7 Small Changes You Can Make That’ll Make An Enormous Difference To Your 3 Wheel All Terrain Pushchair

3 wheel pushchair with car seat Wheel All Terrain Pushchair

A pushchair that is all-terrain with great maneuverability will be perfect whether you’re searching for a buggy for walking in the woods or for taking a stroll along the high streets. These models typically come with large wheels and suspension that gives an easy ride on rough terrain.

Most are suitable from birth and include a lie-flat seat or a newborn carrycot. These vehicles also have tyres that never flatten, usually made from foam.

Suspension

A true all-terrain pushchair will have an excellent suspension that has been specifically designed to be ultra smooth and comfortable on rough terrain. This will help your child feel relaxed and at ease. The wheels are usually big and puncture-proof to prevent injury from sharp rocks or sharp sticks.

Some all-terrain strollers even provide the option of switching between additional tyres for different conditions. Certain all-terrain strollers come with an swivel wheel that can be locked to give stability, or left unlocked to allow for greater maneuverability.

Some all-terrain strollers come with an adjustable brake handbrake that locks and is easy to reach by hand. This is better than a traditional pedal on the handlebars. This is a great feature if you are an avid climber.

If you don’t want to go as far as an all-terrain pushchair there are plenty of strollers that offer excellent – but not perfect – off-road capability, with excellent suspension and large wheels. These are usually cheaper than full-on all-terrain buggy models and can work well for short strolls in the countryside or trips to the park.

Many of these strollers are suitable for babies and come with a carrycot or car seat that is suitable for newborns. Be aware that the seats do not be able to lie flat when you push over bumps or dips. As per EU regulations, they only need to meet minimum standards of reclined angles of approximately 150deg. Certain brands, like Graco, have overcome this problem with their new ‘comfitech’ in-seat suspension which allows the seat to recline at a slightly flatter angle for a little more comfort. This feature is available on the Lila XP all-terrain pushchair which can be used with an compatible Graco infant car seat to create a 3 wheel pushchair with car seat– in 1 travel system.

Seat

There is a variety of all-terrain pushchairs with three wheels available that offer an excellent off-road capability. These are ideal for those who live in the countryside or regularly take a walk on uneven, rough terrain. They are more durable and durable than a regular pushchair. They are equipped with unique features such as large puncture-proof tires to handle the most challenging surfaces. They tend to be quite wide and can be difficult to maneuver in narrow spaces or in aisles of shops.

The seat of an all-terrain buggy may be a parent or world facing and will grow with your child from infant to toddler (it’s suitable from 6 months). It’s equipped with foam-filled ‘never flat’ tyres to ensure an easy ride, dual frame suspension and luxurious padding in the seat, which provides superb postural support and comfort. It has a reclining feature, as well as an extended hood that is large and integrated venting as well as an area for a smartphone.

The brand new Out ‘n’ About Nipper V5 is another great option. It’s an all-terrain stroller that is an inspiration. It comes with great suspension and air-filled tyres, so it can be used to run once your child reaches the appropriate age. It features a 360-degree lockable front 3 wheel stroller lightweight that provides effortless maneuverability as well as a swift one-handed folding. It’s suitable for babies from birth and can be combined with an UPPAbaby car seat or infant car seat adaptors (sold separately).

A lot of all-terrain pushchairs do not have an reversible seat, however the models like the Oyster 3 wheel stroller with infant car seat, Venicci Tinum and egg 2 do have this option and both offer a very good level of off-road capability and an acceptable weight limit for a 2-year old. There are also many pushchairs that are classified as all-rounders, like the iCandy Pear and Bugaboo Cameleon that are able to cope with the rough terrain found in park or National Trust places but don’t offer the off-road performance of all-terrain pushchairs.

There are also crossover models that are an excellent compromise between off road and high street. They come with big wheels, excellent suspension, and are designed in a pushchair design, and include reversible seating and carrycot options. Brands like iCandy, Easywalker and Bugaboo have created some great ones to look at.

Wheels

All-terrain pushchairs are a must if you live in a rural area or take your child for regular walks through rough terrain. These pushchairs typically have larger back wheels than standard pushchairs which makes them better at handling bumpy, off-road terrain and providing the most comfortable ride for your child. Many also come with a sturdy suspension and puncture-proof versions to ensure they’re safe for use on grass, woodland or paths through the forest, gravel tracks and market town cobbles.

Certain all-terrain strollers have a lockable wheel on the front which provides extra stability when walking on rough terrain or high kerbs. Some models have swivel front wheels that allow you to maneuver the buggy more easily when you change direction or turn corners.

Most all-terrain pushchairs feature air-filled tyres that provide excellent shock absorption and are great for rough terrain but they’re more prone to punctures than the EVA tyres that are used on city strollers, therefore it’s a good idea to invest in an repair kit, spare inner tube and pump to go with your pushchair. Certain models come with foam tyres which are less likely to puncture but may be harder to push.

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

Another alternative is the iCandy Peach All-Terrain, which has large tyres and has a single steering wheel at the front. It is not as flexible as the other strollers with all-terrain wheels on this list, but it can manage hilly terrain and features a large one-hand fold that is ideal for long walks in the countryside, or long journeys. It’s also suitable for babies and comes with a large sun canopy that extends as well as a number of fantastic features for parents like a simple brake pedal and a movable handlebar, as well as a large sized basket.

Stores

There are excellent all-terrain pushchairs designed for parents who would like to take their child off-road but don’t want to tackle Ben Nevis. They are the best of both. Look for a model with good all-terrain capability, sturdy suspension, and large puncture-proof wheels but designed in the traditional pushchair style, with reversible seats and full carrycot options.

The UPPAbaby’s bestselling Ridge all-terrain pushchair is an excellent example of this; it offers excellent suspension, a simple one-handed fold and a huge 10kg basket, but it also comes with features for parents that are child-friendly, like an adjustable handlebar, hand-operated brake on the right-hand side and a huge covered storage space. The hood can be removed, and washed using cool soapy-water to keep out mould and mildew.

If you’re going to be using your all-terrain pushchair off-road it’s best to opt for air-filled tyres, rather than those with grips made of rubber. They will give you a smoother ride over rough terrain and make it easier to navigate through tight spaces. If you intend to use your all-terrain stroller for occasional jogging, make sure the front wheel can pivot or features a quick release mechanism to lock it in place to provide more stability.

To ensure that the fabric is in pristine condition, ensure that they can be washed by a machine. If not, a spot clean with warm water and a small amount of mild soap will suffice. The fabric can be dried completely outside to avoid mould or mildew.

The majority of our 3 wheel parent facing pushchair wheeled all terrain pushchairs are able to be used from the time of birth. It is recommended to look for models that have a fully lying-flat seat with an adjustable backrest. This allows you to use the pushchair from birth until your child is around three years of age. If you’re planning to travel with your family of three, there are plenty of models that are compatible with car seats thanks to built-in adaptors.
