Suspension

There are many strollers that have good off-road capability however they are not the best. They also have large wheels and excellent suspension. These are usually cheaper than full-on all-terrain buggy models and can work well for short strolls in the countryside or trips to the park.

A lot of these pushchairs are suitable starting at birth, either with an infant carrycot or a baby-ready car seat. Be aware that the seats do not lay flat when pushing over bumps or dips. According to EU regulations, they only need to meet minimum standards of a reclining angle of around 150deg. Certain brands, like Graco, have overcome this with their new "comfitech" in-seat suspension that allows the seat to recline at a slightly more flatter angle for a bit more comfort. This feature is available on the Lila XP All-Terrain Pushchair, which can be combined with a compatible Graco Infant Car Seat to create a 3-in-1 travel system.
