Right chaps, I'm after the pushchair equivalent of an MTB. There must be a few dads on here who have gone down that track before.

Basically, I want a three wheeler with suspension and either 20 or 16" wheels - that way I can fit the widest BMX knobblies and run at a low pressure to add more bump absorption.

The ability to pull it behind a bike is a bonus. There are loads of 3 wheelers out there but they all seem to be faux off-roaders, i.e. little wheels, and no suspension.

Cheers

Erm....it's a baby you have in there.....

There's probably a very good reason your spec'd buggy doesn't exist and the ones that "do" exist are all "faux" off-roaders with the intent to simply roll across leafy forest floors. rolleyes

Individually though the items I listed do exist. 20" wheels, but no suspension. Kiddie trailers with 20 inch wheels and suspension.

It's not like I want to take him down hilling (scratchchin although.....), just something I can take the young 'un out in when I take the dogs for a walk - forest tracks etc. The more bounce it has, the more comfortable he'll be. Just seems odd that what I want doesn't exist.
