Strollers
There are many strollers to choose from that are designed to meet a specific need. Some are designed for multiple infants (twins or a small age gap) and others are suitable for singletons and the rest are designed for children as young as of four years. Many of them have safety guidelines that must be adhered to For instance, any child seat or carrycot must be secured and must not be more than 20cm away from the edge of the frame.
Three wheel pushchairs usually have a single front wheel making them more maneuverable than other models. This makes them perfect for narrow aisles and streets in shops where space is at a premium. Consider an all-terrain stroller when you intend to utilize it in a variety of environments. With tyres that are tough, they can tackle bumps and rough terrain more quickly than a regular stroller. Some strollers come with suspensions to help make the ride more comfortable.
Some all-terrain buggies are also designed to be used as jogging buggies. This is ideal for parents who want to stay active and enjoy a brisk stroll or run with their child in tow. These pushchairs have a larger frame, tyres and wheels than a stroller. They may also come with an adjustable handlebar and a handbrake.
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 it's easy to manage. You'll have to decide if you prefer air-filled or foam-filled tyres. Air-filled tyres tend to be more durable, but they are also more prone to punctures. You'll require a repair kit to keep with you.

Joggers
If you're a running enthusiast (or buggy runner) or would like to become, you will need a pushchair with three wheels that is specifically designed for running. They have bigger wheels than standard strollers, and a suspension designed specifically to cope with bumps and uneven sidewalks. They are also more heavy and bulkier than traditional strollers, which makes them unsuitable for use in everyday situations unless you plan to go on an occasional run.

Other joggers that are suitable can be used for strolling through the city, such as the UPPAbaby Ridge Stroller Jake or the Baby Jogger Jet City Elite 2. These have air-filled tyres that provide a smooth ride but are prone to punctures and you'll need a spare. Some models also come with adjustable suspension or heavy-duty suspension to make the ride smoother on rough terrain.
Based on the age of your child, you may be able to move from using a carrycot or infant car seat to one of these strollers without too much difficulty. However, it's best to talk to your pediatrician first, especially if they recommend waiting until your child is at least six months old.
Another option is to purchase the jogger and then put to it a car seat adapter. For instance the phil&teds Sport buggy can be converted into a 2-in-1 travel set with an infant car seat, so you can take baby on runs or walks from day one.

All-terrain
If you love to wander off the beaten track, live in a rural location or want to go jogging with your child, an all-terrain pushchair may be a good choice for you. The best all-terrain strollers have large, rugged wheels that can withstand bumpy terrain and excellent suspension to make your child's trip comfortable.
They're usually bigger than standard pushchairs and can be difficult to store in the boot of your car. They are also more expensive than other pushchairs so keep this in mind when looking around.
Find a model that has adjustable height handlebars that can be used when you and your companion are different heights. Also, consider whether you want a wrist strap, which minimises the chance of it rolling across the ground on sloping surfaces or slipping over hills. Some models have a fixed wheel at the front, which makes it more manageable when you're running. Some models have a swivel wheel that can be locked to make it easier to navigate on uneven surfaces.
Tyre type is important too. Many all-terrain strollers are equipped with air-filled tires, which provide an enjoyable ride, but can puncture. Some pushchairs come with a foam- or gel-filled tire that is less likely to puncture. However, it will increase the weight of the pushchair.
A quality all-terrain stroller will come with a large basket that can be used for carrying your baby's groceries. Some models have a compact, one-handed fold, which allows for easy storage when not in use. Often, they will also include a raincover and a footmuff.
One of our favourite all-terrain pushchairs is the Mamas & Papas Ocarro, which won a Mother and Baby Gold Award for 2017. The dual suspension expertly handles rough terrain and will allow you to take your child on walks across all terrains and even jogging with it (once your child is old enough).

Folding
The majority of pushchairs fold. They are easy to store in your home, and they can be easily fitted in the trunk of your car. This is a great option when your car's boot is small or if you plan on travelling a lot with your family.
There are many different types of folds. So, pick one that fits your lifestyle and preferences. Many of the newest buggy models come with an auto-fold feature, which folds itself at one button. This lets you hold your child, other children or bags with both hands. It is also ideal for parents who suffer from back problems or are recovering from C-sections.
Some models fold more conventionally, with the seat on. This means they're more bulky and may not fit as snugly in your boot or vehicle. Some models require a couple of hands to fold, which could be a problem when you need to fold it while being a parent.
If you're looking for a simple umbrella fold or a more intricate mechanism, you should ensure that the model you pick will be able to cope with the terrain you'll be using it on. If you're planning to travel many cobblestones and gravel tracks, then air-filled tyres will offer a more comfortable ride.
If you intend to use your pushchair primarily on roads that are paved or pavements, then most three-wheelers will come with tires that are moulded to give your baby an easy ride. If you plan to transport your child off-road or on rough terrain, select a model that has removable mudguards or an front wheel that has quick-release. This will help your pushchair look its best.
