3 Wheel All Terrain Pushchair

If you're seeking a stroller for woodland walks or strolls on the main streets, an all-terrain pushchair with excellent manoeuvrability will be the perfect choice. These models typically have large wheels and have a powerful suspension for smooth riding over rough terrain and bumps.

The majority are suitable for babies and come with a lie-flat baby seat or a newborn carrycot. They are also typically fitted with foam-filled, never-flat tyres for reducing maintenance.

Suspension

A genuine all-terrain pushchair will have good suspension that is designed to be extra smooth on rough ground, helping your little one to be comfortable and calm. The wheels are usually big and puncture-proof, preventing damage from sharp sticks or rocks.

The larger tyres will also enable you navigate more difficult terrain with ease, with some all-terrain pushchairs even offering different tyres you can switch between to suit different conditions. Some all-terrain strollers have an swivel wheel which can be locked to offer stability, or left unlocked to allow for greater manoeuvrability.

For added security Certain all-terrain pushchairs include a lockable handbrake which is easier to reach and use with your hands free instead of an ordinary brake pedal located on the side of the handlebars. This is a fantastic feature for those who are an avid climber.

If you don't want to go as far as an all-terrain pushchair there are many strollers available that are very well-built, but not ultimate - off-road capabilities, and have great suspension and large wheels. They are generally more affordable than full-on all-terrain buggy models and can be suitable for short walks in the countryside or trips to the park.

Many of these strollers are suitable for newborns and come with a carrycot or car seat that is ready for infants. However, be aware that when pushing over bumps and dips the seats aren't completely flat. According to EU regulations, they are required to meet the minimum requirements for recline of around 150deg. Graco has solved this issue by introducing a new 'comfitech in-seat suspension' which allows the seat recline at a flatter angle for a bit more comfort. This is available on the Lila XP all-terrain pushchair which can be used in conjunction with a compatible Graco infant car seat to create a 3 wheel pushchair travel system in one travel system.

Wheels

Most all-terrain pushchairs have air-filled tyres that provide excellent shock absorption and are perfect for tackling rough ground but they're more prone to punctures than the solid EVA tyres used on city strollers that are light, so it's worth buying an repair kit along with a spare inner tube and pump alongside 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 great example of a child's pushchair that has both air and foam-filled tyres, a great suspension system and large rear puncture-proof wheels that are ideal for off-road and jogging use (once your child is old enough).
