3 wheel running buggy wheel All terrain pushchair (www.Google.Pt)

A pushchair that is all-terrain and offers great maneuverability will be perfect whether you are looking for a buggy for nature walks or an excursion on the high street. These models are usually equipped with large wheels and suspension that gives an easy ride on rough terrain.

The majority of them are suitable from birth and come with a lie-flat seat or a baby carrycot. These vehicles also have tyres that do not flatten, usually comprised of foam.

Suspension

A genuine all-terrain pushchair has a great suspension which is specifically designed to be smooth on uneven ground, helping your little one to feel comfortable and at ease. The wheels should also be large and will usually have a puncture-proof design to protect against damage caused by sharp rocks or sticks.

The larger tyres will enable you navigate more difficult terrains with ease, with some all-terrain pushchairs even offering additional tyres that can be switched between to suit different conditions. Certain all-terrain strollers come with an swivel wheel which can be locked to offer stability or unlocked to allow for greater maneuverability.

Certain all-terrain strollers have an adjustable brake handbrake that locks and is easier to reach by hand. This is more convenient than the traditional pedal that is located on the handlebars. This is a great feature to have in case you prefer to climb up the steep slopes, especially with a child in the seat and lots of shopping bags stashed under!

If you don't want to go quite as extreme as an all-terrain pushchair there are many 3 wheeler strollers on the market which have very good - but not perfect - off-road capabilities, and have great suspension and big wheels. These are usually cheaper than full-on all-terrain buggy options and will still work well for short country walks or trips to the park.

Many of these strollers are suitable for babies with either an infant carrycot or a car seat that is designed for infants. Be aware that when it comes to pushing over bumps and dips the seats aren't completely flat. As per EU regulations they only have to meet the minimum requirements for reclining position of about 150deg. Certain brands, like Graco, have overcome this problem with their new "comfitech" in-seat suspension that 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 paired with the Graco Infant Car Seat to create a three wheeler pushchair-in-one travel system.

Seat

There are a wide range of all-terrain pushchairs with three wheels available, which offer a superb off-road capability. They are great for those who reside in the countryside or frequently take a walk on uneven, rough ground. They are more durable and durable than a regular pushchair. They are equipped with unique features, like big puncture-proof tires to handle the most challenging surfaces. They are often quite large and may be difficult to maneuver in tight spaces or in the aisles of shops.

The seat of an all-terrain buggy can either be world or parent facing and will grow with your child, from newborn to toddler (it's suitable for children as young as 6 months). It's fitted with foam-filled 'never flat' tyres that provide an easy ride with dual frame suspension as well as luxurious padding in the seat, which provides superb postural support and comfort. It features a recline feature and comes with a large extendable hood with integrated venting, as well as an area for a smartphone.

Another option that is a great choice is the new Out 'n' About Nipper V5, an all-terrain pushchair that's a trailblazer with an excellent suspension and air-filled tyres, so it can be used to jog once your child is old enough. It also comes with the ability to lock the front 360 swivel wheel for manoeuvrability, and an easy fold that's easy and quick. It's suitable for babies from birth and can be paired with an UPPAbaby car seat or infant car seat adaptors (sold separately).

A majority of all-terrain pushchairs lack an reversible seat, however the models like the Oyster 3 wheeled travel system, Venicci Tinum and egg 2 do offer this option, and both provide a very good level of off-road performance, and also have an acceptable 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 have quite the off-road capability of all-terrain pushchairs.

There are also crossover models that are a great alternative to extreme off-road and street and offer excellent all-terrain capabilities with large wheels and great suspension but they're designed more like a standard pushchair with reversible seats as well as the option of a full carrycot, so they can be used on a daily basis. Brands like iCandy, Easywalker and Bugaboo have created some great ones to look at.

Wheels

All-terrain pushchairs are essential when you live in the countryside or take your child on regular walks over rough terrain. These models have bigger wheels that are mounted on the back than traditional pushchairs, which enables them to deal with bumpy terrain better and offer a smoother ride for your child. Many models also have sturdy suspension and puncture-proof. They can be used on grass, woodland paths or forest paths, gravel roads and market town cobbles.

Certain all-terrain pushchairs have a lockable front wheel which gives extra stability when walking over rough terrain and on high kerbs. Some have swivel wheels on the front which allows you to move the buggy with ease if you want to change direction or turn corners.

Most all-terrain pushchairs have air-filled tyres that provide excellent shock absorption and are perfect for rough terrain, however they're more susceptible to punctures than the solid EVA tyres found on lightweight city strollers therefore it's a good idea to invest in an repair kit along with a spare inner tube and pump for your pushchair. Some all-terrain models have foam tyres which are less prone to punctures, but aren't as effective in absorbing shock and may be more difficult to push than air-filled tyres.

The brand new Bugaboo Fox 5 is a excellent example of a pushchair with both foam-filled and air-filled tyres. It also has with a fantastic suspension system and large wheels that are puncture-proof at the rear. They are ideal for off-road and jogging use (once your child is old enough). It can be used even from birth with a carrycot and a lie-flat chair.

Another alternative is the iCandy Peach All-Terrain, which features large tyres as well as only a single steering wheel in the front. It's not as flexible like the other pushchairs with all-terrain capabilities on this list but it does cope well with the terrain that is hilly and has an expansive one-handed fold, which is perfect if you're planning to use the pushchair for long walks or excursions into the countryside. It's also suitable from birth and comes with a large sun canopy that extends and a host of great features for parents, like a simple brake pedal and a movable handlebar, as well as a large sized basket.

Storage

Parents who would like to take their little one off-road, but don't want to commit to tackling Ben Nevis, there are excellent all terrain pushchairs that provide the best of both worlds. Choose a model that has good all-terrain capability, sturdy suspension, and large puncture-proof wheels. However, they are designed in a more traditional pushchair design, with reversible seats and full carrycot options.

UPPAbaby’s popular Ridge all-terrain pushchair is a good model. It has a great suspension as well as a one-handed fold and a large basket that can hold up to 10kg. However, it also has many parent-friendly features, including an adjustable handlebar and an operated break that can be operated by hand on the right. A hood that can be removed and brushed down with cool soapy water is a handy feature that will help prevent mildew and mould from forming.

If you are planning to take your all-terrain stroller off-road, opt for air-filled tires rather than rubber grips. They will give you a smoother ride over rough terrain and will make it easier to navigate through tight spaces. If you intend to use your all-terrain pushchair for occasional jogging, be sure the front wheel is able to swivel or features a quick release mechanism to ensure it is locked in place to provide greater stability.

To ensure that the fabric is in perfect condition, it's important to make sure they can be washed by a machine. If not, a spot wash with soapy water, warm, and some warm water should be sufficient. The fabric can be dried thoroughly outside to prevent mold or mildew.

The majority of our 3 wheel pushchairs can be used from birth. Choose models that have a fully lie-flat chair and a reversible rearrest that will allow you to use it from newborn all the way to when your child is about three years old. If you plan to travel with your family of three, there are plenty of models that are compatible with car seats due to the built-in adaptors. You can leave your car at home and use all-terrain strollers that have fixed wheels for casual jogging or light strolling. One such example is the Delta Special Needs All-Terrain Jogger from Delichon available in a variety of sizes for the frame and canvas that can be used by children and adults.
