Lightweight 3 Wheel Pushchair
If you’re looking for a lightweight 3-wheel pushchair that can be used on rough terrain this model is a good option. The tyres, which are filled with foam, never flat, won’t puncture and are easy to maintain.
It can also be used to accommodate a car seat with the purchase of a separate carrycot or adapters. It also comes with a large shopping basket.
Easy to Manoeuvre
In contrast to all-terrain pushchairs which typically come with air-filled tyres (that are great for bumpy ground but can be susceptible to punctures) A lightweight pushchair usually has tyres made of solid rubber that are easy to manoeuvre over any surface. They also typically feature a sturdy suspension that makes the ride more comfortable for your child. If you’re looking for a buggy that could be used as a jogger, search for one with an swivel front wheel that locks into place and one-handed brake control.
If you’re in search of a lightweight pushchair that can be used in both urban and rural areas look into the iCandy Core. It has large foam-filled tyres which can be used on any terrain (according to MFM reviewer Tara the model is able to be used on forest paths that are open as well as gravel tracks and town cobbles) and also offers parent-friendly features like a reclining seat, a movable handlebar with a large basket, and a one-handed fold. MFM reviewer Becky says that the handbrake’s location is perfect to avoid accidental kicking. This is a huge benefit if you’re travelling with a child who’s likely to be doing some of the pushing.
Comfortable for your baby
The best pushchairs come with an adjustable seat that is large, comfortable and ventilated to ensure the comfort of your baby or toddler. They should also be able recline so that your child can sit up and observe the world around them. They are usually equipped with adjustable straps and leg rests so that you can find the most comfortable position.
You can also purchase strollers with all-terrain design that are made for off-road walking. These will have features like large puncture-proof wheels as well as an excellent suspension which makes them an excellent option for walks in the countryside or market town cobbles. They may be larger, heavier and harder to fold into the boot.
All-terrain pushchairs tend to be more expensive than standard pushchairs However, the larger and heavier weight can be worth the cost when you reside in a rural area or often take your buggy off-road. They aren’t easy to maneuver through small spaces and in shops because of their size.
One of the most durable all-terrain pushchairs available is the UPPAbaby Nipper V5. It comes with a sturdy chassis, tyres with air-filled which are almost impossible to puncture, and a fantastic suspension. This makes it ideal for long, strenuous walks across a variety of types of terrain and is also suitable for jogging once your child is old enough. It comes with a large storage basket as well as a simple, easy-to-use adjustable canopy that has the ability to peek out.
Another all-terrain pushchair that is worth considering is the Baby Trend Sonar Cargo 3-Wheel Travel System. It has a large integrated storage compartment on the rear of the seat, along with front and rear access to the large storage basket. Its modern, sleek design comes with a parent tray that can be used in portrait or landscape mode. It also has two large cups holders.
The only negatives to the UPPAbaby is that it’s a bit fiddly to fold (the button-and-ring mechanism needs to be timed just right), and that the footrest doesn’t rotate. This is a fantastic light pushchair with all the features you’d expect in a pushchair that can be used on all terrains.
