What's The Job Market For 3 Wheel All Terrain Pushchair Professionals Like?

3 Wheel All Terrain Pushchair

Whether you're seeking a stroller to tackle walking in the woods or a stroll on the main streets, a pushchair that is all-terrain with a great maneuverability will be an ideal fit. These models typically have large wheels and a surprisingly strong suspension to ensure smooth rides over bumps and rough ground.

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 genuine all-terrain pushchair has a great suspension which is specifically designed to be smooth on rough ground and help your child to feel comfortable and relaxed. The wheels should also be large and will usually be a puncture-proof type to avoid damage from sharp sticks or rocks.

Some all-terrain strollers offer the option to switch between additional tyres for different conditions. Based on the type of terrain you prefer to explore, some all-terrain pushchairs have an adjustable front wheel that can be locked for stability or left unlocked for greater manoeuvrability when needed.

A few all-terrain strollers include an adjustable brake handbrake that locks and is easy to reach by hand. This is more convenient than an ordinary pedal on the handlebars. This is an excellent feature to have in case you prefer to climb up steep hills, especially with children in the seat and lots of shopping bags stashed beneath!

There are many strollers that have good off-road capability however they are not the best. They also have big wheels and a great suspension. They tend to be cheaper than full-on all-terrain buggy options and will still be suitable for short strolls in the countryside or trips to the park.

Many of these strollers are suitable for newborns and come with an infant carrycot or a car seat that is ready for newborns. However, be aware that when it comes to pushing over bumps and dips the seats aren't completely flat - as per EU regulations, they are required to meet minimum requirements for recline of around 150 degrees. Certain brands, like Graco, have overcome this issue with their "comfitech" suspension in the seat that allows the seat to recline at a slightly flatter angle for a little more comfort. This 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 wheel tandem stroller- in one travel system.

Seat

There's a whole range of 3 wheel all terrain buggy-wheel all terrain pushchairs to choose from that offer excellent off-road capability. These are perfect if you reside in the countryside or regularly walk on uneven, rough terrain. They are typically more durable and durable than a standard pushchair, with special features like large puncture-proof wheels to deal with the toughest of surfaces. They are often quite large and may be difficult to maneuver in tight spaces or in aisles of shops.

The seat of an all-terrain buggy may be world or parent facing and expands with your child from newborn to toddler (it's suitable from 6 months). It is equipped with 'never-flat' foam tyres that give a smooth ride. It also has dual frame suspension, luxurious padding and a seat unit with excellent postural support. It also has a reclining mechanism and comes with a large extendable sun hood with integrated ventilation, as well as a smart phone pocket.

The new Out 'n' About Nipper V5 is a great option. It's an all-terrain stroller that's an innovator. It comes with a great suspension and air-filled tyres so it's able to jog once your child reaches the appropriate age. It also features a 360 swivel lockable front wheel for manoeuvrability, and it folds with one hand, which is easy and quick. It's suitable for babies from birth and can be combined with an UPPAbaby carrycot, or infant car seat adaptors (sold separately).

A majority of all-terrain pushchairs lack an reversible seat, however the models like the Oyster 3, Venicci Tinum and egg 2 do offer this option, and both provide an excellent level of off-road capability and an acceptable weight limit for a 2-year old. There are also many pushchairs classified as all-rounders, such as the iCandy Pear and Bugaboo Cameleon which are very good with the rough terrain found in park or National Trust places but don't offer the off-road capabilities of true all-terrain pushchairs.

Then there are the crossover models which are a fantastic combination of extreme off-road and high-street and offer excellent all-terrain capabilities with large wheels and great suspension, but they're designed like a standard pushchair, with reversible seats and the option of a full carrycot, so they can be used on a daily basis. Brands like iCandy, Easywalker and Bugaboo have come up with some fantastic models to look at.

Wheels

If you reside in a rural location or regularly take your baby for walks on rough terrain an all-terrain pushchair becomes vital. These pushchairs typically have bigger back wheels than standard pushchairs, making them better in handling rough off-road terrains and ensuring the most comfortable ride for your child. They also have sturdy suspension and puncture-proof versions to ensure they're safe for use on woodland, grass or trails or gravel tracks, as well as market town cobbles.

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

All-terrain strollers feature air-filled tyres that are great for tackling rough terrain. However they are more prone to punctures than the solid EVA tyres that are found on light city strollers. It's worth buying a repair kit as well as an spare inner tube along with your pushchair. Some all-terrain models have foam tyres, which are less susceptible to punctures but they're not as effective at absorbing shock and may feel harder to push than tyres filled with air.

The new Bugaboo Fox 5 is a good example of a pushchair with both air and foam-filled tyres, with a fantastic suspension system and large rear puncture-proof wheels which are perfect for off-road or running (once your child is old enough). The model can be used even from birth with a carrycot and an incline-flat chair.

Another alternative is the iCandy Peach All-Terrain, which comes with large tyres and one steering wheel at the front. It is not as flexible as the other strollers that are all-terrain, but it can be able to handle terrain that is hilly and has a spacious one-hand fold that is ideal for long walks in the countryside, or long trips. It is also suitable for babies and features a large, extendable canopy with an adjustable handlebar and a hugely-sized basket.

Storage

There are excellent all-terrain pushchairs for parents who would like to take their child off-road but don't wish to tackle Ben Nevis. They provide the best of both. Find one that has all-terrain capabilities, sturdy suspension, and large puncture proof wheels, yet is built in a traditional pushchair style with reversible seating and full carrycot options.

UPPAbaby's popular Ridge all-terrain pushchair is an excellent illustration of this. It offers excellent suspension, a simple fold and a generous 10kg basket, but it also comes with features for parents that are child-friendly, like an adjustable handlebar, a hand-operated brake on the right and a large covered storage space. A hood that can be removed and then brushed down with cool soapy water is another handy feature that will help prevent mildew and mould from forming.

If you intend to take your all-terrain stroller off road and on the road, you should consider air-filled tires instead of rubber grips. They will provide a smoother ride on uneven ground and are easier to maneuver in tight spaces. If you are planning to use your all terrain pushchair for occasional jogging make sure that the front wheel is swivelable or has a quick-release feature so it can lock in position for better stability.

It is essential to determine if the pushchair fabrics can be machine washed to maintain them in perfect condition. If not, a spot clean with warm soapy water and some warm water should suffice. The fabric can be dried thoroughly outside to prevent mould or mildew.

The majority of our 3 wheeled pushchairs wheel all terrain pushchairs are suitable from the time of birth. Look for models with a fully lie-flat seat and reversible backrest that will allow you to use it from the time of birth all the way to when your child is three years old. Many are compatible with car seat adaptors when you're traveling with a family of three. You can leave your car at home and instead use all-terrain strollers that have fixed wheels for jogging, light or casual strolling. One example is the Delta Special Needs All-Terrain Jogger from Delichon available in a variety of sizes of canvas and frame that suit both children and adults.
