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

3 Wheel All Terrain Pushchair

If you're seeking a stroller to tackle woodland walks 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 that gives an easy ride on bumpy terrain.

The majority are suitable for infants 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 a great suspension which is specifically designed to be smooth on rough terrain and help your child to be comfortable and calm. The wheels should also be large and 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. Certain all-terrain strollers come with a swivel wheel that can be locked to provide stability or unlocked to allow for greater maneuverability.

A few all-terrain strollers include a lockable brake handbrake that is more accessible by hand. This is superior to a traditional pedal on the handlebars. This is a fantastic option if you're a fan of steep hills.

If you don't want to go as far as an all-terrain stroller, there are a lot of strollers on the market which offer excellent - but not perfect - off-road capability, with excellent suspension and big wheels. These are typically less expensive than the more expensive all-terrain buggy models but are perfect for excursions to the park with the dog or short walks around the countryside.

Many of these pushchairs can be used from birth, either with a carrycot or a newborn-ready car seat. Be aware that when pushing over bumps and dips, the seats will not lie completely flat. As per EU regulations, they are required to meet minimum standards for a reclined position of around 150deg. Graco has solved this issue with its new 'comfitech seat suspension' that lets the seat to recline at a more rounded angle to provide a little more comfort. This 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 for running- in one travel system.

Seat

There's a variety of three-wheel all terrain pushchairs to choose from with a fantastic off-road capability. They are great for those who live in the countryside or regularly walk on rough, uneven ground. These are more robust and durable than a regular pushchair. They have special features like large puncture-proof tires to withstand the toughest surfaces. They are usually quite wide, so can be tricky to manoeuvre in tight spaces or aisles in shops.

The seat on an all-terrain buggy can either be world or parent facing and grows with your child from newborn to toddler (it's suitable for children as young as 6 months). It has 'never-flat' foam-filled tyres that give a smooth ride. It also has dual frame suspension, luxurious padding and a seat with great postural support. It also has a reclining mechanism, as well as an extended sun hood that can be extended with integrated ventilation, as well as a pocket for your smart phone.

Another excellent choice is the new Out 'n' About Nipper V5, a pushchair that's all-terrain that is a true trailblazer with a great suspension and air-filled tyres so it can be used to jog once your child is old enough. It features an adjustable 360-degree locking front wheel that allows effortless maneuverability as well as a swift one-handed folding. It is suitable from birth, and can be used with an adaptor for UPPAbaby's infant car seat or carrycot (sold separately).

There are a number of all-terrain strollers that do not have an reversible seat. However the Oyster 3 wheel baby buggy, Venicci Tanum and egg 2, which offer this option, come with a very good weight limit and a excellent off-road capability. There are many pushchairs that are classed as all-rounders like 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 all-terrain pushchairs.

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

Wheels

If you reside in a rural location or frequently take your child for walks over rough terrain an all-terrain pushchair is essential. These pushchairs have larger wheels on the back of regular pushchairs, which allows them to handle bumpy terrain better and provide an easier ride for your child. A lot of models also have a robust suspension that is puncture-proof. They can be used on grass, woodland paths and forest paths, as well as gravel roads, and market town cobbles.

Some all-terrain pushchairs also feature front wheels that lock, which gives extra stability when walking over rough terrain and over high kerbs. Some have swivel wheels on the front, which allow you to move the buggy with ease if you want to change direction or turn corners.

Most all-terrain pushchairs have air-filled tyres that provide excellent shock absorption and are perfect for tackling rough ground however they're more susceptible to punctures than solid EVA tyres used on city strollers, which is why you should invest in a repair kit along with a spare inner tube and pump alongside your pushchair. Some all-terrain models feature foam tyres, which are less prone to punctures, but aren't as effective at absorbing shock and may be harder to push than air-filled tyres.

The new Bugaboo Fox 5 is a good example of a pushchair that comes with foam-filled and air-filled tyres. It also has an excellent suspension system, and large wheels that are puncture-proof at the rear. They are ideal for off-road or running (once your child is old enough). The model is also suitable for children from birth and can be used with a carrycot or a lie-flat chair.

The iCandy Peach All-Terrain is another alternative. It has large tyres, a single steering-wheel in the front and big tyres. It's not as pliable like the other pushchairs with all-terrain capabilities on this list, but it can handle the terrain that is hilly and has an expansive one-handed fold, which is perfect if you're planning to be using the pushchair for long walks or excursions to the countryside. It's also suitable for children from birth and has a huge sun canopy that can be extended as well as a number of fantastic features for parents including an easy-to-use brake pedal with an adjustable handlebar as well as a generously big basket.

Storage

There are some excellent all-terrain pushchairs that are ideal for parents who are looking to take their children off-road, but do not want to take on Ben Nevis. They offer the best of both. Find one that has all-terrain capabilities, sturdy suspension, and large puncture-proof wheels, but is designed in a classic pushchair style with reversible seating as well as full carrycot options.

The UPPAbaby's bestselling Ridge all-terrain pushchair is a perfect example of this; it offers excellent suspension, an easy one-handed fold, and a large 10kg basket. It also has features that are suitable for parents, such as an adjustable handlebar, a hand-operated brake on the right and a large, covered storage space. The hood can be removed and washed with cool soapy water to avoid mould or mildew.

If you're going to be using your all-terrain pushchair off-road it's a good idea to choose air-filled tyres instead of those with rubber grips. These will provide a smoother ride over rough terrain and will make it easier to navigate in tight spaces. If you plan to use your all-terrain pushchair for occasional jogging, be sure the front wheel can pivot or has a quick release feature to lock it in place for more stability.

It is essential to determine if the fabric of the pushchair is machine washed to keep them in perfect condition. If not, a spot cleaning with warm water and a small amount of soap gentle enough should be sufficient. Drying the fabric thoroughly outside can also prevent mould and mildew from developing.

The majority of our 3 wheeled all terrain pushchairs are able to be used from the time of birth. Choose models that have a fully lie-flat chair and reversible backrest that will allow you to use it from birth until your child is about three years old. If you want to travel as a family of three, a lot are compatible with car seats due to built-in adaptors.
