7 Simple Changes That Will Make A Big Difference With Your 3 Wheel All Terrain Pushchair

3 Wheel All Terrain Pushchair

If you're seeking a stroller to tackle walking in the woods or a stroll along the high-street, an all-terrain pushchair with a great maneuverability will be the perfect choice. These models typically come with large wheels and a suspension system that provides smooth riding on bumpy terrain.

The majority are suitable for infants and come with a seat that can be set flat or a newborn carrycot. They also usually have foam-filled, never-flat tyres for reducing maintenance.

Suspension

A genuine all-terrain pushchair will have a good suspension, designed to be extra smooth on rough ground which allows your child to feel comfortable and at ease. The wheels are typically large and puncture-proof, preventing damage from sharp rocks or sharp sticks.

Some all-terrain strollers also offer the option to switch between different tyres to suit the conditions. Certain all-terrain strollers come with an swivel wheel which can be locked to provide stability, or left unlocked to permit greater manoeuvrability.

For additional security, some all-terrain pushchairs will feature a locking handbrake that is much easier to reach and use with your free hand rather than using a traditional brake pedal on the side of the handlebars. This is a fantastic feature for those who are inclined to climb steep hills.

There are many strollers that offer decent off-road capability, but not the ultimate. They also have big wheels and great suspension. They are generally more affordable than full-on all-terrain buggy models and can work well for short walks in the countryside or trips to the park.

A lot of strollers are suitable for babies with either an infant carrycot or a car seat that is suitable for infants. Be aware that these seats won't be able to lie flat when you push over bumps or dips. As per 3 wheel pushchair , they only must meet minimum standards of an incline of about 150 degrees. Graco has overcome this problem with its new 'comfitech in-seat suspension' which allows the seat to 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.

Seat

They are equipped with unique features such as large puncture-proof tires to handle the most challenging surfaces. They're usually quite wide, and can be tricky to manoeuvre in tight spaces or aisles in stores.

A lot of pushchairs are categorized as all-rounders. This includes the iCandy Pear, Bugaboo Cameleon and a few others. They are able to manage rough terrain in parks or National Trust locations, but do not have the off-road capabilities of real all-terrain strollers.

Then there are the crossover models that are a great compromise between extreme off-road and high street and are able to handle all terrains with big wheels and excellent suspension but they're designed more in a typical pushchair style with reversible seats as well as fully-equipped carrycots which means they are suitable for use on a daily basis. Brands such as iCandy, Easywalker and Bugaboo have created some great ones to look at.


Wheels

If you reside in a rural location or frequently take your child for walks on rough terrain an all-terrain pushchair becomes vital.

Some also have a robust suspension and puncture-proof models so that they're suitable for use on woodland, grass or trails as well as gravel tracks and town cobbles.

Some all-terrain strollers also have a lockable wheel on the front which provides extra stability while walking over rough terrain or on high kerbs. Some models have swivel front wheels which allow you to manoeuvre the buggy more easily when changing direction or turning corners.

All-terrain strollers feature air-filled tyres which are ideal for tackling rough terrain. However they are more prone to punctures than the solid EVA tyres used on lighter city strollers. It's worth buying an repair kit and spare inner tube with your pushchair. Certain models have foam tyres that are less prone to puncture but might be more difficult to push.

The new Bugaboo Fox 5 pushchair is an excellent model of a stroller that includes both foam and air filled tyres. It also comes with a great suspension and large rear wheels that are puncture resistant and ideal for off-road use or jogging (once your child reaches an appropriate age). The model is also suitable for babies and can be used with a carrycot or a lie-flat chair.

Another alternative is the iCandy Peach All-Terrain, which comes with large tyres and one steering wheel at the front.

It is also suitable for infants and comes with a large canopy that can be extended with an adjustable handlebar and a large, spacious basket.

Stores

Parents who want to take their child off-road, but aren't sure about tackling Ben Nevis, there are some top all-terrain pushchairs that give you the best of both worlds.

If you're going to be using your all-terrain pushchair off-road it's a good idea to choose air-filled tyres rather than ones with rubber grips. They will give you a smoother ride over rough terrain and make it easier to navigate in tight spaces. If you plan to use your all-terrain pushchair for occasional jogging make sure that the front wheel can be rotated or has a quick release feature to lock it into position for better stability.

It is essential to determine if the pushchair fabrics can be machine washed to ensure they are in good condition. If not, a spot wash with warm soapy water and some warm water should be sufficient. Drying the fabric completely outdoors can also prevent the growth of mould and mildew.

The majority of our 3 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 the time of birth right up until your child is around three years old. Some are compatible with car seat adapters for a three-person family. You can leave your car at home and use all-terrain strollers that have a fixed wheel for light jogging or casual strolling.
