If you're looking for a buggy to take on walking in the woods or a stroll on the high street, an all-terrain pushchair with a great maneuverability will be the perfect choice. These models usually have large wheels and offer impressive suspension for a smooth ride over rough terrain and bumps.

Most are suitable for newborns and include a seat that can be placed flat or a newborn carrycot. They are also typically fitted with foam-filled never-flat tyres to reduce maintenance.

Suspension

A genuine all-terrain pushchair should have a good suspension that is designed to be smooth and comfortable on rough terrain. This will help your child to feel comfortable and at ease. The wheels are usually large and puncture-proof to protect against injuries from sharp rocks or sharp sticks.

The larger tyres will also enable you to tackle more challenging terrains with ease and some pushchairs that are all-terrain even offering the option of different tyres you can switch between to suit different conditions. Depending on what kind of terrain you want to explore Some all-terrain pushchairs come with a swivel front wheel which can be locked for stability or unlocked for more maneuverability when needed.

A few all-terrain strollers include an adjustable brake handbrake that locks and is easy to reach with your free hand. This is more convenient than an ordinary pedal on the handlebars. This is a great feature to have in case you prefer to take on steep hills, especially with children in the seat and lots of shopping bags tucked away under!

If you don't want to go as extreme as an all-terrain pushchair, there are plenty of strollers available that offer excellent - but not ultimate - off-road capabilities, and have great suspension and big wheels. They are generally cheaper than full-on all-terrain buggy models, and can be suitable for short strolls in the countryside or trips to the park.

Many of these pushchairs can be used from birth, either with a carrycot or a newborn-ready car seat. However, be aware that when it comes to pushing over bumps and dips, the seats won't lie completely flat. As per EU regulations they only have to meet minimum standards for a reclining position of about 150deg. Certain brands, such as Graco have gotten around this problem with their new "comfitech" suspension in the seat that allows the seat to recline at a slightly more flatter angle for a little more comfort. This is available on the Lila XP all-terrain pushchair which can be used in conjunction with an appropriate Graco infant car seat to create a 3 in 1 travel system.
