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.

Love, love, love this pram... This is the perfect pram, for day to day use, jogging or brisk walking. Pushing this in the shops is comfortable and easy not just for you but a comfy ride for baby with these easy to manoeuvre, 12” pump up wheels. Also having the option of the front suspension wheel to be either fixed or swivel allows each person to customise there needs. This pram is able to hold up to the weight of 34kg, yes! You read right.... Outstanding I know. My son is 7 and not even that weight. I guess it allows for the option of being able to go for a run and still taking your child with you no matter what age.

This pram has so many features that I don't know where to start. :))

Firstly, the extendable canopy is one of my favourite features in this pram, it has 2 view windows and 2 side mesh windows for ventilation.
Although this pram does not have a reverse handle, having this extra canopy allows you to be at ease when jogging or walking as you will know the sun is not in babies face. To recline the seat is with a simple retractable strap that is easy to release to recline and put baby back to sitting up position. The bonus in having a retractable strap is that baby can lay in multiple positions. A 5-point harness allows for safety of babies of all ages and sizes with comfortable shoulder harness pads. A large underneath basket allows for some storage as well as a pocket at the back of the seat.
The adjustable handle allows people to customise the handle to there height preferred.

Grey safety snap that you need to clip & unclip
Fold strap that you Pull towards you

and the pram folds in half.. Simple!
Now to the folding of the pram. No need to push buttons, pull levers, release safety lock. Nope all you need is one hand, and it folds. Wait! I misinformed, you do need to un-clip the safety snaps to allow for you pram to fold. You see you do need to put some safety locks on when you first open you pram and then to fold it you just undo the clips again and pull. Simple, innovative design makes this a fabulous pram.

In conclusion, the fantastic pram meets all needs. Stylish colours, easy steering and for day to day use as well as an easy fold. You can customise this pram to suit your needs with many accessories available as well as toddler seat for you to grow your family at affordable prices. As with all my reviews this pram complies with new Australian standards AS/NZS 2088.
