If you're planning to use your pushchair off-road, go for a model that has air-filled tyres (sometimes called pneumatic tyres) that are able to handle rough terrain. These tyres can take the bumps and lumps of muddy pathways or gravel tracks better than plastic wheels that have been moulded and give your child a smooth ride. Some models have locks on the front, which can be used for rough terrain.
All-terrain pushchairs are heavier than standard buggies with four wheels and you'll need to consider how much space they'll take up in your car's boot and if you'll be in a position to lift it up and down stairs when folded. It could be a challenge to lift them up, so you should test them in person to determine how heavy they are.
