3 Wheel All Terrain Pushchair

Whether you're seeking a stroller to take on walking in the woods or a stroll along the high-street, an all-terrain pushchair with excellent manoeuvrability will be a great fit. These models usually have large wheels and a surprisingly strong suspension for smooth rides over rough terrain and bumps.

The majority of them are suitable from birth and come with a lie-flat baby seat or newborn carrycot. These vehicles also come with tyres which never flatten, usually made from foam.

Suspension

A genuine all-terrain pushchair will have a good suspension which is specifically designed to be smooth on rough terrain, helping your little one to feel comfortable and relaxed. The wheels should also be large and usually be puncture-proof to prevent damage from sharp rocks or sticks.
