A light frame and puncture-proof tyres are crucial to a stroller that can be used anywhere. They allow you to take on any surface from grass to slick pavements with ease. An all-terrain pushchair is similar to an SUV and will often be designed to deal with rough terrain, but it can work equally well in urban environments too.

A scissor fold pushchair, such as the Le Clerc Influencer XL, is a great choice. These pushchairs feature an almost scissor-like fold. This means they fold down into a square-ish form. They are easy to fold, but they do tend to be larger than umbrella-fold pushchairs when folded which means they won't fit into smaller car boots.

If you intend to use your pushchair along with an infant carrycot to travel in a system, it's essential to ensure that the seat reclines flat. Newborns must lie flat to ensure proper lung and spine development, so a pushchair that doesn't offer this may not be suitable from the start.

If the hood can be removed this will make it easier to remove mould and mildew. Then, you can dry it outside. Similarly, if the triple pram wheels are removable you can easily rinse them with warm soapy water to keep them in good condition and functioning properly. The same is true for raincovers that may be attached to your pushchair - it's important to make sure they're not damp or covered in mud as this can lead to corrosion.
