What All Terrain Buggy Will Be Your Next Big Obsession?

All Terrain Buggy

All terrain buggys are perfect for families who are looking to get off the road, onto bike trails, or run a full marathon! This new stroller from Mountain Buggy (a fellow Kiwi company now owned by Phil & Teds) has everything.

The large wheels make it easy to jog and the air-filled tyres reduce the resistance to rolling. It comes with other features like a concealed hood and a variety of pockets.

Comfort

All Terrain pushchairs are great for taking your child on walks or for a short excursion around town. These buggies have a suspension system to absorb shocks and make the ride more comfortable for both the child and the parent. These buggies also come with large wheels and puncture-proof tires which provide excellent traction in rough terrain. The ability to recline the seat could be a huge benefit for those who need to sleep or suffer from medical conditions that require them to be in a reclined posture (eg epilepsy).

The best All Terrain buggy features differ depending on your preferences. A dune buggy could be a better choice if you wish to take your family on adventurous off-road excursions. The Moab Mega Buggy, for example, features tubes-based chassis inspired by rock crawling and racing in the desert. The custom-designed suspension enables it to soak up bumps and ensure you're comfortable on rough terrain.

A good All-Terrain pushchair should be able to navigate a wide range of surfaces including grass, cobbles and uneven pavements, gravel tracks and dirt tracks. Some models will have an adjustable front wheel that locks to provide stability when jogging on difficult surfaces and some will feature a handlebar that can be adjusted to meet different sizes. Some models come with a hand brake to help you maintain control when going downhill or over rough terrain.

The UPPAbaby Ridge All-Terrain Buggy is a great example.  All-terrain pushchair  has been constructed and designed to withstand a variety surfaces and terrains. MFM reviewer Kath was impressed by its capacity to withstand a range of conditions and found it easy to use with her newborn and 3 year old, saying that "it navigates well over grass, cobbles and dirt tracks, tarmac and kerbs, as well as rough sections of the path without skidding or creating enough mess." She also liked the fact that the tyres are filled with air instead of foam, so they don't need to be pumped up regularly and it has a very spacious basket with a zip-top cover to allow storage.

Safety

A all-terrain buggy is an ideal option for families with children with physical, mobility or behavioural disabilities. It can encourage them to be more active with their siblings, and to spend time together as families. However, it's important to remember that an all terrain vehicle is not a toy and can be dangerous if not used correctly.

Accidents that involve off-road vehicles are frequent and can be dangerous for children. Although ATVs can be used to navigate rough terrains, they can be unstable and may slide over if the operator loses control. In addition, ATVs often lack the safety features found in cars and trucks.

The best ATVs are those that have a large clearance from the ground to avoid getting stuck in the brush, rocks and other debris. Some buggys come with a locking rear tire as well as suspension to keep them stable on uneven or unpaved terrain. A locking front swivel wheel is also useful to turn in tight spaces.

A brake system with a hand-operated brake is an additional essential feature. It provides additional control when going up or down hills. This gives parents and their carers extra confidence when navigating tricky terrain. Certain all-terrain buggies have a large and extendable 50+ UV sun canopy, which shields their little passengers from harmful UV rays and sun.

A sturdy all-terrain buggy will have large, puncture-proof wheels that can withstand bumpy or rocky paths. The suspension makes it easier to push the buggy over rough surfaces and also make it more comfortable for your child. All terrain buggys with air-filled tires provide the most comfortable ride. However they are also susceptible to punctures. It is therefore an excellent idea to have a spare set tyres. Foam or gel-filled tyres are now more popular in all-terrain strollers too.

One of our favourite all terrain buggies is the Mountain Buggy Urban Glide 2, which MFM reviewer Kath tested on family walks. She was impressed with how it could handle all types of terrain, even cobbles and dirt tracks, and was able to navigate up and down kerbs. The rear wheel is 16 inches and lockable swivel forward wheel are great for off-roading conditions. Also, the suspension is great and the twist handbrake is a great feature.

Design

A well-constructed all-terrain buggy will have a good suspension system that absorbs shocks caused by uneven surfaces. It will also have large (preferably air-filled wheels) that provide excellent grip, especially on rocky terrain. The front wheel should be lockable for stability when jogging and to maneuver through difficult terrain. It should also have an adjustable handlebar to accommodate parents of different heights, as well as a brake system that is strong enough to stop the buggy once it starts rolling.

All-terrain buggies permit children with moderate or mild needs (physical or behavioural) to be outdoors without being confined by a standard pushchair or wheelchair. They can encourage them to live a more active life and improve their overall quality of life by allowing them to access areas that are difficult or impossible to access on feet. They include nature trails, woodlands and country parks as well as the beach.

The Delta All-Terrain Special Needs Buggy is a great choice for families who love the outdoors. It comes with a movable handlebar as well as a large basket. an operator-operated break that allows you to have greater control when driving downhill or on rough terrain. It's also foldable and comes with sun canopy and strap pads that safeguard your child from elements.

A dune buggy excels in sandy terrains and can be used off-road with ease because of its large, wide tires as well as high ground clearance. It also has a lower center of gravity, which makes it less susceptible to tipping over than an ATV. However, its frame can restrict the driver's view and pose an issue for safety.

Certain buggies that are all-terrain have a recline seat that allows children to sleep or have a nap. They are suitable for those who suffer from medical conditions, such as epilepsy that require them to recline in a position. Some buggies have optional postural support that supports the body of the rider, helping them maintain their posture while traveling. Some models come with LED visibility lights that recharge on the side of the chassis. These lights can assist you be more visible at night.
