Best 3 Wheel Pushchairs
All-terrain pushchair that offers lightweight durability and excellent maneuverability. Its compact one-hand fold makes it's easy to move and is freestanding when folded. The padded seat reclines to a nearly flat position, and there's a huge canopy and storage bin. The suitability for newborns is 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 is six or nine months old before doing this.
Ickle Bubba XL Air
This lightweight pushchair from Ickle Bubba is packed with lots of features that parents will love. The travel system includes an adjustable carrycot that can be folded flat for newborns and a multi-position forward and rear facing seat for the pushchair.
The XL Air is a very impressive buggy. It's easy to see why it has received praise from customers. It's incredibly light - both the chassis and wheels weigh only 6.5kg - and it's also easy to construct. I was able get it up and running in under five minutes - which is amazing considering that it included the fabric for the carrycot to be attached.
It has a lovely wide seat that was comfortable for Annie (who is 12 months) and the recline lever is simple to use. There's a good amount of room in the basket, and I love the fact that it has a zip-up compartment in the handle bar so you can keep your phone and keys safe!
The handlebar is low, which can be an issue for parents who are taller. It's covered in a soft, comfy leather-like material that is easy to wipe down.
3 wheeled pushchair is designed for athletic parents who can't wait to go out and explore. The large pneumatic wheels are designed to be used on field and forest paths and the front wheel can be swivelled and locked to give you more flexibility. It also has a padded 5-point safety harness and front bar to ensure your child is safe on all trips, while 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 opens up netting for optimum air circulation during hot days. The handle can be 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 quick run, a more strenuous hike or a long distance trek. It features a completely flat lay-flat seat and suspension air wheels for a smooth ride. The front wheel can be locked for more stability on narrow streets or crowded sidewalks. The stroller is also able to fold in order to fit into car boot spaces or storage spaces.
Some parents have found the Runner 2 to be a bit harder to navigate than its predecessor, and the locking mechanism is less user-friendly (requiring two buttons on the opposite side of the push bar). The handlebars are higher than those of some competitors, and therefore may not be suitable for smaller parents. However the stroller is strong and a lot of fun and is a good option for families with active children.
Red Kite Push Me walking
Red Kite's Pace is a top product from the budget-friendly British brand. They are well-known for their well-designed, no-fuss products that are essential for parents. It's the latest - and priciest - addition to their bargain lightweight stroller collection. It's also as with the Ickle Bubba Aurora and Yoyo is car seat compatible so that you can use it right from birth (the carrycot folds away).
The new Pace boasts some fantastic design touches such as the rose gold tint of the chassis, hood and stroller trims that really set it apart from its competition. The grey, tan and cream fabrics on the stroller and the car seat are super fashionable and there's the option of adding a co-ordinating leather handle for the cover and bumper bar, too.
It's suitable for babies up to a maximum weight of 22kg and the stroller seat can easily be converted from the carrycot into an reversible 2-in-1 mode that can be parent-facing or world-facing. The stroller seat comes with multiple lying positions, a comfortable padded leg rests and comes with an extendable sun canopy featuring concealed zip sections, a viewing through flaps and an retractable sun visor.
Furthermore, when folded in half, the Pace measures up at 56 33 x 43 x 32cm, which means it passes for hand luggage with Easyjet and Ryanair among other carriers. It's also a breeze to collapse, with two buttons on either side of the handlebar that just need to be pressed in and out. Then, it will pop up.
Bugaboo Fox 5
Created to be the ultimate all-terrain pushchair Bugaboo's newest Fox 5 promises to do everything. Its unique chassis, with a shorter wheel-distance, makes it much more agile than its predecessor. I tested it alongside my two kids - one a toddler and another eight week old - over the rocky roads along woodland paths, grassy trails and even cobblestones.
The large puncture-proof wheels, which measure 22cm or 30cm in size are able to handle a variety of terrains. They also come with a handy flap that can open or closes to allow more air in when you require it, which is a nice addition. It's a little larger than some pushchairs but it doesn't feel bulky or heavy when you push it over bumpy surfaces.
The fabric of the seat is machine washable, and the frame and faux leather grips are simple to wipe down. It's also much quieter than other pushchairs, and I felt comfortable using it on busy city streets. Another benefit is that it has integrated accessory points, which means you can put in footmuffs, parasols, changing bags and even a snack tray. You can also use the hood to block out wind and rain, although it's not particularly waterproof. It's a single pram, but you can attach their Comfort Wheeled Board (not included) to give your child more leg room. The bassinet took about 20 minutes to set up and the same amount of time to transform it into an actual seat.
UPPAbaby Ridge
No matter if you're enjoying a morning jog under the stars or a moonlit walk in the cool air, the UPPAbaby Ridge turns every moment into a fun experience for all. This jogging stroller is all-terrain and has been optimized for performance to keep you and your child active.
The massive 12" and 16" foam-filled tires give you an effortless ride, no matter the terrain. The suspension system that is patent-pending allows you to glide effortlessly on trails in the woods, while minimizing impact on the legs and back of your child. The handbrake that is designed for performance allows you to stop quickly even while running on the downhill slope.
The Ridge is at its best in every city scene including bustling market stalls for farmers to street musicians playing music. The spacious basket can hold everything you need and market purchases, while the large canopy provides sun and wind protection. The front canopy can be opened to reveal two mesh peekaboos that permit you to monitor your baby.
The Ridge's reversible seating lets you choose whether your child faces you, or the world in front. 3 wheeler pushchair makes it a breeze for parents who are new. The reversible handlebar is a fantastic feature that lets you adjust it according to your height. The Ridge's fold, unlike many jogging strollers is reliable and self-standing when folded.

The handlebar that parents can adjust and the child's detachable bumper bar are made from soft leatherette, while the fold-away calf support is also very comfortable for children.
I was awed by the ease of fold and collapse it only requires one hand, even with the seat unit attached. It's also easily tucked away in your boot and hallway which makes it ideal to travel with. The iCandy Core includes a variety of accessories, including a matching changing rucksack or liner/footmuff.
