Ickle Bubba XL Air
This light pushchair made by Ickle Bubba is packed with lots of features that parents will enjoy. The travel system comes with a lie flat carrycot for newborns and a multi-position forward and rear facing seat for a pushchair.
The XL Air is a really impressive car and it's easy to see why it has received such high praise from its customers. It's extremely light-weight - the wheels and chassis weigh just 6.5kg. It's also very simple to put together. In fact, I was able to put it up and running in just five minutes, which is pretty amazing given that it included a strapping of the fabric for 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 space, and I like that the handle bar comes with pockets to keep your phone and keys safe.
The handlebar is low, which may be an issue for parents who are taller. It's covered with a soft, comfortable leather-like material, and is easy to clean.

The Runner is designed for athletic parents who want to go out and explore. Its large pneumatic wheels are designed to be used on forest and field trails, and the front wheel can be rotated and locked for extra versatility.

The front wheel is lockable for greater stability on narrow streets and overcrowded sidewalks, and the stroller folds up easily to fit in car boot spaces and storage areas.
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) is less user-friendly. The handlebar is a little higher than other strollers', so it might not suit shorter parents however, overall it's a sturdy and versatile stroller worth a look for families with active children.

The Pace is another great offering from Red Kite, an affordable British brand which is known for its well-designed and no-fuss essentials for parenting. It's their latest and the most expensive addition to their bargain lightweight stroller line. Like best 3 wheel stroller or Yoyo it's car seat-compatible, so you can use from birth.
The new Pace has some amazing design elements, like a rose gold tint to the chassis, hood and stroller trims that really set it apart from its competitors.

Bugaboo Fox 5
Created to be 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 mobile than its predecessor. I tried it out with my two kids - a toddler and an eight-week old - across rocky pavements, grassy woodland walks and even cobblestones.
The large puncture-proof wheels, which measure 22cm or 30cm in diameter are able to handle a variety of terrains. They also have a handy flap that opens or closes to let more air to circulate should you need it this is a nice touch. It's a bit bigger than other pushchairs, however it doesn't feel bulky or heavy when you push it over bumpy surfaces.
The seat fabric is machine washable, as are the frame and faux leather grips are easy to clean. It's also quieter than other pushchairs and I was comfortable with it on busy urban streets. A bonus feature is that it has integrated accessory points, meaning you can add footmuffs parasols, changing bags, and even a tray for snacks. You can also use the hood to block out rain and wind, but it's not waterproof. It's a single pram but you can attach their Comfort Wheeled Board (not included) to give your child some extra legroom. The bassinet took about 20 minutes to set-up and it took the same amount of time to transform it into a seat.
