Easy to maneuver
Unlike some all-terrain pushchairs, that typically have air-filled tyres (that are great for bumpy terrain but could be prone to punctures) a lightweight pushchair typically has tyres made of solid rubber that are easy to manoeuvre over any surface. They also typically feature a sturdy suspension that makes the ride more comfortable for your child. If you are looking for a buggy which can also function as an jogger, choose one with the front wheel that locks in place and a brake operated with just one hand.
If you're in search of a lightweight pushchair that can be used in both rural and urban areas, consider the iCandy Core. It has large, foam-filled tyres that can take on any terrain (according to MFM reviewer Tara, it performs well on forest paths that are open as well as gravel tracks and town cobbles) as well as parent-friendly features such as a reclining seat, a handlebar that can be adjusted as well as a large basket and a one-handed fold. MFM reviewer Becky finds that the handbrake is in a safe position to avoid hitting it accidentally. This is a great thing to consider for those traveling with children who is pushing the car.
Baby is comfortable and safe
The best pushchairs will have seats that are large, comfortable, and ventilated to ensure it is comfortable for your toddler or baby. The seat unit should be able to recline so your child can see the world around them and sit up. Typically, they come with an adjustable leg rest as well as a strap clasp, so that you can determine the most comfortable position for your child.

All-terrain strollers cost more than standard strollers. However they are a good option if you reside in rural areas, or often take your buggy off the road, they may be worth the investment. These can be difficult to maneuver in small spaces and shops due to their width.
