What NOT To Do With The 3 Wheel All Terrain Pushchair Industry
3 Wheel All Terrain Pushchair
Whether you're looking for a pushchair for walking in the woods or a stroll along the high-street, an all-terrain pushchair with excellent manoeuvrability will be the perfect fit. These models are usually equipped with large wheels and a suspension system that provides smooth riding on rough terrain.
The majority are suitable for babies and include a lie-flat seat or a newborn carrycot. They also have foam-filled never-flat tyres to reduce maintenance.
Suspension
A truly all-terrain pushchair will have good suspension that is specifically designed to be smooth on rough terrain and help your child to feel comfortable and at ease. The wheels are typically large and puncture-proof to prevent damage from sharp sticks or rocks.
Some all-terrain strollers even offer the option to switch between different tyres to suit the conditions. Some all-terrain strollers have a swivel wheel that can be locked to provide stability, or left unlocked to permit greater manoeuvrability.
To give you added peace of mind, some all-terrain pushchairs will have a handbrake that is lockable, which is more accessible to use with your hands free rather than using the traditional brake pedal that is located placed on the handlebars' sides. This is a fantastic option if you're an avid climber.
There are many strollers that offer excellent off-road capabilities, but not the ultimate. They also have large wheels and great suspension. They are generally less expensive than full-on all terrain buggy options and will still work well for short walks in the countryside or trips to the park.
A lot of these pushchairs are suitable from birth, either with an infant carrycot or a baby-ready car seat. Be aware that these seats won't lay flat when pushing over bumps or dips. As per EU regulations, they need to meet minimum standards of a reclining angle of around 150 degrees. Some brands, including Graco have gotten around this problem 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 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.
Seat
There's a whole range of three-wheel all terrain pushchairs to choose from with a fantastic off-road performance. They are great for those who live in the countryside or regularly take a walk on uneven, rough terrain. They are typically more durable and durable than a standard pushchair, and have special features like large wheels that are puncture-proof to deal with the toughest of surfaces. They can be quite large and may be difficult to maneuver in tight spaces or in aisles of shops.
The seat of an all-terrain buggy could be facing the world or towards the parent and grows with your child, from infant to toddler (it's suitable from 6 months). It's equipped with foam-filled 'never flat' tyres to ensure an easy ride, dual frame suspension and luxurious padding in the seat unit that offers superb postural support and comfort. It also comes with a reclining mechanism, as well as an expansive sun hood that extends that has integrated ventilation as well as a pocket for your smart phone.
Another excellent choice is the new Out 'n' About Nipper V5, an all-terrain pushchair that is a true trailblazer with great suspension and air-filled tyres, making it suitable to jog once your child is old enough. It also features the ability to lock the front 360 swivel wheel that allows for manoeuvrability and an easy fold that's quick and simple. It's suitable from birth and can be paired with an UPPAbaby car seat or infant car seat adaptors (sold separately).
There are many all-terrain strollers, but they don't have the option of a reversible seating. However the Oyster 3, Venicci Tanum and egg 2, which come with this option, have a good weight limit as well as a high level of off-road capability. There are a variety of pushchairs that are classified as all-rounders, like the iCandy Pear and Bugaboo Cameleon which are very good with rough terrain at the park or National Trust places but don't offer the off-road performance of all-terrain pushchairs.
There are also crossover models that are an excellent compromise between off-road and high-street. They have large wheels, great suspension, and are built in a pushchair design, and include an option for reversible seating and a carrycot. Some of the top models are made by brands like iCandy Easywalker and Bugaboo.
Wheels
If you reside in a rural location or regularly take your baby for walks over rough terrain an all-terrain pushchair is vital. These models usually have bigger back wheels than regular pushchairs, which makes them more adept in handling rough off-road terrain, and ensuring an easy ride for your child. A lot of models also have a durable suspension and are puncture-proof. Pushchairs And Prams can be used on grass, woodland paths and forest paths, as well as gravel roads and market town cobbles.
Some all-terrain strollers also come with a lockable wheel at the front, which gives extra stability when walking on rough terrain or 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 strollers feature air-filled tyres that are excellent for rough terrain. However they are more susceptible to punctures to punctures than the EVA tyres found on lightweight city strollers. It is therefore recommended to purchase a repair kit and spare inner tube to go with your pushchair. Certain all-terrain models come with foam tyres which are less susceptible to punctures, but aren't as good at absorption of shock and can be more difficult to push than tyres with air filled.
The brand new Bugaboo Fox 5 pushchair is an excellent example of a stroller that features both air and foam filled tyres. It also features an excellent suspension and large rear wheels that are puncture resistant and suitable for off-road use or running (once your child reaches an appropriate age). This model can also be used as a baby with a carrycot and an incline-flat chair.
The iCandy Peach All-Terrain is another alternative. It has large tyres, a single steering wheel at the front and large tyres. It's not as versatile as the other all-terrain pushchairs listed on this list, but it does handle the terrain that is hilly and has a spacious one-handed fold that is perfect if you're planning to use the pushchair for long walks or trips to the countryside. It's also suitable for children from birth and has a large sun canopy that extends and a host of great features for parents, including an easy-to-use brake pedal and a movable handlebar, as well as a large sized basket.
Stores
There are excellent all-terrain pushchairs for parents who would like to take their child off-road, but do not want to tackle Ben Nevis. They offer the best of both. Choose a model that has good all-terrain capabilities, sturdy suspension, and large puncture-proof wheels, but is constructed in a classic pushchair style with reversible seating as well as full carrycot options.
The UPPAbaby's bestselling Ridge all-terrain pushchair is a perfect example of this. It offers excellent suspension, a simple fold and a generous 10kg basket, but it also comes with features for parents that are child-friendly, like an adjustable handlebar, hand-operated brake on the right side and a large, covered storage space. The hood can be taken off and washed using cool soapy-water to keep out mould and mildew.
If you plan to use your all-terrain stroller off the road and on the road, you should consider air-filled tires instead of rubber grips. These will give a smoother ride on rough terrain and are easier to maneuver in tight spaces. If you plan to use your all terrain pushchair for occasional jogging ensure 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, ensure that they are washed by a machine. If not, a spot clean with warm water and a little of mild soap will suffice. The fabric can be dried thoroughly outside to prevent mould or mildew.

Most of our 3 wheeled all terrain pushchairs can be used from birth. You should search for models with a fully lying-flat seat with reversible backrest. This allows you to use the pushchair from the moment your baby is born until your child reaches around three years old. Many are compatible with car seat adapters when you're traveling with a three-person family. If you'd prefer to leave the car at home, there are all-terrain pushchairs that have a fixed front wheel that are perfect for casual strolling or jogging for a short distance, such as the Delta Special Needs all-terrain jogger from Delichon which comes in a variety of sizes for canvas and frames to suit children and adults.
