Whether you're looking for a pushchair for walks in the woods or strolls along the high-street, a pushchair that is all-terrain with a great maneuverability will be a great fit. These models usually have large wheels and have a powerful suspension for smooth riding over rough terrain and bumps.
The majority are suitable for babies and include a lie-flat seat or a newborn carrycot. They also have foam-filled never-flat tyres to reduce maintenance.
Suspension
A genuine all-terrain pushchair will have a sturdy suspension that is designed to be extra smooth and comfortable on rough terrain. This will help your child feel more relaxed and at ease. The wheels are usually large and puncture-proof to prevent injury caused by sharp rocks or sharp sticks.
The larger tyres can allow you navigate more difficult terrains with ease and some pushchairs that are all-terrain even offering additional tyres that can be switched between for different conditions.

If you don't wish to go as extreme as an all-terrain stroller, there are plenty of strollers on the market which offer excellent - but not the ultimate off road capability with great suspension and large wheels. These are usually cheaper than full-on all-terrain buggy models and can be suitable for short strolls in the countryside or trips to the park.
A lot of these pushchairs can be used from birth, either with a carrycot or a newborn-ready car seat. Be aware that these seats won't lie flat when pushing over bumps or dips.

This feature is available on the Lila XP All-Terrain Pushchair, which can be paired with a compatible Graco Infant Car Seat to create a 3 wheeler pushchairs-in-1 travel system.
