Looking for pram suggestions - outdoorsy!

Hello!

Looking for pram suggestions - we are non drivers and do a lot of walking mainly country roads and muddy tracks. We use public transport a fair bit and we also live in a tiny house with no porch or anything so something foldable / easy to store would be ideal too.

I've looked at the babyzen yoyo but worry it might not cope with the muddy walks.

Thanks :)

Baby Jogger buggies with the one hand fold would be good too - we have the City Mini and love it but for country walks you probably want the Elite or Summit.

We've loved our baby jogger summit x3 - copes well with any terrain we've tried it on.
Also goes flat so can be used from birth (though the is a separate carrycot if you prefer) Folds really easily, and the wheels come off really easily if you need it to be smaller for storage. Ours just lives in my car boot though!

We have a Baby jogger Summit x3, which we love. It's really nicely made and so much sturdier than our other off road one (which broke after 2 years). It is a forward facing pushchair, but you can purchase a carry cot for it or you can get a kit to attach your car seat (which then makes it rear facing). The off road ones are bulky. Though this one does fold down nicely, certainly more so than our previous one, which was a mothercare pushchair I don't think they even make anymore. I don't think you'll get around the size issue if you do want an off road one. You may find it likely makes more sense to get a wrap or carrier for use on public transport. I took a pram on a train once and decided never again! It was a nightmare getting on and off and then getting up and down steps at the station (no lift). On buses and trains after that, I've always used a wrap and it was so much easier. Alternatively, when your little one gets a bit bigger, a small foldable lightweight stroller would be ideal for the bus.

Would second wraps/slings/carriers for public transport, we're in zone 2 in London and never take our buggy on the tube. So much easier to bung our tank of a toddler in the Manduca.

Another vote for:

A wrap/sling you're really happy with
Out n about nipper
Mountain buggy
Baby jogger

Also take a look at the Britax bob - that's what we have (although we have for running). I can't say it folds small though!
