All-Terrain Buggy Review

All-terrain pushchairs are a great choice if you like to walk on different terrains and don't care if it gets muddy. Many come with large wheels and suspension, making them ideal for rougher terrain than regular pushchairs.

Make sure that the buggy has tyres filled with air and a good suspension. Make sure that the front wheels lock, as this will improve stability when jogging.

Out and About Swift (tm)

A good All-terrain pram (this link) is a must if love forest walks or more adventurous off-road adventures. These strollers are ideal for running with your child and are able to handle rough terrain and kerbs better than regular pushchairs. These models tend to be slightly sturdier than lightweight compact pushchairs and might have different tyres to cope with rough surfaces. Some models have an adjustable front wheel that is swivelable, and others - especially those designed for running have a brake on the handlebar.

The iCandy Swift has an excellent reputation in the all-terrain buggy market, and MFM reviewer Kath discovered that it "navigates well over bumpy pavements, grass, cobbles and dirt tracks and can handle the slope of kerbs that are steep". It also offers an easy ride for your child thanks to its suspension and the large 16'' air-filled rear wheels. Additionally, the ability to lock the front wheels (on both three and four-wheel versions of the buggy) is a really handy feature for those occasions where you have to take on tricky terrain or to get up or down a soaring step.

Other features to look for in an all-terrain vehicle are the height adjustment of the swivel seat and the suspension that can be raised to accommodate a car or carrycot seat. It is also important to check if the tyres can be replaced for puncture-proof ones, which will help you navigate rough terrain and decrease the chance of losing a spare in the middle of nowhere!
