3 Wheel All Terrain Pushchair

A pushchair that is all-terrain and has excellent maneuverability will suit you whether you are searching for a buggy for woodland walks or an excursion on the high streets. These models typically come with large wheels and suspension that gives smooth riding on bumpy terrain.

Most are suitable from birth and come with a lie-flat seat or newborn carrycot. They also usually have foam-filled never-flat tyres to reduce maintenance.

Suspension

A true all terrain pushchair will have good suspension that is designed to be extra smooth on uneven ground which allows your child to be comfortable and calm. The wheels are usually large and puncture-proof to prevent injury from sharp sticks or rocks.

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

Certain all-terrain strollers have an adjustable brake handbrake that locks and is easy to reach with your free hand. This is superior to the traditional pedal that is located on the handlebars. This is a great feature for those who are inclined to climb steep hills.

There are many strollers with excellent off-road capabilities but aren't the most powerful. They also have large wheels and a great suspension. They are generally less expensive than full-on all terrain buggy models, and can be suitable for short walks in the countryside or trips to the park.

A lot of these pushchairs can be used from birth, either with an infant carrycot or a baby-ready car seat. Be aware, however, that when pushing over bumps and dips the seats aren't completely flat. As per EU regulations they only have to meet minimum standards for a reclining position of about 150deg. Some brands, including Graco have gotten around this with their new "comfitech" suspension in the seat that allows the seat to recline at a slightly flatter angle for a little more comfort. This feature is available on the Lila XP all-terrain pushchair which can be used in conjunction with an appropriate Graco infant car seat to create a 3- in 1 travel system.
