3 Wheel All Terrain Pushchair

A pushchair that is all-terrain with outstanding maneuverability will work whether you are looking for a buggy for woodland walks or a stroll on the high streets. These models typically have large wheels and a surprisingly strong suspension for a smooth ride over bumps and rough ground.

Most are suitable for newborns and include a seat that can be set in a flat position or a carrycot for newborns. These vehicles also come with tyres which never flatten, which are typically made from foam.

Suspension

A genuine all-terrain pushchair has a great suspension which is designed to be extra smooth on uneven ground and help your child to feel comfortable and relaxed. The wheels will also be large and will usually be a puncture-proof type to protect against damage caused by sharp sticks or rocks.

Some all-terrain strollers also allow you to switch between different tyres to suit the conditions. Certain all-terrain strollers come with an swivel wheel which can be locked to provide stability or unlocked to allow for greater manoeuvrability.

To give you added security Certain all-terrain pushchairs feature a locking handbrake that is easier to reach and use with your free hand rather than using the traditional brake pedal that is located on the handlebars' sides. This is an excellent feature to have if you want to tackle the steep slopes, especially with a child in the seat and a lot of shopping bags stashed underneath!

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

A lot of strollers are suitable for infants, with either a carrycot or car seat that is ready for babies. However, be aware that when it comes to pushing over dips and bumps, the seats aren't completely flat. As per EU regulations, they are required to meet minimum requirements for recline of around 150 degrees. Graco has gotten around this issue with its new 'comfitech seat suspension' that lets the seat recline at a flatter angle for more comfort. This feature is available on the Lila XP All-Terrain Pushchair, that can be used in conjunction with a compatible Graco Infant Car Seat to create a 3 wheel stroller and car seat-in-1 travel system.

Seat

There's a variety of 3 wheel pushchair with car seat-wheel all-terrain pushchairs available with a fantastic off-road capabilities. They are great for those who live in the countryside or frequently go walking on uneven, rough ground. They are often more robust and sturdy than a normal pushchair, and come with features like large puncture-proof wheels to withstand the toughest of surfaces. They are usually quite wide, and may be difficult to maneuver in tight spaces or aisles in shops.

All-terrain buggy seats can be placed either with the parent or facing. They will grow with your child from birth to toddler. It's fitted with foam-filled 'never flat' tyres that provide a smooth ride, 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 extended sun hood that can be extended with integrated ventilation, as well as a smart phone pocket.

Another great option is the new Out 'n' About Nipper V5 Pushchair for all-terrain use that is a true trailblazer with great suspension and air-filled tyres, which means it can be used to jog once your child is old enough. It also comes with a 360 swivel lockable front wheel for manoeuvrability, and an easy fold that's quick and simple. It's suitable from birth, and can be used with an adaptor for UPPAbaby's infant car seat or carrycot (sold separately).

There are a number of all-terrain strollers that don't offer an reversible seat. However, the Oyster 3 wheel umbrella stroller, Venicci Tanum and egg 2, which come with this option, have a good weight limit and a very excellent off-road capability. There are a variety of pushchairs that are classed as all-rounders, like the iCandy Pear and Bugaboo Cameleon that are able to cope with rough terrain at the park or National Trust places but don't offer the off-road performance of true all-terrain pushchairs.

There are also crossover models that are a good compromise between extreme off road and high street. They have big wheels, excellent suspension, and are built in a pushchair style, with an option for reversible seating and a carrycot. The best 3 wheel stroller travel system models are made by brands like iCandy Easywalker and Bugaboo.

Wheels

If you reside in a rural area or regularly take your baby for walks on rough terrain an all-terrain pushchair is vital. These models usually have larger back wheels than standard pushchairs, which makes them more adept in handling rough off-road terrain, and ensuring a smooth ride for your child. Many models also have robust suspension that is puncture-proof, which means they can be used on woodland paths or forest paths, gravel roads and market town cobbles.

Certain all-terrain strollers have a lockable wheel on the front, which gives extra stability when walking on rough terrain or over high kerbs. Some have swivel wheels on the front, which allow you to move the buggy more easily in case you want to change direction or turn corners.

All-terrain strollers have air-filled tyres which are ideal for tackling rough terrain. However, they are more prone to punctures than the EVA tyres found on lightweight city strollers. It is therefore recommended to purchase a repair kit and spare inner tube along with your pushchair. Certain all-terrain models come with foam tyres, which are less susceptible to punctures, but aren't as effective in absorbing shock and may be more difficult to push than air-filled tyres.

The new Bugaboo Fox 5 is a good example of a pushchair that has both foam-filled and air-filled tyres. It also has a great suspension system and large rear puncture-proof wheels which are perfect for off-road or jogging use (once your child is old enough). It can also be used from birth with a carrycot as well as a lying-flat chair.

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 flexible as the other all-terrain pushchairs listed on this list, but it can handle hills and features an expansive one-handed fold that is perfect if you're planning to be using the pushchair for long walks or trips to the countryside. It's suitable for children and has a spacious canopy that extends, an adjustable handlebar, and a generously sized basket.

Storage

There are excellent all-terrain pushchairs designed for parents who want to take their child off-road, but don't want to tackle Ben Nevis. They are the best of both. Find models that have good all-terrain capabilities, sturdy suspension and large puncture proof wheels, but is designed in a traditional pushchair design with reversible seating as well as full carrycot options.

UPPAbaby's popular Ridge all terrain pushchair is a great illustration. It comes with a fantastic suspension as well as a one-handed fold and a large basket that can carry up to 10kg. However, it also has many features that are child-friendly, like an adjustable handlebar and an operated break that can be operated by hand on the right. A hood that can be removed and cleaned with cool soapy water is another useful feature that can help to stop mould and mildew from growing.

If you intend to take your all-terrain stroller off-road choose air-filled tires instead of rubber grips. They'll provide a smoother ride over rough terrain and will make it easier to maneuver in tight spaces. If you plan to use your all terrain pushchair to jog occasionally, make sure that the front wheel is swivelable or has a quick-release feature to lock it into position for better stability.

To ensure that the fabric is in pristine condition, it's important to ensure that they can be washed by a machine. If not, a spot cleaning with soapy water, warm, and warm water should suffice. Drying the fabric thoroughly outside will also help prevent mould and mildew from developing.

The majority of our three wheel pushchairs are suitable from the moment of birth. Look for models with a fully lie-flat chair and reversible backrest that will allow you to use it from newborn right up until your child is around three years old. Some are compatible with car seat adaptors for a family of three. If you'd rather leave the car at home, there are all-terrain pushchairs that have fixed front wheels which are ideal for a casual stroll or jogging light, such as the Delta Special Needs all-terrain jogger from Delichon which is available in a variety of frame and canvas sizes that can be used by adults and children.
