Best 3 Wheel Pushchairs
All-terrain stroller that is lightweight, durable and offers great maneuverability. The compact fold using one hand makes it easy to carry. It also stands on its own when folded. The cushioned seat reclines into a nearly flat position, and there is a large storage bin and canopy. The suitability for newborns is yes, with an additional carrycot.
Air-filled tyres and a good suspension can handle rough terrain. It's also suitable for jogging but you should wait until your baby is at least six or nine months old before doing this.
Ickle Bubba XL Air
This pushchair from Ickle Bubba is a brilliant option for parents looking for an easy-to-use buggy that has enhanced features. It is an all-in-one travel system that includes a lie-flat carrycot suitable for infants, a multi-position forward and rear facing pushchair seat and a selection of a car seat, so you can have everything in one package.
The XL Air is a really impressive car and it's easy to understand why it has been awarded so many praises from customers. It is incredibly lightweight with the chassis and wheels weigh only 6.5kg. It is also very simple to put together. In fact I was able complete the entire setup and running in less than five minutes, which is pretty amazing considering that it also included attaching the fabric for the carrycot!
The seat is spacious and comfortable for Annie who is just 12 months old. The recline lever was simple to operate. There's plenty of space in the basket and I am awestruck by the fact that it comes with a zip-up compartment in the handle bar so that you can keep your phone and keys safe!
The handlebar is a bit low, which can be an issue for parents who are taller. It's covered with soft, supple leather-like material, which is easy to wipe down.
Hauck Pushchair Runner
The Runner is made for sporty parents who can't wait to get outside and explore. The large pneumatic wheels are designed to be used on forest and field paths and the front wheel can be swivelled and locked for extra versatility. The stroller also comes with a 5-point safety harness with an adjustable front bar that will keep your child safe on all journeys. The parking brake will keep the stroller on its feet while you rest. The seat can be repositioned to lay flat and the canopy can be opened for maximum air circulation during hot days. The handle can be adjusted by more than 30 cm to accommodate mum or dad's heights.
The Runner will accompany you on all your adventures whether it's a leisurely walk, a longer hike or a long distance trek. It features a completely flat lay-flat seat and suspension air wheels to ensure a smooth ride. The front wheel can be locked for greater stability on narrow streets or overcrowded sidewalks. The stroller can also be folded in order to fit into car boot spaces or storage areas.
The Runner 2 is a bit more difficult to maneuver for some parents than its predecessor. Additionally the locking system (requiring two buttons on either on either side of the handlebar) isn't as user-friendly. The handlebar is higher than some competitors which means it might not be suitable for parents with shorter arms but overall, it's a sturdy and versatile stroller that's worth a look for families with active children.
Red Kite Push Me Pace
The Pace is a great option from Red Kite, an affordable British brand that prides itself on making simple and well-designed parenting essentials. It's their latest and most expensive addition to their bargain lightweight stroller line. Similar to the Ickle Bubba Aurora or Yoyo it's car seat compatible, meaning it can be used from birth.
The new Pace features some stunning design elements, including rose-gold hues on the chassis, hood and stroller trims that truly make it stand out. The grey, tan and cream fabrics on the stroller and the car seat are fashionable and there's an option to add a co-ordinating leather handle for the cover and bumper bar, too.
It is suitable from birth up to a max weight of 22kg and the stroller seat converts easily from a carrycot to a 2-in-1 reversible mode, parent-facing or world-facing. The stroller seat has multi lie back positions, soft padded leg rest support and an extendable sun canopy featuring concealed zip sections, viewing through flaps and an adjustable 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. Two buttons on each side are easy to use and can be clicked into the appropriate position.
Bugaboo Fox 5
Created to be the ultimate all-terrain stroller, Bugaboo's latest Fox 5 promises to do it all. Its unique chassis, which has a shorter wheel-distance, makes it much more mobile than its predecessor. I tested it with my two kids - an eight-week-old and a toddler - on rocky pavements along with grassy wooded trails and even cobblestones.
The puncture-proof wheels are huge with a diameter of 22cm and 30cm which means they can handle all kinds of terrain. They also come with a handy flap that can open or closes to allow more air to enter should you need it this is a nice touch. It's slightly larger than most pushchairs, yet doesn't feel heavy or bulky when you push it over bumpy surfaces.
The seat fabric is machine washable, and the frame and faux leather grips are simple to wipe down. It is also quieter than other pushchairs and I felt comfortable using it in busy city streets. It has built-in accessory points, so you can attach footmuffs and parasols and also changing bags, snack trays, and even snack tray. You can also use the hood to block rain and wind, though it isn't particularly waterproof. The single pram is able to be fitted with the Comfort Wheeled board (not included) which allows your child more legroom. The bassinet took around 20 minutes to set-up, and it took the same amount of time to transform it into an actual seat.

The Ridge's reversible seat allows you to choose if your child faces you, or the world in front. Its simple foot brake system makes it intuitive for parents who are just starting out. The reversible handlebar is a great feature that lets you adjust it to suit your height. In contrast to other strollers for jogging the Ridge folds solid and self-standing when folded.
