3 Wheel All Terrain Pushchair

Whether you're looking for a buggy for walking in the woods or a stroll on the main streets, an all-terrain pushchair with excellent maneuverability is an ideal choice. These models are usually equipped with large wheels and suspension systems that provide a smooth ride on rough terrain.

The majority are suitable for babies and include a lie-flat seat or newborn carrycot. They are also typically fitted with foam-filled, never-flat tyres for reducing maintenance.

Suspension

A truly all-terrain pushchair will have a good suspension which is specifically designed to be smooth on rough terrain and help your child to feel comfortable and relaxed. The wheels are usually large and puncture-proof, preventing damage from sharp rocks or sharp sticks.

Some all-terrain strollers offer the option to switch between tyres with different conditions. Certain all-terrain strollers feature an swivel wheel that can be locked to provide stability or unlocked to permit greater maneuverability.

Certain all-terrain strollers have a lockable brake handbrake that is more accessible by hand. This is superior to the traditional pedal that is located on the handlebars. This is an excellent feature if you are a fan of steep hills.

There are many strollers with excellent off-road capabilities, but not the ultimate. They also have big wheels and great suspension. They are generally more affordable than full-on all-terrain double buggy 3 wheels models, and can be suitable for short country walks or trips to the park.

Many of these pushchairs are suitable for babies from birth, whether 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 only need to meet minimum standards of reclined angles of approximately 150deg. Certain brands, such as Graco have gotten around this with their new "comfitech" suspension in the seat that allows the seat to recline at a slightly more flatter angle to provide a bit more comfort. This feature is available on the Lila XP all-terrain pushchair which can be used with an compatible Graco infant car seat to create a 3 wheel pushchairs in one travel system.
