All Terrain Buggy

A all-terrain buggy is ideal for active families that are looking to get off-road and into bike trails or run a marathon! The new stroller from Mountain Buggy (a fellow Kiwi company now owned by Phil & Teds) has it all.

Large wheels offer the ability to run comfortably and the tyres have been air-filled to decrease the resistance of rolling. It also comes with additional features such as a hidden hood and plenty of pockets!

These buggies have suspension systems to absorb shocks and make the ride more comfortable for parents and children.

For those who must sleep, or suffer from medical ailments (e.g. epilepsy), the ability to recline their seat is an advantage.

The best All-Terrain buggy features will differ based on your needs. A dune buggy could be a better choice if you wish to take your family on exciting off-road trips. The Moab Mega Buggy, for example, is a tube-based chassis that was inspired by racing and rock crawling in the desert. The Buggy has a custom-designed suspension that can absorb bumps and ensure you're comfortable on rough terrain.

A good All-Terrain GB Gold Pockit+ Ultra Compact Pushchair - Velvet Black should be able to negotiate many different surfaces including grass, cobbles, uneven pavements, gravel tracks and dirt tracks. Some models have wheels that lock in the front to provide stability when jogging on rough surfaces. Others have a handlebar that is adjustable to suit different levels. Some models have a hand brake to help you keep control when going downhill or over rough terrain.

The UPPAbaby Ridge is an excellent example of an All-Terrain buggy that has been designed and constructed to cope with a variety of surfaces and terrains. MFM reviewer Kath was impressed by its capacity to withstand a range of conditions and was able to use with her newborn and 3 year old. She said that "it is able to navigate well over cobbles, grass, tarmac, dirt tracks and kerbs, as well as rough sections of the path without slipping or causing enough mess." She also appreciated the fact that the tyres are filled with air rather than foam so they don't require being constantly pumped up. It also comes with a large basket with a zip-top cover to allow storage.

Safety

A all-terrain buggy is an ideal option for families with children with disabilities in mobility, physical or behavioural disabilities. It can help them live a more active lifestyle with their siblings and help them to go out and about as a family. It's important to keep it in mind that an all-terrain vehicle is not just a toy. It can be dangerous when not utilized in a safe manner.

Accidents involving off-road vehicles are common and can be deadly for young people. While ATVs can handle rough terrain, they are also unstable and could slide over if the operator loses control. In addition, ATVs typically do not have the safety features of cars and trucks.

The best ATVs are those with a large clearance from the ground to avoid getting stuck in the brush, rocks and other debris. Some models have a locking rear tire as well as suspension to ensure they are stable on uneven or unpaved surfaces. A lockable front wheel that is swivels is useful to turn in tight spots.

Another important feature is a brake system that has an integrated hand-operated brake to give you additional control when going up and down hills. This provides parents and caregivers with extra confidence when traversing difficult terrain. Certain all terrain buggies include a large, extendable 50+ UV sun canopy to protect their children from the sun and harmful UV rays.

A sturdy all-terrain vehicle will have large, puncture-proof tires capable of handling rough or bumpy roads. The suspension will make it easier to push the buggy on rough terrain and will make it more comfortable for your child. You can choose an all-terrain buggy that has air-filled tyres to ensure the smoothest ride, but they can be susceptible to punctures therefore it's a good idea to carry an extra kit of tyres. All-terrain strollers are also increasingly equipped with tyres that are filled with foam or gel.

MFM reviewer Kath tested the Mountain Buggy Urban Glide 2 during a walk with her family. She was impressed with how it handled every kind of terrain, including dirt tracks and cobbles, and was able to maneuver up and down kerbs. The rear wheel is 16 inches and lockable swivel for the forward wheel are great for off-roading. Also the suspension is fantastic and the twist handbrake.

Design

A quality all-terrain buggy will have an excellent suspension system that absorbs shocks from uneven surfaces. It will also have large wheels (preferably filled with air) that provide excellent traction, particularly on rough terrain and will have an adjustable front wheel that locks for stability during jogging or to navigate difficult terrain. It should also have an adjustable handlebar to accommodate parents of different heights, and a brake system that is reliable enough to stop the buggy when it starts rolling.

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

The Delta All-Terrain Special Needs Buggy is a great choice for families who enjoy the outdoors. It comes with a hand-operated brake that gives you a little more control going downhill or over rough terrain, an adjustable handlebar and an ample basket. It folds easily and comes with a sun canopy and strap pads that shield your child from the elements.

A dune buggy is a great choice for sandy terrains and can be used off-road without difficulty because of its large, wide tires as well as high ground clearance. It has a lower center of gravity and is less likely to tip over than an ATV. Its frame is protected, which can limit the driver's vision, which can be a concern.

Certain buggies with all-terrain tires have a reclined seat that allows adults or children to nap, sleep or rest. This is perfect for people with epilepsy who need to be in this position. Some buggies offer additional postural support that can be added to the body of the rider, helping them maintain their posture while on the go. Certain models have LED lights for visibility that are rechargeable on the chassis side. These lights will allow you to be more visible when walking at night.
