces.
The fabric of the seat is machine washable, as are the frame and faux leather grips are easy to wipe down. It's also much quieter than many pushchairs and I felt confident using it on busy city streets. A bonus feature is that it incorporates accessory points. This means you can add footmuffs parasols, changing bags, and even a snack tray. You can also use the hood to block rain and wind, though it's not particularly waterproof. The single pram can be outfitted with the Comfort Wheeled Board (not included), which gives your child more legroom. It took about 20 minutes to put together the bassinet, and a similar amount of time to convert it into the seat.
UPPAbaby Ridge
