For example the child's seat or cot that is carried must be secured securely and should not extend more than 20cm from the frame's edge.
Three wheel pushchairs tend to have a single wheel on the front, making them more manoeuvrable than other models.

Joggers

These pushchairs have larger wheels than standard strollers and a suspension that is specially designed to withstand bumps and uneven sidewalks. These are also heavier and more bulkier than traditional strollers, making them unsuitable for daily use unless you plan to go on an occasional run.

Other good joggers can be used to stroll around the city, for example the UPPAbaby Ridge Stroller Jake or the Baby Jogger Jet City Elite 2. They have tyres that are filled with air which provide a smooth ride, but are susceptible to punctures and you'll need to have an extra. Some come with adjustable suspension or heavy-duty suspension to make the ride even smoother over rough ground.
You may be able, dependent on your child's age to seamlessly transition from the carrycot to a jogging or jogging stroller. However, it's best to check with your pediatric physician first, especially when they suggest waiting until your child is at minimum six months old.
Another option is to purchase the jogger and then put on a compatible car seat adapter. For instance the phil&teds Sport buggy can be turned into a two-in-one travel system with an infant car seat, which means you can take your baby on runs or walks from day 1.

The best all-terrain pushchairs will come with large, robust wheels that can withstand bumpy ground and great suspension to make the journey more comfortable for your baby.
They're usually bigger than standard pushchairs, and may be difficult to fit into the boot of your car. They also tend to be more expensive than other pushchairs, so keep this in mind when shopping around.
Find a model that has adjustable height handlebars that can be used when you and your companion are of different heights. You should consider whether you need a wrist strap to stop it from falling off on slopes or hills. Some models have a fixed wheel on the front, which is more stable when you are jogging. Others have a swivel front wheel that can be locked into position to assist you in maneuvering on uneven surfaces.
The type of tyre is also important. A majority of all-terrain pushchairs are equipped with air-filled tyres. They provide an easy ride, but they can puncture easily. Some pushchairs feature the gel- or foam-filled tire that is less likely to puncture. However, it can increase the weight of the pushchair.
A great all-terrain stroller should have a large basket that is useful to carry your baby's food. Some will have a handy, compact fold that can be folded in one hand to make it easier to store it away when not in use. They will often have raincovers and footmuffs included as well.

Folding
Some of the most popular pushchairs fold. They are smaller in your home and are more convenient to store into the car's boot, making them perfect if you're short on storage or have a tiny car boot or are planning on traveling a lot as a family.
There are many kinds of folds, so choose one that is appropriate to your lifestyle and preferences. For example, some of the latest buggy models come with a revolutionary auto-fold that collapses at the simple press of a button. This lets you hold your baby or other children, or even bags using both hands. It's also great for parents with back problems or who are recovering from C-sections.
Some models are designed to fold more traditionally, with the seat still in place, which means they'll be a little bulkier and might not fit as well in your car or boot. Some models require two or more hands to fold, which can be a problem if need to fold it while holding onto your child.
It is essential to ensure that the pushchair will be capable of handling the terrain you intend to use it. If you're planning to travel many cobblestones and gravel tracks, then tyres that are filled with air will provide a more comfortable ride.
If you plan to use your pushchair primarily on pavements or paved roads, then most three-wheelers will have moulded tires that will allow your child to enjoy a smooth ride. If you intend to transport your child off-road or on rough terrain, you should choose a model with removable mudguards or an front wheel that has quick-release. This will make your pushchair appear its best.
