Best 3 Wheel Pushchairs
All-terrain stroller is light, durable and offers great maneuverability. The compact fold using one hand makes it easy to carry. It can also stand on its own when folded. The cushioned seat reclines to a nearly flat position, and there's a huge storage bin and canopy. The suitability for newborns is yes and with a separate carrycot (not suitable for sleeping overnight).
Good suspension and air-filled tyres will handle rough terrain well. 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 lightweight pushchair from Ickle Bubba comes with a variety of features that parents will appreciate. It comes as an all-in-one travel system that includes a lie-flat carrycot designed for newborns, a multi-position forward and rear-facing pushchair seat and a selection of a car seat, so you can get everything you need in one package.
The XL Air is a really impressive vehicle, and it's easy to see why it's been awarded so many praises from customers. It's extremely light - the wheels and chassis weigh just 6.5kg - and it's also extremely simple to put together. In fact, I was able to get the whole thing up and running in less than five minutes, which is pretty amazing given that it included attaching the fabric for the carrycot!
It has a nice, wide seat that is comfortable for Annie (who is 12 months) and the recline lever is very easy to use. The basket has plenty of space, and I find it nice that the handle bar comes with an area to keep your phone and keys secure.
The handlebar is a bit low, which could be an issue for parents who are taller. It's covered in a soft, comfortable leather-like material that is easy to wipe down.
Hauck Pushchair Runner
The Runner is a great choice for parents who love to explore and are always on the move. The large pneumatic wheels can be used on field and forest paths. The front wheel can be locked and swivels to increase the flexibility. It also comes with a cushioned 5-point safety harness and front bar to keep your little one safe throughout your journey while the parking brake is able to stop the stroller from moving when you rest. The seat can be repositioned to a laying position and the canopy can be opened to allow for maximum air circulation during hot days. The handle can be adjusted by more than 30 cm to accommodate mum or dad's heights.
If you're planning an easy jog or a long hike The Runner will be there to accompany you on your journeys with a reclining, fully-flat seat and suspension air wheels that promise a bump-free ride. The front wheel can be locked for more stability when walking on narrow streets or busy sidewalks. The stroller can also be folded in order to fit into car boot spaces or storage spaces.
Some parents have reported that the Runner 2 to be a little more difficult to maneuver than its predecessor, and the locking system isn't as user-friendly (requiring two buttons on each side of the push bar). The handlebars are higher than some competitors, and therefore may not be suitable for shorter parents. However the stroller is durable and adaptable and should be considered for 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 known for their well-designed, no-fuss products that are essential to parents. It's the newest - and priciest - addition to their bargain lightweight stroller range and like the Ickle Bubba Aurora and Yoyo it's car seat-compatible so you can use it from the beginning (the carrycot folds away).
The new Pace has some fantastic design elements, including a rose-gold tint on the chassis, hood and stroller trims that truly distinguish it from. The grey, tan and cream fabrics on the stroller and the car seat are super elegant and there is the option of adding a co-ordinating leather cover handle and bumper bar as well.
The stroller seat is used from birth up to a maximum weight of 22kg. It easily converts to a two-in-one reversible position, either facing the parent or world-facing. The stroller seat has multi lying positions, a comfortable padded leg rests and has an extendable sun canopy featuring concealed zip sections, a viewing see through flap and an retractable sun visor.
What's more, when it's folded, the Pace measures 56 33 x 43 x 32cm, which is enough to qualify as hand luggage with Easyjet and Ryanair among other airlines. 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 has a shorter wheel width, making it more manoeuvrable than its predecessor. I tried it with my two children one of whom is eight weeks old and the other toddler - on rocky roads as well as grassy wooded paths and even cobblestones.
The wheels that are puncture-proof are large with a diameter of 22cm and 30cm therefore they are able to handle lots of different terrains. They also have a handy flap that can open or closes to allow more air to circulate when you require it and is a nice feature. It's a bit bigger than other pushchairs, however it doesn't feel bulky or heavy when you push it over bumpy surfaces.
The fabric for the seat is machine washable, and the faux leather frame and grips are easy to clean. It's also quieter than other pushchairs, and I felt comfortable with it on busy urban streets. One of the advantages is that it incorporates accessory points, which 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 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 assemble the bassinet, and the same amount of time to convert it to the seat.
UPPAbaby Ridge
Whether you're enjoying an early morning run under the stars or taking a moonlit walk in the crisp air, the UPPAbaby Ridge turns every moment into a shared one. This all-terrain stroller was designed to keep you and the child engaged.
The huge 12" and 16" foam-filled tires provide a smooth ride, regardless of the terrain. The suspension is patented, allowing you to glide along paths in the woods with less impact on your child's legs as well as rear. And the durable performance disc hand brake allows you to stop quickly, even while running downhill.
The Ridge is at home in all city scenes, from bustling farmers' markets to the street musicians playing music. Its large basket is big enough to hold your market finds and all of your baby's essentials while the large canopy offers sun and wind protection. The canopy's large front unzips to reveal two mesh windows that allow you to observe your baby's surroundings.
The Ridge's reversible seat allows you to choose whether your child faces you or the world ahead and its simple foot brake system is intuitive for new parents. One of the best features is the reversible handlebar, which lets you adjust it to your height and preferences. The Ridge's fold, unlike other strollers for jogging, is sturdy and self-standing when folded.
iCandy Core
The new iCandy pushchair comes with a variety of features that will impress parents. 3 wheeled pushchair has a Multi-Mode wheelbase and LED Visibility Hub light, which is the first of its kind in the market. It also features an integrated Ride-on Board, which will save you money in the future and makes it easier for a tired toddler to accompany you on family outings.
The Core is available as an entire travel system or as a single seat. It is compatible with the most popular car seats, such as the ones from Cybex Maxi Cosi Joie. It is the largest seat unit of the iCandy line, so you can use it to help your baby's start and beyond. It's a gorgeously designed pushchair, and it features premium knitted fabrics. The child's adjustable bumper bar as well as the handlebar that parents can adjust are made of soft leatherette. The calf support that folds away is also very comfortable for children.
It was quite impressive how quickly it folded and collapsed, even with the seat unit still attached. It can easily fit in your boot or hallway, making it ideal for travelling. The iCandy Core comes with lots of extra accessories, including a rucksack with a color match and a footmuff/liner.
