3 Wheel All Terrain Pushchair

A pushchair that is all-terrain and has excellent maneuverability will suit you whether you are seeking a stroller for walking in the woods or for taking a stroll along the main street. These types typically have big wheels and have a powerful suspension for smooth riding over rough terrain and bumps.

The majority are suitable for infants and come with seats that can be placed flat or a newborn carrycot. They also have foam-filled tyres that are never flat to help with maintenance.

Suspension

A true all-terrain pushchair should have an excellent suspension that has been designed to be extra smooth and comfortable on rough terrain. This will help your child to feel comfortable and comfortable. The wheels will also be large and typically be a puncture-proof type to protect against damage caused by sharp sticks or rocks.

The larger tyres can allow you to tackle more challenging terrains with ease, with some all-terrain pushchairs even offering the option of different tyres you can switch between for different conditions. Depending on what kind of terrain you prefer to explore Certain all-terrain pushchairs feature an swivel front wheel that can be locked to ensure stability or unlocked for more maneuverability when required.

A few all-terrain strollers include a lockable brake handbrake that is easier to reach by hand. This is superior to the traditional pedal that is located on the handlebars. This is an excellent feature if you are an avid climber.

If you don't wish to go as far as an all-terrain pushchair there are plenty of strollers that have very good - but not perfect - off-road capability, with excellent suspension and big wheels. They are generally more affordable than full-on all-terrain buggy models and can be suitable for short country walks or trips to the park.

A lot of strollers are suitable for infants and come with an infant carrycot or a car seat that is suitable for newborns. Be aware that these seats won't lie flat when pushing over bumps or dips. According to EU regulations, they must meet minimum standards of a reclining angle of around 150deg. Graco has overcome this problem by introducing a new 'comfitech in-seat suspension' which allows the seat recline at a more rounded angle for a bit more comfort. This feature is available on the Lila XP All-Terrain Pushchair, that can be used in conjunction with a compatible Graco Infant Car Seat to create a three-in-one travel system.

Wheels
