3 wheel all terrain buggy Wheel All Terrain Pushchair
A pushchair that is all-terrain and offers outstanding maneuverability will work whether you’re seeking a stroller for walking in the woods or for taking a stroll along the high street. These models typically have large wheels and have a powerful suspension for smooth riding over bumps and rough ground.
The majority of them are suitable from birth and come with a lie-flat baby seat or newborn carrycot. These vehicles also come with tyres which never flatten, which are typically made from foam.
Suspension
A true all-terrain pushchair will have a good suspension that is designed to be smooth and comfortable on rough terrain. This will make your child feel relaxed and at ease. The wheels are usually large and puncture-proof to prevent injury from sharp rocks or sharp sticks.
The larger tyres can help you navigate more difficult terrain with ease and some pushchairs that are all-terrain even offering the option of additional tyres to switch between to suit different conditions. Certain all-terrain strollers feature an swivel wheel that can be locked to give stability or unlocked to permit greater manoeuvrability.
For additional peace of mind Some all-terrain pushchairs feature a locking handbrake that is more accessible to use with your hands free instead of the traditional brake pedal that is located to the handlebars’ side. This is a great feature to have if you like to tackle difficult terrain, particularly with a child in the seat, and a number of shopping bags tucked away underneath!
If you don’t wish to go as extreme as an all-terrain pushchair there are many strollers available that offer excellent – but not the ultimate off road capability with great suspension and large wheels. These are usually cheaper than full-on all-terrain buggy models, and can be suitable for short strolls in the countryside or trips to the park.
A lot of these pushchairs can be used from birth, either with a carrycot or a newborn-ready car seat. Be aware that when it comes to pushing over dips and bumps, the seats aren’t completely flat. According to EU regulations they only have to meet minimum standards for a reclining position of about 150 degrees. Certain brands, such as Graco have gotten around this with their new “comfitech” in-seat suspension that allows the seat to recline at a slightly flatter angle to provide a bit more comfort. This 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 tandem stroller– in one travel system.
Seat
There are a wide range of 3 wheel bassinet stroller-wheeled all-terrain pushchairs, which offer a superb off road capability. They are perfect if you reside in the countryside or walk on uneven, rough ground. These are more robust and durable than a regular pushchair. They are equipped with unique features, like big puncture-proof tires to handle the toughest surfaces. They can be quite large and may be difficult to maneuver through narrow spaces or in aisles of shops.
The seat of an all-terrain buggy may 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 smooth rides with dual frame suspension as well as lavish padding inside the seat unit that offers superb postural support and comfort. It has a reclining feature and comes with an extended hood that is large and integrated venting as well as an area for a smartphone.
The new Out ‘n’ About Nipper V5 is another excellent choice. It’s an all-terrain stroller that’s a trailblazer. It has fantastic suspension and air-filled tyres, so it’s suitable to run once your child is of the right age. It also comes with a 360 swivel lockable front wheel to allow for maneuverability, and it folds with one hand, which is simple and quick. 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 lot of all-terrain strollers that do not have a reversible seat. However, the Oyster 3, Venicci Tanum and egg 2, which come with this option, have a great weight limit as well as a high level of off-road capability. Many pushchairs are categorized as all-rounders. This includes the iCandy Pear, Bugaboo Cameleon and others. They are able to manage rough terrain in parks and National Trust locations, but don’t have the off-road capabilities as genuine all-terrain strollers.
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. Some of the best ones are made by brands such as iCandy Easywalker and Bugaboo.
Wheels
All-terrain pushchairs are essential if you live in the countryside or take your child on regular walks through rough terrain. These models typically come with larger back wheels than standard pushchairs, making them better in handling rough off-road terrains and ensuring a smooth ride for your child. A lot of models also have a durable suspension and are puncture-proof so they can be used on grass, woodland paths, forest paths, gravel roads, and market town cobbles.
Some all-terrain pushchairs also feature a lockable front wheel which offers extra stability when walking over rough terrain and over high kerbs. Some models have swivel wheels at the front that allow you to move the buggy more easily in case you want to change direction or turn corners.
All-terrain strollers come with air-filled tyres which are ideal for dealing with rough terrain. However, they are more prone than the solid EVA tyres used on lighter city strollers. It’s worth buying a repair kit as well as an spare inner tube along with your pushchair. Certain all-terrain models come with foam tyres, which are less prone to punctures, but aren’t as good at absorption of shock and can be harder to push than tyres with air filled.
The new Bugaboo Fox 5 is a excellent example of a pushchair that comes with air and foam-filled tyres, a great suspension system and large wheels that are puncture-proof at the rear. They are ideal for off-road and running (once your child is old enough). The model can also be used as a baby with a carrycot or a lying-flat chair.
The iCandy Peach All-Terrain is another option. It has big tyres, a single steering wheel at the front, and huge tyres. It’s not as flexible as the other strollers with all-terrain wheels on this list however, it is able to handle hilly terrain well 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 has a large, extendable sun canopy and a host of great features for parents, like a simple brake pedal with an adjustable handlebar as well as a generously sized basket.
Stores
Parents who want to take their little one off-road, but don’t want to commit to climbing Ben Nevis, there are top all-terrain pushchairs that give you the best of both worlds. Choose one that has all-terrain capabilities, sturdy suspension and large puncture proof wheels, but is constructed in a traditional pushchair style with reversible seating and carrycot options.
UPPAbaby’s popular Ridge all-terrain pushchair is an excellent example of this. It has a great suspension, a simple fold and a generous 10kg basket. It also has 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’re going to be driving your all-terrain pushchair off road, it’s worth opting for air-filled tyres instead of those with grips made of rubber. They will provide a smoother ride on rough ground and be easier to manoeuvre in tight spaces. If you plan to use your all-terrain stroller for occasional jogging, be sure the front wheel can pivot or features a quick release mechanism so it can be locked in place for more stability.
To ensure that the fabric is in pristine condition, ensure that they are washed by a machine. If not, a spot cleaning with warm soapy water and some warm water should suffice. Drying the fabric thoroughly outdoors will also help to prevent mildew and mould from forming.
The majority of our three wheel pushchairs can be used from the moment of birth. You should search for models that have a fully flat seat and a reversible backrest. This allows you to use the pushchair from the moment your baby is born until your child reaches three years of age. If you’re planning to travel with your family of three, there are plenty of models that are compatible with car seats thanks to built-in adaptors. You can leave your car at home and instead use all-terrain strollers with a fixed wheel for casual jogging or light strolling. One such example is the Delta Special Needs All-Terrain Jogger from Delichon that comes in various sizes of canvas and frame that can be used by children and adults.
