3 Wheel All Terrain Pushchair

Whether you're looking for a pushchair to take on walks in the woods or strolls on the main streets, an all-terrain pushchair with excellent maneuverability is the perfect choice. These types of models are typically equipped with large wheels and a suspension system that provides smooth riding on rough terrain.

Most are suitable from birth and come with a lie-flat seat or newborn carrycot. These vehicles also come with tyres which never flatten, usually comprised of foam.

Suspension

A genuine all-terrain pushchair will have a good suspension that is designed to be extra smooth and comfortable on rough terrain. This will help your child feel relaxed and comfortable. The wheels will also be large and usually have a puncture-proof design to protect against damage caused by sharp sticks or rocks.

Some all-terrain strollers also provide the option of switching between additional tyres for different conditions. Depending on the kind of terrain you prefer to explore Certain all-terrain pushchairs feature an adjustable front wheel that can be locked to ensure stability or left unlocked for greater manoeuvrability when needed.

A few all-terrain strollers include a lockable brake handbrake that is more accessible with your free hand. This is better than the traditional pedal that is located on the handlebars. This is a fantastic feature to have in case you prefer to climb up steep hills, especially with children in the seat, and a number of shopping bags hidden beneath!

If you don't want to go quite as extreme as an all-terrain pushchair there are many strollers that are very well-built, but not perfect - off-road capability, with excellent suspension and large wheels. These are typically less expensive than the more expensive all-terrain buggy models but are perfect for walks in the dog park or short country walks.

A lot of these pushchairs are suitable from birth, either with the carrycot or a newborn-ready car seat. Be aware that the seats will not lay flat when pushing over bumps or dips. As per EU regulations, they only need to meet minimum standards of a reclining angle of around 150deg. Graco has overcome this problem with its new 'comfitech in-seat suspension' that lets the seat recline at a more rounded angle for a bit more comfort. It is available on the Lila XP all-terrain pushchair which can be used with a compatible Graco infant car seat to create a 3 wheel stroller set in one travel system.

Seat

There's a wide selection of 3-wheel all terrain pushchairs available with a fantastic off-road capability. They are perfect if reside in the countryside or walk frequently on rough, uneven terrain. They are usually more durable and sturdy than a normal pushchair, with special features such as large wheels that are puncture-proof to deal with the toughest of surfaces. They're usually quite wide, and could be difficult to maneuver in narrow spaces or through 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 for children as young as 6 months). It's outfitted with foam-filled "never flat' tyres to ensure smooth rides, dual frame suspension and luxurious padding in the seat that provides great postural support and comfort. It also has a reclining mechanism, as well as an expansive sun hood that extends, integrated ventilation and a pocket for your smart phone.

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

There are a number of all-terrain strollers that do not have a reversible seat. However, the Oyster cheap 3 wheel buggy, Venicci Tanum and egg 2, which have this option, come with a very good weight limit and a robust off-road ability. There are also many pushchairs that are classed as all-rounders, like the iCandy Pear and Bugaboo Cameleon that are able to cope with the rough terrain of the park or National Trust places but don't have quite the off-road capability of genuine all-terrain pushchairs.

There are also crossover models that are an excellent compromise between extreme off-road and high-street. They have big wheels, great suspension, and are designed in a pushchair design, and include the option of reversible seating as well as carrycots. The best 3 wheel stroller travel system models are made by brands such as iCandy Easywalker and Bugaboo.

Wheels

If you reside in a rural location or regularly take your baby for walks on rough terrain an all-terrain pushchair is essential. These pushchairs have larger wheels on the back than normal pushchairs, allowing them to handle bumpy terrain better and offer a smoother ride for your child. A lot of models also have a durable suspension and are puncture-proof, which means they can be used on woodland paths or forest paths, gravel roads, and market town cobbles.

Certain all-terrain strollers come with a lockable wheel at the front which provides extra stability when walking over rough terrain or high kerbs. Some models have swivel front wheels that let you maneuver the buggy more easily when changing direction or turning corners.

Most all-terrain pushchairs feature air-filled tyres, which provide excellent shock absorption and are ideal for rough terrain, however they're more susceptible to punctures than solid EVA tyres used on lightweight city strollers therefore it's a good idea to invest in an repair kit with spare tubes and a pump for your pushchair. Certain models come with foam tyres which are less likely to puncture but might be more difficult to push.

The new Bugaboo Fox 5 is a great example of a child's pushchair that has both air and foam-filled tyres, a great suspension system and large wheels that are puncture-proof at the rear. They are perfect for off-road or jogging use (once your child is old enough). The model can be used even from birth with a carrycot or an incline-flat chair.

The iCandy Peach All-Terrain is another option. It has big tyres, a single steering wheel at the front and large tyres. It's not as flexible as the other strollers with all-terrain wheels on this list however it can manage hilly terrain and features a large, one-hand fold that is ideal for long walks in the countryside or long journeys. It's also suitable for babies and comes with a large, extendable sun canopy and some great parent-friendly features like a simple brake pedal, adjustable handlebar and generously sized basket.

Stores

For parents that want to take their child off-road, but aren't sure about tackling Ben Nevis, there are excellent all terrain pushchairs that offer the best of both worlds. Look for one that has all-terrain capabilities, sturdy suspension, and large puncture proof wheels, but is constructed in a classic pushchair style with reversible seating and carrycot options.

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

If you are planning to use your all-terrain stroller off the road choose air-filled tires rather than rubber grips. They'll provide an easier ride on rough terrain, and make it easier to navigate through tight spaces. If you are planning to use your all-terrain pushchair to jog occasionally, ensure that the front wheel can be rotated or has a quick-release facility so it can lock in position for better stability.

To keep the fabrics in perfect condition, it's important to make sure they can be machine-washed. If not, a spot cleaning using soapy water and warm water should be sufficient. The fabric can be dried thoroughly outside to avoid mildew or mould.

The majority of our three wheel pushchairs can be used from the time of birth. You should look for models that have a fully flat seat and reversible backrest. This will allow you to use the pushchair from the time your baby is born until the time your child is around three years of age. If you plan to travel as a family of three, many are compatible with car seats thanks to the built-in adaptors. If you'd rather leave the car at home, there are all-terrain pushchairs with a fixed front wheel that are perfect for casual strolling or jogging for a short distance like the Delta Special Needs all-terrain jogger from Delichon which is available in a variety of canvas and frame sizes that can be used by adults and children.
