Best 3 Wheel Pushchairs

All-terrain pushchair that provides lightweight durability and great maneuverability. Its compact one-hand fold makes it's lightweight and is 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.

Air-filled tyres and a good suspension will handle rough terrain well. It's also suitable for jogging but you should wait until your Baby Jogger Summit X3 - Midnight Black Pushchair (visit my home page) is at least six or nine months old to do this.

Ickle Bubba Air

This lightweight pushchair from Ickle Bubba is packed with lots of features that parents will love. This travel system includes an adjustable carrycot that can be folded flat for infants as well as a dual-position forward and rear facing seat for the pushchair.

The XL Air is a really impressive car and it's simple to see why it has received such high praise from customers. It's incredibly light - the chassis and wheels weigh only 6.5kg and it's easy to construct. In fact I was able get the whole thing up and running in less than five minutes, which is amazing given that it included the tying of the fabric to the carrycot!

The seat is large and comfortable for Annie who is just 12 months old. The recline lever was easy to operate. The basket has plenty of space, and I find it nice that the handle bar comes with a pocket to keep your keys and phone safe.

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, and is easy to wipe down.

Hauck Pushchair Runner

The Runner is designed for athletic parents who can't wait to go outside and explore. The large pneumatic wheels are designed to be used on field and forest paths, and the front wheel can be rotated and locked to give you more flexibility. It also comes with a cushioned 5-point safety harness and a front bar to ensure your child is safe throughout your journey and the parking brake effectively stops the stroller from moving when you are taking a break. The comfortable seat is simple to adjust down to a lying position, and the canopy can be opened to allow netting for optimum air circulation on hot days. The handle can be adjusted by more than 30cm, to fit mom or dad.

The Runner will accompany you on your next adventure, whether it's a quick run, a more strenuous hike or a long-distance trek. It comes with a lay-flat seat with suspension air wheels to ensure a smooth ride. The front wheel is lockable to provide more stability on narrow streets and overcrowded sidewalks and the stroller folds up easily to fit in car boot spaces and storage areas.

The Runner 2 is a bit more difficult to navigate for some parents than its predecessor. Also the locking system (requiring two buttons on either side of the handlebar) is less user-friendly. The handlebars are a bit higher than those of some competitors, so they might not be suitable for taller parents. However the stroller is durable and versatile and is a good option by families with active children.

Red Kite Push Me Pace

Red Kite's Pace is a top product from the affordable British brand. They are renowned for their simple, well-designed products that are essential for parents. It's the latest and most expensive addition to their bargain lightweight stroller range and, like the Ickle Bubba Aurora and Yoyo is car seat compatible which means you can use it right from birth (the carrycot folds away).

The new Pace has some fantastic design elements, including rose-gold hues on the hood, chassis and stroller trims that truly set it apart. The cream, grey, and tan fabrics used in the stroller as well as the car seat are super stylish and there is the option of adding an coordinating handle for the cover and bumper bar as well.

It's suitable for babies up to a max weight of 22kg. The stroller seat can easily be converted from the carrycot to the 2-in-1 reversible mode. It can be parent or world-facing. The stroller seat features multiple lie-back positions, softly padded legs rests and an extendable sun canopy that has concealed zip sections with a view-through flap, and a retractable visor.

What's more, when it's folded in half, the Pace is 56 33 x 43 x 32cm, which is enough to qualify as hand luggage with Easyjet and Ryanair among others. It's also easy to fold down, using two buttons on the handlebar's opposite side which just click in and then pop out.

Bugaboo Fox 5

Designed to be the ultimate all-terrain stroller, Bugaboo's newest Fox 5 promises to do it all. Its unique chassis, coupled with a shorter wheel-distance makes it more agile than its predecessor. I put it to the test with my two children - a toddler and an eight-week old - across rocky pavements as well as woodland walks that are grassy and even cobblestones.

The large, puncture-proof wheels - either 22cm or a bit larger are able to handle a variety of terrains. The wheels come with an opening that can be closed or opened to let more air in when needed. It's a bit bigger than some pushchairs, but it does not feel heavy or bulky when pushing it across bumpy surfaces.

The seat fabric is machine washable, and the frame and faux leather grips are easy to clean. It's also quieter than other pushchairs, and I felt comfortable using it on busy city streets. It has integrated accessory points, so you can attach footmuffs and parasols along with 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. It's a single pram, but you can attach their Comfort Wheeled Board (not included) to give your child more legroom. It took around 20 minutes to put together the bassinet, and the same amount of time to convert it to the seat.

UPPAbaby Ridge

No matter if you're enjoying an early morning run under the stars or taking a moonlit walk in the cool air, the UPPAbaby Ridge turns every moment into a shared one. This jogging stroller is all-terrain and has been designed to perform to keep you and your child active.

The massive 12" and 16" foam-filled tires give you an easy ride, regardless of 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 reliable performance disc hand brake allows you to stop quickly, even when jogging downhill.

The Ridge is at its best in every city scene, from bustling farmers' markets to street musicians performing music. The large basket is able to hold all your essentials and market purchases, while the huge canopy offers protection from wind and sun. The oversized front canopy also opens to reveal two mesh peekaboo windows that make it simple to keep an eye on your child's surroundings.

The Ridge's reversible seat lets you to decide if your child is facing you or the world that lies ahead, and its simple foot brake system is intuitive for new parents. One of the best features is the reversible handlebar, that allows you to 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

iCandy’s new pushchair has many features that will be awe-inspiring to parents. It features a Multi-Mode wheelbase as well as an LED Visibility Hub light, which is the first of its kind in the market. It has a built-in Ride-on Board that saves on future costs, and lets tired toddlers join the family when they go on excursions.

The Core is available as an entire travel system or as a single seat. It works with most popular car seats, such as those from Cybex Maxi Cosi Joie. It also has the largest seat in the iCandy range, which means it will last your baby's first years and beyond. It's a luxuriously designed pushchair that has Premium Baby Jogger Stroller for Active Parents knitted fabrics. The adjustable handlebar for parents and child's detachable bumper bar are made of soft leatherette. The fold-away calf support is also super comfortable for children.

It was quite impressive how quickly it folded and collapsed, even with the seat unit attached. And it fits easily into your hallway and boot, making it perfect to travel with. The iCandy Core includes a variety of accessories, including a matching changing rucksack or liner/footmuff.
