The padded seat reclines into an almost flat position and there's a large canopy and storage bin. Baby suitability: Yes it comes with a carrycot (not suitable for overnight sleeping).
Air-filled tyres and a good suspension will handle rough terrain well. You can also use it for jogging. But, you should wait until the baby is at minimum 6 or 9 months old.
Ickle Bubba XL Air
This lightweight pushchair by Ickle Bubba comes with a variety of features that parents will enjoy. It comes as an all-in-one travel system that includes a lie-flat carrycot suitable 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 place.
The XL Air is a really impressive car, and it's easy to see why it's received such high praise from its customers. It is incredibly lightweight with the chassis and wheels weigh only 6.5kg. It is also very easy to assemble. In fact I was able put it up and running in less than five minutes, which is impressive considering it included a strapping of the fabric for the carrycot!
three wheel pushchair has a nice wide seat that is comfortable for Annie (who is 12 months) and the recline lever is easy to operate. There's a good amount of space in the basket too and I like the fact that it comes with a zip-up compartment in the handle bar so you can keep your phone and keys secure!
The only downside is the handlebar is low, which could be an issue for taller parents. It's covered in a soft, comfy leather-like material, which is easy to clean.

The Runner is made for sporty parents who can't wait to go out and explore. The large pneumatic wheels can be utilized on field and forest paths. 3 wheel pushchair can be locked and can be swiveled for added versatility. The stroller comes with a 5-point safety harness with a front bar to keep your child safe on all trips. The parking brake will keep the stroller on its feet while you rest. The comfortable seat is simple to adjust down to a lying position, and the canopy opens to reveal to allow for maximum air circulation on hot days. The handle can be adjusted by more than 30 centimeters to accommodate dad or mum's heights.

The front wheel can be locked for more stability on narrow streets or crowded sidewalks. The stroller can also be folded up to fit into car boot spaces or storage spaces.
The Runner 2 is a bit more difficult to maneuver for some parents than its predecessor. Also, the locking system (requiring two buttons either on either side of the handlebar) isn't as user-friendly. The handlebar is a little higher than the ones of competitors and therefore it may not work for smaller parents however, overall it's an extremely sturdy and flexible stroller that is worth a look for families with active children.

Red Kite's Pace is a great product from the cost-effective British brand. They are well-known for their well-designed, no-fuss products that are essential to parents. It's the most recent and most expensive product in their bargain-priced lightweight stroller collection. It's also like the Ickle Bubba Aurora and Yoyo, is car seat adaptable which means you can use it from the beginning (the carrycot folds away).
The new Pace has some fantastic design features, like rose-gold hues on the hood, chassis, and stroller trims, which really distinguish it from. The car seat and stroller fabrics are fashionable in tan, grey, and cream. You can also choose to add the handle in leather and the bumper bar to match.

It easily converts to a two-in-one reversible position, either parent-facing or facing the world. 3 wheel buggy has multi lie-back positions, softly padded leg rests and comes with an extendable sun canopy with concealed zip sections, viewing see through flap and an adjustable sun visor.
What's more, when it's folded in half, the Pace measures 56 33 x 43 x 32cm, which means it passes for hand luggage with Easyjet and Ryanair, among other carriers. It's also simple to fold, thanks to two buttons on either side of the handlebar 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 wheel-distance makes it more agile than its predecessor. I tried it out with my two kids eight weeks old and a toddler - on rocky roads as well as grassy wooded paths and even cobblestones.
The large puncture-proof wheels - 22cm or 30cm in size - can handle a variety of terrains. They also have an easy flap that opens or closes to allow more air to circulate if you need it, which is a nice touch. It's slightly larger than some pushchairs but doesn't feel heavy or bulky when you push it across bumpy surfaces.
The seat fabric is machine washable, as are the frame and faux leather grips are easy to clean. It is also quieter than other pushchairs and I felt at ease using it in busy urban streets. It comes with accessory points that allow you to attach footmuffs and parasols as well as changing bags, 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 stroller, but you can attach their Comfort Wheeled Board (not included) to give your child some extra leg room. The bassinet took around 20 minutes to set-up and it took the same amount of time to transform it into a seat.
