Strollers
There are many different strollers to choose from each designed to satisfy the needs of a particular group of people. Some are specifically designed for multiple infants (twins or with a tiny age gap) while others are designed for singletons and others are designed to accommodate children as young as of four years.

Three-wheel pushchairs are easier to maneuver since they have just one front wheel. This makes them perfect for narrow streets and store aisles where space is limited. Consider a stroller that is all-terrain when you intend to use it in different settings. They're designed with tough tyres that can handle rough terrain and bumps more easily than regular strollers. Some strollers come with suspensions that ensure a more comfortable ride.
Some all-terrain strollers are designed to be jogging buggies well. This is great for parents who want to stay active and take a quick walk or run with their child in tow.

It's worth taking your stroller out for an initial test ride to see how it rides and how easily it can be controlled. You'll need to decide if you prefer air-filled or foam-filled tyres. Air-filled tyres tend to be more durable, but they're also susceptible to punctures and you'll need an repair kit on hand.

Joggers
If you are a buggy jogger or buggy runner, you'll need a 3 wheel stroller with car seat-wheeler stroller designed specifically for jogging. These pushchairs come with larger wheels and a suspension system that can deal with bumps and uneven sidewalks. They are also heavier and more bulkier than traditional strollers, making them unsuitable for use in everyday situations unless you plan to go for a regular run.

You may be able, depending on the age of your child and development, to move easily from the carrycot to a jogging or jogging stroller. It's best to consult your pediatrician before purchasing a jogging stroller especially if your doctor recommends waiting until your child is 6 months older.
You can also buy a jogger, and then include a car seat adapter compatible with it. For instance, the phil&teds Sport buggy can be transformed 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 one.The Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 is a stylish and practical 3 wheel parent facing pushchair-wheeler that can be used for casual strolling and light jogging.

All-terrain
If you like to walk off the beaten path, live in a rural location or you want to run with your child an all-terrain stroller could be the right choice for you. The best all-terrain prams will feature large, sturdy wheels that can withstand bumpy ground and great suspension to ensure a comfortable ride for your baby.
They're generally larger than standard pushchairs and can be a hassle to fit into your car boot. They also tend to be more expensive than other pushchairs, so do bear this in mind when shopping around.
You should look for one that has a height-adjustable bar. This will be helpful when you and/or your companion have different heights. Consider whether you need a wrist strap to stop it from falling off on slopes or hills. Some models come with a fixed wheel on the front, which is more manageable when you're running. Some models have a swivel front wheel that can be locked in place to help you manoeuvre on uneven surfaces.
The type of tyre used is also important. A majority of all-terrain pushchairs are equipped with air-filled tyres, which create an easy ride, but they can puncture easily. Some models have a gel-filled or foam-filled tyre, which are less prone to puncture, but they will add extra weight to the pushchair.
A good all-terrain pushchair will have an adequate-sized basket which is ideal for carrying your baby's shopping. Some models have a compact, single-handed fold that allows for easy storage when not in use. Often, they will also include a raincover and footmuff.

Folding
Some of the most common pushchairs fold. They take up less space in your home and are easier to put into the trunk of your car, making them perfect for those who are short on space or have a small car boot or are planning on doing lots of travelling as a family.
There are a variety of fold types, so search for one that suits your lifestyle and requirements. For example, some of the latest buggy models come with a revolutionary auto-fold that folds down at the simple push of a button. This lets you hold your baby as well as other children or bags with both hands. It's also ideal for parents with back problems or who are recovering from C-sections.
Some models fold more traditionally, with the seat in place. This means they're a bit bulkier and might not fit as tightly in your boot or vehicle. Some models will require two hands or more to fold. This could pose a problem for parents who need to hold their child while folding.
Whether you prefer a simple umbrella fold or a more intricate mechanism, it's important to ensure that the pushchair you choose will be able to deal with the terrain you'll be riding on. If you're planning on navigating many cobblestones and gravel tracks, then tyres that are filled with air will offer an easier ride.
If you'll be using your pushchair mainly on paved roads and pavements then most three-wheelers have moulded wheels that will give your baby a smooth ride. If you intend to take 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 help your pushing kit look its best.
