All Terrain Buggy

All terrain buggys are perfect for families with active children who want to go off road, onto bike trails, or even run a marathon! This new stroller from Mountain Buggy (a fellow Kiwi company now owned by Phil & Teds) has it all.

The large wheels make it easy to run on and the tyres that are filled with air reduce rolling resistance. Additionally, it comes with accessories like a hidden hood, and many pockets!

Comfort

All terrain pushchairs (linked website) are great for taking your child on an outing or a short excursion around town. They usually have suspension systems that absorb shocks to make the ride comfortable for both the child and the parent. They also typically have large wheels with puncture-proof tyres that provide great traction even on rough terrain. For those who have to sleep, or suffer from medical issues (e.g. epilepsy), the ability to recline their seat is a huge benefit.

The most effective All-Terrain buggy features depend on your preferences. If you plan to take your family on off-road adventures, a dune buggy may be a better choice. The Moab Mega Buggy, for example, is an engine that is inspired by racing and rock crawling in the desert. The Buggy's custom-designed long-travel suspension lets it soak up bumps and keep you comfortable on rough terrain.

A good All-Terrain pushchair should be able to traverse a wide range of surfaces like cobbles, grass uneven pavements, gravel tracks and dirt tracks. Some models feature an adjustable lockable wheel on the front to ensure stability while jogging on difficult surfaces. Others have a handlebar that is adjustable to fit different levels. Some models have a hand brake that helps keep your balance when running downhill or through rough terrain.

The UPPAbaby Ridge All-Terrain Buggy is a wonderful example. It was constructed and designed to withstand a variety surfaces and terrains. MFM reviewer Kath found the buggy to be simple to use and able handle a variety of terrains.

Safety

An all terrain buggy is a great choice for families with children who suffer from physical, mobility and behavioral disabilities. It can help them live an active lifestyle along with their siblings and help them to go out and about as a family. It is important to keep in mind that an all-terrain car isn't just a toy. It could be dangerous if not used in a proper manner.

Off-road vehicle accidents are common and can be fatal for young people. Although ATVs are designed to withstand the rough terrain, they can also be unstable and roll over if the operator loses control. ATVs do not have many of the safety features found in cars and trucks.

The most reliable ATVs have a high clearance from the ground, so that they avoid getting stuck in the brush, rocks and other debris. Some models have suspension and a locking rear wheel to ensure stability on uneven or unpaved surfaces. A front-swivel lockable wheel can be useful to turn in tight spots.

A brake system with a hand-operated brake is another important feature. It provides additional control when going up and down hills. This gives parents and caregivers extra confidence when they are navigating through difficult terrain. Some all-terrain buggies are equipped with an extended and large 50+ ultraviolet sun canopy, which shields their children from harmful UV rays as well as the sun.

A sturdy all-terrain buggy is one with large, durable wheels that are able to handle rough or bumpy terrain. The suspension makes it easier to push the buggy across rough terrains and make it more comfortable for your child. You can pick an all-terrain stroller with air-filled tyres to ensure the smoothest ride, but these are prone to punctures, therefore it's a good idea to carry an extra kit of tyres. All-terrain strollers for rough terrain are increasingly equipped with tyres that are filled with gel or foam.

MFM reviewer Kath tested the Mountain Buggy Urban Glide 2 on her family walk. She was pleased with the way it performed on any terrain including cobbles and dirt roads, and was easy to navigate over and up kerbs. The large rear wheels measuring 16 inches and lockable swivel front wheels are great for rough off-road conditions, as is the great suspension and the handbrake that twists.

Design

A well-constructed all-terrain buggy will have a sturdy suspension system that absorbs shocks of uneven surfaces. It will also have large wheels (preferably air-filled) that offer excellent traction, particularly on rough terrain and will have an adjustable front wheel that locks for stability when jogging, or for navigating difficult terrain. It should also have an adjustable handlebar that can accommodate parents of different heights, and a brake system that is reliable enough to stop the buggy once it begins to roll.

All-terrain buggies enable children with mild or moderate needs (physical or behavioural, or both) to be outdoors without being confined by a traditional wheelchair or pushchair. They can assist them to pursue a more active lifestyle and enhance their quality of life by allowing access to areas that might be difficult or impossible to reach on foot, like nature trails, country parks and woodlands, even the beach.

The Delta All-terrain pram Special Needs Buggy is a great choice for families who enjoy the outdoors. It comes with a brake operated by hand that gives you a little more control going downhill or over rough ground and an adjustable handlebar, as well as a spacious basket. It is easy to fold, and includes a sun canopy and strap pads that shield your child from the elements.

It is ideal for sandy terrains and can be used off-road, thanks to its wide, large tires. It also has a lower center of gravity, making it less likely to tip over than an ATV. The frame's protection can impede the driver's visibility, which could be a concern.

Some buggies that are all terrain travel system-terrain come with a reclined seat that allows children or adults to rest, nap or just relax. This is ideal for people with epilepsy who need to be in this position. Some buggies have additional postural support that can be added to the body of the rider, assisting them maintain their posture while on the go. Some models are equipped with LED visibility lights that recharge on the side of the chassis. These lights will allow you to be more visible while walking at night.
