5 Best 3 Wheel Pushchair Lessons From The Pros
Best Small 3 Wheel Stroller 3 wheel parent facing pushchair Pushchairs
All-terrain stroller that is lightweight durable, sturdy and provides excellent maneuverability. The compact fold using one hand makes it simple to move. It also stands on its own when folded. The padded seat reclines into a nearly flat position, and there's a huge storage bin and canopy. The suitability for newborns is yes, with an additional carrycot.
A well-constructed suspension and air-filled tires will allow you to handle rough terrain. You can also use it for jogging. However, you must wait until the baby is at least 6 or 9 months old.
Ickle Bubba Air
This lightweight 3 wheel stroller pushchair by Ickle Bubba has a lot of features that parents will appreciate. It comes as an entire travel system that includes a lie-flat carrycot for infants, a multi-position forward and rear facing pushchair seat and a selection of group 0+ car seat, so you can get everything you need in one place.
The XL Air is a very impressive buggy. It's easy to understand why it's earned 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 pretty amazing given that it included attaching the fabric for the carrycot!
The seat is large and comfortable for Annie who is just 12 months old. The recline lever was simple to operate. There's plenty of room in the basket and I like the fact that it comes with a zip-up compartment in the handle bar so that you can keep your keys and phone safe!
The only issue is that the handlebar is quite low, which can be a problem for taller parents. But, it's covered in a lovely leather-like material that is soft and comfortable, and it wipes down easily, so it's still a breeze to push with bags and children in your hands!
Hauck Pushchair Runner
The Runner is designed for athletic parents who can't wait to get outside and explore. Its large pneumatic wheels are designed to be used on forest and field trails, and the front 3 wheel baby buggy can be swivelled and locked for additional versatility. The stroller comes with a 5-point safety harness with a front bar that keeps your child secure on all journeys. The parking brake keeps the stroller on its feet as you take a break. The seat can be adjusted to lay flat and the canopy can be opened to allow for 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 all your adventures whether it's a leisurely walk, a longer hike or a long-distance trek. It comes with a lay-flat seat that has suspension air wheels that provide an easy ride. The front wheel can be locked for more stability on narrow streets or crowded sidewalks. The stroller can also be folded in order to fit into car boot spaces or storage spaces.
The Runner 2 is a bit more difficult to navigate for some parents than its predecessor. Additionally the locking system (requiring two buttons either on either side of the handlebar) isn't as user-friendly. The handlebars are higher than those of some competitors, which means they may not be suitable for smaller parents. However the stroller is strong and a lot of fun and should be considered by active families.
Red Kite Push Me Pace
The Pace is another great offering from Red Kite, an affordable British brand which is known for its simple and well-designed parenting essentials. It's the latest - and priciest - product in their bargain-priced lightweight stroller collection. It's also like the Ickle Bubba Aurora and Yoyo it's car seat-compatible which means you can use it from birth (the carrycot folds away).
The new Pace has some amazing design features, including a rose gold tint to the chassis, hood and stroller trims to truly distinguish it from its rivals. The stroller and car seat fabrics are stylish in tan, grey, and cream. You can also choose to add a leather handle and bumper bar to complement.
The stroller seat can be used from birth until a maximum weight of 22kg. It easily converts to a two-in-one reversible position, either facing the parent or facing the world. The stroller seat offers multiple lie back positions, softly padded leg rests and an extendable sun canopy with concealed zip sections, a viewing transparent flaps, and a retractable sun visor section.
When folded it's Pace measures 56 x 43 x 32cm which means it passes for hand luggage with Easyjet and Ryanair among others. It's also simple to collapse, with two buttons on either side of the handlebar which just click in and pop up.
Bugaboo Fox 5,
Bugaboo's Fox 5 is designed to be the ultimate, all-terrain stroller. Its unique chassis, with a shorter twin 3 wheel stroller-distance makes it more maneuverable than its predecessor. I tested it with my two children - a toddler and an eight-week-old - on the rocky roads along woodland paths, grassy trails and even cobblestones.
The large puncture-proof wheels, which measure 22cm or 30cm in diameter are able to handle various terrains. The wheels have a flap that can be opened or closed to let more air in when needed. It's a bit larger than other pushchairs, however it doesn't feel bulky or heavy when you push it over bumpy surfaces.
The seat fabric is machine washable, as are the frame and faux leather grips are simple to wipe down. It's also quieter than other pushchairs, and I was comfortable with it on busy city streets. A bonus feature is that it has integrated accessory points, meaning you can add footmuffs, parasols, changing bags and even a snack tray. You can also use the hood to block rain and wind, but it's not particularly waterproof. The single pram is able to be fitted with the Comfort Wheeled board (not included) that gives your child more legroom. It took around 20 minutes to set up the bassinet, and a similar amount of time to convert it into the seat.
UPPAbaby Ridge
No matter if you're enjoying a morning jog under the stars or a moonlit walk in the crisp air, the UPPAbaby Ridge transforms every moment into a shared one. This stroller that is all-terrain designed to keep you and your child active.
The massive foam-filled 12" and 16 "tires give you smooth rides regardless of the terrain. The suspension technology is patent-pending, allowing you to glide across woodland paths with minimal impact on your child's legs and rear. The performance disc handbrake allows you to quickly stop, even when jogging on a downhill slope.
The Ridge is at home in all city scenes, from bustling market stalls for farmers to street musicians performing music. The large basket can accommodate all your essentials and market purchases, while the massive canopy offers protection from the sun and wind. The large front canopy unzips to reveal two peekaboo windows that make it easy to keep an eye on your child's surroundings.
The Ridge's reversible seat allows you to choose whether your child faces you or the world ahead, and its simple foot brake system is a breeze for parents with young children. A great feature is the reversible handlebar which allows you to adjust it to your height and preference. And unlike some jogging strollers the Ridge folds solid and self-standing when folded.
iCandy Core
The new iCandy pushchair comes with a variety of features that will be awe-inspiring to parents. It features a Multi-Mode wheelbase and LED Visibility Hub light that is a first in the industry. It also features an integrated Ride-on Board which saves on future costs and makes it easy for an exhausted toddler to join your family on outings.
The Core can be purchased in a single unit or as a complete travel system. it is compatible with all the popular car seats from brands like Cybex, Maxi Cosi and Joie.

As with all iCandy pushchairs it is beautifully designed and features high-end knitted jersey fabrics. The adjustable handlebar for parents and child's removable bumper bar are made from soft leatherette, while the folding calf support folds away and is extremely comfortable for children.
It was amazing how quickly it folded and collapsed, even with the seat unit still attached. It's also easily tucked away in your boot and hallway making it ideal for travel. The iCandy Core includes a variety of accessories, like the matching changing rucksack, or footmuff/liner.
