Best 3 Wheel Pushchairs
All-terrain stroller that is lightweight durable, sturdy and provides excellent maneuverability. Its compact one-hand fold means it's easy to move and also freestanding when folded. The padded seat reclines to a near-flat position and there's a giant storage bin and canopy. Newborn suitability? Yes, with an additional carrycot.
A good suspension with air-filled tires will allow you to handle rough terrain. It's also suitable for jogging, although you should wait until your baby is at least 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 comes as an entire travel system that includes a lie-flat carrycot for infants, a movable forward and rear facing pushchair as well as a choice of a car seat, so you can have everything you need in one place.
The XL Air is a very impressive buggy. It's easy to understand why it's earned such high marks from customers. It's incredibly light - both the chassis and wheels weigh just 6.5kg and it's extremely simple to put together. I was able get it up and running in just five minutes. That's amazing considering that it included the fabric for the carrycot to be attached.
It has a comfortable, wide seat that was comfortable for Annie (who is 12 months) and the recline lever is very simple to use. The basket is spacious with plenty of room and I like that the handle bar comes with a pocket to keep your phone and keys safe.
The only slight downside is that the handlebar is low, which could be an issue for taller parents. But, it's covered with a luxurious leather-like material that is soft and comfy and wipes down easily, meaning it's still easy to push with bags and children in your hands!
Hauck Pushchair Runner
The Runner is designed for active parents who can't wait to go outside and explore. Its large pneumatic wheels are designed to be used on field and forest paths and the front wheel can be swivelled and locked for additional versatility. It also comes with a cushioned 5-point safety harness as well as a front bar to ensure your child is safe on all trips while the parking brake is able to stop the stroller from moving when you rest. The seat can be adjusted to lay down and the canopy can be opened maximum air circulation on hot days. The handle can be height-adjusted by more than 30 cm to accommodate dad's or mom's heights.
The Runner will accompany you on your next adventure whether it's a leisurely run, a more strenuous hike or a long distance trek. It comes with a lay-flat seat that has suspension air wheels for a smooth ride. The front wheel can be locked for greater stability on narrow streets or overcrowded sidewalks. The stroller can also be folded up to fit in car boot spaces and storage spaces.
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 those of some competitors, so they might not be suitable for smaller parents. However, this stroller is sturdy and versatile and should be considered for families with active children.
Red Kite Push Me pacing
Red Kite's Pace is a top product from the cost-effective British brand. They are renowned for their simple, well-designed products that are essentials for parents. It's the most recent and most expensive product in their bargain-priced lightweight stroller collection. It's also like the Ickle Bubba Aurora and Yoyo, is car seat adaptable so that you can use it from the beginning (the carrycot folds away).
The new Pace has some fantastic design elements, including a rose-gold shade on the chassis, hood, and stroller trims, which really set it apart. The grey, tan and cream fabrics on the stroller and the car seat are super stylish and there is the option of adding a co-ordinating leather handle for the cover and bumper bar as well.
The stroller seat is used from birth up to 22kg. It converts easily into a 2-in-1 reversible position, either facing the parent or world-facing. The stroller seat comes with multiple lie-back positions, comfortable padded leg rests, and an extended sun canopy with concealed zip sections and a transparent flap, and a retractable visor.
What's more, when it's folded it's Pace is 56 32 x 43 cm which is enough to qualify as hand luggage with Easyjet and Ryanair among other carriers. It's also simple to fold, thanks to two buttons on either side of the handlebar which just click 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 tested it alongside my two kids - an infant and an eight-week old - across rocky pavements as well as woodland walks that are grassy and even cobblestones.
The puncture-proof wheels are big in size - 22cm and a whopping 30cm - so they can cope with all kinds of terrain. They also have a handy flap that can open or closes to allow more air to enter if you need it and is a nice touch. It's a bit bigger than most pushchairs, but it isn't heavy or bulky when pushing over bumpy surfaces.
The seat fabric is machine washable and the frame and faux leather grips are simple to clean. It's also quieter than other pushchairs, and I was comfortable using it in busy city streets. Another benefit is that it comes with accessory points, meaning you can put in footmuffs, parasols, changing bags, and even a snack tray. The hood can be used to block the elements of wind and rain, but it's not waterproof. It's a single stroller, but you can attach their Comfort Wheeled Board (not included) to give your child a bit of legroom. The bassinet took 20 minutes to set up and a similar time to convert it into a seat.
UPPAbaby Ridge
Whether you enjoy an early morning run in the crisp air or a stroll under the stars, the UPPAbaby Ridge makes every moment a fun-filled adventure. This jogging stroller is all-terrain and is designed for maximum performance to keep your child and you both active.
The massive 12" and 16" foam-filled tires provide a smooth ride, no matter the terrain. The suspension is patented, allowing you to glide along woodland paths with minimal impact on your child's legs and rear. And the durable hand brake with a performance disc allows you to stop quickly, even when running downhill.
From bustling 3 wheeler pushchair to street performers singing, the Ridge navigates all your favorite city scenes with ease. Its large basket is big enough to hold your market finds and all the essentials for your baby, while the roomy canopy offers sun and wind protection. The large front canopy opens to reveal two peekaboo windows that allow you to observe your baby's surroundings.
The Ridge's reversible seat lets you to decide whether your child will face the world in front of them or you and its simple foot brake system is intuitive for parents who are new. A great feature is the reversible handlebar, which lets you adjust it to your height and preference. The Ridge's fold, in contrast to many jogging strollers is reliable and self-standing when folded.
iCandy Core
The new pushchair from iCandy is truly revolutionary, with lots of features that are really sure to amaze parents. It features a Multi-Mode wheelbase and a pioneering LED Visibility Hub Light, which is an innovation for the industry. It also features an integrated Ride-on Board, which helps save on future costs and makes it easy for an exhausted toddler to accompany you on family outings.

Like all iCandy pushchairs, this one is luxuriously designed and features high-end knitted jersey fabrics. 3 wheel pushchair as well as the handlebar that parents can adjust are made of soft leatherette.

It was impressive how easily it folded and collapsed, even with the seat unit still attached. And it fits easily into the boot or hallway which makes it ideal for travelling. The iCandy Core includes a variety of accessories, including a matching changing rucksack or liner or footmuff.
