3 Wheel All Terrain Pushchair

If you're looking for a buggy to tackle woodland walks or strolls on the main streets, an all terrain pushchair with a great maneuverability will be a great fit. These types of models are typically equipped with large wheels and a suspension system that provides smooth riding on rough terrain.

The majority are suitable for infants and come with a seat that can be set on a flat surface or a baby carrycot. These vehicles also have tyres that never flatten, and are usually comprised from foam.

Suspension

A genuine all-terrain pushchair will have a good suspension, specifically designed to be smooth on rough ground, helping your little one to feel comfortable and relaxed. The wheels should also be large and typically be a puncture-proof type to protect against damage caused by sharp rocks or sticks.

The larger tyres can help you navigate more difficult terrains with ease, with some all-terrain pushchairs even offering additional tyres to switch between for different conditions. Certain all-terrain strollers feature an swivel wheel that can be locked to offer stability, or left unlocked to allow for greater maneuverability.

Certain all-terrain strollers have an adjustable brake handbrake that locks and is easier to reach by hand. This is more convenient than a traditional pedal on the handlebars. This is a great feature to have if you want to climb up difficult terrain, particularly with a child in the seat and lots of shopping bags stashed beneath!

If you don't wish to go as extreme as an all-terrain stroller, there are many strollers on the market which are very well-built, but not perfect - off road capability with great suspension and large wheels. These are usually more affordable than full-on all-terrain buggy models, and can 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 when it comes to pushing over bumps and dips the seats will not lie completely flat. According to EU regulations, they have to meet minimum standards for a recline of around 150 degrees. Some brands, including Graco, have overcome this with their new 'comfitech' in-seat suspension which allows the seat to recline at a slightly more flatter angle for a little more comfort. It is available on the Lila XP all-terrain pushchair which can be used with an appropriate Graco infant car seat to create a 3 wheel running stroller- in 1 travel system.

Seat

There's a whole range of three-3 wheel umbrella stroller all terrain pushchairs to choose from with a fantastic off-road capability. These are perfect if you reside in the countryside or walk frequently on uneven, rough terrain. They are usually more durable and durable than a standard pushchair, and have special features like large wheels that can withstand punctures to withstand the toughest of surfaces. They tend to be quite wide, and may be difficult to maneuver in tight spaces or aisles in shops.

It has a 360-degree lockable front wheel that allows ease of maneuverability and one-handed folding. It's suitable from birth and can be paired with an UPPAbaby carrycot, or infant car seat adaptors (sold separately).

There are a number of all-terrain strollers that do not have the option of a reversible seating. However the Oyster 3 wheeled strollers, Venicci Tanum and egg 2, which offer this option, have a good weight limit and a robust off-road ability. Many pushchairs are classified as all-rounders. They include 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 genuine all-terrain strollers.

Then there are the crossover models which are a fantastic compromise between extreme off-road and street and are able to handle all terrains 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 which means they can be used everyday. Brands such as iCandy, Easywalker and Bugaboo have produced some excellent models to take a look at.

Wheels

If you reside in a rural area or take your child regularly on walks over rough ground an all-terrain pushchair is vital. These models have larger wheels that are mounted on the back than regular pushchairs, which allows them to deal with bumpy terrain better and provide a smoother ride for your child. Many models also have a robust suspension that is puncture-proof. They can be used on woodland paths or forest paths, gravel roads, and market town cobbles.

Certain all-terrain strollers have a lockable wheel on the front that provides stability when walking on rough terrain or over high kerbs. Others have swivel front wheels which allow you to manoeuvre the buggy more easily when you change direction or turn corners.

All-terrain strollers come with air-filled tyres that are great for dealing with rough terrain. However, they are more prone than the solid EVA tyres found on lightweight city strollers. It's therefore worth purchasing an repair kit and spare inner tube with your pushchair. Certain models come with foam tyres that are less prone to puncture but might be more difficult to push.

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

The iCandy Peach All-Terrain is another alternative. It has large tires, a single steering wheel at the front, and huge tyres. It's not as flexible as the other strollers that are all-terrain, but it can manage hilly terrain and features a large one-handed fold that is great for long walks in the countryside, or long trips. It's also suitable from birth and has a huge sun canopy that extends and some great parent-friendly features including an easy-to-use brake pedal with an adjustable handlebar as well as a generously big basket.

Storage

There are excellent all-terrain pushchairs for parents who want to take their child off-road, but do not want to tackle Ben Nevis. They are the best of both. Choose a model that has good all-terrain capability, sturdy suspension, and large puncture-proof wheels but designed in the traditional pushchair style, with reversible seats and full carrycot options.

UPPAbaby's well-known Ridge all-terrain pushchair is a great example of this. It offers excellent suspension, a simple fold and a huge 10kg basket, but it also comes with parent-friendly features including an adjustable handlebar, a hand-operated brake on the right-hand side and a huge covered storage space. A hood that can be removed and cleaned with cool soapy water is a helpful feature that can prevent 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 ones with rubber grips. They'll provide an easier ride on rough terrain and will make it easier to navigate through tight spaces. If you plan to use your all terrain pushchair to jog occasionally, ensure that the front wheel can be rotated or has a quick release feature to lock it into position for better stability.

It is important to verify that the fabric of the pushchair is machine washed to keep them in perfect condition. If not, a spot cleaning with warm soapy water and warm water should be sufficient. Drying the fabric completely outdoors will also help prevent mildew and mould from forming.

The majority of our three wheeled all terrain pushchairs are able to be used as early as. Choose models that have an all-flat seat that is fully lie-flat and a reversible rearrest that will allow you to use it from the time of birth until your child is three years old. Some are compatible with car seat adaptors when you're traveling with a family of three. You can leave your car at home and instead use all-terrain strollers that have fixed wheels for light jogging or casual strolling. One example is the Delta Special Needs All-Terrain Jogger from Delichon, which comes in several sizes of canvas and frame that suit both children and adults.
