Best 3 Wheel Pushchairs
All-terrain pushchair with lightweight durability and excellent maneuverability. The compact fold using one hand makes it simple to move. It can also stand on its own when folded. The cushioned seat reclines into a nearly flat position, and there's a huge storage bin and canopy. Newborn suitability: Yes, with a separate carrycot (not suitable for sleeping overnight).
Air-filled tyres and a good suspension will handle rough terrain well. You can also use it to jog. However, you must wait until your baby is at minimum 6 or 9 months old.
Ickle Bubba XL Air
This lightweight pushchair by Ickle Bubba comes with a variety of features that parents will enjoy. The travel system comes with an adjustable carrycot that can be folded flat for infants as well as a dual-position rear and forward facing pushchair seat.
The XL Air is a very impressive buggy. It's easy to comprehend why it's received such high marks 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 complete the entire setup and running in just five minutes, which is amazing given that it included a strapping of the fabric for the carrycot!
It has a nice, wide seat that is comfortable for Annie (who is 12 months old) and the recline lever is simple to use. The basket is spacious with plenty of space, and I am impressed that the handle bar has an area to keep your keys and phone secure.
The handlebar is a bit low, which can be a problem 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 designed for active parents who can't wait to go outside and explore. The large pneumatic wheels are designed to be used on field and forest trails and the front wheel can be rotated and locked to give you more flexibility. The stroller comes with five-point safety harnesses with a front bar to keep your child safe during all trips. The parking brake keeps the stroller in place as you take a break. The comfy seat is easy to adjust down to a comfortable lying position, and the canopy can be opened to allow with netting to ensure maximum air circulation during hot days. The handle can be adjusted by more than 30cm to accommodate the needs of dad or mum.
The Runner will accompany you on your next adventure, whether it's a quick run, a more strenuous hike, or a long-distance walk. It comes with a lay-flat seat that has suspension air wheels to ensure a smooth ride. The front wheel can be locked for more stability on narrow streets or overcrowded sidewalks. The stroller can also be folded in order to fit into car boot spaces and storage spaces.
The Runner 2 is a bit more difficult to navigate for some parents than its predecessor. Also, the locking system (requiring two buttons either on either side of the handlebar) isn't as user-friendly. The handlebars are higher than the ones of other competitors, and therefore may not be suitable for smaller parents. However the stroller is durable and a lot of fun and should be considered by active families.
Red Kite Push Me Pace
The Pace is a different great product from Red Kite, an affordable British brand which prides itself on making simple and well-designed essentials for parents. It's their latest and most expensive addition to the bargain lightweight stroller line. Similar to the Ickle Bubba Aurora or Yoyo it's car seat compatible, meaning you can use it from the time of birth.
The new Pace features some stunning design touches such as the rose gold hue to the hood, chassis and stroller trims that truly distinguish it from its rivals. The car seat and stroller fabrics are fashionable in grey, tan, and cream. You can also add the handle in leather and the bumper bar to match.
The stroller seat is used from birth to a maximum weight of 22kg. It converts easily into a reversible 2-in-1 position, either parent-facing or facing the world. The stroller seat offers multiple lie-back positions, softly padded leg rests and has an extendable sun canopy featuring concealed zip sections, a viewing through flaps and an adjustable sun visor.
What's more, when it's folded it's Pace measures up at 56 33 x 43 x 32cm, which is enough to qualify as hand luggage with Easyjet and Ryanair, among other carriers. Two buttons on each side are easy to utilize and press to lock it in place.
Bugaboo Fox 5
Bugaboo's Fox 5 is designed to be the ultimate all-terrain stroller. Its unique chassis, which has a shorter wheel-distance, makes it much more maneuverable than its predecessor. I tried it out with my two kids - one a toddler and another eight-week old - across rough terrain as well as woodland walks that are grassy and even cobblestones.
The large puncture-proof wheels, which measure 22cm or 30cm in diameter are able to handle various terrains. The wheels have flaps that can be closed or opened to let air in when required. It's a bit bigger than some pushchairs but doesn't feel heavy or bulky when you are pushing it over bumpy surfaces.
The fabric for the seat is machine washable, and the faux leather grips and frame are easy to clean. It is also quieter than other pushchairs, and I felt comfortable with it on busy city streets. One of the advantages is that it comes with accessory points, which means you can put in footmuffs, parasols, changing bags and even a tray for snacks. You can also use the hood to block out rain and wind, but it's not waterproof. The single pram can be fitted with the Comfort Wheeled board (not included) that gives your child more leg room. It took around 20 minutes to put together the bassinet, and the same amount of time to convert it into the seat.
UPPAbaby Ridge
If you're taking a morning jog under the stars or taking a moonlit walk in the crisp air, the UPPAbaby Ridge turns every moment into a shared one. This jogging stroller is all-terrain and has been optimized for performance to keep you and your child active.
The huge 12" and 16" foam-filled tires provide an effortless ride, regardless of the terrain. The suspension is patented, allowing you to glide across woodland paths with minimal impact on your child's legs as well as rear. The durable performance disc hand brake allows you to stop quickly, even while running downhill.
From bustling farmers markets to street musicians performing a tune The Ridge can navigate all your city's most popular scenes effortlessly. The spacious basket can hold everything you need and market purchases, while the huge canopy offers sun and wind protection. The large front canopy unzips to reveal two mesh peekaboo windows that make it easy to observe your baby's surroundings.
The Ridge's reversible seating lets you choose whether your child is facing you or the world ahead. The simple foot brake system makes it easy for parents who are new. The reversible handlebar on the back is a great feature that allows you to adjust it to suit your height. And unlike other strollers that jog, the Ridge's fold is stable and stays upright when folded.
iCandy Core
The new iCandy pushchair comes with a variety of features that will really impress parents. It features a Multi-Mode wheelbase and an LED Visibility Hub light that is an industry first. It comes with a built-in Ride-on Board that helps reduce future costs, and allows tired toddlers to join the family on outings.
3 wheeled pushchairs is available as either a travel system or single seat. It works with most popular car seats, including the ones from Cybex Maxi Cosi Joie.

The child's bumper bar as well as the handlebar that parents can adjust are made of soft leatherette. The calf support that folds away are also extremely comfortable for children.
It was impressive how easily it folded and collapsed even with the seat unit attached. It is easily tucked away in your car or hallway which makes it perfect for travel. The iCandy Core comes with lots of additional accessories, including a colour matching changing rucksack and footmuff/liner.
