Best all-terrain prams: top off-road pushchairs to buy in 2026

When it comes to all-terrain prams, Out 'n' About has long been a trusted name, and the Nipper V6 builds on the success of earlier models, including the Nipper V5 which we tested and reviewed. This latest version introduces a handful of thoughtful upgrades aimed at making everyday use even easier.

Weighing 12.2kg, the V6 is slightly heavier than the V5, but it still feels nimble to push. The extra weight reflects improvements such as a durable anodised aluminium frame and a simplified one-hand fold, which makes packing down quicker and more compact.

On rougher terrain, the all-wheel suspension and three large air-filled tyres handle uneven paths with ease, while the five-point harness keeps your child secure. Comfort has been improved too, with an easier one-hand seat recline and a dual-position seat that allows for either an upright or bucket-style position.

Storage is more practical this time around thanks to a larger, redesigned under-seat basket, alongside handy mesh pockets for snacks and small items. In use, the V6 remains easy to manoeuvre with one hand, and the wider handlebar and flip-flop-friendly brake are welcome, parent-friendly touches.

As with previous models, it comes with a bumper bar, seat liner and rain cover, is compatible with baby car seats, and can be paired with the Nipper V6 Front Rider for older siblings.

Overall, the Nipper V6 feels like a sensible evolution of the V5 we tested, keeping the off-road performance the range is known for while adding refinements that make day-to-day life that bit simpler. if you're on the hunt for a double model, be sure to check out our full Out 'n' About Nipper Double V6 review.

Hailed as the best three-wheel pushchair since 2012, according to Which?, the Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 is a classic in the Baby Jogger range. 

With the manufacturer’s claims that this all-terrain pram offers “uncompromising agility on any terrain,” the GT2 is considered the sportier version of the City Mini 2, which is primarily designed for smoother surfaces.

Compared to the City Jogger GT, the newly improved GT2 has a lighter, more compact frame, rubber foam-filled tyres (not air) that are more robust than traditional plastic tyres, plus its all-wheel suspension offers a smooth, comfy ride. The two large magnetic peekaboo windows offer more visibility than the Velcro windows of older models. We also like the adjustable handlebar and calf support for older children, making this pram good value for money. 

Like the Out n About Nipper the GT2 has a large UV50+ extendable sun canopy that will offer your child essential protection from the elements, however keep in mind that the buggy doesn’t come with a rain cover.

Super versatile and great for newborns and toddlers alike, the seat on the GT2 is also taller and has a higher weight limit than the City Mini 2. Even though you can’t switch from world- to parent-facing, the seat is padded enough for daytime naps and boasts a near-flat recline that’s easy to pull down. For added comfort, consider purchasing the carrycot, sold separately, for newborns.

When it comes to city or country walks, pushing this pram one-handed is a breeze thanks to the lightweight frame and three-wheel design. Although this pram's smaller wheels offer enhanced manoeuvrability, facilitating easy navigation in tight spaces and precise corner turns, if you frequently come across rough, uneven surfaces, larger wheels may be more suitable.

A standout feature is the simple, one-handed fold that can be done whilst holding your baby, however keep in mind that this pram doesn’t stand up on its own once folded.  

Enhancing the City Mini GT2’s overall value is a range of optional extras (available separately) such as a belly bar, glider board for siblings and a convenient parent console (buggy organiser). Plus it's compatible with a variety of car seats like Britax, Cybex, Graco, Maxi-Cosi or Nuna, provided you purchase the correct adapters.

Tested by mum of two, Sarah: Read our full UPPAbaby Vista V2 review

The UPPAbaby Vista V3 builds on the success of its predecessors with key upgrades, making it an excellent choice for families with one or more children. With larger, puncture-proof rear tyres and enhanced suspension, it delivers an impressively smooth ride across all terrains—whether you're strolling through city streets, tackling uneven country paths, or navigating park trails.

Designed for versatility, the Vista V3 can be used from birth with the included carrycot and transitions seamlessly to the toddler seat, which is suitable from six months up to around four years old. It easily converts into a double stroller with additional adapters and even offers a buggy board option for older siblings.

Style meets practicality with a range of chic neutral colours and luxe leather details on the handle and bumper bar. The updated UP50+ canopy includes a pop-out extension, ensuring excellent sun and weather protection.

Parent tester Emma praised the Vista V3’s spaciousness and durability, saying, “The carrycot is roomy and provides a safe, comfortable space for Oscar to rest. The built-in sunshade is so clever and easy to pop out when needed. The stroller feels sturdy and secure, and even on uneven paths in our rural village, Oscar sleeps peacefully without a fuss.”

That said, the Vista V3 is on the larger side and doesn’t fold completely flat, making it a bit tricky to carry. If you have a smaller car, you may need to remove the back wheels to fit it into the boot.

With its premium design, all-terrain capabilities, and family-friendly features, the Vista V3 is a top contender for parents seeking a reliable and stylish pushchair - just be prepared to accommodate its size.

Tested by Mumsnet editor and parent, Laura Westerman: Read our full Thule Urban Glide 4-Wheel review

Who said you have to give up running when you become a parent? With Thule’s latest Urban Glide 4-Wheel you don’t have to, as your little one is guaranteed to have the comfiest ride while you clock in the miles. While previous Thule models like the Urban Glide 3 are designed with three wheels, this latest model boasts a contemporary design with four wheels for city urban living and stands out as one of the most lightweight, active all-terrain prams on the market.

With its large 16-inch back wheels, lockable swivel front wheels and robust frame with a low centre of gravity, you can rest assured that the Thule Urban Glide 4-Wheel offers you great control and a smooth ride for your small passenger, whether you’re jogging off road or strolling through the city. However, most experts agree that you should wait until your baby is at least six months old before jogging or running to ensure they have adequate head and neck control to handle bumps on the road. 

We also like the integrated twist handbrake that’s designed for easy and quick speed control, in addition to the existing footbrake. To engage the handbrake, simply twist the handlebar grip. Twisting it in one direction applies the brake, helping to slow down or stop completely, while twisting in the opposite direction releases the brake, allowing you to resume movement. 

Other great features of Thule Urban Glide 4-Wheel include the reflective wheel rims and canopy, an ergonomic, adjustable handlebar (wide enough to get a good grip whilst jogging), the vented reclining seat and sun canopy complete with a magnetic peekaboo window. Given that it’s designed for the outdoors, this pram could do with a slightly bigger, more extendable canopy though. 

It's also good to know that the Thule Urban Glide 4-Wheel has tyres similar to those on a bicycle. To prevent punctures, you'll need to buy and use Slime Sealant inside or a patch kit. Just like bicycle tyres, you'll also need to pump them up regularly.

With its ultra-smooth four-wheel suspension, the Bugaboo Fox 5 Renew is a premium all-terrain pram that’s well suited to both city streets and countryside paths. It’s packed with features designed to handle varied terrain, including large puncture-proof wheels that glide effortlessly over gravel, grass and uneven ground, alongside a robust yet lightweight frame that’s easy to manoeuvre, even in tight spaces.

Our tester Beccy reviewed the original Bugaboo Fox 5 in depth and many of the core strengths she highlighted carry over to the Fox 5 Renew, including the smooth ride, practical features and overall versatility.

Beccy says of the original model: “Finding the right pushchair that suits your lifestyle is imperative, and while the Bugaboo Fox 5 is larger than some other options on the market, it certainly doesn’t feel like it when you’re using it.” She found it excellent as a first pram for a new family, or for a growing family with an older child who’s already walking.

Another standout feature is the extra-large under-seat storage basket, which can comfortably carry up to 10kg, ideal for parents who never travel light. The easy one-handed fold and adjustable handlebar remain highlights, too. While the Fox 5 Renew doesn’t have the most compact one-piece fold with the seat attached, it can be folded into two pieces once the seat is removed, making it easier to fit into smaller car boots when needed.

Although the Fox 5 Renew sits at the premium end of the price spectrum, the carrycot (suitable from birth) is included, which helps justify the cost. Transitioning from carrycot to seat is slightly fiddly and takes around 15 minutes, but this is typically a one-off task unless you’re using the pram again for a second child.

We also like that the seat can be both parent- and world-facing and genuinely grows with your child, with the highest seat position measuring 59cm from floor to seat. The adjustable footrest allows you to add or remove around 5cm of leg length as your child grows. The five-point harness secures your child safely and is straightforward to use, though it isn’t a magnetic buckle like some other stroller models

What truly sets the Bugaboo Fox 5 Renew apart is its focus on sustainability. With a 30% lower environmental impact, thanks to recycled aluminium, recycled fabrics and bio-based materials, it represents a meaningful step towards Bugaboo’s goal of significantly reducing its footprint by 2026. The PureBreeze™ mattress helps keep the bassinet cool and breathable, while the five new nature-inspired colourways, including Deep Indigo and Desert Taupe Melange, give the pram a stylish, modern finish.

The Mamas & Papas Ocarro 2 takes everything we liked about the original and refines it into a pram that’s genuinely well suited to all-terrain use, without losing the sleek, premium look that makes it stand out. Behind its stylish exterior is a pushchair designed to cope confidently with life beyond the pavement.

Where the Ocarro 2 really earns its all-terrain credentials is in its four-wheel design. Unlike some three-wheel models that prioritise speed, the Ocarro 2’s four large wheels and upgraded suspension offer excellent stability and grip on uneven ground. Gravel paths, grass, muddy parks and woodland walks are all handled with ease, while the evenly distributed weight helps prevent tipping and keeps the ride smooth and controlled. At the same time, the front swivel wheels ensure it’s still easy to manoeuvre in shops and on city streets.

Comfort is another strong point. The deep, well-padded seat feels supportive and cosy, and the refined fabrics give it a high-end finish. The upgraded suspension noticeably softens bumps, making it a comfortable option for both everyday outings and longer off-road walks. The larger, easy-access under-seat basket is handy for changing bags, shopping or outdoor gear.

The Ocarro 2 is also travel system compatible. You can fit a baby car seat from the likes of Maxi-Cosi, Cybex or Joie (using adapters) for easy on-the-go transfers straight from car to pram, or use the carrycot, which is now overnight sleep approved, making it a practical choice for naps at home or away. This flexibility means you can adapt the setup as your child grows, from newborn journeys to toddler adventures, without needing a separate travel system.

Folding has been improved too, with a one-hand fold that works whether the seat is parent- or world-facing, and the option of a one- or two-piece compact fold for easier storage in a car boot. That said, at around 13.9kg the Ocarro 2 is still on the heavier side, so it’s not the best choice if you need something ultra-light or frequently lift it in and out of the car.

Overall, the Ocarro 2 is a great pick for parents who want a true all-terrain pram with four-wheel stability, strong suspension and travel-system versatility. If you value comfort, control and practical adaptability over outright portability, it’s a confident and capable option for both town and country life.

Tested by Mumsnet editor and parent, Laura Westerman: Read our full Thule Spring 2 review

The Thule Spring 2 is a strong choice if you’re looking for an all-terrain pram that feels noticeably more compact than traditional off-road buggies like the Thule Urban Glide 3. When our tester Laura tried it out with her three-year-old, she found it handled grass, gravel and uneven paths with ease, yet still felt nimble enough for everyday town use. It hits a sweet spot between a practical city stroller and a full-sized, performance-led all-terrain pushchair - capable, but far less cumbersome.

We particularly liked the one-handed fold, which makes collapsing the pram quick and manageable when you’ve got your hands full. Once folded, it’s compact enough to slot into most car boots without a struggle, and the carry handle makes lifting easier. That said, at 10.8kg it’s not especially lightweight, so you’ll still feel it if you’re regularly lifting it in and out of the car.

Comfort hasn’t been overlooked either. The reclining seat and integrated leg rest make longer walks more enjoyable for little passengers, while the generous UPF 50+ canopy (with a handy peekaboo window) offers solid protection from the elements. Although it’s world-facing once your child is in the main seat, the Spring 2 can be used from birth with a compatible bassinet or car seat - a welcome improvement on the original Thule Spring, which didn’t offer the same newborn flexibility.

There are a few compromises to factor in. The rain cover and bumper bar are sold separately, which increases the overall cost, and it doesn’t stand when folded, making storage slightly less convenient. Overall, though, for families who want a buggy that's just as comfortable on the nursery run as on a woodland wak, the Spring 2 strikes a thoughtful balance between capability and everyday practicality.

Tested by new mum, Tamsin: Read our full Silver Cross Reef 2 review

Stylish, sturdy, and thoughtfully designed, the Silver Cross Reef 2 stands out as a highly durable and versatile all-terrain pram. With a well-cushioned, lie-flat seat and a breathable carrycot included in the nine-piece bundle, it’s suitable from birth and grows with your child. The seat can be used parent-or world-facing (with a simple switch around) and the upgraded suspension handles uneven terrain with ease—whether you’re strolling city streets or navigating muddy woodland paths.

Parent tester Tamsin praised its sleek design and “loads of little touches to make it look even nicer,” as well as how smooth and easy it was to push—even shortly after a C-section. Both the carrycot and stroller seat feature extra-large UPF50+ canopies with ventilation panels at the front and rear, providing added airflow for your baby’s comfort on warmer days.

Other thoughtful features include a magnetic buckle and no-rethread harness for quicker, fuss-free fastening, and a one-handed fold with the seat still attached. While the frame is on the heavier side and the under-seat storage (53L or approx. 5kg) is slightly smaller than rivals like the Bugaboo Fox 5 (9kg), the Silver Cross Reef 2’s strong everyday performance, premium finish, and all-terrain capability make it a smart, long-term choice for growing families.

Depending on which bundle you go for—whether it’s the 9-piece Accessory Bundle that Tamsin tested, the 11-piece Ultimate Infant Carrier Bundle, or the 12-piece Family Car Seat Bundle with two car seats—the Reef 2 comes with a generous range of practical extras. The standard 9-piece option includes essentials like a footmuff, changing backpack, rain cover, and car seat adapters, helping to reduce extra costs down the line. And for families with more than one child, Silver Cross also offers a compatible Ride-On Board (sold separately), making day-to-day outings more manageable with older siblings in tow.

Tested by mum of two, Bethan: Read our full UPPAbaby Ridge review

Whether you need a reliable all-terrain pram for city walks and gravel roads or a robust running buggy for uneven terrain, the UPPAbaby Ridge delivers the best of both worlds. Designed for active families, the sleek three-wheeled design features large puncture-resistant foam tyres that roll over pretty much anything, excellent shock-absorbing suspension, a safe disc hand-brake system for quick stops, and a solid chassis offering enhanced stability, manoeuvrability, and ease of handling.

While the UPPAbaby Ridge is larger than some other all-terrain prams, making it a bit tricky to lift in and out of the car, it compensates with numerous features for your child's comfort. These include a larger, roomier seat, superior suspension compared to the UPPAbaby Vista 2, well-padded shoulder straps and it’s great recline system that allows your child to lie almost flat for naps on the go.

The padded handlebar offers easy steering for parents and this model can double up as a running buggy too as it’s made with a sophisticated braking system that features a hand lever connected to a disc brake on the pram’s wheels. Squeezing the lever presses brake pads against the disc, providing strong and reliable braking for sudden stops or gradual descents

Our parent tester Bethan agrees that it’s an excellent choice for parents seeking a high-quality, reasonably priced, all-terrain pram that you can trust on gravel roads, bumpy pavements and woodland walks.

The only downside is that the UPPAbaby Ridge doesn’t fold quite as flat as some other all-terrain prams and needs two hands to unfold as you need to release the locking mechanisms with one hand, whilst unfolding the chassis with the other.

Tested by mum of two, Liz: Read our full Mountain Buggy Duet V3.2 review (older model)

If you’re looking for a sleek, yet robust double buggy that can be trusted to handle all bumps in the road with two kids in tow, then the Mountain Buggy Duet V4 is a good option.  

Besides its robust, lightweight frame and spacious, comfy seats, this pram’s biggest selling point is its slim design in comparison to other side-by-side double buggies. With a width measurement of only 63cm, it shares the width of a single pram, making it one of the most compact double prams on the market. 

Our parent tester Liz, who tested the older V3.2 version, loved how well the Duet fitted into all aspects of her life. Despite having a narrow front door, she found it convenient to easily manoeuvre the Duet into her house. This proved particularly handy when prepping it before leaving or bringing it inside while her children were asleep.

When it comes to steering, the Duet handles on and off-road paths like a dream. Its four 10 inch air-filled tyres offer excellent all-round suspension which is what you’d expect from a pram that’s originally designed to handle New Zealand's challenging terrain. Because the Duet is both lightweight and easy to steer, it’s not intimidating to change direction quickly, and navigate curbs or uneven terrain like cobbled roads – even with it being a double pram.

The padded seats on the Duet are just 29cm wide, but still comfortable and spacious for older children who might be at the upper end of the pram's weight limit. The seats come with a bumper bar, which is easy to unclip and swing out of the way when getting your children in or out, and a leg rest that can be extended with one hand. 

Although the Duet comes with two individual UPF 50+ canopies with a pull-out mesh sun visor, they don't offer as much coverage as some of the other prams on our list like the Bugaboo Fox 5 or Out N About Nipper V5. However, they are water-repellent along with the rest of the pram’s polyester fabric. 

The Duet is adaptable as a travel system, accommodating up to two cocoons, carrycots that convert into parent-facing seats, and two car seats. It can also convert to a single pram with the Mountain Buggy Parenting Bag (sold separately), a nifty shopping basket with handles that replaces one of the seats. 

This versatility makes it suitable for both newborn twins and siblings of varying ages. But keep in mind, the seats can unzip and clip off. This might be a bit tricky if you like to change things around a lot.

Tested by new mum of one, Alice: Read our full Nuna Triv Next stroller review

The Nuna Triv Next has been awarded the best lightweight all-terrain pram on our buyer’s guide, standing out for its unique combination of portability and robust off-road capability. While most all-terrain prams exceed 10 kg, the Triv Next weighs in at just 8.7 kg, making it significantly lighter and more practical for everyday use.

It’s worth noting that this stroller isn’t designed for jogging or tackling extreme terrains—it has four wheels rather than three, and its front wheels are smaller than those found on traditional off-road models. However, its large rear wheels and enhanced suspension excel on park trails, uneven terrain, gravel roads, and city strolls, offering a smooth and steady ride for both parent and baby.

This pram blends the lightweight convenience of a city stroller with many features expected of a full-sized all-terrain option. Key highlights include a reversible seat (parent- and world-facing), a fully extendable canopy, and compatibility with the Nuna LYTL carrycot and Nuna Pipa Urbn car seat, making it ideal for families on the go. The adjustable handlebar ensures comfort and control when steering over varied surfaces, and the bumper bar adds an extra layer of safety for little ones during adventures.

Parent-tester Alice praised the Nuna Triv Next after testing it with her 4-month-old daughter, saying: “It’s so versatile - it handles gravel paths and park walks beautifully while being compact enough for quick trips into town. We now use it as our go-to stroller.”

Additional thoughtful features include a magnetic buckle for the harness, a removable bumper bar, an adjustable calf rest, and a cushioned handlebar suitable for parents of all heights. While we would appreciate a larger storage basket and a bit more head padding for extra comfort, the Triv Next offers excellent value for its versatile design.

This model is available as a standalone stroller, as part of a bundle with the carrycot and car seat, or in the exclusive Liberty London's Fantasy Land Collection featuring hand-drawn floral prints (sold exclusively at John Lewis).

Tested by mum of two, Suze: Read our full Cybex Gold e-Gazelle S stroller review

The Cybex e-Gazelle S stroller is a robust and versatile choice for families looking for an all-terrain pram with an electric motor, giving you the push you need up steeper inclines and rough terrain. Tested over several months by mum Suze with her toddler and six-month-old, the stroller's adjustable ergonomic handle and large suspension wheels made steering effortless across various terrains. The well-padded seats provided comfort for her children during extended outings, and the spacious 23kg storage basket was ideal for essentials.

A standout feature is its e-powered assistance, functioning like an e-bike to aid in pushing uphill and regulating speed downhill. Control is facilitated through a user-friendly lever and intuitive interface integrated into the handlebar, allowing parents to easily manage the level of assistance. Additionally, the stroller includes an automatic rocking function that gently moves it back and forth to soothe the child.

However, at over 14kg, it is heavier than some of the other all-terrain prams on our list, making public transport navigation challenging. Suze found it best suited for suburban areas, parks, and light off-road paths, where its stability and storage capacity are major wins.
