3 Wheel All Terrain Pushchair
Whether you're seeking a stroller to take on walking in the woods or a stroll on the high street, an all terrain pushchair with excellent manoeuvrability will be an ideal fit. These models typically have large wheels and a surprisingly strong suspension to ensure a smooth ride over rough terrain and bumps.
Many are suitable for babies and include seats that can be positioned flat or a newborn carrycot. These vehicles also come with tyres which never flatten, which are typically composed of foam.
Suspension
A genuine all-terrain pushchair will have a good suspension that is designed to be extra smooth on rough ground, helping your little one to be comfortable and calm. The wheels will also be large and typically have a puncture-proof design to prevent damage from sharp sticks or rocks.
Some all-terrain strollers even offer the option to switch between additional tyres for different conditions. Some all-terrain strollers have an swivel wheel that can be locked to provide stability, or left unlocked to permit greater maneuverability.
Certain all-terrain strollers have a lockable brake handbrake that is easier to reach by hand. This is superior to the traditional pedal that is located on the handlebars. This is a great option if you're a fan of steep hills.
There are many strollers that offer good off-road capability but aren't the most powerful. They also have large wheels and great suspension. They are generally less expensive than full-on all terrain buggy models, and can be suitable for short walks in the countryside or trips to the park.
A lot of strollers are suitable for infants with either an infant carrycot or a car seat that is suitable for infants. However, be aware that when pushing over bumps and dips the seats aren't completely flat. As per EU regulations, they have 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 more rounded angle for more comfort. This feature is available on the Lila XP All-Terrain Pushchair, that can be used in conjunction with a compatible Graco Infant Car Seat to create a three-in-one travel system.

Wheels
If you live in a rural area or take your child regularly on walks over rough ground an all-terrain pushchair is vital.

Most all-terrain pushchairs have air-filled tyres which offer excellent shock absorption and are ideal for rough terrain, but they are more susceptible to punctures than the solid EVA tyres used on city strollers that are light, therefore it's a good idea to invest in an repair kit with spare tubes and a pump alongside your pushchair. Some all-terrain models have foam tyres that are less susceptible to punctures but they're not as good at absorbing shock and may be harder to push than tyres filled with air.
