3 Wheel All Terrain PushchairWhether you're looking for a buggy to take on walks in the woods or strolls on the main streets, an all terrain pushchair with excellent manoeuvrability will be a great choice. These models usually have large wheels and a surprisingly strong suspension for smooth rides over rough terrain and bumps.
Most are suitable for newborns and include a seat that can be placed flat or a newborn carrycot. They are also typically fitted with foam-filled never-flat tyres to reduce maintenance.
Suspension
A true all-terrain pushchair will have a sturdy suspension that is designed to be extra smooth and comfortable on rough terrain. This will make your child feel relaxed and comfortable. The wheels should also be large and usually have a puncture-proof design to protect against damage caused by sharp rocks or sticks.
The larger tyres will allow you to tackle more challenging terrains with ease Some all-terrain pushchairs even offering additional tyres that can be switched between for different conditions. Based on the type of terrain you want to explore Some all-terrain pushchairs come with an swivel front wheel that can be locked to ensure stability, or unlocked to allow for more maneuverability when needed.
Some all-terrain strollers come with a brake handbrake lockable that is easy to reach by hand. This is more convenient than the traditional pedal that is located on the handlebars. This is a great feature for those who are a fan of steep hills.
There are many strollers with excellent off-road capabilities but aren't the most powerful. They also have big wheels and great suspension. These are often a bit more affordable than the more expensive full-on all terrain buggy options, and will still be perfect for trips to the park with the dog or for short walks in the country.
A lot of these pushchairs are suitable for babies from birth, whether with the carrycot or a newborn-ready car seat. However, be aware that when pushing over bumps and dips the seats will not lie completely flat - as per EU regulations, they are required to meet the minimum requirements for recline of around 150deg. Graco has gotten around this issue with its 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 combined with the Graco Infant Car Seat to create a three-in-one travel system.

Wheels
If you live in a rural area or frequently take your child for walks over rough terrain an all-terrain pushchair becomes essential.

However they are more susceptible to punctures to punctures than the EVA tyres that are found on light city strollers. It's therefore worth purchasing a repair kit as well as an spare inner tube with your pushchair. Some all-terrain models have foam tyres that are less prone to punctures but they're not as effective in absorption of shock and can be harder to push than tyres filled with air.
The brand new Bugaboo Fox 5
pushchair 3 wheels is an excellent example of a stroller that features both air and foam filled tyres. It also comes with an excellent suspension and large rear wheels that are puncture proof and suitable for off-road usage or running (once your child reaches the appropriate age).

The UPPAbaby's bestselling Ridge all terrain pushchair is a good illustration. It has a great suspension, a one-handed fold, and a generous basket that can support up to 10kg. But it also has numerous features that are suitable for parents, such as an adjustable handlebar as well as a hand-operated break on the right. The hood can be taken off and washed with cool soapy water to prevent mildew or mould.
If you plan to use your all-terrain stroller off the road, opt for air-filled tires instead of rubber grips. These will provide a smoother ride over rough terrain and make it easier to navigate through tight spaces. If you plan to use your all-terrain pushchair to do occasional jogging, ensure that the front wheel is able to swivel or features a quick release mechanism to ensure it is locked in place to give you greater stability.
It's important to check the pushchair fabrics can be machine washed to maintain them in pristine condition. If not, a spot cleaning with warm water and a bit of gentle soap should suffice. The fabric can be dried completely outside to avoid mildew or mould.
The majority of our three wheeled all terrain pushchairs can be used from birth. Choose models that have a fully lie-flat seat and a reversible backrest to allow you to use it from birth right up until your child is three years old.
