Consider the places you'll often take your stroller - grassy parks, sandy beaches or paths that are rocky? All terrain strollers can handle these surfaces.
Baby Jogger Summit X3
The Summit X3 is one of Baby Jogger's most loved strollers. It is a jogger/stroller hybrid that can be used for walking or jogging on any terrain. The large air-filled tires and all-wheel suspension ensure a smooth ride for your baby. Its padded seat reclines nearly flat and is approved by the EC for infants*. The vented top of the seat enhances airflow when the seat is retracted. This model is also able to accept the majority of infant car seats by using the included adaptor. It comes with a signature one-hand fold that is simple and quick.
It is on the more expensive end of all-terrain running strollers, like the BOBs. However, it does have many positive features. The single-action brakes have an unsettling click and are easy to use, even when you are holding your child in your arms. The deceleration brake that is operated by hand is also useful, particularly when you're running up a hill.
Another feature that is cool is the remote action swivel lock, located on the handlebar. This allows you to quickly change from swivel mode to locked mode for running without having bend down and touch the front wheels, which may become dirty or dirty. Switch the lever back to swivel after you're done.
The Baby Jogger Summit X3 features an enormous UV50+ canopy, along with side air vents, and windows that peek-aboo.

It is foldable using the fabric handle on seat. This is fast and easy, even when you are holding your child. It is extremely compact when folded, and is secured by the Velcro strap at the base.
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. The company's specialized technology, known as SmoothShox, absorbs bumps and jerks, reducing the transfer of that impact to your child and the parent. It is different from competitors such as the Revolution Flex
3 wheel all terrain pram.0 which has an excellent adjustable suspension, but does not have the same technology as the Alterrain Pro.
The jogger's 16-inch rear wheels and 12 inch front wheel are designed to roll over terrain smoothly and provide plenty of maneuverability. The wheels are filled with air to provide a layer of comfort for your baby while ensuring maximum performance and durability.
The Alterrain Pro is easy-to-maneuver and requires only a few minutes of setup time regardless of its weight. The Alterrain Pro comes with a user manual and assembly is not required. The Alterrain Pro travel system is compatible with many infant car seats such as those from Britax, UPPAbaby and Chicco.
Its sunshade scored better than the majority of the other sunshade models we test. It covers to the knees, ensuring protection from harmful UV radiation. It also features a padded seat, sling-style design and an adjustable back that can be easy to operate by pressing down on a single lever with the use of a hand. The padded legrest stretches to the plastic footrest, adding the feeling of comfort. The Alterrain Pro has a sleek and modern look to it and is more refined than other models from the brand. The tubing for the frame is made of aluminum and has minimal left-to-right flex and the stitching around the handlebar, canopy, and basket is clean and neat with no tangled up fasteners.
BOB Sport Utility
This stroller, available in single or duallie form, is for parents who take their outdoor adventures seriously. It's built for off-road strolling with knobby tires and high-impact polymer wheels that increase the traction. The front wheel that is fixed assists with jogging stability and helps navigate difficult terrain. Its state-of-the-art adjustable suspension tackles any bumps you encounter. It also has an adjustable handlebar that can accommodate parents of different heights, as well as larger storage baskets for
all terrain stroller your equipment.
BOB Sport Utility scored 6 out of 10, which is behind only the BOB Ironman which is our top-rated model. Its suspension and oversized wheels make it smoother to run on, and its air-filled tires and suspension system can better absorb the impact of rough surfaces more effectively than the smaller tires on competing joggers (including our other BOB strollers, 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 as other models reviewed in this review. It is required to tip the handlebar to turn. This is a great option for flat surfaces, but it can be difficult to navigate in tight spaces such as grocery stores or cafes.
The BOB Sport Utility comes with the same safety features that are found in other joggers. It comes with a 5-point harness with a hand brake as well as a foot brake. The BOB Sport Utility can also accommodate most infant car seat adapters which are sold separately. We found the brakes to be flexible and simple to use, however we weren't thrilled that you have to use a lever near the front seat to secure the front wheel. This can be uncomfortable while walking or jogging.
Baby Trend Expedition
This stroller is an excellent choice for families on a budget. It comes with
all terrain stroller the essential safety features, such as a 5-point harness as well as a the tether strap to keep your kids safe during excursions. The handlebar is extra-wide ergonomically shaped rubber grip that is cushioned with foam for comfort. This makes it easy to maneuver through the rough terrain and hills. It also has a large storage bin that can hold two or more drinks which is useful for long trips.
The Expedition is a jogger that can be used to transport infant car seats. It's an excellent choice for parents with small children. It's capable of affixing Baby Trend and Graco infant car seats to the adapter for car seats included, and it comes with a lockable front swivel wheel that can be unlocked to jog or lock for strolling with ease. It also features an adjustable reclining seat that can be positioned in multiple positions, a large storage basket and footrest reflectors that enhance low-light visibility.
However the Expedition falls short in several areas when compared with our top-scoring choices. It does not come with suspension to help absorb the impact of bumps or uneven terrain, which could make it uncomfortable for young kids. The wheels made of metal don't last longer than those with bigger tires, making it not 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 the sun. Despite these flaws, the Baby Trend Expedition makes a excellent choice for parents who are on the tightest budget and want an all-terrain stroller. It also comes with a number of convenient features, such as the parent tray with cup holders as well as a child's tray with two cup holders.
Out 'n' About Nipper Sport V4
Out 'n' About, an UK brand, has won legions for its range jogging buggies. This model is the best running buggy they have ever made. It's lightweight and easy to steer however, it also comes with robust 16" wheels that can take on even the most challenging terrain. It has fixed wheels that are easy to lock straight when you're running. But you can also use the lever on the handlebar to let the front wheel swivel for those who are just walking around or climbing hills.
The suspension is excellent especially on bridleways that are bumpy and rocky. The brake on the handlebars was not as responsive to us as we would have liked, and the Nipper Sport V4 cannot be used with a car seat or a baby carrier (although it can be used with an infant insert) and is only used for occasional overnight sleep.
The instructions are clear and we were able to put it together in less than 10 mins. The hood and the seat lining must be fitted by you, but it's not difficult. It's all it takes is patience to thread the harness straps into the respective slits on the padded seat liners. The back of the seat comes with a medium-sized bag but it's not enough to hold a change 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 utilizing it for running. This is due to the fact that the harness isn't strong enough to comfortably hold newborns, so you'll need to buy an additional carrycot or insert for newborns.
