3 wheel stroller lightweight Wheel All Terrain Pushchair

Whether you're seeking a stroller to take on walks in the woods or strolls along the high-street, a pushchair that is all-terrain with excellent manoeuvrability will be the perfect fit. These types of models are typically equipped with large wheels and suspension systems that provide smooth riding on rough terrain.

The majority are suitable for babies and come with a lie-flat seat or newborn carrycot. They also usually have foam-filled never-flat tyres to reduce maintenance.

Suspension

A genuine all-terrain pushchair should have an excellent suspension that has been specifically designed to be ultra smooth and comfortable on rough terrain. This will help your child feel relaxed and comfortable. The wheels are usually big and puncture-proof, preventing damage from sharp sticks or rocks.

Some all-terrain strollers 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 provide stability, or left unlocked to permit greater manoeuvrability.

For additional peace of mind Some all-terrain pushchairs include a lockable handbrake which is easier to reach and use with your free hand instead of an ordinary brake pedal located on the handlebars' sides. This is an excellent feature to have in case you prefer to climb up difficult terrain, particularly with a child in the seat and lots of shopping bags hidden under!

If you don't want go quite as extreme as an all-terrain pushchair there are plenty of strollers that have very good - but not the ultimate off-road capability, with excellent suspension and large wheels. These are often a bit more affordable than the more expensive full-on all-terrain buggy models, and will still be ideal for trips to the park with the dog or short country walks.

A lot of these pushchairs can be used for babies from birth, whether with a carrycot or a newborn-ready car seat. However, be aware that when pushing over bumps and dips, the seats aren't completely flat. According to EU regulations, they are required to meet minimum requirements for recline of around 150 degrees. Graco has overcome this problem by introducing a new 'comfitech in-seat suspension' which allows the seat recline at a flatter angle for more comfort. This is available on the Lila XP all-terrain pushchair which can be used with an compatible Graco infant car seat to create a 3 wheeled pushchairs in 1 travel system.
