These models typically come with large wheels and suspension systems that provide an easy ride on rough terrain.

Most are suitable for newborns and come with a seat that can be placed in a flat position or a carrycot for newborns. They also have foam-filled tyres that are never flat to help with maintenance.

Suspension

Be aware that the seats do not be able to lie flat when you push over bumps or dips. As per EU regulations, they only must meet minimum standards of reclined angles of approximately 150 degrees. Some brands, including Graco have gotten around this problem with their new 'comfitech' in-seat suspension which allows the seat to recline at a flatter angle for a little more comfort. This feature is available on the Lila XP all-terrain pushchair which can be used with an appropriate Graco infant car seat to create a 3 wheel pushchair off road in one travel system.
