BabyStyle
Egg3 Stroller
6/10 overall£879.00
A distinctive egg-shaped, single-piece-shell pushchair from BabyStyle, aimed at parents who want standout design alongside a genuine all-terrain chassis.
The verdict
The egg3 is BabyStyle's distinctive one-piece moulded-shell pushchair with all-round suspension and puncture-free tyres, priced closer to premium rivals like the iCandy Peach 7. It's best for parents wanting standout looks and an easy-wipe shell who don't mind the own-brand car seat setup and extra cost of adding a carrycot and car seat to use it from birth.
The egg3 is the newest version of BabyStyle's signature one-piece moulded seat shell, a design that has stayed largely unchanged in silhouette since the original egg because it works: a smooth, wipeable shell with no visible stitching, all-round suspension, and puncture-free Tru-Ride tyres that handle kerbs and gravel with less fuss than a standard three-wheel setup. It ships as a pushchair-only unit; a carrycot and the matching egg3 Shell i-Size infant car seat are sold separately, which is worth budgeting for up front rather than treating as an afterthought.
Against the other pushchairs in this category, the egg3 sits closer to the iCandy Peach 7 and Silver Cross Reef 2 on price and build quality than to the budget-focused Joie Litetrax 3, but its car seat compatibility is narrower out of the box. Where the Peach 7 and Fox 5 both work with a wide range of third-party adaptors as standard, the egg3's own-brand Shell car seat is the path of least resistance, and while multi-brand adaptors for Maxi-Cosi, Cybex and Peg Perego seats are available, they are an extra purchase most buyers don't realise they need until checkout.
This suits parents who want a pushchair that looks and feels distinct from the sea of near-identical three- and four-wheelers, and who don't mind paying a premium for that. The one-hand fold and free-standing chassis are genuinely convenient day to day, and the shell's smooth surfaces wipe clean far more easily than fabric seat units.
The honest downsides: at a chassis weight of 9.7kg and around 13.5kg with the seat attached, it's heavier than the Litetrax 3 and comparable to the Fox 5, so it's not the easiest to lift in and out of a car boot. The price also climbs quickly once you add the carrycot and car seat needed to use it from birth, putting a full travel system bundle well above the Reef 2's starting price for a broadly similar level of everyday usability.

How we scored it
Manoeuvrability
How easily it steers and folds one-handed in tight spaces.
All-round suspension and puncture-free tyres give a smooth ride, but at ~13.5kg it is less nimble than the Litetrax 3.
Car Seat Compatibility
Range of infant car seats it clicks onto without a separate adaptor.
Best matched to its own egg3 Shell car seat; using Maxi-Cosi, Cybex or Peg Perego seats needs separately bought adaptors, narrower than the Peach 7 or Fox 5 ecosystem.

Frequently asked questions
Is the egg3 easy to clean?+
Yes — its one-piece moulded shell has no visible stitching and wipes clean far more easily than a fabric seat unit, which is one of its standout features versus other pushchairs in this category.
Does the egg3 work with any car seat?+
It's best matched to its own egg3 Shell i-Size infant car seat. Maxi-Cosi, Cybex and Peg Perego seats can be used via optional adaptors, but these are an extra purchase most buyers don't realise they need until checkout.
Is the egg3 heavy to lift in and out of a car?+
It's on the heavier side — around 13.5kg with the seat attached, comparable to the Bugaboo Fox 5 and heavier than lighter, budget-focused strollers like the Joie Litetrax 3.
Does the egg3 come as a full travel system?+
No — it ships as a pushchair-only unit, with the carrycot and matching egg3 Shell car seat sold separately, so budget for those upfront rather than as an afterthought if you want to use it from birth.
