All Terrain Push Chair

An all terrain push chair is a great option for parents who are likely to get their little one covered in dirt and mud, particularly if they enjoy walking. These push chairs also have larger wheels and puncture-proof tires.

Find a pushchair with a seat that reclines flat and can be used from birth using the use of a seat unit or carrycot (not suitable for sleeping overnight). It should have a view panel as well as an extended hood.

Features

The all-terrain pushchair is exactly what it states on the tin - it's designed to tackle rough ground and typically boasts excellent suspension, large wheels and puncture-proof tyres. You may think they're merely for National Trust walks or woods walks, but that's not the situation. A lot of these models come with the look of a traditional pushchair and come with reversible seating options and a full carrycot option, and even fabrics that hint at fashion.

The key characteristics to look out for are the front wheel that rotates and locks into a straight position, which can be useful when you're on bumpy tracks. Also, consider models with an adjustable handbrake on the handlebar so you can slow down on steep slopes. This is a great feature to have when you reside in areas with hills or frequently take long walks with a child on the bike.

If you are looking for an all-terrain stroller make sure it has a handlebar that can be adjusted in the height. This will make it easier to maneuver if parents and children are of different heights. You may want to look for a wrist strap that will minimize the chance of your pushchair crashing on cliff edges or slopes.

All-terrain strollers weigh a lot more than standard strollers. If you are concerned about weight then look for models that can be folded into a small, compact boot. These models are often made from washable fabrics, which are easy to clean and quick to dry.

Be sure to look for models that have lockable front wheels and foam-filled tyres that never need airing (a huge advantage for those who plan on doing some jogging with your child in the near future). Often all-terrain pushchairs have bigger rear wheels than their city pushchair counterparts because this helps them cope well with bumpy, off-road terrain. Additionally, a wider handlebar can help you maintain the control on rough terrain.

Certain all-terrain strollers come with handbrakes. This is helpful to stop in a slope with your child in the pushchair, and shopping in the basket. Certain all-terrain strollers have a reclined seat that can be lowered into an upright position for your toddler or child.

True all-terrain pushchairs are often quite large and bulky when folded. There are however great compact fold options on the market from brands like Mountain Buggy and Thule. Look for models that permit you to put the front frame and wheel section underneath the main body. This will decrease the overall size for easier storage.

Some all-terrain strollers, such as the iCandy Core are designed to be a standard pushchair that can be transformed into a stroller that can be used all terrain for woodland walks or market town walks. It has a 'hammock seat design, which means that the fabrics are attached directly to the chassis, and not connected to frames that are separate from. This allows for a greater weight limit, improved directional handling and a more comfortable ride.

Safety

If you're looking for a stroller that can handle rough terrain, an all-terrain pushchair may be the best all terrain buggy option.

Some have tyres with foam-filled, never flat tyres that are that are designed to resist puncture.

These features can make all-terrain pushchairs more comfortable for both parents and children. However, they do tend to be more heavy and wider than other pushchairs all terrain. They aren't easy to maneuver in tight spaces or in aisles of shops. The larger rear wheels on some all-terrain strollers can make them difficult to maneuver up and down escalators, stairs and other steps.

A car seat for infants or carrycots can be attached to an all-terrain stroller. This is an crucial safety feature. All-terrain strollers come with an adapter universal to infant carriers.

A true all-terrain stroller has been designed to handle rough tracks or paths that are rutted and forest trails effortlessly.

Certain of these all terrain pushchairs have adjustable legrests and shade features to shield your child from the sun.

Storage

All terrain pushchairs are usually much bulkier than regular buggies. Make sure you have the space in your boot to hold one when it's not in use. Make sure the chassis is able to be lifted easily to and from the car boot.

Storage is a further feature. All-terrain strollers typically have large shopping baskets beneath the seat. They also have a handy zip pocket on the hood and smaller mesh pockets on the handlebar. There could even be a parent tray to serve drinks or snacks.

The design of the handle is a crucial factor, too. Look for ergonomic handles that feel comfortable in your hands and a grip that's the ideal size for your height. Some brands have one hand-operated brake that is simpler to access and can be operated by using just one hand. Others have a dual-lock brake that is more secure and easier to control using two fingers.

A majority of all-terrain pushchairs come with adjustable leg rests to help keep your child in a comfy position. You can also adjust the recline according to your baby’s mood. You can also opt for a flat-bed for infants or toddlers that allow them to lay on their backs.
