3 Wheel All Terrain Pushchair

Whether you're seeking a stroller for walking in the woods or a stroll on the main streets, a pushchair that is all-terrain with excellent manoeuvrability will be the perfect fit. These models usually have large wheels and offer impressive suspension to ensure smooth riding over bumps and rough ground.

The majority of them are suitable from birth and include a lie-flat seat or a baby carrycot. They are also typically fitted with foam-filled, never-flat tyres for reducing maintenance.

Suspension

A truly all-terrain pushchair has a great suspension that is specifically designed to be smooth on rough terrain and help your child to feel comfortable and at ease. The wheels should also be large and will usually be puncture-proof to prevent damage from sharp sticks or rocks.

The larger tyres will help you tackle more difficult terrains with ease, with some all-terrain pushchairs even offering different tyres you can switch between to suit different conditions. Some all-terrain strollers have a swivel wheel that can be locked to provide stability, or left unlocked to permit greater maneuverability.

To give you added security Some all-terrain pushchairs feature a locking handbrake that is much easier to reach and utilize with your hands instead of an ordinary brake pedal located on the handlebars' sides. This is an excellent feature to have in case you prefer to tackle the steep slopes, especially with a child in the seat and lots of shopping bags hidden beneath!

If you don't want to go as extreme as an all-terrain pushchair there are many strollers that are very well-built, but not ultimate - off road capability with great suspension and large wheels. These are usually more affordable than full-on all-terrain buggy models, and can work well for short country walks or trips to the park.

Many of these pushchairs are suitable starting at birth, either with an infant carrycot or a baby-ready car seat. Be aware that the seats will not lay flat when pushing over bumps or dips. As per EU regulations, they only must meet minimum standards of a reclining angle of around 150 degrees. Certain brands, such as Graco, have overcome this issue with their "comfitech" in-seat suspension that allows the seat to recline at a flatter angle to provide a bit more comfort. It is available on the Lila XP all-terrain pushchair which can be used with an compatible Graco infant car seat to create a 3- in one travel system.
