3 Wheel All Terrain Pushchair

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

Most are suitable for newborns and come with a seat that can be positioned flat or a newborn carrycot. They also usually have foam-filled tyres that are never flat to help with maintenance.

Suspension

A genuine all-terrain pushchair will have good suspension, designed to be extremely smooth on rough ground which allows your child to be comfortable and calm. The wheels should also be large and typically have a puncture-proof design to protect against damage caused by sharp sticks or rocks.

Some all-terrain strollers also provide the option of switching between tyres with different conditions. Some all-terrain strollers have an swivel wheel which can be locked to provide stability or unlocked to permit greater maneuverability.

Some all-terrain strollers come with a brake handbrake lockable that is easier to reach using your hands. This is superior to the traditional pedal that is located on the handlebars. This is a great feature to have if you want to tackle the steep slopes, especially with children in the seat and lots of shopping bags stashed beneath!

If you don’t want go as extreme as an all-terrain pushchair there are plenty of strollers available that are very well-built, but not the ultimate off-road capabilities, and have great suspension and large wheels. These are often a bit cheaper than the more expensive all-terrain pushchairs but are perfect for trips to the park with your dog or short walks around the countryside.

Many of these strollers are suitable for newborns and come with a carrycot or car seat that is ready for newborns. Be aware that these seats won’t lay flat when pushing over bumps or dips. According to EU regulations, they must meet minimum standards of an incline of about 150 degrees. Graco has solved this issue with its new ‘comfitech in-seat suspension’ that lets the seat recline to a more comfortable angle to provide a little more comfort. This feature is available on the Lila XP All-Terrain Pushchair, which can be combined with a compatible Graco Infant Car Seat to create a 3 wheeled strollers-in-1 travel system.

Seat

There’s a wide selection of 3 wheel stroller-wheel all terrain pushchairs to pick from that offer excellent off-road performance. These are perfect if you live on the countryside or walk frequently on rough, uneven terrain. These are more robust and durable than a standard pushchair. They have special features such as large puncture-proof tires that can handle the most difficult surfaces. They are often quite wide and can be difficult to maneuver through narrow spaces or in the aisles of shops.

A majority of all-terrain pushchairs lack an reversible seat, however the models like the Oyster 3 wheeled pushchair, Venicci Tinum and egg 2 do offer this option and both offer a very good level of off-road capability and an adequate weight limit for a 2 year old. A lot of pushchairs are categorized as all-rounders. These include the iCandy Pear, Bugaboo Cameleon and others. They are able to manage rough terrain in parks and National Trust locations, but lack the off-road capabilities of genuine all-terrain strollers.

There are also crossover models that are a great compromise between extreme off-road and street and are able to handle all terrains with large wheels and great suspension, but they’re designed like a standard pushchair with reversible seats and full carrycot options which means they can be used everyday. The best 3 wheeler strollers wheel buggy (link web site) models are manufactured by companies like iCandy Easywalker and Bugaboo.

Wheels

All-terrain pushchairs are essential when you live in the countryside or take your child for regular walks through rough terrain. These models have larger wheels that are mounted on the back than regular pushchairs, which allows them to handle bumpy terrain better and offer an easier ride for your child. They also have sturdy suspension and puncture-proof types which make them suitable for use on woodland, grass or forest paths, gravel tracks and market town cobbles.

Certain all-terrain strollers come with a lockable wheel at the front that provides stability when walking over rough terrain or on high kerbs. Some have swivel wheels on the front that let you maneuver the buggy more easily when you change direction or turn corners.

Most all-terrain pushchairs have air-filled tyres that provide excellent shock absorption and are great for rough terrain, but they’re more prone to punctures than the solid EVA tyres used on city strollers, so it’s worth buying repair kits, spare inner tube and pump to go with your pushchair. Certain models have foam tyres which are less likely to puncture but might be more difficult to push.

The new Bugaboo Fox 5 is a excellent example of a pushchair with both foam-filled and air-filled tyres, an excellent suspension system, and large rear puncture-proof wheels that are perfect for off-road or running (once your child is old enough). It is also suitable for babies and can be used with a carrycot or a lay-flat seat.

Another alternative is the iCandy Peach All-Terrain, which has large tyres and has one steering wheel at the front. It’s not as flexible as the other pushchairs with all-terrain capabilities on this list, but it does cope well with hilly terrain and has an expansive one-handed fold that is perfect if you’re planning to use the pushchair for long walks or excursions into the countryside. It is also suitable for infants and features a large canopy that extends and a movable handlebar and a large, spacious basket.

Storage

For parents that would like to take their child off-road but don’t necessarily fancy taking on Ben Nevis, there are some excellent all terrain pushchairs that offer the best of both worlds. Find a model with good all-terrain capability, sturdy suspension, and large puncture-proof wheels but designed in a more traditional pushchair design with reversible seats and full carrycot options.

The UPPAbaby’s bestselling Ridge all terrain pushchair is a great example. It comes with a fantastic suspension as well as a one-handed fold and a spacious basket that can support up to 10kg. It also comes with many parent-friendly features, including an adjustable handlebar and a hand-operated break on the right. The hood can be removed, and washed with cool soapy water to prevent mildew or mould.

If you intend to take your all-terrain stroller off road, opt for air-filled tires instead of rubber grips. They’ll provide a more comfortable ride on uneven ground and be easier to manoeuvre in tight spaces. If you plan to use your all terrain pushchair for jogging, make sure that the front wheel is swivelable or has a quick release feature to lock it into place for more stability.

It is essential to determine if the pushchair fabrics can be machine washed to maintain them in perfect condition. If not, a spot clean with warm water and a bit of gentle soap should suffice. The fabric can be dried completely outside to avoid mildew or mould.

The majority of our three wheel all terrain pushchairs are suitable for use from the moment of birth. Choose models that have a fully lie-flat seat and reversible backrest that will allow you to use it from newborn right up until your child is around three years old. Many of them are compatible with car seat adapters for a family of three. You can leave your car at home and utilize all-terrain strollers that have fixed wheels for jogging, light or casual strolling. One such example is the Delta Special Needs All-Terrain Jogger from Delichon, which comes in various frame and canvas sizes that are suitable for children as well as adults.
