3 Wheel All Terrain Pushchair

A pushchair that is all-terrain with great maneuverability will be perfect whether you are seeking a stroller for nature walks or a stroll on the main street. These types typically have big wheels and have a powerful suspension for smooth rides over bumps and rough ground.

The majority are suitable for babies and come with a lie-flat seat or newborn carrycot. These vehicles also have tyres that do not flatten, and are usually made of foam.

Suspension

A quality all-terrain pushchair should have an excellent suspension that has been designed to be extra smooth and comfortable on rough terrain. This will make your child to feel comfortable and comfortable. The wheels are typically large and puncture-proof, preventing injury caused by sharp rocks or sharp sticks.

The larger tyres will also enable you to tackle more challenging terrains with ease and some pushchairs that are all-terrain even offering the option of additional tyres to switch between to suit different conditions. Based on the type of terrain you want to explore Some all-terrain pushchairs come with a swivel front wheel which can be locked for stability, or unlocked to allow for more maneuverability when needed.

A few all-terrain strollers include a lockable brake handbrake that is easier to reach using your hands. This is more convenient than a traditional pedal on the handlebars. This is a fantastic feature for those who are an avid climber.

If you don't wish to go as extreme as an all-terrain pushchair there are plenty of strollers that offer excellent - but not ultimate - off-road capability, with excellent suspension and big wheels. These are usually less expensive than full-on all terrain buggy models, and can be suitable for short walks in the countryside or trips to the park.

Many of these strollers are suitable for newborns and come with a carrycot or car seat that is designed for newborns. Be aware that when it comes to pushing over dips and bumps, the seats will not lie completely flat - as per EU regulations, they are required to meet the minimum requirements for recline of around 150 degrees. Certain brands, like Graco, have overcome this problem with their new "comfitech" suspension in the seat that allows the seat to recline at a slightly flatter angle to provide a bit more comfort. This feature is available on the Lila XP All-Terrain Pushchair, that can be used in conjunction with the Graco Infant Car Seat to create a three-in-one travel system.

Seat

There is a broad selection of 3 wheeled travel system-wheeled all-terrain pushchairs that provide a fantastic off-road capability. They are perfect for those who live in the countryside or walk on uneven, rough terrain. These are more robust and durable than a regular pushchair. They are equipped with unique features like large puncture-proof tires that can handle the most challenging surfaces. They can be quite wide and are difficult to maneuver through narrow spaces or in the aisles of shops.

The seat on an all-terrain buggy may be facing the world or towards the parent and will grow with your child, from infant to toddler (it's suitable for children as young as 6 months). It has 'never-flat' foam-filled tires that offer a comfortable ride. It also has dual frame suspension with luxurious padding, as well as a seat with great postural support. It also has a reclining feature, as well as an enormous hood that can be extended, integrated venting and an area for a smartphone.

There are a lot of all-terrain strollers that do not have the option of a reversible seating. However, the Oyster 3 wheel stroller with bassinet, Venicci Tanum and egg 2, which offer this option, come with a very good weight limit and a very robust off-road ability. There are many pushchairs that are classed as all-rounders, such as the iCandy Pear and Bugaboo Cameleon that are able to cope with rough terrain at the park or National Trust places but don't have quite the off-road capability of genuine all-terrain pushchairs.

There are also crossover models, which are a great combination of extreme off-road and high-street and offer excellent all-terrain capabilities with big wheels and excellent suspension but they're designed more like a standard pushchair with reversible seats as well as the option of a full carrycot, so they can be used everyday. Brands like iCandy, Easywalker and Bugaboo have created some great ones to take a look at.

Wheels

If you reside in a rural location or take your child regularly on walks over rough ground an all-terrain pushchair becomes essential. These models have larger wheels that are mounted on the back than normal pushchairs, allowing them to withstand rough terrain better and provide the most comfortable ride for your child. Many also come with a sturdy suspension and puncture-proof versions to ensure they're safe for use on grass, woodland or paths through the forest as well as gravel tracks and town cobbles.

Certain all-terrain strollers also come with a lockable wheel at the front which provides extra stability when walking over rough terrain or on 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.

All-terrain strollers come with air-filled tyres which are ideal for dealing with rough terrain. However they are more prone to punctures than the solid EVA tyres that are found on light city strollers. It's worth buying an repair kit and spare inner tube along with your pushchair. Some all-terrain models feature foam tyres, which are less prone to punctures but aren't as effective at absorption of shock and can feel harder to push than tyres with air filled.

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

Another alternative is the iCandy Peach All-Terrain, which features large tyres as well as one steering wheel at the front. It's not as pliable as some of the other all-terrain pushchairs on this list, but it can cope well with hills and features an ample one-handed fold that is ideal if you plan to use the pushchair for long walks or trips to the countryside. It's also suitable from birth and comes with a large, extendable sun canopy and a host of great features for parents, like a simple brake pedal and a movable handlebar, as well as a large big basket.

Look for a model that has good all-terrain capabilities, sturdy suspension and large puncture-proof wheels, but is designed in a traditional pushchair style with reversible seating as well as full carrycot options.

UPPAbaby's popular Ridge all terrain pushchair is an excellent illustration. It comes with a fantastic suspension and a single-hand fold and a spacious basket that can hold up to 10kg.

If you are planning to take your all-terrain stroller off road and on the road, you should consider air-filled tires rather than rubber grips. They'll provide a more comfortable ride on uneven ground and be easier to manoeuvre 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 facility to lock it in place for greater stability.

To ensure that the fabric is in good condition, it's important to ensure that they are washed by a machine. If not, a 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.

Look for models with a fully lie-flat seat and reversible backrest that will allow you to use it from newborn right up until your child is around three years old.
