If you're planning to run with your stroller, it's worth taking a test drive to see how you find the ride and how easy it is to control.

The best all-terrain strollers feature large, sturdy wheels that can withstand bumpy terrain and excellent suspension to make your child's journey comfortable.

They are typically larger than standard pushchairs and can be bulky to fit into your car boot. They also tend to be more expensive than other pushchairs, so do bear this in mind when shopping around.

Find a model that has a handlebar that can be adjusted in height that can be used in the event that you and your partner are of different heights. You should also consider whether you want a wrist strap, which minimises the chance of it rolling away on sloping ground or slipping over hills. Some models come with a fixed wheel on the front, which makes it easier to control when you're jogging. Others come with a swivel rear wheel that can be locked into place to allow you to maneuver on uneven surfaces.

Tyre type is important too. Many all-terrain strollers are equipped with air-filled tires that provide a smooth ride, but they can puncture. Some come with a foam or gel-filled tyre, which are less prone to puncture, but can increase the weight of the pushchair.

Folding

A lot of the most sought-after pushchairs fold. They require less space in your home and are more convenient to put into the trunk of your car, making them perfect when you're in a tight space or have a small car boot or are planning on traveling a lot as a family.

There are many kinds of folds. So, pick one that best suits your lifestyle and preferences. Some of the latest buggys come with an auto-fold feature, which collapses by itself with just one button. This allows you to hold your baby, other children or bags with both hands. It is also ideal for parents with back problems or who are recovering from C-sections.

Some models are designed to fold more traditionally, with the seat still on, which means they'll weigh a bit more and won't be as comfortable to fit in your car boot. Certain models require two hands or more to fold. This could be an issue for parents who need to hold their child while folding.

It doesn't matter if you prefer a simple umbrella fold or a more complex mechanism, it's worth checking that the model you pick will be able to cope with the terrain you'll be riding it on. For example, if you're going to be on lots of cobblestones and gravel tracks then make sure the wheels are made of air-filled tyres for the most comfortable ride for your baby.

If you'll be using your pushchair mainly on pavements and paved roads then most three wheeled buggies-wheelers have moulded wheels that will give your child a smooth ride. But, if you'll be traveling with your baby off-road or over rough terrain opt for a model with a set of removable mudguards and/or a quick-release front wheel to keep your pushing kit looking its best.
