Lightweight 3 Wheel Pushchair
This model is ideal if you are seeking a light, 3-wheel pushchair that is able to handle rough terrain. Its foam-filled, never-flat tyres won't puncture and are easy to maintain.
If you buy a separate car seat or adapters, it can also be able to accommodate one. It comes with a large shopping basket.
Easy to manoeuvre
Contrary to some all-terrain pushchairs which often feature air-filled tyres (that are great for bumpy ground but can be prone to punctures) a lightweight pushchair typically has tyres with solid tread that are easy to maneuver across any surface. They also tend to have a great suspension, which makes the ride more comfortable for your child. If you're looking for a buggy which can also be used as an jogger, choose one with an front wheel that locks in place and a brake that is operated by one hand.
The ICandy Core is a light compact pushchair that is ideal for both urban and rural settings. It has large, foam-filled tires that can be used on any terrain. According to MFM reviewer Tara it's a great choice for open forest paths gravel roads, as well as market town cobbles. It also comes with features for parents like reclined chairs and a handlebar that can be adjusted, as well as an ample basket. MFM reviewer Becky finds that the handbrake is placed in a suitable position to prevent kicking it by accident. This is an excellent feature if you're travelling with a toddler who will probably be doing some pushing.
Comfortable for your baby
The best pushchairs will have an adjustable seat that is roomy, padded and ventilated to make it comfortable for your toddler or baby. They should also be able to recline so that your child can sit up and observe the world around them. Often they will include an adjustable leg rest and strap clasps, so that you can determine the most comfortable position for your child.
You can also buy all-terrain strollers that are designed for off road walking. These will have features like large puncture-proof wheels as well as excellent suspension which makes them an excellent option for rural walks or market town cobbles. They may be larger, heavier and harder to fold into a boot.
All-terrain strollers are more expensive than standard strollers. However they are a good option if you reside in rural areas or often take your buggy off the main roads, they may be worth the cost. They can also be tricky to navigate in smaller shops and spaces, as they can be quite wide.
