3 Wheel All Terrain Pushchair

A pushchair that is all-terrain and offers outstanding maneuverability will work whether you are looking for a buggy for nature walks or an excursion on the high street. These models usually have large wheels and offer impressive suspension for smooth rides over bumps and rough ground.

The majority of them are suitable from birth and include a lie-flat seat or a baby carrycot. They are also typically fitted with foam-filled, never-flat tyres for reducing maintenance.

Suspension

A genuine all-terrain pushchair should have a sturdy suspension that is designed to be extra smooth and comfortable on rough terrain. This will make your child feel relaxed and at ease. The wheels will also be large and typically be puncture-proof to prevent damage from sharp sticks or rocks.

Some all-terrain strollers even offer the option to switch between additional tyres for different conditions. Certain all-terrain strollers feature an swivel wheel which can be locked to give stability or unlocked to permit greater manoeuvrability.

For added security, some all-terrain pushchairs will have a handbrake that is lockable, which is more accessible to utilize with your hands instead of the traditional brake pedal that is located placed on the handlebars' sides. This is a fantastic option if you're inclined to climb steep hills.

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 typically cheaper than the more expensive full-on all terrain buggy options but are ideal for trips to the park with your dog or short walks around the countryside.

Many of these strollers are suitable for newborns with either an infant carrycot or a car seat that is suitable for infants. 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 must meet minimum standards of an incline of about 150 degrees. Graco has solved this issue by introducing a new 'comfitech in-seat suspension' that lets the seat recline to a more comfortable 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 1 travel system.

A lot of all-terrain pushchairs do not have seats that can be reversible, however the models like the Oyster 3 wheel double buggy, Venicci Tinum and egg 2 do have this option and both offer a very good level of off-road capability and an acceptable weight limit for a 2-year old. Many pushchairs are classified as all-rounders. These include the iCandy Pear, Bugaboo Cameleon and others. They are able to manage rough terrain in parks or National Trust locations, but do not have the off-road capabilities of true all-terrain strollers.

Wheels

If you reside in a rural location or frequently take your child on walks over rough ground, an all-terrain pushchair is vital. These models typically come with larger back wheels than standard pushchairs which makes them better in handling rough off-road terrain, and ensuring a smooth ride for your child. Some also have a robust suspension and puncture-proof models which make them suitable for use on grass, woodland or paths through the forest or gravel tracks, as well as market town cobbles.

Certain all-terrain pushchairs come with an adjustable front wheel that provides additional stability when walking on rough terrain and over high kerbs. Some have swivel wheels on the front that let you maneuver the buggy more easily when changing direction or turning corners.

Most all-terrain pushchairs have air-filled tyres, which provide excellent shock absorption and are great for rough terrain but they're more prone to punctures than the solid EVA tyres found on lightweight city strollers so it's worth buying an repair kit with spare tubes and a pump to go with your pushchair. Some all-terrain models feature foam tyres which are less susceptible to punctures but aren't as good at taking in shock and could be harder to push than tyres with air filled.

The new Bugaboo Fox 5 is a excellent example of a pushchair that comes with air and foam-filled tyres, with a fantastic suspension system and large wheels that are puncture-proof at the rear. They are ideal for off-road or running (once your child is old enough). This model can also be used as a baby with a carrycot and a lie-flat chair.

If you're planning on taking your all-terrain pushchair off-road, it's worth opting for air-filled tyres rather than ones with rubber grips. They'll provide a more comfortable ride on uneven ground and be easier to manoeuvre in tight spaces. If you plan to use your all-terrain pushchair for occasional jogging, make sure the front wheel can swivel or has a quick release facility so it can be locked in place for more stability.

To keep the fabrics in pristine condition, it's important to ensure that they are washed by a machine. If not, a spot cleaning with warm water and a small 3 Wheel stroller amount of gentle soap should suffice. Drying the fabric completely outdoors can also prevent the growth of mould and mildew.
