The majority of them are suitable from birth and come with a lie-flat baby seat or a baby carrycot. These vehicles also have tyres that do not flatten, usually comprised of foam.

Suspension

If you don't want go as extreme as an all-terrain stroller, there are plenty of strollers that offer excellent - but not ultimate - off-road capability, with excellent suspension and big wheels. These are usually less expensive than full-on all terrain buggy models, and can work well for short strolls in the countryside or trips to the park.

A lot of strollers are suitable for babies, with either an infant carrycot or a car seat that is suitable for infants. Be aware that these seats won't lay flat when pushing over bumps or dips. As per EU regulations, they only have to meet minimum requirements of reclined angles of approximately 150 degrees. Graco has solved this issue with its new 'comfitech seat suspension' that lets the seat recline to a more comfortable angle for a bit more comfort. This feature is available on the Lila XP All-Terrain Pushchair, which can be paired with a compatible Graco Infant Car Seat to create a 3 wheel jogger-in-1 travel system.

A majority of all-terrain pushchairs lack an reversible seat, however the models like the Oyster 3, Venicci Tinum and egg 2 do have this option and both offer an excellent level of off-road performance and have an adequate weight limit for a 2 year old. There are many pushchairs classified as all-rounders, like the iCandy Pear and Bugaboo Cameleon that are able to cope with the rough terrain found in park or National Trust places but don't offer the off-road capabilities of genuine all-terrain pushchairs.

Wheels

If you live in a rural area or regularly take your baby for walks on rough terrain an all-terrain pushchair becomes essential.

Others have swivel front wheels that let you maneuver the buggy more easily when you are changing direction or turning corners.

All-terrain strollers have air-filled tyres that are excellent for dealing with rough terrain. However they are more prone to punctures than the solid EVA tyres used on lighter city strollers. It is therefore recommended to purchase a repair kit and spare inner tube to go with your pushchair. Some all-terrain models have foam tyres that are less susceptible to punctures, but aren't as effective in absorbing shock and may feel harder to push than tyres with air filled.

The brand new Bugaboo Fox 5 is a great example of a child's pushchair that has both foam-filled and air-filled tyres. It also has an excellent suspension system, and large wheels that are puncture-proof at the rear. They are ideal for off-road and jogging use (once your child is old enough).

It also has features for parents that are child-friendly, like an adjustable handlebar, a hand-operated brake on the right and a large, covered storage space. The hood can be removed, and washed with cool soapy-water to avoid mould or mildew.

If you're planning on driving your all-terrain pushchair off road it's a good idea to choose air-filled tyres instead of those with grips made of rubber. These will provide an easier ride on rough terrain and will make it easier to maneuver in tight spaces. If you plan to use your all-terrain pushchair for occasional jogging, be sure the front wheel is able to swivel or has a quick release feature to lock it in place to provide greater stability.

It is important to verify that the pushchair fabrics can be machine washed to maintain them in perfect condition. If not, a spot clean with warm water and a bit of soap gentle enough should be sufficient. Drying the fabric completely outdoors will also help prevent mildew and mould from forming.
