All-terrain

The best all-terrain strollers will feature big, robust wheels that can withstand bumpy terrain and a great suspension to ensure your child's ride is comfortable.
They're generally larger than standard pushchairs and could be bulky to store in your car boot. They are also pricier than other pushchairs, so do bear this in mind when looking around.
It is recommended to choose a model that has an adjustable bar that can be adjusted in height. 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 possibility of it slipping across the ground on sloping surfaces or going over hills. Some models have a fixed wheel at the front, which is more manageable when you're running. Some models come with an swivel wheels that can be locked into place to make it easier to navigate on uneven surfaces.
Tyre type is important too. Many all-terrain pushchairs use air-filled tyres. They provide smooth rides but could puncture easily. Some pushchairs come with the gel- or foam-filled tire, which is less likely to puncture. However, it does add weight to the pushchair.

Folding
Some of the most common pushchairs fold. They take up less space in your home and are easier to put into the car's boot which is ideal when you're in a tight space or have a small car boot, or plan to travel a lot as families.
There are a variety of folds, so pick one that best suits your lifestyle and preferences. For example some of the most recent buggy models have a groundbreaking auto-fold that collapses at the simple pressing. This frees your hands to juggle a baby, bags or other children, and is perfect for parents with back problems or recovering from C-sections.
Some models fold more conventionally with the seat in place. This means they're a bit bulkier and might not fit as tightly in your vehicle's boot. Some models will require two hands or more to fold. This could pose an issue for parents who need to hold their child while folding.
Whether you prefer an easy umbrella fold or a more complicated mechanism, it's worth checking that the stroller you select will be able to cope with the terrain you'll be riding it on. If you're planning to travel many cobblestones and gravel tracks, then tyres that are filled with air will give you more comfort.
If you'll be using your pushchair mostly on roads that are paved and pavements then most three-wheelers have moulded wheels that give your baby a smooth ride. But, if you'll be traveling with your baby off-road or on rough ground, go for one with a set of removable guards for mud and a quick-release front wheel to keep your pushing kit looking its best.
