3 Wheel All Terrain Pushchair

If you're seeking a stroller to tackle woodland walks or strolls along the high-street, a pushchair that is all-terrain with a great maneuverability will be the perfect fit. These models usually have large wheels and offer impressive suspension for smooth riding over rough terrain and bumps.

The majority are suitable for babies and come with a lie-flat baby seat or a baby carrycot. These vehicles also have tyres that do not flatten, which are typically comprised from foam.

Suspension

A quality all-terrain pushchair should have a good suspension that is designed to be smooth and comfortable on rough terrain. This will make your child feel relaxed and comfortable. The wheels are usually big and puncture-proof, preventing injuries from sharp rocks or sharp sticks.

The larger tyres can allow you navigate more difficult terrain with ease and some pushchairs that are all-terrain even having different tyres you can switch between to suit different conditions. Certain all-terrain strollers feature an swivel wheel that can be locked to provide stability, or left unlocked to allow for greater manoeuvrability.

A few all-terrain strollers include a lockable brake handbrake that is easier to reach using your hands. This is more convenient than an ordinary pedal on the handlebars. This is a fantastic option if you're a fan of steep hills.

If you don't want go quite as extreme as an all-terrain pushchair there are many strollers that have very good - but not ultimate - off road capability with great suspension and big wheels. These are often a bit less expensive than the more expensive full-on all-terrain buggy models but are perfect for excursions to the dog park or short walks around the countryside.

A lot of strollers are suitable for newborns and come with an infant carrycot or a car seat that is designed for infants. Be aware that when pushing over dips and bumps, the seats aren't completely flat - as per EU regulations, they are required to meet the minimum requirements for recline of around 150deg. Certain brands, such as Graco have gotten around this problem with their new "comfitech" suspension in the seat that allows the seat to recline at a slightly more flatter angle for a bit more comfort. This feature is available on the Lila XP all-terrain pushchair which can be used in conjunction with an appropriate Graco infant car seat to create a 3 in one travel system.

Seat

There are a wide range of 3 wheel Infant Stroller-wheeled all-terrain pushchairs that offer an excellent off-road capability. These are ideal for those who reside in the countryside or take a walk on uneven, rough ground. These are more robust and durable than a standard pushchair. They have special features such as large puncture-proof tires to withstand the toughest surfaces. They are often quite wide and can be difficult to maneuver in narrow spaces or in aisles of shops.

The seat of an all-terrain buggy can either be world or parent facing and will grow with your child, from infant to toddler (it's suitable for children as young as 6 months). It's outfitted with foam-filled "never flat' tyres to ensure smooth rides with dual frame suspension, as well as lavish padding inside the seat unit that offers great postural support and comfort. It also comes with a reclining mechanism, a large extendable sun hood that has integrated ventilation as well as a pocket for your smart phone.

Another great option is the brand new Out 'n' About Nipper V5, a pushchair that's all-terrain that's a trailblazer with a great suspension and air-filled tyres making it suitable to jog once your child is old enough. It also has a 360 swivel lockable front wheel to allow for maneuverability, and it folds with one hand, which is simple and quick. It's suitable for babies from birth and can be used with an UPPAbaby carrycot, or infant car seat adaptors (sold separately).

There are many all-terrain strollers, but they don't have an reversible seat. However, the Oyster 3 wheel reversible stroller, Venicci Tanum and egg 2, which come with this option, have a good weight limit as well as a robust off-road ability. Many pushchairs are classified as all-rounders. This includes the iCandy Pear, Bugaboo Cameleon and a few others. They are able to navigate rough terrain in parks and National Trust locations, but do not have the off-road capabilities of real all-terrain strollers.

There are also crossover models that offer an excellent compromise between off-road and high-street. They come with big wheels, great suspension, and are designed in a pushchair design, and include reversible seating and carrycot options. Brands like iCandy, Easywalker and Bugaboo have produced some excellent models to take a look at.

Wheels

All-terrain pushchairs are essential when you live in a rural area or take your child for regular walks through rough terrain. These models have bigger wheels on the back than normal pushchairs, allowing them to withstand bumpy terrain better and provide an easier ride for your child. Many models also have sturdy suspension and puncture-proof. They can be used on woodland paths, forest paths, gravel roads, and market town cobbles.

Certain all-terrain pushchairs come with front wheels that lock, which provides more stability when walking on rough terrain and over high kerbs. Some models have swivel wheels at the front, which allow you to move the buggy with ease if you want to change direction or turn corners.

Most all-terrain pushchairs have air-filled tyres which offer excellent shock absorption and are ideal for rough terrain but they are more susceptible to punctures than the solid EVA tyres found on city strollers, which is why you should invest in repair kits with spare tubes and a pump alongside your pushchair. Certain all-terrain models come with foam tyres which are less susceptible to punctures but they're not as effective at absorbing shock and may feel harder to push than tyres filled with air.

The brand new Bugaboo Fox 5 pushchair is an excellent model of a stroller that has both foam and air filled tyres. It also comes with a fantastic suspension and large rear wheels that are puncture proof and suitable for off-road use or jogging (once your child reaches the appropriate age). It can also be used as a baby with a carrycot or a lie-flat chair.

The iCandy Peach All-Terrain is another alternative. It comes with large tyres, a single steering-wheel at the front, and huge tyres. It's not as versatile as some of the other all-terrain pushchairs on this list, but it can cope well with hilly terrain and has a spacious one-handed fold that is perfect if you're planning to use the pushchair for long walks or excursions into the countryside. It's also suitable for babies and has a large sun canopy that extends and a host of great features for parents, including an easy-to-use brake pedal with an adjustable handlebar as well as a generously spacious basket.

Stores

There are some excellent all-terrain pushchairs that are ideal for parents who are looking to take their children off-road but don't want to take on Ben Nevis. They offer the best 3 wheel stroller travel system of both. Find a model that has good all-terrain capabilities, sturdy suspension and large puncture-proof wheels, yet is built in a traditional pushchair style with reversible seating and carrycot options.

The UPPAbaby's bestselling Ridge all-terrain pushchair is a perfect illustration of this. It offers excellent suspension, an easy one-handed fold, and a large 10kg basket. It also has parent-friendly features including an adjustable handlebar, a hand-operated brake on the right side and a large, covered storage space. A hood that can be removed and cleaned with cool soapy water is a handy feature that will help keep mildew and mould from growing.

If you're planning on using your all-terrain pushchair off-road, it's worth opting for air-filled tyres rather than those with rubber grips. They'll provide a smoother ride over rough terrain and make it easier to maneuver in tight spaces. If you intend to use your all terrain pushchair for occasional jogging make sure that the front wheel can be rotated or has a quick-release feature to lock it into place for more stability.

To ensure that the fabric is in good condition, it's important to make sure they can be washed by a machine. If not, spot cleaning with warm water and a small amount of gentle soap should suffice. The fabric can be dried thoroughly outside to avoid mould or mildew.

The majority of our 3 wheel stroller with seat wheel all terrain pushchairs are suitable from the moment of birth. Look for models with a fully lie-flat seat and reversible backrest that will allow you to use it from newborn all the way to when your child is about three years old. If you want to travel as a family of three, a lot are compatible with car seats due to the built-in adaptors. You can leave your car at home and instead use all-terrain strollers that have a fixed wheel for jogging, light or casual strolling. One such example is the Delta Special Needs All-Terrain Jogger from Delichon available in a variety of frame and canvas sizes that suit both children and adults.
