All-Terrain Buggy Review
All-terrain pushchairs are the ideal option for those who like to walk on different terrains and don't mind if it gets muddy. They're built with large wheels and suspensions that can handle rougher terrain than standard pushchairs.
Choose a vehicle with excellent suspension and air-filled tyres. Check if the front wheels can lock, as this will improve stability while jogging.

It is designed with an eye for modern performance fabrics, outdoor leisure trends and combines sleek sporting touches with off-road capabilities to create a visually stunning masterpiece.
The patented carry strap of iCandy is integrated into the chassis, allowing both hands. The elevators, a possible feature, can help lift the seats to bring children closer to you. This is especially helpful when your child is outgrowing the carrycot or unit seat. You can raise them onto the frame safely.
During the testing, Liz took the Peach 6 out over various terrains, including narrow roads, wet fields gravel, and sports ground. She found the suspension really helped smooth out the ride, even on bumps and difficult ground. The front wheels pivot to make it easy to maneuver around corners. The chassis has an easy-to-use one-click lock that allows you to firm up the ride for more difficult terrain. The Peach has a small footprint and a tight turning radius making it easy to get in and out of the doors and into shops. It's also great for public transport and should fit in a standard wheelchair-friendly space.
The handlebar can be adjusted to four different positions and is covered in leatherette that feels extremely comfortable in the palm. The fold is one-handed, automatic with an auto-lock. Additionally, it's small and freestanding when folded. It comes with a pocket on the back of the seat that's perfect for keeping important items such as keys and phones.
The Peach 7 can be used from birth to 25kg. ( 4 wheel all terrain pushchair without elevators only). It is able to be converted to a double pushchair by purchasing the iCandy Peach 2+ Twin Kit, sold separately.

It's simple to remove the chassis by simply unclicking each side one at a time. There's an additional bumper that can help you get it done on your own.

The only issue was folding that requires some practice to master. When folded, it will fit in a car boot of a medium size. Also included are rain covers.

If you enjoy outdoor walks or off-road adventures, then an all-terrain stroller is an absolute must. These strollers are ideal for jogging with your child and can handle rough terrain and kerbs better than traditional pushchairs. These models tend to be slightly more robust than light compact pushchairs and might have different tyres to cope with rougher terrain. Some have a lockable swivel front wheel, and a few - especially those that are designed for running - have a brake control on the handlebar too.
The iCandy Swift is a popular all-terrain buggy. MFM reviewer Kath said it "navigates over bumpy grass, cobbles, sidewalks, dirt tracks, and deals with steep kerbs". It also offers a comfortable ride for your child thanks to its suspension and large air-filled rear wheels. Additionally, the ability to lock the front wheels (on both four-wheel and three-wheel versions of the buggy) is a really handy feature when you need to navigate a difficult terrain or to climb up or down a high step.
Other features to look for in an all-terrain vehicle are the height adjustment of the swivel seat and suspension that can be raised to accommodate a car seat. Also, make sure that the tyres can be changed for puncture-proof ones, which will help you navigate rough terrain and reduce the possibility of losing a spare in the middle of the night!
