3 Wheel All Terrain Pushchair

Whether you're looking for a buggy to take on woodland walks or strolls along the high-street, an all terrain pushchair with a great maneuverability will be a great fit. These models typically have large wheels and a surprisingly strong suspension to ensure smooth riding over rough terrain and bumps.

The majority are suitable for infants and include seats that can be set in a flat position or a carrycot for newborns. They also have foam-filled never-flat tyres to reduce maintenance.

Suspension

A genuine all-terrain pushchair will have an excellent suspension that has been specifically designed to be ultra smooth and comfortable on rough terrain. This will make your child feel more relaxed and comfortable. The wheels are typically large and puncture-proof, preventing damage from sharp rocks or sharp sticks.

The larger tyres will also allow you tackle more difficult terrain with ease, with some all-terrain pushchairs even offering additional tyres that can be switched between to suit different conditions. Certain all-terrain strollers come with an swivel wheel that can be locked to offer stability, or left unlocked to permit greater maneuverability.

A few all-terrain strollers include a brake handbrake lockable that is easy to reach using your hands. This is more convenient than the traditional pedal that is located on the handlebars. This is a great feature for those who are an avid climber.

If you don't want to go as extreme 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. They tend to be more affordable than full-on all-terrain buggy options and will still work well for short strolls in the countryside or trips to the park.

Many of these pushchairs are suitable from birth, either with an infant carrycot or a baby-ready car seat. However, be aware that when pushing over bumps and dips, the seats aren't completely flat. As per EU regulations they only have to meet minimum requirements for recline of around 150deg. Certain brands, like Graco, have overcome this with their new 'comfitech' in-seat suspension which allows the seat to recline at a flatter angle for a little more comfort. It is available on the Lila XP all terrain 3 wheel stroller-terrain pushchair which can be used with a compatible Graco infant car seat to create a 3 wheel stroller reversible seat- in 1 travel system.

Seat

There's a variety of three-wheel all terrain pushchairs available that offer excellent off-road capabilities. They are ideal if you live in the countryside or walk frequently on rough, uneven terrain. They are often more robust and sturdy than a regular pushchair, with special features such as large wheels that can withstand punctures to handle the most difficult of surfaces. They tend to be quite large, which means they can be tricky to manoeuvre in tight spaces or narrow aisles in shops.

All-terrain buggy seats are placed either in the direction of parents or world facing. They can grow with your child from birth to toddler. It's fitted with foam-filled 'never flat' tyres to ensure smooth rides, dual frame suspension and lavish padding inside the seat unit that offers excellent postural support and comfort. It features a recline feature and comes with a large extendable hood with integrated venting, as well as pockets for smartphones.

Another excellent choice is the brand new Out 'n' About Nipper V5, a pushchair that's all-terrain that's a true trailblazer, with an excellent suspension and air-filled tyres, which means it can be used to jog once your child is old enough. It also features an adjustable 360-degree swivel front wheel for manoeuvrability, and a one-handed fold that's super quick and simple. It is suitable from birth, and is compatible with an adaptor for UPPAbaby's infant car seat or carrycot (sold separately).

A majority of all-terrain pushchairs lack an reversible seat, however the likes of the Oyster 3 wheel stroller for newborn - Google officially announced -, Venicci Tinum and egg 2 do offer this option, and both provide a very good level of off-road performance and have a decent weight limit for a 2-year old. Many pushchairs are classified as all-rounders. This includes the iCandy Pear, Bugaboo Cameleon and a few others. They are able to manage rough terrain in parks or National Trust locations, but lack the off-road capabilities of real all-terrain strollers.

Then there are the crossover models that are a great compromise between extreme off-road and street and have great all-terrain capability with large wheels and great suspension, but they're designed in the typical pushchair style, with reversible seats and the option of a full carrycot, so they are suitable for use on a daily basis. The best models are manufactured by companies such as iCandy Easywalker and Bugaboo.

Wheels

All-terrain pushchairs are a must if you live in a rural area or take your child on regular walks on rough terrain. These models usually come with larger back wheels than standard pushchairs which makes them better in handling rough off-road terrain, and ensuring an easy ride for your child. Many also come with a sturdy suspension and puncture-proof types to ensure they're safe for use on grass, woodland or paths through the forest, gravel tracks and market town cobbles.

Some all-terrain strollers also have a lockable wheel on the front which provides extra stability while walking over rough terrain or over high kerbs. Some models have swivel front wheels that allow you to maneuver the buggy more easily when you change direction or turn corners.

All-terrain pushchairs come with air-filled tyres, which provide excellent shock absorption and are great for rough terrain, but they're more prone to punctures than solid EVA tyres found on city strollers, so it's worth buying repair kits along with a spare inner tube and pump for your pushchair. Some models come with foam tyres which are less likely to puncture, but could be more difficult to push.

The new Bugaboo Fox 5 is a good example of a pushchair with both air and foam-filled tyres, an excellent suspension system, and large rear puncture-proof wheels which are perfect for off-road or jogging use (once your child is old enough). This model is also suitable for children from birth and can be used with a carrycot or a lie-flat chair.

Another option is the iCandy Peach All-Terrain, which comes with large tyres and a single steering wheel at the front. It is not as flexible as other all-terrain strollers on this list however it can be able to handle terrain that is hilly and features a large, one-handed fold that is great for long walks in the countryside, or long trips. It is suitable for children and features a large canopy that extends, an adjustable handlebar, and a large, spacious basket.

Stores

There are excellent all-terrain pushchairs designed for parents who would like to take their child off-road, but don't want to tackle Ben Nevis. They are the best of both. Find a model with an excellent all-terrain capability, solid suspension, and large puncture-proof wheels, but built in the traditional pushchair style with reversible seats as well as all carrycot options.

The UPPAbaby's bestselling Ridge all-terrain pushchair is a good model. It comes with a fantastic suspension, a one-handed fold, and a spacious basket that can hold up to 10 kg. But it also has many features that are child-friendly, like an adjustable handlebar and an operated break that can be operated by hand on the right. The hood can be removed, and washed with cool soapy water to prevent mildew or mould.

If you're planning on taking your all-terrain pushchair off-road it's a good idea to choose air-filled tyres, rather than those with rubber grips. They will give you an easier ride on rough terrain, and make it easier to navigate in tight spaces. If you are planning to use your all-terrain pushchair for occasional jogging, make sure the front wheel can pivot or has a quick release feature so it can be locked in place for more stability.

It's important to check the pushchair fabrics can be machine washed to ensure they are in perfect condition. If not, a spot cleaning with warm soapy water and some warm water should be sufficient. Drying the fabric completely outdoors will also help to prevent mould and mildew from developing.

The majority of our three wheel pushchairs can be used from the moment of birth. It is recommended to look for models with an all-flat, fully-reclining seat with a reversible backrest. This will allow you to use the pushchair from the time your baby is born until the time your child is around three years old. Some are compatible with car seat adaptors for a family of three wheel pushchair. If you'd like to leave the car at home, there are all-terrain pushchairs with a fixed front wheel that are ideal for casual strolling or jogging for a short distance, such as the Delta Special Needs all-terrain jogger from Delichon which is available in a variety of canvas and frame sizes to suit children and adults.
