3 wheel stroller with seat Wheel All Terrain Pushchair
If you're looking for a pushchair for walking in the woods or a stroll on the main streets, an all-terrain pushchair with excellent maneuverability is a great choice. These models usually have large wheels and offer impressive suspension to ensure smooth rides over rough terrain and bumps.
The majority are suitable for babies and come with a lie-flat seat or newborn carrycot. They are also typically fitted with foam-filled tyres that are never flat to help with maintenance.
Suspension
A quality all-terrain pushchair has an excellent suspension that has been designed to be extra smooth and comfortable on rough terrain. This will make your child feel more relaxed and comfortable. The wheels are usually large and puncture-proof to prevent injuries from sharp rocks or sharp sticks.
Some all-terrain strollers even offer the option to switch between different tyres to suit the conditions. Some all-terrain strollers have an swivel wheel that can be locked to offer stability, or left unlocked to allow for greater maneuverability.
To give you added security, some all-terrain pushchairs will include a lockable handbrake which is easier to reach and use with your free hand than with a traditional brake pedal to the side of the handlebars. This is an excellent feature if you are an avid climber.
If you don't wish to go as far as an all-terrain stroller, there are plenty of strollers on the market which have very good - but not ultimate - off-road capabilities, and have great suspension and large wheels. They tend to be cheaper than full-on all-terrain double buggy 3 wheels models and can be suitable for short country walks or trips to the park.
A lot of these pushchairs are suitable starting at birth, either with an infant carrycot or a baby-ready car seat. Be aware that the seats will not lie flat when pushing over bumps or dips. As per EU regulations, they only must meet minimum standards of an incline of about 150 degrees. Certain brands, such as Graco, have overcome this issue with their 'comfitech' in-seat suspension which allows the seat to recline at a flatter angle for a little more comfort. This feature is available on the Lila XP all-terrain pushchair which can be used in conjunction with an appropriate Graco infant car seat to create a 3 wheel all terrain buggy- in 1 travel system.
Seat
There is a variety of 3 Wheel buggy for sale-wheeled all-terrain pushchairs that offer an excellent off-road capability. They are perfect for those who reside in the countryside or frequently take a walk on uneven, rough ground. These are more robust and durable than a standard pushchair. They have special features like large puncture-proof tires that can handle the most challenging surfaces. They're usually quite wide, so could be difficult to maneuver in tight spaces or narrow aisles in shops.
The seat on an all-terrain buggy could be facing the world or towards the parent and will grow with your child, from infant to toddler (it's suitable for children as young as 6 months). It's outfitted with foam-filled "never flat' tyres for an easy ride with dual frame suspension, as well as lavish padding inside the seat that provides superb postural support and comfort. It also has a reclining feature, as well as an enormous hood that can be extended, integrated venting and an area for a smartphone.

A majority of all-terrain pushchairs lack an reversible seat, however the models like the Oyster 3, Venicci Tinum and egg 2 do come with this option and both offer an excellent level of off-road performance and have an adequate weight limit for a two-year old. There are also many pushchairs that are classed as all-rounders like the iCandy Pear and Bugaboo Cameleon, which cope very well with the rough terrain found in park or National Trust places but don't offer the off-road performance of genuine all-terrain pushchairs.
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 an option for reversible seating and a carrycot. 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 the countryside or take your child for regular walks on rough terrain. These pushchairs have larger wheels on the back of regular pushchairs, which allows them to deal with rough terrain better and provide an easier ride for your child. Many models also have a durable suspension and are puncture-proof so they can be used on woodland paths or forest paths, gravel roads and market town cobbles.
Some all-terrain strollers also come with a lockable wheel at the front which provides extra stability while walking over rough terrain or high kerbs. Some have swivel wheels on the front that allow you to move the buggy more easily if you want to change direction or turn corners.
Most all-terrain pushchairs feature air-filled tyres which offer excellent shock absorption and are ideal for tackling rough ground but they are more susceptible to punctures than the solid EVA tyres found on city strollers that are light, therefore it's a good idea to invest in repair kits along with a spare inner tube and pump to go with your pushchair. Some all-terrain models have foam tyres which are less susceptible to punctures, but aren't as effective at absorbing shock and may be more difficult to push than tyres with air filled.
The new Bugaboo Fox 5 is a excellent example of a pushchair with both foam-filled and air-filled tyres. It also has an excellent suspension system, and large rear puncture-proof wheels that are ideal for off-road and jogging use (once your child is old enough). It can also be used from birth with a carrycot or a lie-flat chair.
The iCandy Peach All-Terrain is another alternative. It has big tyres, a single steering-wheel in the front and big tyres. It's not as versatile as the other all-terrain pushchairs listed on this list, but it does handle hilly terrain and has a spacious, one-handed fold which is great if you're going to be using the pushchair for long walks or excursions into the countryside. It's also suitable for children from birth and comes with a large, extendable sun canopy as well as a number of fantastic features for parents such as a brake pedal that is easy to use and a movable handlebar, as well as a large spacious basket.
Storage

Look for a model with excellent all-terrain capabilities, durable suspension, and large puncture-proof wheels but designed in the traditional double pushchair 3 wheeler style, with reversible seats and the option of a full carrycot.
UPPAbaby's well-known Ridge all-terrain pushchair is a perfect illustration of this. It offers excellent suspension, an easy one-handed fold, and a large 10kg basket, but it also comes with features that are suitable for parents, such as an adjustable handlebar, a hand-operated brake on the right-hand side and a large covered storage space. The hood can be removed, and washed using cool soapy-water to keep out mould and mildew.

It is important to verify that the fabric of your pushchair to ensure it can be machine washed to ensure they are in pristine condition.
