All-terrain prams and pushchairs

If you enjoy adventuring off the beaten path or live near fields and bumpy paths, buying a pram or pushchair for your baby that suits all terrains can be an excellent choice. We look at the different options for all-terrain pushchairs to help you find the best one for you.

All-terrain prams explained

When you choose your pram or pushchair you’ll want to ensure it fits your lifestyle. If you think you’ll be using it on rugged terrain such as over fields or on bumpy roads, an all-terrain option is probably the best choice for keeping your baby comfortable and secure while letting you journey together without compromise.

All-terrain pushchairs are designed to keep your baby’s ride smooth and comfortable when navigating off-road. They usually have extra padding for support, are a little heavier than some other pushchairs and have bigger wheels. A fixed front wheel on all-terrain prams makes them safer to push over uneven ground as the pushchair is less likely to tilt or turn by itself.

The design of all-terrain prams and pushchairs allow the chassis (or frame) to take the brunt of the bumpy ground, rather than the seat unit. This keeps your baby snug, secure and enjoying a smooth ride whether you’re journeying across a country field or a city street.

Using an all-terrain pushchair versus a standard one can be compared to driving across a field in a Range Rover versus a Fiat 500. The latter is going to be a lot less comfortable, and the same applies when tackling off-road with your baby in a pushchair that isn’t designed for different terrains.

Are there any downsides to buying all-terrain?

All-terrain prams and pushchairs are usually a little heavier than single-terrain options, with bigger wheels. This means they may not be as easy to store at home or in your car boot than smaller prams and pushchairs.

However, they’re suitable for steering along streets as well as off-road, so there are no disadvantages to using them on smoother ground. This makes an all-terrain pushchair a good all-round option, wherever you and your baby choose to explore.
