10 Things You Learned In Preschool, That'll Aid You In 3 Wheel All Terrain Pushchair

3 Wheel All Terrain Pushchair

A pushchair that is all-terrain and has outstanding maneuverability will work whether you are searching for a buggy for walking in the woods or for taking a stroll along the main street. These types of models are typically equipped with large wheels and suspension systems that provide smooth riding on bumpy terrain.

Most are suitable from birth and come with a lie-flat baby seat or a newborn carrycot. They also usually have foam-filled never-flat tyres to reduce maintenance.

Suspension

A truly all-terrain pushchair has a great suspension, specifically designed to be smooth on rough terrain which allows your child to feel comfortable and relaxed. The wheels are usually large and puncture-proof to prevent injuries from sharp sticks or rocks.

The larger tyres will help you tackle more difficult terrain with ease and some pushchairs that are all-terrain even offering the option of additional tyres that can be switched between for different conditions. Depending on what kind of terrain you want to explore, some all-terrain pushchairs have a swivel front wheel which can be locked for stability or unlocked for more manoeuvrability when needed.

For  3 wheel pushchair  of mind, some all-terrain pushchairs will have a handbrake that is lockable, which is easier to reach and use with your hands free than with an ordinary brake pedal located placed on the handlebars' sides. This is a great feature if you are an avid climber.

If you don't want to go quite as extreme as an all-terrain pushchair there are many strollers on the market which are very well-built, but not the ultimate off-road capability, with excellent suspension and large wheels. They are usually less expensive than the more expensive full-on all-terrain pushchairs but are perfect for walks in the dog park or short walks around the countryside.

Many of these strollers are suitable for newborns, with either an infant carrycot or a car seat that is suitable for newborns. Be aware that when pushing over bumps and dips the seats won't lie completely flat - as per EU regulations, they are required to meet the minimum requirements for reclining position of about 150deg. Certain brands, like Graco have gotten around this issue with their "comfitech" suspension in the seat that allows the seat to recline at a slightly more flatter angle for a bit more comfort. This is available on the Lila XP all-terrain pushchair which can be used with a compatible Graco infant car seat to create a 3- in one travel system.


Seat

There's a variety of 3-wheel all-terrain pushchairs to pick from, offering a superb off-road capability. They are perfect if live on the countryside or walk frequently on rough, uneven terrain. These are more robust and durable than a standard pushchair. They have special features, like big puncture-proof tires to withstand the most challenging surfaces. They tend to be quite wide and are difficult to maneuver in tight spaces or in the aisles of shops.

The seat on an all-terrain buggy can either be world or parent facing and expands with your child from infant to toddler (it's suitable from 6 months). It is equipped with 'never-flat' foam tyres that give a smooth ride. It also comes with dual frame suspension, luxurious padding and an adjustable seat that provides excellent postural support. It also comes with a reclining mechanism and comes with an expansive sun hood that extends with integrated ventilation, as well as a pocket for your smart phone.

The brand new Out 'n' About Nipper V5 is another great option. It's an all-terrain stroller that is an inspiration. It has excellent suspension and tyres with air-filled so it's suitable to jog once your child is of the right age. It features a 360-degree lockable front wheel that provides ease of maneuverability and one-handed folding. It's suitable for babies from birth and can be combined with an UPPAbaby carrycot or infant car seat adapters (sold separately).

A majority of all-terrain pushchairs lack a reversible seat, but the models like the Oyster 3, Venicci Tinum and egg 2 do offer this option and both offer a very good level of off-road capability and an adequate weight limit for a two-year old. A lot of pushchairs are classified as all-rounders. They include the iCandy Pear, Bugaboo Cameleon and others. They can navigate rough terrain in parks or National Trust locations, but lack the off-road capabilities of genuine all-terrain strollers.

Then there are the crossover models that are a great combination of extreme off-road and street and offer excellent all-terrain capabilities with large wheels and a great suspension, but they're built more like a standard pushchair, with reversible seats and fully-equipped carrycots which means they can be used on a daily basis. Some of the top models are manufactured by brands such as iCandy Easywalker and Bugaboo.

Wheels

Certain all-terrain strollers also come with a lockable wheel at the front which provides extra stability when walking over rough terrain or high kerbs. Some models have swivel wheels at the front that allow you to move the buggy more easily if you want to change direction or turn corners.

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

The new Bugaboo Fox 5 is a great example of a child's pushchair that has both foam-filled and air-filled tyres. It also has a great suspension system and large rear puncture-proof wheels which are perfect for off-road or running (once your child is old enough). This model can be used even from birth with a carrycot or a lying-flat chair.

Another option is the iCandy Peach All-Terrain, which has large tyres and has a single steering wheel at the front. It's not as flexible as the other pushchairs with all-terrain capabilities on this list but it does cope well with hills and features a spacious one-handed fold, which is great if you're going to be using the pushchair for long walks or excursions into the countryside. It is also suitable for infants and comes with a large canopy that can be extended and a movable handlebar and a hugely-sized basket.

They'll provide a smoother ride over rough terrain, and make it easier to navigate in tight spaces.
