If you don't wish to go quite as extreme as an all-terrain stroller, there are many strollers that are very well-built, but not the ultimate off-road capabilities, and have great suspension and big wheels.

Many of these pushchairs are suitable for babies from birth, whether with a carrycot or a newborn-ready car seat. Be aware that when it comes to pushing over dips and bumps, the seats will not lie completely flat.
