What NOT To Do With The 3 Wheel All Terrain Pushchair Industry

3 Wheel All Terrain Pushchair

A pushchair that is all-terrain and offers excellent maneuverability will suit you whether you are seeking a stroller for nature walks or a stroll on the high streets. These models are usually equipped with large wheels and suspension systems that provide an easy ride on rough terrain.

Most are suitable from birth and include a lie-flat seat or a baby carrycot. These vehicles also come with tyres which never flatten, and are usually composed from foam.

Suspension

A true all terrain pushchair will have a good suspension, designed to be extremely smooth on uneven ground and help your child to feel comfortable and at ease. The wheels are usually large and puncture-proof to prevent damage from sharp rocks or sharp sticks.

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. Based on the type of terrain you prefer to explore Some all-terrain pushchairs come with an adjustable front wheel that can be locked for stability or left unlocked for greater manoeuvrability when needed.

For added security Some all-terrain pushchairs feature a locking handbrake that is easier to reach and use with your hands free rather than using an ordinary brake pedal located to the side of the handlebars. This is a fantastic feature to have in case you prefer to tackle the steep slopes, especially with children in the seat and a lot of shopping bags tucked away underneath!

If you don't want to go as extreme as an all-terrain pushchair, there are a lot of strollers that are very well-built, but not the ultimate off-road capability, with excellent suspension and big wheels. They tend to be more affordable than full-on all-terrain buggy models, and can work well for short walks in the countryside or trips to the park.

Many of these strollers are suitable for babies, with either a carrycot or a car seat that is suitable for newborns. Be aware, however, that when it comes to pushing over dips and bumps, the seats aren't completely flat. As per EU regulations, they have to meet the minimum requirements for reclined position of around 150 degrees. Certain brands, like Graco, have overcome this problem with their new 'comfitech' in-seat suspension which allows the seat to recline at a flatter angle for a bit more comfort. This feature is available on the Lila XP All-Terrain Pushchair, which can be paired with the Graco Infant Car Seat to create a three-in-one travel system.

Certain models come with foam tyres which are less prone to puncture but may be harder to push.
