3 Wheel All Terrain Pushchair

If you're looking for a pushchair to take on walking in the woods or a stroll on the high street, a pushchair that is all-terrain with excellent maneuverability is the perfect choice. These models are usually equipped with large wheels and suspension systems that provide smooth riding on rough terrain.

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

Suspension

A true all-terrain pushchair will have a sturdy suspension that is specifically designed to be ultra smooth and comfortable on rough terrain. This will help your child feel more relaxed and at ease. The wheels should also be large and will usually have a puncture-proof design to protect against damage caused by sharp sticks or rocks.

The larger tyres will help you tackle more difficult terrain with ease, with some all-terrain pushchairs even offering the option of additional tyres to switch between for different conditions. Some all-terrain strollers have a swivel wheel that can be locked to provide stability or unlocked to allow for greater maneuverability.

For added security Some all-terrain pushchairs feature a locking handbrake that is much easier to reach and use with your free hand instead of a traditional brake pedal to the handlebars' side. This is a great feature to have if you like to tackle steep hills, especially with a child in the seat, and a number of shopping bags hidden beneath!

If you don't want to go as extreme as an all-terrain stroller, there are a lot of strollers that offer excellent - but not perfect - off road capability with great suspension and large wheels. They are usually less expensive than the more expensive all-terrain buggy models but are perfect for excursions to the park with your dog or short walks around the countryside.

A lot of these pushchairs are suitable starting at birth, either with the carrycot or a newborn-ready car seat. Be aware, however, that when it comes to pushing over dips and bumps, the seats aren't completely flat. According to EU regulations, they are required to meet the minimum requirements for recline of around 150deg. Graco has solved this issue with its new 'comfitech seat suspension' which allows the seat to recline at a more rounded angle for 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 3 wheel stroller with bassinet (click through the next site)-in-1 travel system.
