Best 3 Wheel Pushchairs
All-terrain stroller is light and durable. It also offers excellent maneuverability. Its compact one-hand fold means it's lightweight and is freestanding when folded. The padded seat reclines into a nearly flat position, and there is a large storage bin and canopy. The suitability for newborns is yes and with a carrycot.
Good suspension and air-filled tyres will handle rough terrain well. It's also suitable for jogging but you should wait until your baby is six or nine months old before doing this.
Ickle Bubba XL Air
This lightweight pushchair from Ickle Bubba comes with a variety of features that parents will appreciate. It is an entire travel system that includes a lie-flat carrycot for infants, a multi-position forward and rear facing pushchair seat and a selection of group 0+ car seat, so you can get everything in one package.
The XL Air is a really impressive car, and it's easy to see why it's received such high praise from its customers. It is extremely light with the chassis and wheels weigh just 6.5kg. It's extremely easy to put together. I was able get it up and running in less than five minutes. That's amazing considering that it includes the fabric for the carrycot to be attached.
It has a lovely wide seat that was comfortable for Annie (who is 12 months) and the recline lever is very easy to operate. There's a good amount of space in the basket and I am awestruck by 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 a bit low, which can be an issue for parents who are taller. It's covered with a soft, comfy leather-like material that is easy to wipe down.
Hauck Pushchair Runner
The Runner is for parents who love to explore and are always on the go. The large pneumatic wheels are able to be used on field and forest trails. The front wheel is lockable and can be swiveled to allow for greater versatility. It also comes with a cushioned 5-point safety harness and a front bar to ensure your child is safe on all trips and the parking brake is able to stop the stroller from moving even when you rest. The comfortable seat is easy to adjust down to a comfortable lying position, and the canopy opens up with netting to ensure maximum air circulation on hot days. The handle can be height-adjusted by more than 30cm to accommodate mum or dad's heights.
Whether you're going for short jogs or a hike that lasts a while, the Runner will be there to accompany you on all your adventures with a comfortable, flat lie-flat seat and suspension air wheels that promise a bump-free ride. The front wheel can be locked for more stability on narrow streets or crowded sidewalks. The stroller can also be folded up to fit in car boot spaces or storage spaces.
Some parents have reported that 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 each side of the push bar). The handlebars are a bit higher than those of some competitors, and therefore may not be suitable for taller parents. However the stroller is durable and versatile, and is worth considering by families with active children.
Red Kite Push Me Pace
Red Kite's Pace is a fantastic product from the cost-effective British brand. They are well-known for their clean, well-designed products that are essentials for parents. It's the most recent and most expensive addition to their bargain lightweight stroller range and like the Ickle Bubba Aurora and Yoyo, is car seat adaptable so that you can use it from birth (the carrycot folds away).
The new Pace features some stunning design features, including a rose gold tint to the hood, chassis and stroller trims, which make it stand out from its competition. The cream, grey, and tan fabrics on the stroller and the car seat are super elegant and there is the option of adding an coordinating handle for the cover and bumper bar too.
The stroller seat is used from birth to 22kg. It converts easily into a 2-in-1 reversible position, which is either parent-facing or world-facing. The stroller seat comes with multiple lie-back positions, softly padded legs rests and an extendable sun canopy with concealed zip sections with a view-through flap, and retractable visor.
When folded, the Pace measures 56 33cm x 43cm x 32cm which allows it to be used as hand luggage on Easyjet and Ryanair. Two buttons on either side are easy to use and click into the right position.
Bugaboo Fox 5
The idea behind it is to create the ultimate all-terrain stroller, Bugaboo's latest Fox 5 promises to do everything. Its unique chassis comes with shorter wheel length which makes it easier to maneuver than its predecessor. I tried it out with my two children - a toddler and an eight-week-old - on rocky pavements, grassy woodland walks and even cobblestones.
The wheels that are puncture-proof are large - 22cm and 30cm - which means they can handle lots of different terrains. The wheels have flaps that can be shut or opened to let more air in when needed. It's a little larger than other pushchairs, but does not feel heavy or bulky when you're pushing it over bumpy surfaces.
The seat fabric is machine washable, and the frame and faux leather grips are easy to wipe down. It's also much quieter than many pushchairs and I felt comfortable using it in busy city streets. It comes with accessory points, so you can attach parasols and footmuffs and also changing bags, snack trays, and even snack trays. You can also use the hood to block wind and rain, although 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 around 20 minutes to put together the bassinet, and the same amount of time to transform it into the seat.
UPPAbaby Ridge
If you're looking forward to running in the morning cool air or a stroll under the stars, the UPPAbaby Ridge makes every moment a shared adventure. This all-terrain stroller was designed to keep you and your child active.
The massive 12" and 16" foam-filled tires provide an easy ride, regardless of the terrain. The suspension system that is patent-pending allows you to glide effortlessly on woodland paths while minimizing the impact on your child's legs and rear. The handbrake with a performance disc lets you stop quickly, even when jogging on an uphill slope.
From bustling farmers markets to street performers performing a tune, the Ridge navigates all your favorite city scenes with ease. The spacious basket can accommodate your finds from the market and all of your baby's essentials, while the roomy canopy provides sun and wind protection. The oversized front canopy also unzips to reveal two mesh peekaboo windows that allow you to observe your baby's surroundings.
The Ridge's reversible seating allows you to decide whether your child will face you or the world that lies ahead and its easy foot brake system is intuitive for new parents. The reversible handlebar on the back is a great feature that allows you to adjust it to your height. The Ridge's fold, unlike many jogging strollers is reliable and self-standing when folded.
