3 Wheel All Terrain Pushchair

A pushchair that is all-terrain with excellent maneuverability will suit you whether you are seeking a stroller for walking in the woods or for a stroll on the main street. These models typically come with large wheels and suspension systems that provide an easy ride on rough terrain.

The majority are suitable for babies and come with a lie-flat baby seat or a newborn carrycot. These vehicles also have tyres that never flatten, which are typically comprised from foam.

Suspension

A truly all-terrain pushchair will have good suspension which is specifically designed to be smooth on rough ground, helping your little one to be comfortable and calm. The wheels are typically large and puncture-proof to protect against injuries caused by sharp rocks or sharp sticks.

Some all-terrain strollers even allow you to switch between different tyres to suit the conditions. Based on the type of terrain you want to explore Certain all-terrain pushchairs feature a swivel front wheel which can be locked for stability or unlocked for more maneuverability when needed.

For additional security, some all-terrain pushchairs will feature a locking handbrake that is easier to reach and utilize with your hands than with the traditional brake pedal that is located on the handlebars’ side. This is a fantastic feature if you are inclined to climb steep hills.

There are many strollers that offer decent off-road capability, but not the ultimate. They also have large wheels and great suspension.

Many of these pushchairs can be used for babies from birth, whether with an infant carrycot or a baby-ready car seat. Be aware that the seats will not be able to lie flat when you push over bumps or dips. According to EU regulations, they only must meet minimum standards of reclined angles of approximately 150 degrees. Graco has solved this issue by introducing a new ‘comfitech in-seat suspension’ that lets the seat recline at a more rounded angle to provide a little more comfort. This feature is available on the Lila XP all-terrain pushchair which can be used with a compatible Graco infant car seat to create a 3 wheeled buggy in 1 travel system.
