3 Wheel All Terrain Pushchair

A pushchair that is all-terrain and has great maneuverability will be perfect whether you are searching for a buggy for walking in the woods or for taking a stroll along the main street. These models typically have large wheels and a surprisingly strong suspension for a smooth ride over bumps and rough ground.

Most are suitable for newborns and come with seats that can be positioned on a flat surface or a baby carrycot. They also have foam-filled tyres that are never flat to help with maintenance.

Suspension

A genuine all-terrain pushchair has an excellent suspension that has been specifically designed to be ultra smooth and comfortable on rough terrain. This will make your child feel relaxed and comfortable. The wheels are usually big and puncture-proof, preventing injuries from sharp rocks or sharp sticks.

Some all-terrain strollers even provide the option of switching between tyres with different conditions. Depending on the kind of terrain you like to explore, some all-terrain pushchairs have an swivel front wheel that can be locked to ensure stability or left unlocked for greater manoeuvrability when needed.

A few all-terrain strollers include a brake handbrake lockable that is easier to reach using your hands. This is more convenient than the traditional pedal that is located on the handlebars. This is a fantastic feature to have if you want to take on the steep slopes, especially with children in the seat and lots of shopping bags tucked away under!

If you don't want go as extreme as an all-terrain pushchair, there are a lot of strollers that have very good - but not the Ickle Bubba Venus Max All-Black Stroller: Ultimate Jogger off-road capabilities, and have great suspension and big wheels. These are typically more affordable than the more expensive full-on all terrain buggy options however they are perfectly suitable for trips to the dog park or short country walks.

A lot of strollers are suitable for infants, with either an infant carrycot or a car seat that is ready for infants. Be aware, however, that when it comes to pushing over bumps and dips, the seats won't lie completely flat - as per EU regulations, they are required to meet minimum requirements for reclining position of about 150deg. Graco has gotten around this issue with its new 'comfitech in-seat suspension' that lets the seat recline at a flatter angle for a bit more comfort. It is available on the Lila XP all-terrain pushchair which can be used in conjunction with a compatible Graco infant car seat to create a 3 in one travel system.

There are a number of all-terrain strollers that do not have a reversible seat.
