3 Wheel All Terrain Pushchair

If you're looking for a pushchair to take on woodland walks or strolls on the main streets, an all-terrain pushchair with a great maneuverability will be an ideal choice. These models typically have large wheels and a surprisingly strong suspension for smooth riding over bumps and rough ground.

The majority are suitable for infants and come with seats that can be set in a flat position or a carrycot for newborns. These vehicles also have tyres that do not flatten, usually composed of foam.

Suspension

A genuine all-terrain pushchair will have a good suspension, specifically designed to be smooth on rough ground, helping your little one to feel comfortable and at ease. The wheels are usually large and puncture-proof to protect against injury from sharp sticks or rocks.

The larger tyres will also allow you navigate more difficult terrain with ease, with some all-terrain pushchairs even having additional tyres that can be switched between to suit different conditions. Depending on the kind of terrain you want to explore, some all-terrain pushchairs have an adjustable front wheel that can be locked for stability, or unlocked to allow for more manoeuvrability when needed.

For additional peace of mind, some all-terrain pushchairs will feature a locking handbrake that is more accessible to utilize with your hands instead of an ordinary brake pedal located placed on the handlebars' sides. This is an excellent feature to have if you like to tackle steep hills, especially with a child in the seat, and a number of shopping bags tucked away beneath!

If you don't want go quite as extreme as an all-terrain stroller, there are plenty of strollers on the market which are very well-built, but not ultimate - off road capability with great suspension and large wheels. They tend to be less expensive than full-on all terrain buggy models, and can be suitable for short walks in the countryside or trips to the park.

Many of these pushchairs can be used starting at birth, either with the carrycot or a newborn-ready car seat. Be aware that the seats will not be able to lie flat when you push over bumps or dips. According to EU regulations, they only have to meet minimum requirements of an incline of about 150 degrees. Graco has solved this issue with its new 'comfitech in-seat suspension' which allows the seat recline at a more rounded angle for more comfort. This feature is available on the Lila XP All-Terrain Pushchair, which can be paired with an appropriate Graco Infant Car Seat to create a 3-in-1 travel system.

They come with special features such as large puncture-proof tires to handle the most challenging surfaces. They tend to be quite large, which means they could be difficult to maneuver in tight spaces or narrow aisles in stores.

The seat on an all-terrain buggy can either be a parent or world facing and will grow with your child, from infant to toddler (it's suitable from 6 months). It's fitted with foam-filled 'never flat' tyres for a smooth ride with dual frame suspension, as well as luxurious padding in the seat unit that offers superb postural support and comfort. It also has a reclining mechanism, as well as an expansive sun hood that extends, integrated ventilation and a smart phone pocket.

It also comes with a 360 swivel lockable front wheel for manoeuvrability, and a one-handed fold that's super easy and quick. It's suitable for babies from birth and can be used with an UPPAbaby carrycot or infant car seat adaptors (sold separately).

There are a lot of all-terrain strollers that don't offer an reversible seat. However, the Oyster 3, Venicci Tanum and egg 2, which offer this option, come with a very good weight limit as well as a robust off-road ability. A lot of pushchairs are classified as all-rounders. This includes the iCandy Pear, Bugaboo Cameleon and a few others. They are able to navigate rough terrain in parks and National Trust locations, but do not have the off-road capabilities of true all-terrain strollers.

There are also crossover models that offer an excellent compromise between off-road and high-street. They come with big wheels, great suspension, and are designed in a pushchair-style, with reversible seating and carrycot options. Brands like iCandy, Easywalker and Bugaboo have come up with some fantastic models to take a look at.

Wheels

If you reside in a rural location or take your child regularly for walks over rough terrain an all-terrain pushchair becomes essential. These pushchairs typically come with larger back wheels than standard pushchairs which makes them better in handling rough off-road terrains and ensuring a smooth ride for your child. Many models also have robust suspension that is puncture-proof. They can be used on grass, woodland paths, forest paths, gravel roads and market town cobbles.

Certain all-terrain pushchairs come with a lockable front wheel which gives additional stability when walking on rough terrain or on high kerbs. Some have swivel wheels on the front that allow you to move the buggy with ease when you need to change direction or turn corners.


Most all-terrain pushchairs feature air-filled tyres which offer excellent shock absorption and are ideal for rough terrain, but they're more prone to punctures than the EVA tyres that are used on city strollers, which is why you should invest in a repair kit along with a spare inner tube and pump alongside your pushchair. Certain models have foam tyres which are less prone to puncture but could be more difficult to push.

The new Bugaboo Fox 5 pushchair is an excellent example of a stroller that includes both foam and air filled tyres. It also comes with a great suspension and large rear wheels that are puncture resistant and suitable for off-road usage or running (once your child reaches the appropriate age). This model is also suitable from birth and can be used in conjunction with a carrycot or a lay-flat seat.

Another alternative is the iCandy Peach All-Terrain, which has large tyres and has a single steering wheel at the front. It's not as flexible as some of the other pushchairs with all-terrain capabilities on this list but it does perform well on the terrain that is hilly and has a spacious one-handed fold, which is perfect if you're planning to use the pushchair for long walks or excursions to 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, such as a brake pedal that is easy to use with an adjustable handlebar as well as a generously spacious basket.

Stores

There are excellent all-terrain pushchairs for parents who would like to take their child off-road, but don't wish to tackle Ben Nevis. They offer the best of both. Look for a model with good all-terrain capability, sturdy suspension and large puncture-proof wheels, but built in a more traditional pushchair style, with reversible seats and all carrycot options.

UPPAbaby's well-known Ridge all-terrain pushchair is a great illustration of this. It has a great 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 useful feature that can help keep mildew and mould from growing.

If you plan to take your all-terrain stroller off-road and on the road, you should consider air-filled tires rather than rubber grips. These will provide a smoother ride over rough terrain and make it easier to navigate in tight spaces. If you intend to use your all terrain pushchair for occasional jogging make sure that the front wheel can be rotated or has a quick release feature to lock it into place for greater stability.

It's important to check the fabric of the pushchair is machine washed to ensure they are in good condition. If not, a spot clean with warm water and a small amount of mild soap will suffice. The fabric can be dried completely outside to avoid mold or mildew.
