All-terrain pushchair that provides lightweight durability and great maneuverability. The compact fold with one hand makes it easy to carry. It also stands on its own when folded. The padded seat reclines to an almost flat position and there's a huge storage bin and canopy. Baby-friendly? Yes, with an additional carrycot.
A good suspension and air-filled tires will help you to navigate the rough terrain. It's also suitable for jogging, although you should wait until your baby is six or nine months old before doing this.
Ickle Bubba Air
This pushchair from Ickle Bubba is a great choice for parents who want lightweight strollers with added features. This travel system includes an adjustable carrycot that can be folded flat for infants as well as a multi-position forward and rear facing pushchair seat.
The XL Air is a really impressive vehicle and it's simple to see why it's received such high praise from customers. It is incredibly lightweight The chassis and wheels weigh just 6.5kg. It's extremely easy to put together. I was able get it up and running in under five minutes. This is amazing considering that it included attaching fabric for the carrycot.
The seat is large and comfortable for Annie, who is just 12 months old. The recline lever was easy to operate. The basket is spacious with plenty of space, and I find it nice that the handle bar features a pocket to keep your keys and phone secure.
The only downside is the handlebar is low, which can be a problem for taller parents. It's covered in soft, supple leather-like material, and is easy to wipe down.
Hauck Pushchair Runner
The Runner is made for sporty parents who are eager to get outside and explore. Its large pneumatic wheels are designed to be used on forest and field trails and the front wheel can be swivelled and locked to give you more flexibility.

The front wheel is lockable for more stability on narrow streets and crowded sidewalks and the stroller folds easily to fit into car boot spaces and storage areas.
Some parents have reported that the Runner 2 to be a bit harder to navigate than its predecessor, and the locking system isn't as user-friendly (requiring two buttons on the opposite side of the push bar). The handlebars are higher than those of some competitors, so they might not be suitable for shorter parents. However the stroller is durable and adaptable and should be considered by active families.
3 wheeled pushchair is a different great product from Red Kite, an affordable British brand which is known for its simple and well-designed essentials for parenting. It's the most recent - and priciest - addition to their bargain lightweight stroller range and as with the Ickle Bubba Aurora and Yoyo it's car seat-compatible which means you can use it right from birth (the carrycot folds away).
The new Pace has some amazing design elements, like a rose gold tint to the chassis, hood and stroller trims, which really set it apart from its competition. The cream, grey, and tan fabrics in the stroller and the car seat are stylish and there is the option of adding a co-ordinating leather cover handle and bumper bar, too.
The stroller seat can be used from birth up to a maximum weight of 22kg. It easily converts to a two-in-one reversible position, either parent-facing or facing the world. The stroller seat offers multiple lie back positions, softly padded leg rests and an extendable sun canopy with concealed zip sections, viewing through flaps and an adjustable sun visor.
What's more, when it's folded it's Pace measures 56 x 43 x 32cm which means it can be used as hand luggage with Easyjet and Ryanair, among other carriers. It's also easy to fold down, using two buttons on either side of the handlebar that just need to be pressed in and pop up.
Bugaboo Fox 5
The idea behind it is to create the ultimate all-terrain pushchair Bugaboo's latest Fox 5 promises to do everything. Its unique chassis, coupled with a shorter wheel-distance, makes it much more mobile than its predecessor. I tried it out with my two kids - one a toddler and another eight-week-old - on rocky pavements, grassy woodland walks and even cobblestones.
The large puncture-proof wheels - 22cm or 30cm in size - can handle a variety of terrains. They also have a handy flap that can open or closes to allow more air in should you need it, which is a nice touch. It's a bit larger than most pushchairs, but it doesn't feel bulky or heavy when pushing over bumpy surfaces.
The fabric of the seat is machine washable, as are the frame and faux leather grips are simple to wipe down. It's also quieter than many pushchairs and I felt safe using it in busy city streets. One of the advantages is that it comes with accessory points, meaning you can add footmuffs parasols, changing bags and even a snack tray. You can also use the hood to block wind and rain, although it's not particularly waterproof. The single pram can be fitted with the Comfort Wheeled Board (not included) which allows your child more leg room. It took about 20 minutes to put together the bassinet, and a similar amount of time to convert it into the seat.

The Ridge's reversible seat lets you to decide whether your child will face the world in front of them or you, and its simple foot brake system is easy for parents who are new. A great feature is the reversible handlebar, which allows you to adjust it to your height and preferences. And unlike some jogging strollers, the Ridge's fold is reliable and stays self-standing while folded.
