Think about the places where you'll often take your stroller - sandy beaches, grassy parks or rocky paths? All strollers are designed to tackle these types of surfaces.

Baby Jogger Summit X3

The Summit X3 stroller is one of Baby Jogger's most well-known models. It is a hybrid jogger/stroller which can be used for walking or jogging on any terrain. The large air-filled tires and all-wheel suspension provide a smooth ride for your baby. The padded seat reclines almost flat and is approved by the EC for newborns*. The vented top of the seat enhances airflow while the seat is reclined. The included adaptor allows this model to work with most infant car seats. It features a unique one-hand fold that is extremely quick and easy.

It's at the more expensive end of all terrain running strollers (like BOBs) however, it does have many advantages. Single-action brakes come with an unsettling click and are easy to use, even when being in your child's arms. The hand-operated brake can be beneficial, particularly when running uphill.

The handlebar also comes with a remote-action swivel locking system. It allows you to quickly change from swivel mode to locked for running without having to bend and touch the front wheel, which can get dirty or muddy. The lever can be turned back to swivel after you're done.

The Baby Jogger Summit X3 features an enormous UV50+ canopy, with side air vents, as well as windows that can be opened for peek-aboo. The canopy offers plenty of protection from the sun and can be adjusted to fit different weather conditions. It is designed for walking at 6 months and running from 9 months. It folds using a pull of the handle made of fabric on the seat, which is easy and quick, even while holding your child. When folded, it's compact and secured by the Velcro strap.

BOB Gear Alterrain Pro

The BOB Gear Alterrain Pro jogging stroller is a top-rated item that features superior suspension for a smooth ride for your child. SmoothShox is a specific technology developed by BOB Gear that absorbs bumps and jerks, minimizing the impact on your child and yourself. The system is distinct from competitors like the Revolution Flex 3.0 which has a great adjustable suspension, but does not have the same technology as the Alterrain Pro.

The large rear wheel of 16 inches and the front wheel that measures 12 inches of this jogger have been designed to roll smoothly over terrain and offer great maneuverability. The air-filled wheels provide maximum performance and durability while adding a layer of comfort for your baby.

Despite its heavy weight, the Alterrain Pro is easy to maneuver and requires a short time to set up. It also comes with a useful user's manual and no tools are required to put together. The Alterrain Pro travel system is compatible with a variety of infant car seats that include those from Britax, UPPAbaby and Chicco.

Its sunshade scored higher than the rest we evaluated. It covers up to the knees, ensuring protection against harmful UV radiation. It also comes with a cushioned seating sling and reclined back that can be operated by pressing down on a lever with one hand. The padded leg rest extends down to the plastic footrest to give you extra comfort. The Alterrain Pro is sleeker and more contemporary than other models of the brand. It also feels more polished. The aluminum frame tubing is rigid and has very little flex left-to right. The stitching around the basket, handlebars, and canopy are neat and neat, without knotted-up fasteners.

BOB Sport Utility

This stroller, available in single or duallie form, is designed 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 traction. The fixed front wheel helps with stability when jogging and aids in navigating difficult terrain. Its modern adjustable suspension takes care of any bumps that may occur. It also features an adjustable handlebar that can accommodate parents of different heights as well as an extra storage basket to store all your gear.

BOB Sport Utility scored 6 out of 10 points, which is below only the BOB Ironman the top-rated model. Its suspension, big wheels and air-filled tires make it more comfortable to run on, and its suspension system and air-filled tires are better at absorbing the shock from rough surfaces than the smaller tires on other strollers (including our other BOB models including the Revolution Flex, and the Thule Urban Glide 2, which both scored 9).

When it comes to maneuverability, the Sport Utility does very well however it isn't as easy to turn as some of the other models 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 maneuver in tight spaces, such as grocery stores or cafes.

The BOB Sport Utility has the same safety features that are found in other joggers. It comes with a 5-point harness, 3 wheel all terrain lightweight stroller terrain buggy (http://mud.dolba.net) a hand brake and a foot brake. The BOB Sport Utility can accommodate most infant car seat adapters that are sold separately. We found the brakes to be flexible and simple to use, but we weren't thrilled the fact that you need to sit on a lever close to the front seat to lock the front wheel which can be awkward when walking or jogging.

Baby Trend Expedition

This stroller is a great option for families with a tight budget. It is equipped with all safety features, including a 5-point harness, the tether strap and other security features, to ensure your children's safety on outings. The handlebar is extra-wide ergonomically shaped rubber grip and is foam padded for comfort. This makes it easier to navigate the rough terrain and hills. It also has a large storage bin that can hold two drinks or more, which is convenient when on long trips.

The Expedition is an jogger that can carry infant car seats which makes it a great option for parents with small ones. It can be connected to the Baby Trend or Graco infant seats with the adapter included. It also features a lockable swivel front wheel that can be locked for jogging or locked to allow easy strolling. It also comes with an adjustable reclining seat that can be positioned in multiple positions as well as a large storage bin and footrest reflectors for enhanced low-light visibility.

The Expedition isn't as effective in some areas as our top-scoring models. It doesn't have suspension to help absorb the impact of bumps and uneven terrain which can make it uncomfortable for children who are just starting out. Its metal wheels don't last longer than the ones with larger tires, which is why it's not a good option for rough surfaces.

The Expedition's canopy is small and it doesn't provide much protection or coverage from the sun. Despite these flaws however, the Baby Trend Expedition makes a great option for parents on a a tight budget and want an all terrain pram-terrain pram all terrain. It also comes with other useful features, such as a tray for the parent with cup holders, and an infant tray with two cup holders.

Out and About Nipper Sport V4

Out 'n' About, a UK brand, has won legions for its range of jogging buggies. This model is the most efficient running buggy they have ever created. It's light and easy to steer, but also has large robust 16" wheels that can tackle even the toughest terrain. It has fixed wheels that are easy to lock straight while running. You can also use the lever on the handlebar to let the front wheel spin for those who are just walking around or climbing hills.

The suspension is superb especially on rough and bumpy bridleways in the Peak District where we tested it. The only issue we had was that the handlebar brake isn't as flexible as we'd like, and the Nipper Sport V4 can't be used with a baby car or car seat (although it can take an infant insert and comes with an appropriate carrycot for occasional overnight sleeps).

The instructions are easy to follow and we were able to put it together in less than 10 mins. It's necessary to put in the hood and seat liner yourself however, we found it wasn't difficult - it simply requires some patience while feeding the harness straps through the slits in the padded seat liner. There's a medium-sized storage bag attached to the back of the seat, but it wouldn't be large enough for the use of a changing bag.

The Out 'n' About Nipper Sport V4 is suitable for use starting at the moment of birth. However, it's recommended to wait until your child is six months old before using it for running. This is because the harness isn't strong enough to hold newborns, so you'll need to purchase an additional carrycot or insert for newborns.
