Easy to manoeuvre
Contrary to some all-terrain pushchairs that typically have air-filled tyres (that are great for bumpy ground but can be susceptible to punctures) a lightweight pushchair typically has solid tyres that are easy to maneuver over any surface. They also tend to have great suspension to make the ride more comfortable for your baby. If you are looking for a buggy that can be used as a jogger, look for one with an adjustable front wheel that locks in place and a brake that can be controlled with one hand.

MFM reviewer Becky is pleased to see that the handbrake is in a safe position to avoid kicking it by accident. This is great when you're traveling with children who will be pushing the car.
Baby is comfortable and safe
The best pushchairs have an adjustable seat that is spacious, comfortable and ventilated to ensure the comfort of your infant or toddler.

Most likely, they'll come with an adjustable leg rest as well as a strap clasp, so that you can determine the most comfortable position for your little one.
You can also purchase all-terrain pushchairs which are made for off-road walks. These pushchairs will have large tires that are puncture-proof and have excellent suspension.
