3 Wheel All Terrain Pushchair

A pushchair that is all-terrain and offers great maneuverability will be perfect whether you're seeking a stroller for woodland walks or an excursion on the high streets. These types typically have big wheels and a surprisingly strong suspension to ensure smooth riding over rough terrain and bumps.

The majority are suitable for infants and include a seat that can be placed in a flat position or a carrycot for newborns. These vehicles also come with tyres which never flatten, usually composed from foam.

Suspension

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

Some all-terrain strollers also provide the option of switching between different tyres to suit the conditions. Certain all-terrain strollers come with an swivel wheel which can be locked to provide stability, or left unlocked to permit greater maneuverability.

A few all-terrain strollers include an adjustable brake handbrake that locks and is easy to reach by hand. This is better than an ordinary pedal on the handlebars. This is an excellent feature to have if you want to take on the steep slopes, especially with a child in the seat and lots of shopping bags stashed underneath!

There are many strollers that have excellent off-road capabilities, but not the ultimate. They also have big wheels and excellent suspension. They are usually cheaper than the more expensive full-on all terrain buggy options but are ideal for excursions to the park with your dog or short country walks.

A lot of strollers are suitable for babies and come with a carrycot or a car seat that is ready for babies. Be aware that when it comes to pushing over bumps and dips, the seats aren't completely flat - as per EU regulations they only have to meet minimum requirements for reclining position of about 150deg. Certain brands, like Graco have gotten around this problem with their new "comfitech" in-seat suspension that allows the seat to recline at a slightly more flatter angle for a bit more comfort. This is available on the Lila XP all-terrain pushchair which can be used with a compatible Graco infant car seat to create a 3- in 1 travel system.

Seat

There is a variety of 3-wheeled all-terrain pushchairs available that provide a fantastic off-road capability. They are great for those who reside in the countryside or regularly go walking on rough, uneven ground. These are more robust and durable than a standard pushchair. They are equipped with unique features like large puncture-proof tires to withstand the most challenging surfaces. They're usually quite wide, so could be difficult to maneuver in tight spaces or aisles in shops.

All-terrain buggy seats can be positioned either parent or world facing. They can grow with your child from birth to toddler. It comes with 'never flat' foam-filled tyres that provide a smooth ride. It also has dual frame suspension with luxurious padding, as well as an adjustable seat that provides excellent postural support. It also has a reclining mechanism, a large extendable sun hood, integrated ventilation and an integrated pocket for smartphones.

Another option that is a great choice is the brand new Out 'n' About Nipper V5, an all-terrain pushchair that's a trailblazer with great suspension and tyres that are air-filled, so it can be used to jog once your child is old enough. It also comes with the ability to lock the front 360 swivel wheel to allow for maneuverability, and an easy fold that's simple and quick. It's suitable from birth and can be combined with an UPPAbaby carrycot, or infant car seat adaptors (sold separately).

There are a number of all-terrain strollers, but they don't have an reversible seat. However the Oyster 3 wheel travel stroller, Venicci Tanum and egg 2, which come with this option, have a good weight limit as well as a excellent off-road capability. There are many pushchairs that are classified as all-rounders, such as the iCandy Pear and Bugaboo Cameleon which are very good with the rough terrain of the park or National Trust places but don't offer the off-road capabilities of all-terrain pushchairs.

There are also crossover models that are a great compromise between 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 the option of a full carrycot, so they can be used on a daily basis. Some of the best ones are manufactured by brands like iCandy Easywalker and Bugaboo.

Wheels

All-terrain pushchairs are essential when you live in a rural area or take your child on regular walks on rough terrain. These pushchairs typically have bigger back wheels than standard pushchairs, making them better in handling rough, off-road terrain and providing a smooth ride for your child. Some also have a robust suspension and puncture-proof models so that they're suitable for use on woodland, grass or trails, gravel tracks and market town cobbles.

Some all-terrain pushchairs also feature front wheels that lock, which provides additional stability when walking on rough terrain and over high kerbs. Some have swivel wheels on the front, which allow you to move the buggy more easily when you need to change direction or turn corners.

All-terrain pushchairs come with air-filled tyres which offer excellent shock absorption and are ideal for rough terrain, but they are more susceptible to punctures than solid EVA tyres used on city strollers that are light, so it's worth buying repair kits with spare tubes and a pump for your pushchair. Some all-terrain models have foam tyres which are less prone to punctures but aren't as effective in absorbing shock and may be more difficult to push than tyres filled with air.

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 rear puncture-proof wheels that are ideal for off-road and jogging use (once your child is old enough). It is also suitable for children from birth and can be used with a carrycot or a lay-flat seat.

Another option is the iCandy Peach All-Terrain, which has large tyres and has only a single steering wheel in the front. It's not as versatile like the other all-terrain pushchairs on this list, but it does perform well on hills and features an ample one-handed fold, which is great if you're going to use the pushchair for long walks or trips into the countryside. It's also suitable from birth and comes with a large sun canopy that can be extended and a host of great features for parents, like a simple brake pedal, adjustable handlebar and generously big basket.

Storage

There are excellent all-terrain pushchairs designed for parents who are looking to take their children off-road but don't want to tackle Ben Nevis. They offer the best of both. Choose one that has all-terrain capabilities, sturdy suspension, and large puncture-proof wheels, but is constructed in a traditional pushchair style with reversible seating and full carrycot options.

UPPAbaby's popular Ridge all-terrain pushchair is a perfect example of this; it offers excellent suspension, an easy one-handed fold and a huge 10kg basket, but it also comes with features that are suitable for parents, such as an adjustable handlebar, hand-operated brake on the right side and a huge covered storage space. A hood that can be removed and then brushed down with cool soapy water is a handy feature that will help to stop mould and mildew from growing.

If you're planning on using your all-terrain pushchair off-road it's a good idea to choose air-filled tyres, rather than ones with rubber grips. They'll provide a more comfortable ride on uneven ground and will be more maneuverable in tight spaces. If you are planning to use your all terrain pushchair for occasional jogging ensure that the front wheel can be rotated or has a quick-release feature to lock it in position for better stability.

To keep the fabrics in good condition, ensure that they are machine-washed. If not, spot cleaning with warm water and a bit of soap gentle enough should be sufficient. The fabric can be dried completely outside to avoid mold or mildew.

The majority of our three wheel all terrain pushchairs can be used from birth. Find models with a fully lie-flat chair and a reversible backrest to allow you to use it from the time of birth until your child is three years old. Many are compatible with car seat adaptors for a family of three. If you'd prefer to leave the car at home, there are all-terrain pushchairs with a fixed front wheel which are ideal for casual strolling or jogging light, such as the Delta Special Needs all-terrain jogger from Delichon that is available in a variety of frame and canvas sizes to fit adults and children.
