3 wheeled pushchair -terrain stroller is light durable, sturdy and provides excellent maneuverability. Its one-hand fold is compact, which means it's lightweight and is freestanding when folded. The cushioned seat reclines into an almost flat position and there is a large canopy and storage bin. Baby suitability: Yes it comes with a carrycot (not suitable for overnight sleeping).
A well-constructed suspension and air-filled tires will allow you to handle rough terrain. You can also use it to jog. However, you should wait until your baby is at minimum 6 or 9 months old.
Ickle Bubba Air
This lightweight pushchair from Ickle Bubba has a lot of features that parents will enjoy. It is an all-in-one travel system that includes a lie-flat carrycot suitable for newborns, a multi-position forward and rear-facing pushchair seat, and a choice of group 0+ car seats, so you can have everything in one package.
The XL Air is a really impressive vehicle and it's simple to see why it's received such high praise from customers. It is extremely light with the chassis and wheels weigh just 6.5kg. It's also very easy to assemble. In fact I was able to complete the entire setup and running in less than five minutes, which is pretty amazing given that it included the tying of the fabric to the carrycot!
The seat is spacious and comfortable for Annie, who is 12 months old. The recline lever was easy to operate. There's a good amount of room in the basket too 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 secure!
The only downside is that the handlebar is quite low, which could be a problem for taller parents. It's covered in a soft, comfy leather-like material, which is easy to wipe down.
Hauck Pushchair Runner
The Runner is designed for active parents who are eager to get outside and explore. The large pneumatic wheels are able to be used on field and forest paths. The front wheel can be locked and can be swiveled to increase the flexibility. The stroller comes with a 5-point safety harness with an adjustable front bar that will keep your child secure on every trip. The parking brake will keep the stroller on its feet as you take a break. The comfortable seat is simple to adjust down to a comfortable lying position, and the canopy opens up to allow for 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 leisurely walk, a longer hike, or a long-distance walk. It comes with a lay-flat seat with suspension air wheels to ensure smooth and comfortable riding. The front wheel can be locked to provide more stability on narrow streets and crowded sidewalks, and the stroller folds easily to fit in car boots and storage spaces.
The Runner 2 is a bit more difficult to maneuver for some parents than its predecessor. Additionally, the locking system (requiring two buttons either side of the handlebar) isn't as user-friendly. The handlebars are a bit higher than some competitors, and therefore may not be suitable for taller parents. However, this stroller is sturdy and adaptable and should be considered by families with active children.
Red Kite Push Me Pace
The Pace is a different great product from Red Kite, an affordable British brand which prides itself on making well-designed and no-fuss parenting essentials. It's the latest and most expensive addition to their bargain lightweight stroller collection. It's also as with the Ickle Bubba Aurora and Yoyo it's car seat-compatible which means you can use it right from birth (the carrycot folds away).
The new Pace has some fantastic design features, like a rose-gold tint on the chassis, hood and stroller trims that truly set it apart. The car seat and stroller fabrics are stylish in grey, tan, and cream. You can also add handles made of leather and a bumper bar to match.
It's suitable for babies up to a max weight of 22kg and the stroller seat converts easily from the carrycot into a 2-in-1 reversible mode, parent-facing or world-facing. The stroller seat features multiple lie-back positions, comfortable padded leg rests, and an extendable sun canopy with zip-off sections that are concealed and a transparent flap, and a retractable visor.
When folded when folded, the Pace measures 56 33cm x 43cm x 32cm which allows it to be used as 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 pop up.
Bugaboo Fox 5,
Bugaboo's Fox 5 is designed to be the ultimate, all-terrain stroller. Its unique chassis comes with a shorter wheel width which makes it easier to maneuver than its predecessor. I put it to the test with my two kids - one a toddler and another eight week old - over rocky pavements, grassy woodland walks and even cobblestones.
The wheels that are puncture-proof are large - 22cm and 30cm - which means they can handle many different terrains. The wheels have an opening that can be shut or opened to let more air in when needed. It's a bit bigger than some pushchairs, but it isn't heavy or bulky when you push it over bumpy surfaces.
The fabric for 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 felt comfortable with it on busy city streets. A bonus feature is that it incorporates accessory points, meaning you can put in footmuffs, parasols, changing bags and even a tray for snacks. The hood can be used to block rain and wind, however it's not 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. It took around 20 minutes to set up the bassinet, and the same amount of time to transform it into the seat.
UPPAbaby Ridge
Whether you enjoy an early morning run in the cool air or a stroll under the stars, the UPPAbaby Ridge makes every moment a fun-filled adventure. This stroller that is all-terrain designed to keep you and the child engaged.
The large 12" and 16" foam-filled tires offer an easy ride, no matter the terrain. The suspension system that is patent-pending allows you to effortlessly glide across woodland paths while minimizing the impact on your child's legs and rear. The performance disc handbrake allows you to quickly stop even while running on a downhill slope.
The Ridge is at home in all city scenes including bustling farmers' markets to street musicians playing music. The large basket can accommodate all your essentials as well as market purchases, while the large canopy offers sun and wind protection. The canopy's large front unzips to reveal two mesh peekaboo windows that allow you to observe your baby's surroundings.
The Ridge's reversible seats lets you choose whether your child is facing you or the world ahead. The simple foot brake system makes it a breeze for parents who are just starting out. A fantastic feature is the reversible handlebar, that allows you to adjust it to your height and preference. And unlike other strollers that jog, the Ridge's fold is reliable and stays self-standing while folded.

iCandy's new pushchair is truly groundbreaking and comes with a host of features that are going to wow parents. It features a Multi-Mode wheelbase and a groundbreaking LED Hub Light, which is an innovation for the industry. It also features an integrated Ride-on Board which helps save on future costs and makes it easy for a tired toddler to accompany your family on outings.
