3 wheeler pushchair off road 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 excellent maneuverability is the perfect fit. These types typically have big wheels and a surprisingly strong suspension to ensure smooth rides over rough terrain and bumps.

The majority are suitable for infants and come with seats that can be set on a flat surface or a baby carrycot. They are also typically fitted with foam-filled tyres that are never flat to help with maintenance.

Suspension

A true all terrain pushchair will have good suspension which is designed to be extra smooth on rough ground and help your child to feel comfortable and relaxed. The wheels are typically large and puncture-proof, preventing injury caused by sharp rocks or sharp sticks.

Some all-terrain strollers allow you to switch between different tyres to suit the conditions. Depending on the kind of terrain you prefer to explore, some all-terrain pushchairs have a swivel front wheel which can be locked to ensure stability or unlocked for more maneuverability when needed.

Certain all-terrain strollers have a lockable brake handbrake that is more accessible using your hands. This is better than an ordinary pedal on the handlebars. This is an excellent option if you’re an avid climber.

If you don’t wish to go as far as an all-terrain pushchair, there are plenty of strollers available that offer excellent – but not perfect – off road capability with great suspension and big wheels. These are usually more affordable than full-on all-terrain buggy options and will still work well for short walks in the countryside or trips to the park.

Many of these strollers are suitable for infants with either a carrycot or a car seat that is designed for infants. Be aware that the seats will not lay flat when pushing over bumps or dips. As per EU regulations, they need to meet minimum standards of reclined angles of approximately 150 degrees. Graco has solved this issue with its new ‘comfitech seat suspension’ that lets the seat recline at a more rounded angle for more comfort. This 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.

Seat

There’s a whole range of three-wheel all terrain pushchairs available, offering a superb off-road capability. They are perfect if live in the countryside or regularly walk on uneven, rough terrain. They are more durable and durable than a standard pushchair. They come with special features, like big puncture-proof tires to withstand the most difficult surfaces. They are often quite wide and can be difficult to maneuver in tight spaces or in aisles of shops.

All-terrain buggy seat can be positioned either parent or world facing. They grow with your child from newborn to toddler. It’s outfitted with foam-filled “never flat’ tyres for an easy ride, dual frame suspension and luxurious padding in the seat that provides superb postural support and comfort. It also features a recline mechanism, as well as an expansive sun hood that extends, integrated ventilation and a pocket for your smart phone.

Another excellent choice is the new Out ‘n’ About Nipper V5, a pushchair that’s all-terrain that is a true trailblazer with an excellent suspension and tyres that are air-filled, making it suitable for jogging once your child is old enough. It features a 360-degree lockable front wheel that allows for ease of maneuverability and one-handed folding. It’s suitable for babies from birth and can be combined with an UPPAbaby car seat or infant car seat adapters (sold separately).

A majority of all-terrain pushchairs lack an reversible seat, however the models like the Oyster 3 wheel baby strollers, Venicci Tinum and egg 2 do come with this option and both offer an excellent level of off-road capability and a decent weight limit for a 2 year old. There are also many pushchairs classified as all-rounders, like the iCandy Pear and Bugaboo Cameleon that are able to cope with rough terrain at the park or National Trust places but don’t offer the off-road performance of true all-terrain pushchairs.

There are also crossover models which are a fantastic combination of extreme off-road and high-street and offer excellent all-terrain capabilities with large wheels and great suspension, but they’re built more like a standard pushchair with reversible seats and full carrycot options and can be used on a daily basis. Brands like iCandy, Easywalker and Bugaboo have produced some excellent models to take a look at.

Wheels

All-terrain pushchairs are essential if you live in the countryside or take your child for regular walks over rough terrain. These models have bigger wheels that are mounted on the back than regular pushchairs, which allows them to handle bumpy terrain better and offer a smoother ride for your child. Many also come with a sturdy suspension and puncture-proof versions which make them suitable for use on woodland, grass or trails as well as gravel tracks and town cobbles.

Certain all-terrain pushchairs have front wheels that lock, which provides additional stability when walking on rough terrain and over high kerbs. Some models have swivel wheels at the front, which allow you to move the buggy more easily in case you want to change direction or turn corners.

All-terrain strollers have air-filled tyres that are great for dealing with rough terrain. However they are more susceptible to punctures than the solid EVA tyres that are found on light city strollers. It’s worth buying a repair kit and spare inner tube with your pushchair. Certain all-terrain models come with foam tyres, which are less susceptible to punctures, but aren’t as effective at taking in shock and could be more difficult to push than tyres filled with air.

The new Bugaboo Fox 5 pushchair is an excellent model of a 3 wheeler stroller that includes both foam and air filled tyres. It also has a great suspension and large rear wheels that are puncture-proof and suitable for off-road use or running (once your child reaches the appropriate age). This model can be used even from birth with a carrycot as well as an incline-flat chair.

The iCandy Peach All-Terrain is another alternative. It has big tyres, a single steering-wheel at the front, and huge tyres. It is not as flexible as other all-terrain strollers on this list, but 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’s suitable for children and comes with a large, extendable canopy with an adjustable handlebar and a generously sized basket.

Stores

Parents who would like to take their child off-road, but don’t want to commit to climbing Ben Nevis, there are top all-terrain pushchairs that offer the best of both worlds. Choose one that has all-terrain capabilities, sturdy suspension and large puncture-proof wheels, but is constructed in a classic pushchair style with reversible seating as well as full carrycot options.

UPPAbaby’s well-known Ridge all-terrain pushchair is a great example of this; it provides excellent suspension, a simple one-handed fold, and a large 10kg basket. It also has features that are suitable for parents, such as an adjustable handlebar, a hand-operated brake on the right side and a large, covered storage space. A hood that can be removed and brushed down with cool soapy water is a helpful feature that can keep mildew and mould from growing.

If you plan to use your all-terrain stroller off the road and on the road, you should consider air-filled tires instead of rubber grips. They will give you an easier ride on rough terrain, and make it easier to navigate through tight spaces. If you are planning to use your all-terrain pushchair to do occasional jogging, ensure that the front wheel is able to swivel or has a quick release feature to lock it in place to give you more stability.

To keep the fabrics in perfect condition, it’s important to make sure they can be machine-washed. If not, a spot cleaning with warm water and a little of gentle soap should suffice. Drying the fabric completely outdoors can also prevent mould and mildew from developing.

The majority of our three wheel pushchairs are suitable for use from the time of birth. Look for models with an all-flat seat that is fully lie-flat and a reversible rearrest that will allow you to use it from the time of birth right up until your child is about three years old. If you’re planning to travel as a family of three, many are compatible with car seats thanks to the built-in adaptors. If you’d like to leave the car at home, there are all-terrain pushchairs that have fixed front wheels that are ideal for casual strolls or light jogging, such as the Delta Special Needs all-terrain jogger from Delichon which comes in a variety of sizes for canvas and frames that can be used by adults and children.
