Strollers
There are many strollers to choose from, each designed to meet certain requirements. Some strollers are designed to accommodate multiple babies (twins, or children with a tiny age difference), while others are specifically designed for singletons.

Many of these have safety guidelines that must be followed, for example - any child seat or carrycot needs to be fastened securely and can't be more than 20cm from the edge of the frame.
Three wheel pushchairs tend to have a single front wheel making them more maneuverable than other models. This makes them ideal for narrow aisles and streets in stores where space is limited. If you're planning to use your stroller in a variety of different environments, you should consider an all-terrain pushchair. They're built with tough tyres that can deal with bumps and rough terrain more quickly than normal strollers. Some strollers have suspensions to help make the ride more comfortable.
Some all-terrain strollers are built to be jogging buggies as well. This is a great choice for parents who want to be active and take their child on a brisk stroll or run. These pushchairs usually have a larger frame and tyres that are more substantial than a normal stroller, and they can come with features like a handbrake or adjustable handlebar.
It's worth taking your stroller for an experiment to see how it rides and how well it handles. You'll need to decide if you prefer air-filled or foam-filled tyres. Air-filled tyres are more durable however they are more susceptible to punctures. You'll need a repair kit to keep with you.

Joggers
If you are a buggy jogger or a buggy runner then you'll require a three-wheeler stroller that is designed specifically for jogging. These pushchairs come with larger wheels and a suspension system that can deal with bumps and uneven sidewalks. They're also usually heavier and bulkier, making them unsuitable for everyday use, unless you plan to take a stroll or go for an occasional run.

Depending on the age of your child, you may be able to move from using a carrycot or infant car seat into one of these strollers without too much difficulty. But, it's always best to talk to your pediatric physician first, especially when they advise waiting until your child is at least 6 months old.
Another option is to buy a jogger and then add on a compatible car seat adapter. For example, the phil&teds Sport buggy can be turned into a two-in-one travel system with an infant car seat so you can take baby for walks or runs from day 1.

The most effective all-terrain prams feature large, sturdy wheels that can handle bumpy ground and have a good suspension to ensure a comfortable ride for your child.

Choose a model that features a height-adjustable handlebar which can help if you and your partner are of different heights. Think about whether you require an adjustable wrist strap to keep it from falling off when you go down slopes or hills. Some models have a fixed wheel at the front, which makes it easier to control when you're running. Others come with a swivel rear wheel that can be locked into position to assist you in maneuvering on uneven surfaces.
The type of tyre used is equally important. Many all-terrain strollers use air-filled tires, which offer an easy ride, but can puncture. Some pushchairs have gel or foam-filled tire, which is less likely to puncture. However, it does add weight to the pushchair.

For Push Chairs And Prams of the most recent buggy models have a groundbreaking auto-fold that folds down at the simple pressing. This leaves your hands free to carry a baby bags, or other children and is ideal for parents suffering from back pain or recovering from C-sections.
Some models fold more traditionally, with the seat on. This means they are more bulky and may not fit as well in your boot or vehicle. Some models require more than one hand to fold, which could be a problem when you are being held by your child.
It is essential to ensure that the stroller is capable of handling the terrain on which you intend to use it. If you're planning to travel lots of cobblestones or gravel tracks, then air-filled tyres will give you a more comfortable ride.
