    Recommendations for a stroller that can go off road...

    I know this has probably been discussed many times before, but we are just starting to research so I would love feedback.... we live near the beach and also have a local bush track...I'd like something that I can eventually take to places like that for walks.

    Even some early pointers/suggestions would help at this stage. I am going to have a read through other threads here too...there is so much great info!

    So you're looking at 3 wheelers mainly? Our Baby Jogger City Elite is really good off road. Handles well, has suspension and all

    Mountain Buggy's are also great as are Adventure Buggy's

    Bertini Shuttle is a good option as is has pump up tyres and pneumatic wheels.

    I have a strider and i couldnt see you having too many issues with one of those either.

    Goodluck i hope you find something to suit your needs.

    Thanks Taurean!

    basically we have a great bugaboo second hand we were given...It seems great and I know they get really good reviews from lots of women....so I am very happy with it.

    I just wasn't sure down the track how well it would handle on rough outdoor surfaces (happy for feedback on this too!!) and whether or not I would need to look at getting something else for those type of outdoor walks etc ??

    I am a complete novice at this point!

    No worries! Three wheelers are generally better designed to handle off-road conditions. We love our Baby Jogger, it's a brilliant pram and we seriously can't fault it in any way. My mum works at a baby store which doesn't sell Baby Jogger and she's always telling her customers that it's the best pram, lol

    My sister had an Adventure Buggy for her boys and they spend a lot of time in the bush (mountain biking and camping) and at the beach (kite surfing) and their pram handled beautifully. It was quite a bit heavier than my pram but they've probably improved them quite a bit again in the 6 years since she bought hers.

    Mountain Buggy's are an awesome all-rounder. The only turn off for us was they aren't toddler seat compatiable, a priority for us when we were looking at prams.
