Some have swivel wheels on the front which allows you to move the buggy with ease in case you want to change direction or turn corners.<br /><br />Most all-terrain pushchairs feature air-filled tyres, which provide excellent shock absorption and are perfect for rough terrain, but they are more susceptible to punctures than the solid EVA tyres found on lightweight city strollers which is why you should invest in repair kits, spare inner tube and pump for your pushchair. Certain models come with foam tyres that are less likely to puncture, but might be more difficult to push.<br /><br />The brand new Bugaboo Fox 5 is a excellent example of a pushchair with both air and foam-filled tyres, an excellent suspension system, and large wheels that are puncture-proof at the rear. They are ideal for off-road and running (once your child is old enough). The model is also suitable for children from birth and can be used in conjunction with a carrycot or a lie-flat seat.<br /><br />The iCandy Peach All-Terrain is another alternative. It comes with large tyres, a single steering-wheel at the front, and huge tyres.

Look for a model with excellent all-terrain capabilities, durable suspension and large puncture-proof wheels, but built in the traditional pushchair style, with reversible seats and full carrycot options.<br /><br />UPPAbaby's well-known Ridge all-terrain pushchair is a perfect example of this; it offers excellent suspension, a simple fold, and a large 10kg basket but also has features for parents that are child-friendly, like an adjustable handlebar, a hand-operated brake on the right-hand side and a large, covered storage space. A hood that can be removed and then brushed down with cool soapy water is another helpful feature that can prevent mildew and mould from building up.<br /><br /><br /><br />If you are planning to take your all-terrain stroller off-road and on the road, you should consider air-filled tires instead of rubber grips. They'll provide a smoother ride over rough terrain, and make it easier to navigate through tight spaces. If you intend to use your all-terrain stroller for occasional jogging, be sure the front wheel can swivel or has a quick release feature to lock it in place to provide greater stability.<br /><br />To ensure that the fabric is in perfect condition, it's important to ensure that they are machine-washed. If not, a spot cleaning with warm soapy water and some warm water should be sufficient. Drying the fabric thoroughly outdoors will also help prevent the growth of mould and mildew.<br /><br />Most of our 3 wheeled all terrain pushchairs can be used from the time of birth. Choose models that have an all-flat seat that is fully lie-flat and a reversible rearrest that will allow you to use it from the time of birth all the way to when your child is about three years old. Many are compatible with car seat adaptors for a family of three. You can leave your car at home and instead use all-terrain strollers that have a fixed wheel for casual jogging or light strolling.
