3 wheel all terrain buggy 3 wheel buggy for sale All Terrain Pushchair

Whether you're looking for a buggy to tackle walks in the woods or strolls on the main streets, an all terrain pushchair with excellent manoeuvrability will be an ideal choice. These types of models are typically equipped with large wheels and suspension systems that provide smooth riding on bumpy terrain.

Most are suitable for newborns and include a seat that can be set on a flat surface or a baby carrycot. They also usually have foam-filled, never-flat tyres for reducing maintenance.

Suspension

A true all terrain pushchair has a great suspension that is designed to be extremely smooth on rough ground, helping your little one to feel comfortable and at ease. The wheels are usually big and puncture-proof to prevent damage from sharp sticks or rocks.

Some all-terrain strollers even offer the option to switch between different tyres to suit the conditions. Depending on what kind of terrain you prefer to explore, some all-terrain pushchairs have an adjustable front wheel that can be locked to ensure stability, or unlocked to allow for more manoeuvrability when needed.

Certain all-terrain strollers have a brake handbrake lockable that is easy to reach by hand. This is better than the traditional pedal that is located on the handlebars. This is a great feature to have if you like to take on difficult terrain, particularly with a child in the seat and lots of shopping bags hidden underneath!

If you don't want go quite as extreme as an all-terrain pushchair there are many strollers that are very well-built, but not ultimate - off road capability with great suspension and big wheels. They are usually more affordable than the more expensive all terrain buggy options but are perfectly suitable for walks in the park with the dog or short country walks.

A lot of strollers are suitable for newborns and come with an infant carrycot or a car seat that is designed for infants. Be aware that when it comes to pushing over bumps and dips, the seats aren't completely flat. According to EU regulations, they are required to meet minimum standards for a reclined position of around 150deg. Certain brands, like Graco, have overcome this with their new 'comfitech' in-seat suspension which allows the seat to recline at a slightly flatter angle for a little more comfort. It is available on the Lila XP all-terrain pushchair which can be used with a compatible Graco infant car seat to create a 3 wheel stroller and car seat- in 1 travel system.

Seat

There is a variety of all-terrain pushchairs with three wheels available, which offer a superb off-road capability. They are great if you live in the countryside or regularly take a walk on rough, uneven ground. They are often more robust and sturdy than a normal pushchair, with special features like large wheels that are puncture-proof to withstand the toughest of surfaces. They are often quite wide and are difficult to maneuver in narrow spaces or in aisles of shops.

The seat on an all-terrain buggy could be facing the world or towards the parent and expands with your child from newborn to toddler (it's suitable from 6 months). It has 'never-flat' foam-filled tires that offer a comfortable ride. It also features dual frame suspension, luxurious padding and a seat with great postural support. It has a reclining feature and comes with an enormous hood that can be extended, integrated venting and pockets for smartphones.

Another option that is a great choice is the brand new Out 'n' About Nipper V5, an all-terrain pushchair that's a trailblazer with a great suspension and air-filled tyres, which means it can be used for jogging once your child is old enough. It has an adjustable 360-degree locking front wheel that allows for ease of maneuverability and one-handed folding. It's suitable for babies for babies from birth and can be used with an adaptor for UPPAbaby's infant car seat or carrycot (sold separately).

A majority of all-terrain pushchairs lack seats that can be reversible, however the models like the Oyster 3 Wheel infant Stroller, Venicci Tinum and egg 2 do offer this option, and both provide a very good level of off-road capability and an adequate weight limit for a 2 year old. A lot of pushchairs are classified as all-rounders. This includes the iCandy Pear, Bugaboo Cameleon and others. They can handle rough terrain in parks or National Trust locations, but don't have the off-road capabilities as true all-terrain strollers.

There are also crossover models that offer an excellent compromise between off road and high street. They come with big wheels, excellent suspension, and are built in a pushchair design, and include the option of reversible seating as well as carrycots. Brands such as iCandy, Easywalker and Bugaboo have created some great ones to look at.

Wheels

All-terrain pushchairs are essential when you live in a rural area or take your child on regular walks over rough terrain. These models usually come with larger back wheels than standard pushchairs, making them better at handling bumpy off-road terrain, and ensuring the most comfortable ride for your child. A lot of models also have a robust suspension that is puncture-proof so they can be used on woodland paths, forest paths, gravel roads and market town cobbles.

Some all-terrain strollers also feature a lockable wheel on the front, which gives extra stability when walking over rough terrain or high kerbs. Some have swivel wheels on the front, which allow you to move the buggy more easily in case you want to change direction or turn corners.

Most all-terrain pushchairs have air-filled tyres that provide excellent shock absorption and are ideal for tackling rough ground but they are more susceptible to punctures than the EVA tyres that are used on city strollers, so it's worth buying a repair kit along with a spare inner tube and pump for your pushchair. Some all-terrain models feature foam tyres which are less susceptible to punctures, but aren't as good at absorbing shock and may be more difficult to push than air-filled tyres.

The brand 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 ideal for off-road and jogging use (once your child is old enough). The model is also suitable for children from birth and can be used in conjunction with a carrycot or a lie-flat chair.

The iCandy Peach All-Terrain is another alternative. It has large tires, a single steering 3 wheel pushchair travel system in the front and big tyres. It's not as flexible as the other all-terrain pushchairs listed on this list, but it can perform well on hills and features an ample one-handed fold that is great if you're going to use the pushchair for long walks or trips into the countryside. It's also suitable from birth and comes with a large, extendable sun canopy and a host of great features for parents, like a simple brake pedal with an adjustable handlebar as well as a generously spacious basket.

Stores

Parents who would like to take their little one off-road but don't necessarily fancy climbing Ben Nevis, there are some excellent all terrain pushchairs that offer the best of both worlds. Look for a model with an excellent all-terrain capability, solid suspension and big puncture-proof wheels but designed in a more traditional pushchair design with reversible seats as well as all carrycot options.

UPPAbaby's well-known Ridge all-terrain pushchair is a great example of this. It has a great suspension, an easy one-handed fold and a generous 10kg basket, but it also comes with parent-friendly features including an adjustable handlebar, hand-operated brake on the right side and a huge covered storage space. A hood that can be removed and cleaned with cool soapy water is another helpful feature that can keep mildew and mould from building up.

If you are planning to take your all-terrain stroller off road and on the road, you should consider air-filled tires instead of rubber grips. They will give you a smoother ride over rough terrain and make it easier to navigate through tight spaces. If you intend to use your all-terrain pushchair for occasional jogging, make sure the front wheel can swivel or has a quick release facility so it can be locked in place to give you more stability.

To keep the best 3 wheel stroller fabrics in pristine condition, make sure they can be washed by a machine. If not, spot cleaning with warm water and a small amount of mild soap will suffice. The fabric can be dried completely outside to avoid mould or mildew.

The majority of our three wheel all terrain pushchairs can be used from the moment of birth. Choose models that have a fully lie-flat seat and reversible backrest that will allow you to use it from birth until your child is three years old. If you plan to travel with your family of three, there are plenty of models that are compatible with car seats thanks to built-in adaptors. You can leave your car at home and use all-terrain strollers with a fixed wheel for jogging, light or casual strolling. One such example is the Delta Special Needs All-Terrain Jogger from Delichon available in a variety of sizes for the frame and canvas that are suitable for children as well as adults.
