Lightweight 3 Wheel Pushchair
This model is ideal if you are looking for a lightweight, 3-wheel pushchair that can withstand rough terrain. Its foam-filled never-flat tyres are easy to maintain and won't break easily.
If you purchase a separate car seat or adapters, it could also be able to accommodate one. It also has a big shopping basket.
Easy to manoeuvre
A lightweight pushchair is equipped with solid tires that are easy to maneuver on any surface. They also have great suspension to make the ride more comfortable for your baby. If you're looking for a buggy that could be used as a jogger, look for one with an swivel front wheel that locks in place and a brake control that is one-handed.
If you're looking for a lightweight pushchair that can be used in both rural and urban environments you should consider the iCandy core. It has large foam-filled tyres that are able to be used on any terrain (according to MFM reviewer Tara, it performs well on open forest trails, gravel tracks and market town cobbles) as well as child-friendly features such as a reclining seat, a handlebar that can be adjusted with a large basket, and a fold that can be folded with one hand. MFM reviewer Becky finds that the handbrake is in a good position to prevent kicking it in the wrong way. This is especially important for those traveling with a child who is pushing the car.
Baby is comfortable and safe
The best pushchairs come with an adjustable seat that is large, comfortable and ventilated for the comfort of your baby or toddler. The seat must be able to recline so that your child can see the world around them and sit up. They are usually equipped with adjustable straps and leg rests so you can find your child's most comfortable position.
You can also purchase all-terrain pushchairs that are designed for off-road walking. They will come with features like large puncture-proof wheels as well as excellent suspension which makes them a great option for walks in the countryside or cobbles in market towns. However, they may be heavier and bulkier than other pushchairs and can be difficult to fold up and fit into the car boot.
All-terrain pushchairs tend to be more expensive than standard pushchairs, but the extra weight and size could make them worth the investment especially if you live in a rural area or often take your buggy off-road. They are also tricky to maneuver in smaller shops and spaces, as they can be quite large.
One of the top all-terrain pushchairs available is the UPPAbaby Nipper V5. It is built with a sturdy chassis and air-filled tires that are impervious to punctures and has a superb suspension. This makes it perfect for long walks over multiple types of terrain and is also suitable for jogging when your child is old enough. It comes with a large storage basket and an easy-to-use and simple adjustable canopy with an open window.
Another all-terrain pushchair that is worth considering is the Baby Trend Sonar Cargo 3 Wheel Travel System. It comes with a large, integrated storage pouch at the back of the seat, as well as front and rear access to the spacious storage basket. Its modern, sleek design comes with an adult tray that can be utilized in either landscape or portrait mode. It also comes with two cups with large holders.
The only drawbacks to the UPPAbaby is that it's a bit complicated (the button and ring mechanism needs to be precisely timed) and that the footrest does not swivel. Apart from that, it is an excellent, lightweight pushchair that has a lot of the features that you would want in a pushchair that is all-terrain at the most affordable cost.
Easy to fold
If you're looking for a baby stroller that folds easily and fits inside a small boot, look no further than this little beauty. It's light and when folded, appears like an umbrella. This makes it ideal for travel - it comes with a carry bag. It's also useful at home because it has the same seating area, tray for parents and under-seat storage.

It's also simple to lock the front wheel and comes with foam-filled never-flat tyres.
