Best 3 wheel Umbrella Stroller Wheel Pushchairs

All-terrain pushchair that offers lightweight durability and great maneuverability. The compact fold using one hand makes it easy to transport. It also stands on its own when folded. The cushioned 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.

Good suspension and air-filled tyres can handle rough terrain. You can also use it to jog. But, you should wait until your baby is at minimum 6 or 9 months old.

Ickle Bubba Air

This lightweight pushchair from Ickle Bubba is packed with lots of features that parents will love. It is an all-in-one travel system that includes a lie-flat carrycot for infants, a movable forward and rear facing pushchair seat, and a choice of a car seat, so you can have everything you need in one package.

The XL Air is a very impressive buggy. It's easy to see why it's earned the highest praise from customers. It is incredibly lightweight with the chassis and wheels weigh just 6.5kg. It's also very easy to assemble. In fact I was able get the whole thing up and running in less than five minutes, which is pretty amazing considering that it also included the tying of the fabric to the carrycot!

It has a nice wide, comfortable seat that is comfortable for Annie (who is 12 months old) and the recline lever is very easy to operate. The basket has plenty of room and I am impressed that the handle bar features an area to keep your keys and phone secure.

The handlebar is a bit low, which can be an issue for parents who are taller. However, it's encased with a luxurious leather-like material that's soft and comfortable, and it wipes down easily, meaning it's still easy to push with bags and children in your hands!

Hauck Pushchair Runner

The Runner is designed for parents who enjoy exploring and are always on the go. The large pneumatic wheels can be utilized on field and forest paths. The front 3 wheel bassinet stroller is lockable and can be swiveled to increase the flexibility. The stroller also comes with five-point safety harnesses with a front bar that keeps your child safe on all journeys. The parking brake keeps the stroller in place while you take a rest. The comfy seat is easy to lower to a lying position and the canopy can be opened to allow netting for optimum air circulation on hot days. The handle can be adjusted by more than 30cm to fit mum or dad.

The Runner will accompany you on your next adventure whether it's a short walk, a longer hike or a long distance trek. It comes with a lay-flat seat with suspension air wheels to ensure an easy ride. The front 3 wheel travel system can be locked to provide more stability when walking on narrow streets or busy sidewalks. The stroller can also be folded in order to fit into car boot spaces and storage areas.

Some parents have found the Runner 2 to be a little more difficult to navigate than its predecessor, and the locking mechanism is less user-friendly (requiring two buttons on either side of the push bar). The handlebar is a little higher than some competitors which means it might not work for smaller parents, but overall this is an extremely sturdy and flexible stroller that's worth a look for families with active children.

Red Kite Push Me walking

Red Kite's Pace is a fantastic product from the cost-effective British brand. They are known for their simple, well-designed products that are essential to parents. It's the latest - and priciest - addition to their bargain lightweight stroller range and, like the Ickle Bubba Aurora and Yoyo is car seat compatible so you can use it from birth (the carrycot folds away).

The new Pace has some amazing design elements, like the rose gold tint of the chassis, hood and stroller trims to make it stand out from its competition. The car seat and stroller fabrics are fashionable in grey, tan, and cream. You can also add handles made of leather and a bumper bar to match.

It is suitable from birth up to a maximum weight of 22kg. The stroller seat converts easily from a carrycot to a 2-in-1 reversible mode, facing the parent or the world. The stroller seat has various lie-back positions, comfortable padded leg rests, and an extendable sun canopy that has hidden zip sections and a transparent flap, and retractable visor.

When folded, the Pace measures 56 33cm x 43cm x 32cm which makes it suitable for hand luggage on Easyjet and Ryanair. It's also simple to fold, thanks to two buttons on the handlebar's opposite side which just click in and then pop out.

Bugaboo Fox 5

Bugaboo's Fox 5 is designed to be the ultimate all-terrain stroller. Its unique chassis, coupled with a shorter cheap 3 wheel buggy-distance makes it more agile than its predecessor. I tested it with my two children eight weeks old and a toddler - on rocky pavements, grassy wooded walks and even cobblestones.

The puncture-proof wheels are huge in size - 22cm and a whopping 30cm - therefore they are able to handle many different terrains. The wheels come with flaps that can be closed or opened to let more air in when required. It's a bit bigger than most pushchairs, yet does not feel heavy or bulky when you are pushing it over bumpy surfaces.

The fabric of the seat is machine washable, and the faux leather frame and grips are easy to clean. It's also quieter than some pushchairs, and I felt confident using it on busy city streets. It has integrated accessory points so you can attach parasols and footmuffs along with changing bags as well as snack trays and even snack trays. The hood can be used to block out rain and wind, but it's not waterproof. It's a single pram but you can add their Comfort 3 wheeled buggy Board (not included) to give your child some extra legroom. It took about 20 minutes to assemble the bassinet, and the same amount of time to convert it into the seat.

UPPAbaby Ridge

Whether you enjoy a morning jog in the crisp air or a moonlit stroll under the stars, the UPPAbaby Ridge makes every moment a fun-filled adventure. This jogging stroller is all-terrain and is designed for maximum performance to keep you and your child active.

The huge 12" and 16" foam-filled tires give you a smooth ride, regardless of the terrain. The suspension is patented, allowing you to glide across paths in the woods with less impact on your child's legs as well as rear. The performance disc handbrake lets you stop quickly even while jogging down the downhill slope.

The Ridge is at home in all city scenes from bustling farmers' markets to the street musicians playing music. Its large basket is big enough to hold your shopping cart and all of your baby's essentials, while the roomy canopy offers sun and wind protection. The oversized front canopy also unzips to reveal two peekaboo windows that make it easy to monitor your little one's surroundings.

The Ridge's reversible seating lets you choose whether your child is facing you or the world in front. The simple foot brake system makes it a breeze for parents who are just starting out. The reversible handlebar is a great feature that allows you to adjust it according to your height. The Ridge's fold, unlike many strollers, is stable and self-standing when folded.

iCandy Core

iCandy's new pushchair is truly groundbreaking and comes with a host of features that are going to wow parents. It has a Multi-Mode wheelbase and an LED Visibility Hub light, which is a first in the industry. It comes with a built-in Ride-on board which helps save on future costs, and lets tired toddlers join the family during outings.

The Core can be bought as a single or as a complete travel system and it is compatible with the most popular car seats from brands like Cybex, Maxi Cosi and Joie. It also comes with the largest seat unit in the iCandy range, which means it will last you through your baby's early years and beyond. It's a gorgeously constructed pushchair, and it features premium knitted fabrics. The child's bumper bar as well as the handlebar that parents can adjust are made of soft leatherette. The calf support folds away are also very comfortable for children.

It was impressive how easily it collapsed and folded, even with the seat unit still attached. It is easily tucked away in your car or hallway and is ideal to travel with. The iCandy Core includes a variety of accessories, like an iCandy Core-branded changing rucksack and liner/footmuff.
