3 Wheel Twin stroller Wheel All Terrain Pushchair

Whether you're looking for a buggy for walks in the woods or strolls on the main streets, a pushchair that is all-terrain with a great maneuverability will be the perfect choice. These types typically have big wheels and offer impressive suspension to ensure smooth rides over rough terrain and bumps.

Many are suitable for babies and come with seats that can be placed on a flat surface or a baby carrycot. They are also typically fitted with foam-filled tyres that are never flat to help with maintenance.

Suspension

A truly all-terrain pushchair will have good suspension that is designed to be extremely smooth on rough terrain, helping your little one to feel comfortable and relaxed. The wheels should also be large and will usually have a puncture-proof design to prevent damage from sharp rocks or sticks.

Some all-terrain strollers provide the option of switching between tyres with different conditions. Depending on what kind of terrain you want to explore, some all-terrain pushchairs have an swivel front wheel that can be locked for stability, or unlocked to allow for more maneuverability when needed.

For additional peace of mind Some all-terrain pushchairs have a handbrake that is lockable, which is much easier to reach and use with your free hand instead of the traditional brake pedal that is located on the handlebars' side. This is a fantastic feature to have in case you prefer to tackle steep hills, especially with a child in the seat, and a number of shopping bags hidden beneath!

There are many strollers with good off-road capability but aren't the most powerful. They also have large wheels and excellent suspension. These are often a bit less expensive than the more expensive full-on all-terrain pushchairs however they are perfect for walks in the park with the dog or short country walks.

A lot of these pushchairs are suitable for babies from birth, whether with an infant carrycot or a baby-ready car seat. Be aware that the seats will not lay flat when pushing over bumps or dips. As per EU regulations, they have to meet minimum requirements of a reclining angle of around 150deg. Some brands, including Graco, have overcome this problem with their new "comfitech" suspension in the seat that allows the seat to recline at a flatter angle for a little more comfort. It is available on the Lila XP all-terrain pushchair which can be used with an compatible Graco infant car seat to create a 3 wheel pushchairs- in 1 travel system.

Wheels

All-terrain pushchairs are essential if you live in a rural area or take your child on regular walks through rough terrain. These pushchairs have larger wheels on the back of traditional pushchairs, which enables them to deal with bumpy terrain better and offer an easier ride for your child. They also have robust suspension and puncture-proof models so that they're suitable for use on woodland, grass or forest paths or gravel tracks, as well as market town cobbles.

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

All-terrain pushchairs come with air-filled tyres that provide excellent shock absorption and are ideal for rough terrain but they're more prone to punctures than solid EVA tyres used on city strollers, therefore it's a good idea to invest in a repair kit, spare inner tube and pump for your pushchair. Some models come with foam tyres which are less likely to puncture, but could be more difficult to push.

The brand new Bugaboo Fox 5 is a great example of a child's pushchair that has both air and foam-filled tyres, with a fantastic suspension system and large rear puncture-proof wheels that are ideal for off-road and jogging use (once your child is old enough).
