15 Best 3 Wheel Pushchair Benefits Everyone Should Know
Best 3 Wheel Pushchairs
All-terrain pushchair that offers light weight and excellent maneuverability. The compact fold that can be folded with just one hand makes it simple to move. It also stands on its own when folded. The padded seat reclines to a nearly flat position, and there's a large canopy and storage bin. Newborn suitability? Yes, with an additional carrycot.
A good suspension and air-filled tires will allow you navigate through rough terrain. It's also suitable for jogging but you should wait until your baby is six or nine months old for this.
Ickle Bubba Air
This pushchair from Ickle Bubba is a brilliant option for parents looking for lightweight strollers with added features. It comes as a travel system, which includes a lie-flat carrycot designed for newborns, a multi-position forward and rear-facing pushchair seat, and a choice of a car seat, meaning you can get everything in one package.
The XL Air is a really impressive 3 wheeler buggy, and it's easy to see why it has been awarded so many praises from its customers. It's extremely light - the chassis and wheels weigh only 6.5kg - and it's also super-easy to build. In fact I was able to get the whole thing up and running in less than five minutes, which is impressive considering it included the tying of the fabric to the carrycot!
The seat is wide and comfortable for Annie who is just 12 months old. The recline lever was easy to use. The basket has plenty of room and I find it nice that the handle bar comes with pockets to keep your keys and phone secure.
The only issue is that the handlebar is low, which can be an issue for taller parents. It's covered with a soft, comfy leather-like material, and is easy to wipe down.
Hauck Pushchair Runner
The Runner is a great choice for parents who like to explore and are always on the go. The large pneumatic wheels are able to be utilized on field and forest trails. The front 3 wheel stroller travel system is lockable and can be swiveled to allow for greater flexibility. The stroller comes with 5-point safety harness with a front bar to keep your child safe during every trip. The parking brake keeps the stroller in place as you take a break. The seat can be adjusted to lay down 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 fit the needs of dad or mum.
The Runner will accompany you on your next adventure whether it's a short run, a more strenuous hike or a long-distance trek. It comes with a lay-flat seat with suspension air wheels to ensure an easy ride. The front wheel can be locked for more stability on narrow streets and crowded sidewalks, and the stroller folds up easily to fit into car boots and storage spaces.
Some parents have found the Runner 2 to be a bit more difficult to maneuver than its predecessor, and the locking system isn't as user-friendly (requiring two buttons on each side of the push bar). The handlebar is a little higher than some competitors which means it might not suit shorter parents however, overall it's a sturdy and versatile stroller worth a look for families with active children.

It's their latest and most expensive addition to the bargain lightweight stroller line.

The stroller seat has several lie-back positions, plus soft padded legs rests, and an extendable sun canopy that has concealed zip sections, a viewing see-through flap, and a retractable visor.
When folded it's Pace measures 56 32 x 43 cm which means it passes for hand luggage with Easyjet and Ryanair among others. It's also easy to fold down, using two buttons on either side of the handlebar that you can click into and then pop out.
Bugaboo Fox 5
Designed to be the ultimate all-terrain pushchair Bugaboo's newest Fox 5 promises to do everything. Its unique chassis features shorter 3 wheel strollers length that makes it more maneuverable than its predecessor. I tried it out with my two children - an infant and an eight-week-old - on the rocky roads, grassy woodland walks and even cobblestones.
The large puncture-proof wheels, which measure either 22cm or a bit larger they can be used on different terrains. The wheels come with flaps that can be closed or opened to let air in when needed. It's slightly larger than some pushchairs but it doesn't feel bulky or heavy when you are pushing it across bumpy surfaces.
The fabric of the seat can be machine washed, and the faux leather grips and frame are easy to clean. It's also quieter than other pushchairs, and I was comfortable with it on busy urban streets. It has built-in accessory points that allow you to attach parasols and footmuffs along with changing bags or snack trays, and even snack tray. You can also use the hood to block rain and wind, though it's not waterproof. The single pram can be outfitted with the Comfort Wheeled Board (not included) which allows your child more legroom. The bassinet took around 20 minutes to set up and it took a similar time to convert it into a seat.
