All-Terrain Buggy

An all-terrain buggy is ideal for those who want to go for walks in the countryside, parks or National Trust sites. They have a large, padded seat that can be adjusted to a more comfortable location and can accommodate car seats or a carrycot.

They also have good suspension so that they can handle the bumps and bonks of rough terrain without transferring that to your child. They typically have a decent size shopping basket and zip-up pockets on the hood.

Stability

Stability is the most crucial factor to consider when selecting an all-terrain stroller. It must be able to take on rough or bumpy terrain, and have an adequate suspension system to absorb shocks. Also, you want it to be easy to handle and have reliable brakes that allow you to slow the buggy easily when it stops on a slope or during transfer.

Aluminium is lighter and less susceptible to corrosion than steel. The number of wheels is another important aspect to consider. More wheels will decrease the weight of the all-terrain buggy, and make it more maneuverable over rough terrain However, you must ensure that the wheel size is appropriate for the type of terrain you intend to use it on. Smaller wheels are easier to maneuver over smooth surfaces, but may struggle off-road or on more difficult terrain. Larger wheels can handle rougher terrain, but they may also add extra weight, especially if the tyres are filled with air.

Good tyres can provide a smooth ride over any terrain, but they can be prone to punctures, so it is vital to carry a repair kit and ensure they are in good condition regularly. Certain all terrain pushchair-terrain pushchairs come with foam tyres, which are less prone to punctures, and provide a smoother ride although these can be heavy.

Some buggies that are all-terrain come with a front swivel that can be locked for use on rough surfaces, and unlocked to use indoors. This is a fantastic feature. It also helps to lower the centre of gravity and provide a more balanced seating position. If you don't want to use it, take off the wheels that swivel. This will decrease the weight of the buggy, making it easier for you to keep it in your car.

A special needs all-terrain buggy is a great way to help the user get out of their wheelchair and into a seat for an active lifestyle regardless of physical, mobility or behavioural disability. They can take you to places that a wheelchair or pushchair can't get to, such as parks, country trails and woodlands.

Comfort

All-terrain buggies are great for those who enjoy exploring off-road, going on country walks, or just need a stroller that's easy to maneuver and can withstand the cobblestones and uneven pavements. With light but sturdy frames and often just three wheels instead of four to allow for greater maneuverability there's no limit to where you can go.

Look for models with a suspension system that evenly disperses the impact of rough terrain, instead of just jolting the child around like a traditional pram or pushchair. Larger, air-filled tires - and an option to lock the front wheel if you're using your buggy to jog - are excellent for dealing with rough terrain because they provide better grip and can absorb bumps and shocks.

Make sure you have an adjustable handlebar that can be adjusted to fit parents of different heights and some kind of braking system to ensure the buggy is safe and stable when tackling slopes or speedy descents. You'll need a great storage system, such as an enormous basket with clever zipped pockets that will ensure your items are secure during your excursions.

Many buggies for all-terrain use can be used with infant car seats. Some come with bassinets to accommodate infants in the early years of their lives. Follow the directions to attach your car seat and pushchair. Review the instruction instructions to ensure your child's safety.

Bugaboo's Fox 5, and UPPAbaby's Ridge are just a few examples. These strollers come with all the features you would expect from a top-of-the-line stroller, such as fully-reclining seating and reversible options, but also off-road features, such as a lockable wheel, an impressive suspension system, a large basket and game-changing lights on both sides of the chassis.

Another great all-terrain option is the Mountain Buggy Duet. This is a tandem buggy designed for two disabled children or siblings, which is ideal for those who want to explore the outdoors and not be restricted in their outings.

The UPPAbaby Terrain comes with several drawbacks, among them a difficult 5-point harness to put on and remove that requires you to snap the individual pieces into place one at a stretch, and the handbrake's position, which MFM reviewer Kath found a bit difficult to control. It has a world-facing seat which reclines flat and an adequate size basket but it's not as easy to fold or steer like some of the other models in this group.

Safety

It is usually street-legal in many regions of the world, but it cannot be used on roads that have high speeds or in extreme weather conditions.

Off-road vehicles can be fun, but you should always be careful when riding them. Here are some tips for a safe ride:

Make sure you are aware of the terrain before driving the buggy. Look for rocks, mud or other obstacles that could cause you to lose control or damage the vehicle. You should also ensure that the buggy is suitable for the age and size of the operator. Adults should accompany novice riders to provide direction and assistance.

Check the condition of your all-terrain vehicle before using it. Check the tires, brakes and steering mechanism as well as the engine for any issues which could pose a danger to your safety. It is also a good idea to wear the appropriate gear for off-road driving, including long-sleeved shirts and pants. It is also important to keep a close eye on wildlife and keep an appropriate distance from them.

If you plan to carry an infant or toddler when you travel, consider an all-terrain stroller that is compatible with car seats. It will be simpler to take off and on the buggy with car seats and you can alter the foot-area enclosure to ensure it is secure for younger passengers.
