3 Wheel All Terrain Pushchair

A pushchair that is all-terrain with outstanding maneuverability will work whether you're seeking a 3 wheeler stroller for walking in the woods or for taking a stroll along the main street. These models are usually equipped with large wheels and a suspension system that provides a smooth ride on rough terrain.

Most are suitable from birth and come with a lie-flat seat or newborn carrycot. These vehicles also have tyres that do not flatten, which are typically composed of foam.

Suspension

A genuine all-terrain pushchair will have a good suspension that is specifically designed to be ultra smooth and comfortable on rough terrain. This will make your child feel relaxed and comfortable. The wheels are typically large and puncture-proof to prevent injuries caused by sharp rocks or sharp sticks.

Some all-terrain strollers even provide the option of switching between tyres with different conditions. Some all-terrain strollers have an swivel wheel that can be locked to offer stability, or left unlocked to allow for greater manoeuvrability.

A few all-terrain strollers include a brake handbrake lockable that is easier to reach by hand. This is better than an ordinary pedal on the handlebars. This is a great option if you're an avid climber.

If you don't want to go quite as extreme as an all-terrain stroller, there are a lot of strollers on the market which have very good - but not perfect - off-road capability, with excellent suspension and large wheels. They are usually less expensive than the more expensive all-terrain pushchairs however they are perfectly suitable for trips to the park with the dog or short walks around the countryside.

Many of these pushchairs are suitable from birth, either with the carrycot or a newborn-ready car seat. Be aware that the seats will not lie flat when pushing over bumps or dips. As per EU regulations, they must meet minimum standards of reclined angles of approximately 150deg. Graco has gotten around this issue with its new 'comfitech seat suspension' that lets the seat to recline at a more rounded angle for 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 three-in-one travel system.

Seat

There is a broad selection of 3 wheel all terrain buggy-wheeled all-terrain pushchairs available, which offer a superb off-road capability. They are ideal if you live in the countryside or walk frequently on uneven, rough terrain. They are typically more durable and sturdy than a normal pushchair, and have special features such as larg-road and high-street. They have big wheels, excellent suspension, and are built in a pushchair-style, with the option of reversible seating as well as carrycots. Brands such as iCandy, Easywalker and Bugaboo have come up with some fantastic models to take a look at.

Wheels

If you reside in a rural area or frequently take your child for walks over rough terrain an all-terrain pushchair becomes essential. These models typically come with larger back wheels than standard pushchairs which makes them better at handling bumpy off-road terrain, and ensuring an easy ride for your child. Many models also have a durable suspension and are puncture-proof. They can be used on woodland paths or forest paths, gravel roads and market 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 high kerbs. Some models have swivel wheels at the front which allows you to move the buggy with ease in case you want to change direction or turn corners.

Most all-terrain pushchairs have air-filled tyres which offer excellent shock absorption and are perfect for rough terrain but they're more prone to punctures than the solid EVA tyres used on city strollers that are light, therefore it's a good idea to invest in an repair kit with spare tubes and a pump to go with your pushchair. Certain models have foam tyres that are less likely to puncture, but could be more difficult to push.

The new Bugaboo Fox 5 is a good example of a pushchair that comes with foam-filled and air-filled tyres, an excellent suspension system, and large wheels that are puncture-proof at the rear. They are ideal for off-road or jogging use (once your child is old enough). This model is also suitable for children from birth and can be used with a carrycot or a lie-flat seat.

Another alternative is the iCandy Peach All-Terrain, which has large tyres and has only a single steering wheel in the front. It is not as flexible as the other strollers that are all-terrain, but it can handle hilly terrain well and features a large one-handed fold that's great for long walks in the countryside or long trips. It's suitable for children and has a spacious, extendable canopy with an adjustable handlebar and a hugely-sized basket.

Stores

There are excellent all-terrain pushchairs for parents who are looking to take their children off-road, but do not wish to tackle Ben Nevis. They are the best of both. Find one that has all-terrain capabilities, sturdy suspension, and large puncture proof wheels, yet is built in a classic pushchair style with reversible seating and full carrycot options.

UPPAbaby's popular Ridge all-terrain pushchair is a perfect illustration of this. It has a great suspension, an easy one-handed fold and a huge 10kg 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 brushed down with cool soapy water is another handy feature that will help keep mildew and mould from growing.

If you're going to be driving your all-terrain pushchair off road it's best to opt for air-filled tyres rather than those with 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 to do occasional jogging, make sure the front wheel is able to swivel or features a quick release mechanism so it can be locked in place to give you greater stability.
