BootiQ Ruby Trek 3 Wheel Stroller

The Ruby Trek 3 will hold from newborn to 17kg and to 32kgs with toddler seat.

  • Open Dimensions: 104cmL x 68cmW x 110cmH
  • Folded Dimensions: 85cmL x 68cmW x 50cmH
  • Weight: 11kg











So my partner really likes this pram (which is why it stays in his car). This black sleek look stroller appears to have an extra wide wheel base in comparison to other joggers. It's one of those prams that always gets caught on the edge of something as you manoeuvre around the shops. In saying that it is easy to steer with its 360 degree front wheel. The other good things about this pram is that it is ideal for jogging (once your baby is 6 months), comes with deluxe padded seat with removable seat liner and my favourite feature of this pram is the removable bumper bar. A few other things to mention about this pram is that it has a large underneath basket (that holds the pump), a handy pocket at the back of the pram for your keys or mobile and the adjustable handle.

The reason why my partner prefers this pram over any others is that he doesn't kick the wheels, cause he is quite tall, a 4-wheeler prams wheels get in the way. As with most prams the Ruby Trek has multi position back rest and as a bonus you can purchase a toddler seat separately.

The flaws to me in this pram is one that it doesn't fold down a whole lot. Yes you can take these pneumatic tyres off but only the side ones. When putting down you need to make sure the wheel is in swivel (not fixed) so that it can fold properly, hence why it won't fit in my boot so unless you have a big car you can't use it. And the other thing that I don't like is that the shade is not sufficient (it is quite short). Also the length of the pram is quite long – but that is what we adjust to if we want to spend our money wisely as the length is to be compatible to the toddler seat - it is just a matter of getting used to it if you take it out and about in the shops.

In conclusion, this pram is most suitable for jogging, a big car and a parent on the go. It can be used on a daily basis if you are willing to put in a little extra effort or simply use in the husbands car. As with all my reviews this pram complies with new Australian standards AS/NZS 2088.

Please feel free to let me know what  you thought of this pram.  More photos in the More Detailed Photos Tab.
