Best 3 Wheel Pushchairs
All-terrain pushchair that offers lightweight durability and great maneuverability. Its compact one-hand fold makes it's easy to transport and freestanding when folded. The padded seat reclines to a nearly flat position and there's a giant storage bin and canopy. The suitability for newborns is 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 to jog. However, you should wait until the baby is at least 6 or 9 months old.
Ickle Bubba XL Air
This light pushchair made by Ickle Bubba is packed with lots of features that parents will love. This travel system includes a carrycot that is flat for infants as well as a dual-position rear and forward facing pushchair seat.
The XL Air is a really impressive buggy, and it's easy to see why it has received so many high marks from its customers. It's incredibly light - both the chassis and wheels weigh just 6.5kg - and it's also extremely simple to construct. I was able to get it up and running in less than five minutes - which is amazing considering that it included the ability to attach fabric to the carrycot.
It has a comfortable wide, comfortable seat that was comfortable for Annie (who is 12 months) and the recline lever is easy to use. The basket has plenty of room and I am impressed that the handle bar comes with an area to keep your keys and phone safe.
The only slight downside is that the handlebar is quite low, which could be an issue for taller parents. However, it's encased with a luxurious leather-like material that is soft and comfortable and cleans down easily, so it's still a breeze to push with bags and children on your hands!
Hauck Pushchair Runner
The Runner is a great choice for parents who love to explore and are always on the go. The large pneumatic wheels are able to be used on forest and field trails. The front wheel is lockable and can be rotated to increase the versatility. It also has a padded 5-point safety harness and a front bar to keep your little one safe on all trips while the parking brake reliably prevents the stroller from moving when you are taking a break. The seat can be adjusted to a laying position and the canopy can be opened for maximum air circulation during hot days. The handle can be adjusted by more than 30cm to fit the needs of dad or mum.
The Runner will accompany you on all your adventures, whether it's a quick run, a more strenuous hike or a long distance trek. It has a fully-flat lay-flat seat and suspension air wheels for an easy ride. The front wheel is lockable for more stability on narrow streets and crowded 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 little 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 handlebar is higher than the ones of competitors', so it might not be suitable for parents with shorter arms however, overall it's a sturdy and versatile stroller worthy of consideration for families with active kids.
Red Kite Push Me Pace
Red Kite's Pace is a top product from the affordable British brand. They are known for their well-designed, no-fuss products that are essential to parents. It's their latest and most expensive addition to their bargain lightweight stroller line. Similar to the Ickle Bubba Aurora or Yoyo, it is car seat compatible so you can use from birth.
lightweight 3 wheel pushchair boasts some fantastic design touches such as the rose gold tint of the chassis, hood and stroller trims that 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 can be used from birth up to 22kg. It converts easily to a two-in-one reversible position, either facing the parent or world-facing. The stroller seat has multi lie back positions, soft padded leg rest support and comes with an extendable sun canopy featuring concealed zip sections, viewing transparent flaps, and an retractable sun visor.
When folded, the Pace measures 56 inches x 43cm and 32 inches, which makes it suitable for hand luggage on Easyjet and Ryanair. It's also a breeze to collapse, with two buttons on either side of the handlebar 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 comes with a shorter wheel distance that makes it more maneuverable than its predecessor. I tried it out with my two kids eight weeks old and a toddler - on rough pavements, grassy wooded walks and even cobblestones.
The puncture-proof wheels are big - 22cm and 30cm - so they can cope with lots of different terrains. The wheels come with a flap that can be closed or opened to let more air in when required. It's a bit bigger than some pushchairs but doesn't feel heavy or bulky when you're pushing it across bumpy surfaces.
The fabric of the seat is machine washable, and the frame and faux leather grips are easy to clean. It is also quieter than other pushchairs, and I felt at ease in the city streets. Another benefit is that it incorporates accessory points. This means you can add footmuffs, parasols, changing bags, and even a snack tray. The hood can be used to block rain and wind, but it's not waterproof. It's a single pram but you can add their Comfort Wheeled Board (not included) to give your child a bit of leg room. It took about 20 minutes to assemble the bassinet, and a similar amount of time to convert it into the seat.
UPPAbaby Ridge
If you're taking an early morning run under the stars or a moonlit walk in the crisp air, the UPPAbaby Ridge transforms every moment into a shared experience. This jogging stroller is all-terrain and has been designed to perform to keep your child and you active.
The massive foam-filled 12" and 16 "tires provide an easy ride regardless of the terrain.

And the durable performance disc hand brake allows you to stop quickly, even while jogging downhill.

The large basket is able to hold all your essentials as well as market purchases, while the large canopy provides sun and wind protection. The front canopy can be unzipped to reveal two mesh peekaboos that allow you to monitor your baby.
The Ridge's reversible seat allows you to choose if your child is facing you or the world ahead. Its simple foot brake system makes it easy for new parents. A fantastic feature is the reversible handlebar which lets you adjust it to your height and preference. The Ridge's fold, unlike other jogging strollers is reliable and self-standing when folded.

It also has an integrated Ride-on Board which helps save on future costs and makes it simple for an exhausted toddler to accompany your family on outings.
The Core can be bought as a stand-alone unit or as an entire travel system. it works with most popular car seats from brands such as Cybex, Maxi Cosi and Joie.
