See The 10 Best All Terrain Strollers on Ezvid Wiki ►►
Fact #1. In the early 1700s, a landscape architect for the Duke of Devonshire constructed a miniature carriage to cart around the Duke's kids. The carriage was pulled by dogs, goats, miniature horses, or just about anything that fit the small harness he'd made. It's enough to make today's overprotective parents recoil in horror.
Fact #2. Throughout the 19th century, baby carriages remained the property of wealthy citizens. These carriages faced backwards compared to today's models. Their riders were turned around to face their parents and not the world in front of them. It's not entirely clear why the design was switched around.
Fact #3. What makes all terrain strollers superior to their standard counterparts is all in the design of the wheels. Not only are the wheels larger, but their tires are fatter and sometimes air-filled. This provides better traction in less curated environments. What's more, these strollers do away with the original stroller design's four wheels.
Fact #4. The lack of four wheels might seem like a problem at first. After all, don't cars have four wheels for a reason? They do, but that reason has more to do with steering and advanced traction solutions. As it turns out, a triangle is the stablest structure. Having three wheels on your stroller makes it less susceptible to toppling.
Fact #5. The last thing that separates an all terrain stroller from the rest of the pack is its suspension system. A car's suspension system integrates into the wheels and axles. This provides a smoother ride by concentrating the vibrations of an uneven road in the wheel base. It's the vehicular equivalent of rolling your feet while you walk. These strollers work on a similar principal, but they use a direct suspension. The basket seat itself is suspended within the frame.
