3 Wheel All Terrain Pushchair

A pushchair that is all-terrain with outstanding maneuverability will work whether you're looking for a buggy for nature walks or taking a stroll along the high street. These models typically come with large wheels and suspension that gives smooth riding on rough terrain.

The majority are suitable for infants and come with a seat that can be set in a flat position or a carrycot for newborns. They are also typically fitted with foam-filled, never-flat tyres for reducing maintenance.

Suspension

A quality all-terrain pushchair will have an excellent suspension that has been designed to be extra smooth and comfortable on rough terrain. This will help your child to feel comfortable and at ease. The wheels should also be large and usually be puncture-proof to protect against damage caused by sharp rocks or sticks.

Some all-terrain strollers also provide the option of switching between different tyres to suit the conditions. Certain all-terrain strollers feature an swivel wheel which can be locked to give stability, or left unlocked to allow for greater manoeuvrability.

Some all-terrain strollers come with a brake handbrake lockable that is easier to reach by hand. This is better than a traditional pedal on the handlebars. This is a fantastic feature to have in case you prefer to tackle steep hills, especially with a child in the seat, and a number of shopping bags tucked away beneath!

There are many strollers with excellent off-road capabilities however they are not the best. They also have big wheels and a great suspension. These are often a bit less expensive than the more expensive all terrain buggy options, and will still be perfectly suitable for trips to the dog park or for short walks in the country.

Many of these strollers are suitable for infants and come with a carrycot or car seat that is designed for babies. Be aware that when it comes to pushing over dips and bumps, the seats will not lie completely flat - as per EU regulations, they are required to meet minimum standards for a recline of around 150deg. Certain brands, such as Graco have gotten around this problem with their new 'comfitech' in-seat suspension which allows the seat to recline at a slightly more flatter angle for a little more comfort. This feature is available on the Lila XP All-Terrain Pushchair, which can be combined with an appropriate Graco Infant Car Seat to create a 3 wheeler stroller-in-1 travel system.

Seat

There's a whole range of lightweight 3 wheel stroller-wheel all-terrain pushchairs available, offering a superb off-road performance. They are ideal if you reside in the countryside or walk frequently on uneven, rough terrain. They are more durable and durable than a regular pushchair. They have special features such as large puncture-proof tires to withstand the toughest surfaces. They tend to be quite wide, and could be difficult to maneuver in tight spaces or aisles in shops.

The seat of an all-terrain buggy may be facing the world or towards the parent and expands with your child, from infant to toddler (it's suitable from 6 months). It's equipped with foam-filled 'never flat' tyres to ensure smooth rides with dual frame suspension as well as luxurious padding in the seat, which provides great postural support and comfort. It also comes with a reclining mechanism, an expansive sun hood that extends, integrated ventilation and a smart phone pocket.

The brand new Out 'n' About Nipper V5 is another excellent choice. It's an all-terrain stroller that is an innovator. It comes with great suspension and tyres with air-filled so it can be used to jog once your child reaches the appropriate age. It has a 360-degree lockable front wheel that allows easy maneuverability and a quick one-handed folding. It's suitable for babies from birth and can be used with an UPPAbaby infant car seat adaptor or carrycot (sold separately).

There are a lot of all-terrain strollers that do not have a reversible seat. However, the Oyster 3 wheel stroller for newborn, Venicci Tanum and egg 2, which offer this option, come with a very good weight limit as well as a robust off-road ability. There are a variety of pushchairs that are classified as all-rounders, like the iCandy Pear and Bugaboo Cameleon, which cope very well with the rough terrain of the park or National Trust places but don't offer the off-road performance of all-terrain pushchairs.

Then there are the crossover models which are a fantastic combination of extreme off-road and high street and are able to handle all terrains with large wheels and great suspension, but they're designed in a typical pushchair style with reversible seats and full carrycot options, so 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 frequently take your child on walks over rough ground an all-terrain pushchair becomes essential. These pushchairs typically have larger back wheels than standard pushchairs, making them better at handling bumpy, off-road terrain and providing a smooth ride for your child. Some also have a sturdy suspension and puncture-proof versions so that they're suitable for use on grass, woodland or trails, gravel tracks and market town cobbles.

Certain all-terrain strollers also come with a lockable wheel at the front which provides extra stability while walking over rough terrain or over high kerbs. Some have swivel wheels on the front which allows you to move the buggy with ease when you need to change direction or turn corners.

All-terrain strollers feature air-filled tyres which are ideal for 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 to go with your pushchair. Some all-terrain models have foam tyres, which are less prone to punctures but they're not as effective at absorbing shock and may feel harder to push than air-filled tyres.

The brand new Bugaboo Fox 5 pushchair is a great model of a stroller which has both foam and air filled tyres. It also comes with a fantastic suspension and large rear wheels that are puncture proof and suitable for off-road usage or running (once your child reaches an appropriate age). The model can be used even from birth with a carrycot as well as an incline-flat chair.

The iCandy Peach All-Terrain is another option. It has large tyres, a single steering-wheel at the front and large tyres. It's not as flexible as some of the other pushchairs with all-terrain capabilities on this list but it does handle hilly terrain and has an expansive, one-handed fold which is ideal if you plan to be using the pushchair for long walks or excursions to the countryside. It's also suitable for infants and comes with a large canopy that can be extended and a movable handlebar and a large, spacious basket.

Storage

For parents that would like to take their little one off-road, but aren't sure about climbing Ben Nevis, there are excellent all terrain pushchairs that give you the best of both worlds. Choose one that has all-terrain capabilities, sturdy suspension and large puncture proof wheels, but is designed in a classic pushchair style with reversible seating and full carrycot options.

The UPPAbaby's bestselling Ridge all-terrain pushchair is a perfect example of this. It has a great suspension, a simple one-handed fold, and a large 10kg basket. It also has features that are suitable for parents, such as an adjustable handlebar, a hand-operated brake on the right side and a large covered storage space. A hood that can be removed and brushed down with cool soapy water is another useful feature that can help prevent mildew and mould from forming.

If you're going to be driving your all-terrain pushchair off road it's a good idea to choose air-filled tyres rather than those with rubber grips. They will provide a smoother ride on rough ground and will be more maneuverable in tight spaces. If you intend to use your all-terrain stroller for occasional jogging, be sure the front wheel can swivel or has a quick release facility so it can be locked in place to provide greater stability.

It's important to check the fabric of the pushchair is machine washed to ensure they are in perfect condition. If not, a spot cleaning with soapy water, warm, and warm water should be sufficient. Drying the fabric thoroughly outside will also help prevent mould and mildew from developing.

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