3 Wheel All Terrain Pushchair: The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly

3 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 an excursion on the main street. These models typically have large wheels and offer impressive suspension to ensure smooth riding over bumps and rough ground.

Many are suitable for babies and come with a seat that can be positioned on a flat surface or a baby carrycot. These vehicles also come with tyres which never flatten, and are usually comprised of foam.

Suspension

A genuine all-terrain pushchair will have a good suspension that is designed to be extremely smooth on rough ground and help your child to be comfortable and calm. The wheels are usually large and puncture-proof to prevent injuries from sharp rocks or sharp sticks.

Some all-terrain strollers also provide the option of switching between additional tyres for different conditions. Based on the type of terrain you like to explore, some all-terrain pushchairs have an adjustable front wheel that can be locked to ensure stability or left unlocked for greater maneuverability when required.

A few all-terrain strollers include a brake handbrake lockable that is more accessible with your free hand. This is more convenient than the traditional pedal that is located on the handlebars. This is an excellent feature for those who are an avid climber.

There are many strollers with good off-road capability, but not the ultimate. They also have large wheels and a great suspension. These are typically less expensive than the more expensive full-on all-terrain buggy models, and will still be perfectly suitable for trips to the park with your dog or for short walks in the country.

Many of these pushchairs can be used for babies from birth, whether with an infant carrycot or a baby-ready car seat. Be aware that when pushing over bumps and dips, the seats will not lie completely flat. According to EU regulations, they have to meet the minimum requirements for reclined position of around 150deg. Graco has overcome this problem with its new 'comfitech in-seat suspension' which allows the seat to recline to a more comfortable angle to provide a little more comfort. This feature is available on the Lila XP all-terrain pushchair which can be used with an appropriate Graco infant car seat to create a 3- in one travel system.

Wheels

All-terrain strollers have air-filled tyres that are great for dealing with rough terrain. However, they are more prone than the solid EVA tyres found on lightweight city strollers. It is therefore recommended to purchase an repair kit and spare inner tube with your pushchair. Certain all-terrain models come with foam tyres, which are less prone to punctures, but aren't as effective in absorbing shock and may be more difficult to push than tyres with air filled.

It also has an excellent suspension system, and large rear puncture-proof wheels that are ideal for off-road and running (once your child is old enough).

It provides excellent suspension, a simple one-handed fold, and a large 10kg basket but also has features that are suitable for parents, such as an adjustable handlebar, hand-operated brake on the right-hand side and a huge covered storage space. A hood that can be removed and cleaned with cool soapy water is a useful feature that can help to stop mould and mildew from growing.

If you are planning to take your all-terrain stroller off road and on the road, you should consider air-filled tires rather than rubber grips. These will provide an easier ride on rough terrain and will make it easier to maneuver in tight spaces. If you are planning to use your all-terrain pushchair for occasional jogging make sure that the front wheel can be rotated or has a quick-release feature so it can lock in place for greater stability.

To keep the fabrics in pristine condition, it's important to ensure that they are washed by a machine. If not, a spot clean with warm water and a small amount of soap gentle enough should be sufficient. The fabric can be dried thoroughly outside to avoid mildew or mould.

The majority of our 3 wheel pushchairs are suitable for use from birth. It is recommended to look for models that have a fully lying-flat seat with a reversible backrest. This allows you to use the pushchair from the moment your baby is born until your child reaches around three years of age.
