There's a wide selection of strollers available, all designed to meet the needs of different people. Some are specifically designed for multiple infants (twins or a smaller age gap) while others are designed for singletons and others are designed for children from the age of four years. Some of these products have safety guidelines that must be followed. For instance, any child seat or cot that is carried must be secured securely and should not extend more than 20cm from the frame's edge.

The best all-terrain pushchairs will feature large, sturdy wheels that can withstand bumpy ground and have a good suspension to make the journey more comfortable for your baby.
These are usually larger than standard pushchairs and may be difficult to fit into the boot of your car. They are also more expensive than other pushchairs, so keep this in mind when you are shopping.
You should look for one that has adjustable height bars. This will be beneficial if you and/or your partner have different heights. You should also consider whether you'd like a wrist strap, which reduces the chance of it rolling off on sloping ground or crossing hills.

Others have a swivel front wheel that can be locked into position to assist you in maneuvering on uneven surfaces.
The type of tyre you choose is equally important. A lot of all-terrain strollers have air-filled tires, which offer a smooth ride, but are also prone to puncturing. Some pushchairs come with gel or foam-filled tire that is less likely to puncture. However, it does add weight to the pushchair.

This allows you to carry a baby bags or other children, and is ideal for parents who have back issues or recovering from C-sections.
Some models are designed to fold more traditional with the seat on, so they'll be heavier and may not fit as well in your car boot. Some models require two or more hands to fold, which could be a problem when you want to do it whilst holding onto your child.
It doesn't matter if you prefer an easy umbrella fold or a more complex mechanism, you should ensure that the model you pick can cope with the terrain you'll be riding it on. If you're planning on navigating lots of cobblestones or gravel tracks, then air-filled tyres will offer a more comfortable ride.
If you'll use your pushchair mostly on paved roads and pavements the majority of three-wheelers have moulded wheels which will give your child a smooth ride.
