3 wheel pushchair -terrain pushchair with lightweight durability and great maneuverability. The compact fold with one hand makes it simple to carry. It also stands on its own when folded. The padded seat reclines into an almost flat position and there's a huge storage bin and canopy. Baby suitability: Yes and with a separate carrycot (not suitable for sleep over).

Ickle Bubba Air
This lightweight pushchair from Ickle Bubba has a lot of features that parents will appreciate. This travel system includes an adjustable carrycot that can be folded flat for infants as well as a multi-position forward and rear facing seat for a pushchair.
The XL Air is a really impressive vehicle, and it's easy to see why it has received so many high marks from its customers. It is extremely light - the wheels and chassis weigh only 6.5kg. It's also very easy to assemble. I was able to get it up and running in just five minutes. This is amazing considering that it included the ability to attach fabric to the carrycot.
It has a nice wide seat that was comfortable for Annie (who is 12 months old) and the recline lever is very simple to use. The basket is spacious with plenty of room and I like that the handle bar comes with pockets to keep your keys and phone safe.
The only downside is the handlebar is low, which could be a problem for taller parents. It's covered in soft, supple leather-like material, which is easy to wipe down.
Hauck Pushchair Runner
The Runner is designed for parents who love to explore and are always on the move. Its large pneumatic wheels were designed to be used on forest and field paths and the front wheel can be swivelled and locked for extra versatility. The stroller comes with a 5-point safety harness with a front bar that keeps your child safe on all trips. The parking brake keeps the stroller stationary as you take a break. The seat can be adjusted to lay down and the canopy can be opened to allow 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 any adventure whether it's a short jog, a longer hike or a long-distance trek. It comes with a lay-flat seat with suspension air wheels to ensure smooth and comfortable riding. The front wheel is lockable for greater stability on narrow streets and congested sidewalks, and the stroller folds up easily to fit into car boot spaces and storage areas.
Some parents have reported that the Runner 2 to be a little more difficult to navigate than its predecessor, and the locking system is less user-friendly (requiring two buttons on each side of the push bar). The handlebars are higher than the ones of other competitors, and therefore may not be suitable for shorter parents. However, this stroller is sturdy and a lot of fun and should be considered by families with active children.
Red Kite Push Me Pace
Red Kite's Pace is a great product from the affordable British brand. They are well-known for their simple, well-designed products that are essential for parents. It's the latest and most expensive version of their bargain light 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 features some stunning design elements, like the rose gold tint of the hood, chassis and stroller trims that make it stand out from its rivals. The car seat and stroller fabrics are fashionable in tan, grey, and cream. You can also add handles made of leather and a bumper bar to complement.
The stroller seat is used from birth until 22kg. It easily converts to a two-in-one reversible position, either parent-facing or world-facing. The stroller seat comes with multiple lie-back positions, comfortable padded leg rests, and an extended sun canopy with zip-off sections that are concealed with a view-through flap, and a retractable visor.
What's more, when it's folded, the Pace measures up at 56 33 x 43 x 32cm, which means it can be used as hand luggage with Easyjet and Ryanair among other carriers. It's also simple to collapse, with two buttons on the handlebar's opposite side that you can click into and then pop out.
3 wheeled pushchair behind it is to create the ultimate all-terrain pushchair, Bugaboo's new Fox 5 promises to do everything. Its unique chassis, coupled with a shorter wheel-distance makes it more agile than its predecessor. I tried it out with my two kids one of whom is eight weeks old and the other toddler - on rocky roads as well as grassy wooded paths and even cobblestones.
The wheels that are puncture-proof are large in size - 22cm and a whopping 30cm - so they can cope with lots of different terrains. They also come with a handy flap that opens or closes to allow more air to enter should you need it and is a nice addition. It's slightly larger than most pushchairs, yet doesn't feel heavy or bulky when you push it over bumpy surfaces.
The seat fabric can be machine washed and the faux leather frames and grips are easy to clean. It's also a lot quieter than many pushchairs and I felt confident using it on busy city streets. Another benefit is that it incorporates accessory points, which means you can put in footmuffs, parasols, changing bags, and even a tray for snacks. You can also use the hood to block rain and wind, but it's not particularly waterproof. It's a single pram, however, you can also attach their Comfort Wheeled Board (not included) to give your child a bit of legroom. The bassinet took around 20 minutes to put together and the same amount of time to transform it into an actual seat.
