Best All Terrain Stroller
If you love going for an exercise, hike on trails that are rocky or stroll through parks with grass, then an all terrain stroller is the best option. You will want large, sturdy tires with a suspension that can withstand the tumultuous terrain.
All terrain strollers are designed to help inspire a love of the outdoors in your child from an early age. We assess mobility and ease of use, including the ability to easily access the basket, engage brakes and insert and remove the infant seat (where applicable).
All-terrain pushchair Pushchairs And Prams
If you're planning on carrying a stroller around for a long time, it must be able to do more than transport your child from point A to point B. Strollers grow faster than rabbits. A stroller that can handle your entire family's outings is a wise investment.

The lightweight PIPA Urbn car seat is also available in part of a set for a complete travel solution. The price is higher than our other picks but our tester said that it was worth it because it's tough and can withstand even the most strenuous outings.
Three-wheelers are an excellent choice for a stroller that is light and can also handle more rough terrain. The Thule Shine is a good option, and we've called it the previous winner in this category. It's more expensive than our other picks but it's a solid product and has many features (car seat compatible! Dual cup holders! This makes it a worthwhile purchase.

The BOB Sport Utility
The BOB Sport Utility is the best stroller for parents who want to step away from the main roads and exercise. This jogging stroller comes with pneumatic knobby wheels that are perfect for trail runs, and a handbrake that lets you to control the downhills. It also features a state-of the-art suspension system, a two-step folding design and a huge cargo basket. It can also be used with a car seat for your infant by purchasing the appropriate adapters.
The main flaw of this jogging stroller is its weight and dimensions when folded. It weighs 25 pounds and folds down to 17,850 cubic inches, which is the standard for this group. The size of its footprint makes it unsuitable for tight turns and narrow trunk space. It does however have small handles on the back of the storage bin that can be pulled to fold the stroller into a compact, flat position.
Despite its size, this stroller is easy to maneuver. The front wheel is equipped with the ability to lock it so that you switch it from normal to locked running mode, and the handlebar can be adjusted in height for different heights of parents. It also has a wide seat that can recline nearly flat, and it has a large vinyl peek-a-boo window that is easy to open and close.
The Sport Utility also scored a 9 out of 10 for its impressive quality. It features a sturdy frame made of aluminum, with tight connections, no rough edges, and no weak stitching. It also has adjustable shocks which help with smooth-rolling performance.
The Sport Utility stroller, like the other BOBs in this review has optional car seat adapters. This allows you to use it with a variety of infant car seats. In our tests, it took us about 5:24 hours to put together the stroller from unpacking it to being ready to run. It was simple enough to do, but you'll require an Philips head screwdriver to complete the task. The manual included is easy to follow and well-organized. However, it's an excellent idea to have one on hand just in case.
The Baby Trend Expedition
Created with style, safety features and ease of use in mind, this jogger features parents' tray with 2 cup holders, a covered storage and a swing away child's tray with two cup holders. The adjustable canopy, with its peek-aboo windows and a wide ergonomically-designed handle, provide comfort for both parents. The locking front swivel can be locked for jogging and unlocked to stroll. The large storage basket is perfect to store the essential travel items.
Consumer Reports' Strollers test program confirms that the Baby Trend Expedition Jogger is an excellent value for its cost and is better than many of its competitors across a variety of categories. This includes the ease of using the 5-point harness folding and unfolding as well as adjusting the backrest. engaging the wheel brakes and removing the infant car seat and installation (only for compatible models). It's a basic design, with a single-handed recline that's deep enough for napping. The canopy cover with the ratcheting mechanism can be difficult. It takes about 8 minutes to set up, and the instructions are confusing with multiple languages and confusing illustrations.
The only drawback for this jogger is its absence of suspension. This means that the ride could be more bumpy than other all-terrain strollers. This can be uncomfortable for children who are younger, especially if their nap is about to begin. It does have tires that are filled with air, but they don't have as much shock absorption as the rubber wheels you find on more expensive strollers.
This is a great choice for those who don't intend to run frequently however want to move over gravel and grass without difficulty and without problems with curbs, or other obstacles. It's also a great option for families with limited space as it folds into the size of a compact size. It is lighter than many of the other joggers we've tested, and will be tucked away in places that full-size strollers cannot.
It's also simpler to lift and move than the larger joggers we've tested. This is important if it's something you lift out and into your car trunk on a regular or if you are always moving.
The Nipper Sport V4
Nipper Sport V4 is the best jogger for any terrain. This new version of Out 'n' About's three-wheeled running stroller is designed for jogging. It features large pneumatic 16'' alloy tyres that can withstand the most challenging tracks and paths. The Nipper is light and compact making it easy to carry and fold.
This pushchair has a number of features that make it suitable for all kinds of terrain, including front suspension and the handlebar brake. It also comes with an adjustable recline seat with a removable quilted seat liner, as well as a five-point safety harness and a hinged bumper bar. It's also compatible with travel systems, allowing you to use it with the Cybex Maxi-Cosi, Maxi-Cosi, or Be-Safe infant car seat.
Another fantastic feature of this buggy is its large front wheel, which can help ensure an easy ride for your child. This is especially important when tackling difficult terrain because it allows the buggy to better track and glide more easily over dips and bumps. In addition to this, the Nipper Sport is also very easy to drive. The handlebar features an ergonomic design and a single-pedal easy-lock brake with a variable steering. The buggy is also very easy to fold, and comes with clear step-bystep instructions and illustrations in the user's manual.
The Nipper Sport is suitable for children up to the age of six months, and can be used with a newborn due to its infant insert built-in. However, it is not recommended for use with babies less than six months old since the harness of the seat isn't strong enough to secure them.
Another issue with this model is its lack of a storage basket under the seat. The small shopping bag located at the rear of the seat isn't big enough to hold a large changing bag. It is, however, extremely easy to unfold and close, with just two hands required to release the plastic catches on the opposite side of the lower frame. The red handlebar has an additional lock that can be retracted using just one hand.
