Pram/pushchair 3 wheel to cope with rough terrain

I want the above without a pump up tyre as don't want a puncture !
We are in the country and need something that can cope with rough terrain but is a comfy ride for baby new born onto toddler. What can others recommend that gives the least bumpy ride and can cope with rough terrain as in fields !
If it is a big pram/pushchair no worries more important for baby to have a good smooth ride

I've had a variety of off roaders (we live on a farm) both with solid and air filled wheels. And I got rid of the solid wheeled herqules pretty quickly. It was a brilliant pram but the wheels were so fat that they skidded over the mud rather than sinking in and finding some grip.

I got on best with a vintage urban detour and then latterly my BJ summit which is amazing. I've had one puncture in 15 months and so I'm convinced its pretty tough.

They take a BJ carrycot for the early days, and the huge hood is just to die for!

Can't recommend highly enough the baby jogger city elite. It's fab! Forever air tyres, fantastic huge hood, lay flat seat with carrycot option. My DD is 2, it's our daily pram with loads of room for her comfort. A dream to push too, feels so light and lovely suspension. Nice sized basket and really handy parent console up at handle height.

You will be hard pressed to find better than a Baby Jogger anyway, and theirs have 'forever air' ie non puncture tyres. Look at the Elite and the Summit.

I have a summit, it's brilliant. The retailer I bought it from lined the tires with anti puncture slime which might help. I haven't had it for long enough to know!

I'm using a maxi cosi mura 3 and I love it although the tyres are air but we did intend to fill them (another job dp hasn't yet got round to!) with slime/ tyre weld.
Currently using it in carrycot mode and it's one of the biggest carrycot out there (doubles up for daytime napsdownstairs so we wanted as large as possible)
It took a couple if outings to get used to manoeuvring the three wheels but now I love how well it turns. I find it really good on rough ground and easy to get up and down kerbs, steps and rocks.
The online reviews suggested its too big and heavy. I haven't yet found a door it won't go through. Can lift in and out of car boot ok so weight not troubling me.

Ps the other pram in the running was an icandy cherry jogger, but where I paid 450ish for pram, carrycot and car seat the candy was 800 for just pram and carrycot. We chose based on price and wider carrycot although dp thought the build quality was better on icandy ( and it did look prettier!) so time will tell on that (dc is only 8 weeks) so we haven't used it long term yet.

Another vote for Baby Jogger City Elite. Love it!! Is excellent off road and so easy to push.
