3 Wheel All Terrain Pushchair

Whether you're looking for a buggy to tackle 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 usually have large wheels and have a powerful suspension to ensure a smooth ride over rough terrain and bumps.

Many are suitable for babies and include seats that can be set in a flat position or a carrycot for newborns. They also have foam-filled tyres that are never flat to help with maintenance.

Suspension

A true all terrain pushchair has a great suspension that is designed to be extra smooth on rough terrain which allows your child to be comfortable and calm. The wheels should also be large and usually be a puncture-proof type to prevent damage from sharp rocks or sticks.

Some all-terrain strollers also provide the option of switching between tyres with different conditions. Certain all-terrain strollers come with a swivel wheel that can be locked to offer stability or unlocked to permit greater maneuverability.

To give you added peace of mind Certain all-terrain pushchairs include a lockable handbrake which is more accessible to use with your free hand than with an ordinary brake pedal located on the handlebars' side. This is an excellent feature if you are inclined to climb steep hills.

If you don't wish to go as far as an all-terrain stroller, there are a lot of strollers available that are very well-built, but not ultimate - off road capability with great suspension and big wheels. These are usually cheaper than full-on all-terrain buggy models, and can be suitable for short walks in the countryside or trips to the park.

Many of these strollers are suitable for newborns with either an infant carrycot or a car seat that is ready for infants. Be aware, however, that when it comes to pushing over bumps and dips, the seats won't lie completely flat. As per EU regulations they only have to meet minimum requirements for recline 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 more flatter angle for a bit more comfort. This feature is available on the Lila XP all-terrain pushchair which can be used with an appropriate Graco infant car seat to create a 3 wheel stroller for running- in 1 travel system.
