It's important to check that the stroller is capable of handling the terrain you plan to use it. For instance, if it's likely that you'll be driving through a lot of cobblestones or gravel tracks, make sure the wheels are made of air-filled tyres to offer an easier ride for your little one.

But, if you'll be taking your little one off-road or on rough ground choose an option that comes with a set of movable mudguards and/or a quick-release front wheel that will help keep your pushing kit looking its best.
