3 Wheel All Terrain PushchairA pushchair that is all-terrain with great maneuverability will be perfect whether you're looking for a buggy for walking in the woods or for a stroll on the high streets. These types of models are typically equipped with large wheels and a suspension system that provides a smooth ride on bumpy terrain.
Many are suitable for babies and include seats that can be placed flat or a newborn carrycot. These vehicles also have tyres that never flatten, which are typically composed of foam.
Suspension
A true all-terrain pushchair has an excellent suspension that has been designed to be smooth and comfortable on rough terrain. This will make your child feel more relaxed and comfortable. The wheels are typically large and puncture-proof to protect against damage from sharp rocks or sharp sticks.
Some all-terrain strollers even allow you to switch between tyres with different conditions. Certain all-terrain strollers feature a swivel wheel that can be locked to give stability or unlocked to allow for greater maneuverability.
To give you added security, some all-terrain
3 wheeler pushchairs will include a lockable handbrake which is more accessible to use with your hands free than with a traditional brake pedal on the handlebars' sides. This is an excellent feature for those who are an avid climber.
There are many strollers that have decent off-road capability, but not the ultimate. They also have large wheels and excellent suspension. They are generally 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 can be used from birth, either with the carrycot or a newborn-ready car seat. Be aware, however, that when it comes to pushing over bumps and dips the seats won't lie completely flat. According to EU regulations, they have to meet minimum standards for a recline of around 150 degrees. Certain brands, like Graco have gotten around this with their new "comfitech" in-seat suspension that allows the seat to recline at a flatter angle for a bit more comfort. This feature is available on the Lila XP All-Terrain Pushchair, which can be paired with an appropriate Graco Infant Car Seat to create a three-in-one travel system.
