3 Wheel All Terrain Pushchair

A pushchair that is all-terrain with excellent maneuverability will suit you whether you're searching for a buggy for nature walks or a stroll on the high street. These models are usually equipped with large wheels and a suspension system that provides a smooth ride on bumpy terrain.

Many are suitable for babies and come with a seat that can be positioned flat or a newborn carrycot. These vehicles also have tyres that never flatten, usually made of foam.

Suspension

A true all terrain pushchair will have good suspension which is designed to be extremely smooth on uneven ground which allows your child to feel comfortable and at ease. The wheels will also be large and will usually be a puncture-proof type to avoid damage from sharp rocks or sticks.

Some all-terrain strollers offer the option to switch between additional tyres for different conditions. Some all-terrain strollers have a swivel wheel that can be locked to offer stability, or left unlocked to permit greater maneuverability.

Certain all-terrain strollers have a lockable brake handbrake that is more accessible with your free hand. This is superior to the traditional pedal that is located on the handlebars. This is a fantastic feature if you are an avid climber.

There are many strollers with decent off-road capability but aren't the most powerful. They also have large wheels and excellent suspension. These are usually cheaper than full-on all-terrain buggy options and will still work well for short walks in the countryside or trips to the park.

A lot of these pushchairs can be used for babies from birth, whether with a carrycot or a newborn-ready car seat. Be aware that the seats do not be able to lie flat when you push over bumps or dips. As per EU regulations, they only have to meet minimum requirements of a reclining angle of around 150deg. Graco has solved this issue with its new 'comfitech in-seat suspension' that lets the seat recline at a flatter angle to provide a little more comfort. This feature is available on the Lila XP All-Terrain Pushchair, that can be used in conjunction with an appropriate Graco Infant Car Seat to create a 3 wheel push chair-in-1 travel system.

Seat

There is a broad selection of 3 wheel travel stroller-wheeled all-terrain pushchairs available that offer an excellent off-road capability. They are ideal if you live on the countryside or walk frequently on uneven, rough terrain. They are often more robust and durable than a standard pushchair, with special features like large wheels that are puncture-proof to deal with the toughest of surfaces. They are often quite large and may be difficult to maneuver in tight spaces or in the aisles of shops.

The seat on an all-terrain buggy can either be facing the world or towards the parent and grows with your child, from newborn to toddler (it's suitable for children as young as 6 months). It has 'never-flat' foam-filled tyres that provide a smooth ride. It also has dual frame suspension with luxurious padding, as well as a seat unit with excellent postural support.

However the Oyster 3 wheel stroller with bassinet, Venicci Tanum and egg 2, which have this option, have a good weight limit as well as a high level of off-road capability. Many pushchairs are classified as all-rounders. These include the iCandy Pear, Bugaboo Cameleon and a few others. They are able to handle rough terrain in parks and National Trust locations, but do not have the off-road capabilities of true all-terrain strollers.

Brands such as iCandy, Easywalker and Bugaboo have created some great ones to look at.

Wheels

If you reside in a rural location or regularly take your baby for walks on rough terrain, an all-terrain pushchair is vital. These models usually have larger back wheels than standard pushchairs, making them better at handling bumpy off-road terrain, and ensuring an easy ride for your child. They also have robust suspension and puncture-proof models to ensure they're safe for use on grass, woodland or forest paths or gravel tracks, as well as market town cobbles.

Some all-terrain pushchairs also feature an adjustable front wheel that gives more stability when walking on rough terrain and on high kerbs. Others have swivel front wheels that let you maneuver the buggy more easily when you are changing direction or turning corners.

All-terrain strollers have air-filled tyres that are excellent for tackling rough terrain. However, they are more prone to punctures than the EVA tyres found on lightweight city strollers. It's worth buying a repair kit as well as an spare inner tube along with your pushchair. Certain all-terrain models come with foam tyres which are less susceptible to punctures but aren't as effective in absorption of shock and can be harder to push than air-filled tyres.

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

Another alternative is the iCandy Peach All-Terrain, which has large tyres and has only a single steering wheel in the front. It's not as versatile like the other all-terrain pushchairs on this list, but it can handle hills and features an expansive one-handed fold, which is great if you're going to be using the pushchair for long walks or trips into the countryside. It's suitable for children and comes with a large, extendable canopy, an adjustable handlebar, and a hugely-sized basket.

It also has features that are suitable for parents, such as an adjustable handlebar, a hand-operated brake on the right and a large, covered storage space. A hood that can be removed and cleaned with cool soapy water is another useful feature that can help prevent mildew and mould from forming.

If you intend to use your all-terrain stroller off the road, opt for air-filled tires rather than rubber grips. These will give a smoother ride on rough ground and are easier to maneuver in tight spaces. If you intend to use your all-terrain pushchair to jog occasionally, make sure that the front wheel can be swivelable or has a quick-release feature to lock it into place for greater stability.

To keep the fabrics in pristine condition, ensure that they are washed by a machine. If not, a spot clean with warm soapy water and warm water should suffice. The fabric can be dried completely outside to avoid mildew or mould.
