3 wheel all terrain pushchair (click this site)

A pushchair that is all-terrain and has excellent maneuverability will suit you whether you are looking for a buggy for woodland walks or a stroll on the main street. These types of models are typically equipped with large wheels and a suspension system that provides smooth riding on bumpy terrain.

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

Suspension

A truly all-terrain pushchair will have a good suspension which is specifically designed to be smooth on rough terrain and help your child to be comfortable and calm. The wheels are usually large and puncture-proof to prevent injury caused by sharp rocks or sharp sticks.

Some all-terrain strollers also allow you to switch between additional tyres for different conditions. Certain all-terrain strollers come with a swivel wheel that can be locked to provide stability or unlocked to permit greater manoeuvrability.

For added peace of mind, some all-terrain pushchairs will include a lockable handbrake which is more accessible to utilize with your hands rather than using an ordinary brake pedal located placed on the side of the handlebars. This is an excellent feature to have if you like to take on steep hills, especially with children in the seat, and a number of shopping bags stashed beneath!

If you don't want go quite as extreme as an all-terrain stroller, there are many strollers available that have very good - but not the ultimate off-road capabilities, and have great suspension and large wheels. These are usually less expensive than full-on all terrain buggy options and will still work well for short walks in the countryside or trips to the park.

Many of these strollers are suitable for babies with either a carrycot or car seat that is ready for newborns. Be aware that these seats won't be able to lie flat when you push over bumps or dips. As per EU regulations, they must meet minimum standards of an incline of about 150deg. Certain brands, such as Graco, have overcome this problem with their new 'comfitech' in-seat suspension which allows the seat to recline at a slightly flatter angle for a bit more comfort. This feature is available on the Lila XP all-terrain pushchair which can be used with a compatible Graco infant car seat to create a 3 wheeled travel system in one travel system.

Seat

There is a broad selection of 3-wheeled all-terrain pushchairs that offer an excellent off-road capability. They are ideal if you live in the countryside or walk frequently on rough, uneven terrain. These are more robust and durable than a regular pushchair. They are equipped with unique features like large puncture-proof tires to withstand the most difficult surfaces. They tend to be quite wide and can 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 expands with your child, from infant to toddler (it's suitable from 6 months). It is equipped with 'never-flat' foam tyres that provide a smooth ride. It also has dual frame suspension, luxurious padding and a seat with great postural support. It features a recline feature and comes with an enormous hood that can be extended, integrated venting and an area for a smartphone.

The brand new Out 'n' About Nipper V5 is another excellent choice. It's an all-terrain stroller that's a trailblazer. It comes with a fantastic suspension and air-filled tyres, so it's able to run once your child is of the right age. It also has an adjustable 360-degree swivel front wheel that allows for manoeuvrability and an easy fold that's quick and simple. It is suitable from birth, and is compatible with an adaptor for the UPPAbaby infant car seat or carrycot (sold separately).

A majority of all-terrain pushchairs lack seats that can be reversible, however the likes of the Oyster 3 wheel all terrain buggy, Venicci Tinum and egg 2 do offer this option and both offer a very good level of off-road performance, and also have a decent weight limit for a 2-year old. A lot of pushchairs are classified as all-rounders. They include the iCandy Pear, Bugaboo Cameleon and others. They can navigate rough terrain in parks or National Trust locations, but do not have the off-road capabilities of genuine all-terrain strollers.

There are also crossover models that are a good compromise between extreme off-road and high-street. They have big wheels, great suspension, and are built in a pushchair design, and include the option of reversible seating as well as carrycots. Some of the best ones are made by brands like iCandy Easywalker and Bugaboo.

Wheels

If you reside in a rural area or regularly take your baby for walks on rough terrain an all-terrain pushchair is essential. These pushchairs have larger wheels that are mounted on the back than normal pushchairs, allowing them to withstand bumpy terrain better and offer an easier ride for your child. Many models also have a robust suspension that is puncture-proof so they can be used on woodland paths or forest paths, gravel roads and market town cobbles.

Some all-terrain pushchairs also feature an adjustable front wheel that offers extra stability when walking over rough terrain and on high kerbs. Some have swivel wheels on the front that let you maneuver the buggy more easily when you change direction or turn corners.

All-terrain strollers feature 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 is therefore recommended to purchase a repair kit as well as an spare inner tube along with your pushchair. Certain models come with foam tyres which are less prone to puncture but might be more difficult to push.

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

Another alternative is the iCandy Peach All-Terrain, which has large tyres and has a single steering wheel at the front. It is not as flexible as the other all-terrain strollers on this list however, it is able to be able to handle terrain that is hilly and features a large, one-handed fold that's great for long walks in the countryside, or long journeys. It's also suitable from birth and has a large sun canopy that extends and a host of great features for parents, such as a brake pedal that is easy to use and a movable handlebar, as well as a large spacious basket.

Storage

There are some excellent all-terrain pushchairs that are ideal for parents who would like to take their child off-road, but do not want to take on Ben Nevis. They provide the best of both. Choose a model that has good all-terrain capability, sturdy suspension and big puncture-proof wheels. However, they are designed in a more traditional pushchair design with reversible seats as well as all carrycot options.

UPPAbaby's popular Ridge all terrain pushchair is a good illustration. It comes with a fantastic suspension and a single-hand fold and a generous basket that can carry up to 10 kg. However, it also has numerous features that are suitable for parents, such as an adjustable handlebar as well as a hand-operated break on the right. The hood can be removed, and washed with cool soapy-water to prevent mildew or mould.

If you plan to take your all-terrain stroller off-road choose air-filled tires rather than rubber grips. They will provide a smoother ride on rough terrain and will be more maneuverable in tight spaces. If you intend to use your all-terrain pushchair for occasional jogging, be sure the front wheel can pivot or has a quick release facility to ensure it is locked in place to give you more stability.

It is essential to determine if the fabric of the pushchair is machine washed to keep them in good condition. If not, spot cleaning with warm water and a little of gentle soap should suffice. Drying the fabric completely outdoors can also prevent mildew and mould from forming.

The majority of our 3 wheeled all terrain pushchairs can be used from birth. It is recommended to look for models with an all-flat, fully-reclining seat with an adjustable backrest. This will allow you to use the pushchair from birth until your child reaches around three years old. If you plan to travel with your family of three wheel pushchair, many are compatible with car seats thanks to the built-in adaptors. You can leave your car at home and use all-terrain strollers that have a fixed wheel for light jogging or casual strolling. One example is the Delta Special Needs All-Terrain Jogger from Delichon that comes in various frame and canvas sizes that suit both children and adults.
