The All Terrain Stroller Best For Parents

The UPPAbaby VISTA V2 stroller is an excellent choice for parents seeking durability and flexibility. It is designed to be flexible as your family grows, this stroller easily rolls across rough terrain.

Think of where you'll most often use your stroller - grassy parks, sandy beaches, rocky pathways? All terrain pushchair strollers can deal with these types of terrain.

Baby Jogger Summit X3

The Summit X3 stroller is one of Baby Jogger’s most popular models. It is a hybrid stroller/jogger which can be used to walk or jog across any terrain. The large air-filled tires as well as all-wheel suspension offer a comfortable ride for your baby. Its padded seat reclines almost flat and is suitable for newborns*. The vents on the top of the seat enhances airflow while the seat is retracted. The included adaptor allows this model to work with most infant car seats. It has one-hand folding that is simple and quick.

It's at the more expensive end of all terrain running strollers (like the BOBs) however, it does have plenty of advantages. Single-action brakes come with an unsettling click and are easy to operate, even while being in your child's arms. The deceleration brake that is operated by hand is also useful, particularly when you're climbing hills.

Another great feature is the remote action swivel lock, located on the handlebar. This allows you to quickly switch from swivel to locked mode for running without having bend down and touch the front wheels, which may be dirty or get muddy. When you're done, simply turn the lever to swivel mode.

The Baby Jogger Summit X3 features an enormous UV50+ canopy with side air vents, as well as windows that can be opened for peek-aboo. The canopy provides ample protection from the sun and can be adjusted to fit different weather conditions. It is rated for walking at 6 months, and running from 9 months. It folds by pulling of the handle in the fabric on the seat, which is super simple and quick even while you hold your child. It is extremely compact when folded, and is secured by it's Velcro strap at the bottom.

BOB Gear Alterrain Pro

The BOB Gear Alterrain Pro jogging stroller is a top-rated item that features superior suspension for an easy ride for your child. SmoothShox is a technology exclusive to BOB Gear that absorbs jerks and bumps and reduces the impact on your child and yourself. The system is different from competitors like the Revolution Flex 3.0 which has an amazing adjustable suspension, but lacks the technology found in the Alterrain Pro.

The large rear wheel, which measures 16 inches, and the front wheel measuring 12 inches of this jogger are designed to smoothly roll over uneven terrain and offer great maneuverability. The air-filled wheels give you the best performance and durability, while also providing a sense of comfort to your child.

The Alterrain Pro is easy-to-maneuver and requires only a few minutes of setup time, despite its weight. The Alterrain Pro comes with a user's manual, and assembly is not required. The Alterrain Pro travel system is compatible with a range of infant car seats that include those from Britax, UPPAbaby and Chicco.

Its sunshade scored better than the rest we evaluated. It covers the knees, ensuring protection from harmful UV radiation. It also has a cushioned seat that is sling-style and has an adjustable back that can be easy to operate by pressing down on a single lever using the palm of your hand. The padded legrest extends to the plastic footrest, adding the feeling of comfort. The Alterrain Pro is sleeker and more modern than other models from the brand. It also feels more refined. The tubing for the frame is made of aluminum and has a minimal left-to-right flex, and the stitching around the handlebar, canopy and basket is clean and tidy, with no tangled up fasteners.

BOB Sport Utility

This stroller is available as either a single or duallie version for parents who are determined about their outdoor adventures. It's designed for off-road walking with knobby tires and high-impact polymer wheels that maximize traction. The fixed front wheel helps by ensuring stability while jogging and also assists in traversing difficult terrain. The adjustable suspension is state-of-the-art technology and can take on any bumps. It also has an adjustable handlebar that can accommodate parents of different heights, as well as a larger storage basket for everything you need.

BOB Sport Utility scored 6 out of 10, which is behind only the BOB Ironman the top-rated model. Its suspension, large wheels and air-filled tires make it more comfortable to run, and its suspension system and air-filled tires are better at absorbing the impact of rough surfaces than the smaller ones on strollers that are competing (including our other BOB models like the Revolution Flex, and the Thule Urban Glide 2, which both scored 9).

The Sport Utility is very good in maneuverability, but it is not as easy to turn than some of the other models reviewed in this review. It requires tilting the handlebar back in order to turn which is great on flat surfaces, but could make it harder to navigate in tight spaces such as cafes or grocery stores.

The BOB Sport Utility offers the same safety features as other joggers. It comes with a 5-point harness, a hand brake and a foot brake. The BOB Sport Utility is also able to accommodate the majority of infant car seat adapters that are sold separately. We found the brakes to be quick and easy to use, however we were not thrilled that you have to step on a lever near the front seat to lock the front wheel, which can be awkward while walking or jogging.

Baby Trend Expedition

This stroller is an excellent choice for families on a budget. It comes with all the safety features, like a 5-point harness, tether strap and other safety features, to ensure your children's safety on outings. The handlebar is ergonomically designed with a wide rubber grip. It's also cushioned with foam to ensure comfort. This makes it easier to maneuver through difficult terrains and hills. It has a large bin that can hold two or more drinks, which is useful when you're on an extended journey.

The Expedition is a jogger that can carry infant car seats. It's an excellent choice for parents of children who are small. It is able to attach baby Trend or Graco infant seats using the adapter that comes with it. It also has a lockable swivel front wheel that can be locked to jog, or locked to allow easy strolling. It also has a multi-position reclined seat, a large basket for storage, and footrest reflectors to improve visibility in low light.

However the Expedition isn't as good in a number of areas when compared with our top-scoring alternatives. It doesn't come with suspension systems that help to absorb the force of bumps and uneven ground, which could be uncomfortable for infants and toddlers. Its metal wheels don't last as long as those with bigger tires, so it isn't an option for those with rough surfaces.

Additionally, the Expedition's canopy is quite small, which means it's not as a great way to cover or protection from sun. Despite these flaws it is a great choice for families. Baby Trend Expedition makes a ideal choice for parents who are on a tight budget and want an all-terrain stroller lightweight pram. It also comes with some other useful features, such as a tray for the parent with cup holders, as well as a tray for the child with two cupholders.

Out and About Nipper Sport V4

Out 'n' About, a UK brand has won acclaim for its jogging buggies. This model is the best all terrain buggies running buggy they've ever produced. It's light and easy steer, but it also comes with large, sturdy 16-inch wheels that tackle even the toughest terrain. It features a fixed front wheel, so it's simple to keep it straight for running, however you can pull the handlebar's lever to release it and allow the wheel to swivel for casual strolling or climbing hills.

The suspension is great especially on rough and bumpy bridleways in Peak District where we tested it. The brake on the handlebars was not as responsive as we would have liked, and the Nipper Sport V4 cannot be used with an infant car seat or carrier (although it is compatible with an infant insert) and is only used for occasional sleep.

It's pretty easy to build - we were able to do it in less than 10 minutes and found the instructions easy to follow. It is necessary to install the seat liner and hood yourself however, we found it was not difficult. It only requires a bit of patience as you feed the harness straps into the slots in the padded seat liner. There's a small storage pouch that is attached to the back of the seat but it wouldn't be large enough to accommodate a changing bag.

The Out 'n' About Nipper Sport V4 can be used as early as the moment of birth, but it is advised to wait until your child is six months old before you use it for running. The harness isn't strong enough to support a newborn comfortably, so you will need to purchase a separate carrycot.
