Best 3 Wheel Pushchairs

All-terrain pushchair that provides lightweight durability and great maneuverability. The compact fold with one hand makes it easy to carry. It can also stand on its own when folded. The cushioned seat reclines into a nearly flat position, and there’s a huge canopy and storage bin. Baby-friendly? Yes with an additional carrycot.

Good suspension and air-filled tyres can handle rough terrain. It’s also suitable for jogging, but you must wait until your baby is at least six or nine months old to do this.

Ickle Bubba Air

This lightweight pushchair from Ickle Bubba comes with a variety of features that parents will appreciate. The travel system comes with a lie flat carrycot for newborns and a multi-position forward and rear facing pushchair seat.

The XL Air is a very impressive buggy. It’s easy to understand why it’s received praise from customers. It’s extremely light-weight – the wheels and chassis weigh only 6.5kg. It is also very easy to assemble. I was able to get it up and running in just five minutes. That’s remarkable considering it also includes the ability to attach fabric to the carrycot.

The seat is large and comfortable for Annie who is just 12 months old. The recline lever was simple to operate. The basket has plenty of space and I like that the handle bar comes with an area to 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 clean.

Hauck Pushchair Runner

The Runner is made for sporty parents who want to get outside and explore. Its large pneumatic wheels are designed to be used on field and forest trails and the front wheel can be swivelled and locked to give you more flexibility. The stroller also comes with five-point safety harnesses with a front bar to keep your child safe on every trip. The parking brake keeps the stroller stationary while you rest. The seat can be repositioned to lay down and the canopy can be opened maximum 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 all your adventures whether it’s a leisurely jog, a longer hike, or a long-distance walk. It comes with a lay-flat seat with suspension air wheels for an easy ride. The front wheel can be locked for greater stability on narrow streets or overcrowded sidewalks. The stroller can also fold up to fit in car boot spaces and storage areas.

3 wheeler pushchair is a bit more difficult to navigate for some parents than its predecessor. Also, the locking system (requiring two buttons on either on either side of the handlebar) isn’t as user-friendly. The handlebars are a bit higher than some competitors, so they might not be suitable for taller parents. However the stroller is strong and adaptable, and is worth considering by active families.

Red Kite Push Me Pace

The Pace is a different great product from Red Kite, an affordable British brand which is known for its well-designed and no-fuss essentials for parents. It’s their latest and the most expensive addition to their bargain lightweight stroller line. Like the Ickle Bubba Aurora or Yoyo, it is car seat-compatible, so you can use it from the time of birth.

The new Pace features some stunning design features, like a rose-gold tint on the hood, chassis and stroller trims that truly set it apart. The car seat and stroller fabrics are fashionable in tan, grey and cream. You can also choose to add the handle in leather and the bumper bar to match.

It’s suitable from birth to a maximum weight of 22kg and the stroller seat converts easily from the carrycot into an reversible 2-in-1 mode that can be parent or world-facing. The stroller seat offers multiple lie back positions, comfortable padded leg rests and an extendable sun canopy featuring hidden zip sections, a see through flap and an retractable sun visor.

When folded, the Pace measures 56 inches x 43cm and 32 inches, which allows it to be used as hand luggage on Easyjet and Ryanair. Two buttons on each side are easy to utilize and press to lock it in the right position.

Bugaboo Fox 5,

Created to be the ultimate all-terrain pushchair, Bugaboo’s new Fox 5 promises to do it all. Its unique chassis, which has a shorter wheel-distance, makes it more agile than its predecessor. I put it to the test alongside my two kids – an infant and an eight-week old – across rough terrain, grassy woodland walks and even cobblestones.

The large puncture-proof wheels, which measure 22cm or 30cm in size – can handle a variety of terrains. They also have a handy flap that opens or closes to allow more air to circulate when you require it and is a nice addition. It’s a little larger than other pushchairs, but does not feel heavy or bulky when you push it across bumpy surfaces.

The fabric of the seat is machine washable, as are the frame and faux leather grips are simple to clean. It’s also much quieter than many pushchairs and I felt confident using it on busy city streets. It comes with accessory points so you can attach footmuffs and parasols and also changing bags, snack trays, and even snack tray. The hood can be used to block out the elements of wind and rain, but it’s not waterproof. It’s a single stroller, but you can add their Comfort Wheeled Board (not included) to give your child some extra leg room. It took around 20 minutes to assemble the bassinet, and a similar amount of time to convert it to the seat.

UPPAbaby Ridge

No matter if you prefer a morning jog in the crisp air or a nighttime stroll under the stars, the UPPAbaby Ridge makes every moment a fun-filled adventure. This jogging stroller is all-terrain and has been designed to perform to keep you and your child active.

The huge 12″ and 16″ foam-filled tires provide an easy ride, regardless of the terrain. The suspension is patented, allowing you to glide across trails with little 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 home in all city scenes, from bustling farmers’ markets to street musicians performing music. The large basket can accommodate everything you need and market purchases, while the huge canopy offers sun and wind protection. The front canopy can be unzipped to reveal two mesh peekaboos that permit you to watch your baby.

The Ridge’s reversible seats allows you to choose if your child faces you, or the world in front. Its simple foot brake system makes it a breeze for parents who are new. One of the best features is the reversible handlebar that allows you to adjust it to your height and preferences. And unlike some jogging strollers, the Ridge’s fold is reliable and stays self-standing while folded.

iCandy Core

The new pushchair from iCandy is truly groundbreaking and has a lot of features that are really going to wow parents. It has a Multi-Mode Wheelbase and a pioneering LED Visibility Hub Light that is an innovation for the industry. It has a built-in Ride-on board which helps save on future costs, and allows tired toddlers to accompany the family when they go on excursions.

The Core is available as an entire travel system or as a single seat. It works with the most popular car seats, including those from Cybex Maxi Cosi Joie. It is the largest seat unit of the iCandy line, meaning you can use it for your baby’s first years and beyond. It’s a gorgeously designed pushchair, and it has premium knitted fabrics. The parent’s adjustable handlebar and child’s removable bumper bar are made of soft leatherette. The folding calf support folds away and is very comfortable for children.

I was amazed by how easy it is to fold and collapse – it only takes one hand, even with the seat unit in place. It can easily fit in your hallway or boot which makes it perfect to travel with. The iCandy Core comes with lots of extra accessories, such as a rucksack with a color match and a liner/footmuff.
