Easy to manoeuvre
Unlike some all-terrain pushchairs, which typically come with air-filled tyres (that are great for bumpy terrain but could be susceptible to punctures) the typical lightweight pushchair has tyres made of solid rubber that are easy to manoeuvre across any surface. They also typically have great suspension to make the ride more comfortable for your child. If you're looking for a buggy that can also function as a jogger, pick one with a front wheel that locks into place and a brake that can be operated with just one hand.

Baby is comfortable and safe
The most effective pushchairs have an adjustable seat that is spacious, padded and ventilated for the comfort of your infant or toddler. They must also be able to recline so that your child can sit up and observe the world around them. Typically, they include an adjustable leg rest and strap clasps, so that you can choose the most comfortable position for your child.
3 wheeler pushchairs can also purchase all-terrain strollers that are designed for off-road walking. These pushchairs have big tires that are puncture-proof and have excellent suspension. They are ideal for walking on roads that are rural or cobblestones in markets. However, they can be heavier and more bulkier than other pushchairs and can be difficult to fold and fit in the car boot.

They are also tricky to maneuver through smaller spaces and shops as they can be quite large.
One of the most durable all-terrain pushchairs is the UPPAbaby Nipper V5. It comes with a sturdy frame with air-filled tires that are almost impervious to punctures and fantastic suspension. It is perfect for long walks over a variety of terrains, and can also be used to run when your child is older.

The Baby Trend Sonar Cargo 3-Wheel Travel System is another stroller that can be used on all terrains and is worth a look.

The only downsides to the UPPAbaby are that it's a bit fiddly to fold (the button-and-ring mechanism has to be set at the right time) and the footrest doesn't swivel. Apart from that, it is a really good lightweight pushchair that has many of the features that you would want in an all-terrain pushchair at an affordable price.
