3 Wheel All Terrain Pushchair

If you're looking for a pushchair for walking in the woods or a stroll on the main streets, an all-terrain pushchair with excellent manoeuvrability will be the perfect fit. These models typically come with large wheels and a suspension system that provides smooth riding on bumpy terrain.

Many are suitable for babies and come with a seat that can be positioned flat or a newborn carrycot. These vehicles also have tyres that do not flatten, and are usually made of foam.

Suspension

A truly all-terrain pushchair will have good suspension, designed to be extremely smooth on rough ground and help your child to be comfortable and calm. The wheels are usually large and puncture-proof to protect against injuries from sharp rocks or sharp sticks.

The larger tyres will also help you to tackle more challenging terrains easily Some all-terrain pushchairs even offering additional tyres to switch between to suit different conditions. Certain all-terrain strollers feature an swivel wheel that can be locked to provide stability, or left unlocked to permit greater maneuverability.

A few all-terrain strollers include a lockable brake handbrake that is easy to reach by hand. This is superior to an ordinary pedal on the handlebars. This is a great feature to have if you want to climb up steep hills, especially with children in the seat and lots of shopping bags hidden underneath!

If you don't want to go as far as an all-terrain stroller, there are plenty of strollers on the market which have very good - but not the ultimate off-road capabilities, and have great suspension and big wheels. They tend to be less expensive than full-on all terrain buggy models and can work well for short strolls in the countryside or trips to the park.

A lot of these pushchairs can be used starting at birth, either with the carrycot or a newborn-ready car seat. However, be aware that when pushing over dips and bumps, the seats will not lie completely flat. As per EU regulations, they are required to meet the minimum requirements for recline of around 150deg. Certain brands, like Graco, have overcome this problem with their new "comfitech" suspension in the seat that allows the seat to recline at a slightly more flatter angle for a bit more comfort. This feature is available on the Lila XP all-terrain pushchair which can be used with an appropriate Graco infant car seat to create a 3 wheeled buggy in 1 travel system.

A majority of all-terrain pushchairs lack a reversible seat, but the likes of the Oyster 3 wheeled buggy, Venicci Tinum and egg 2 do have this option and both offer an excellent level of off-road performance and have an acceptable weight limit for a two-year old. There are a variety of pushchairs that are classified as all-rounders, like the iCandy Pear and Bugaboo Cameleon that are able to cope with the rough terrain found in park or National Trust places but don't offer the off-road performance of true all-terrain pushchairs.
