If you're seeking a stroller to tackle woodland walks or strolls along the high-street, a pushchair that is all-terrain with excellent manoeuvrability will be an ideal choice. These models usually have large wheels and have a powerful suspension for a smooth ride over bumps and rough ground.

Many are suitable for babies and include seats that can be set in a flat position or a carrycot for newborns. They are also typically fitted with foam-filled never-flat tyres to reduce maintenance.

Suspension

A true all terrain pushchair will have a good suspension that is specifically designed to be smooth on rough terrain and help your child to feel comfortable and relaxed. The wheels are usually big and puncture-proof to prevent injuries from sharp rocks or sharp sticks.

If you don't wish to go as far as an all-terrain pushchair, there are many strollers that have very good - but not ultimate - off road capability with great suspension and large wheels. They tend to be less expensive than full-on all terrain buggy options and will still work well for short walks in the countryside or trips to the park.

Many of these pushchairs can be used starting at birth, either with an infant carrycot or a baby-ready car seat. Be aware that these seats won't be able to lie flat when you push over bumps or dips. According to EU regulations, they need to meet minimum standards of an incline of about 150 degrees. Certain brands, such as Graco, have overcome this with their new 'comfitech' in-seat suspension which allows the seat to recline at a slightly flatter angle to provide a bit more comfort. This is available on the Lila XP all-terrain pushchair which can be used in conjunction with a compatible Graco infant car seat to create a 3 wheel pushchair off road- in 1 travel system.
