Buggy for off roading

[Liopleurodon]

Can you recommend a buggy for off roading, please!
I have a fixed wheel Nipper. It has 12in wheels, but we need something with much bigger wheels for all the off road walking. The Nipper is good for tracks and trails, but not so good on really rough terrain.
Ideally we'd like something with a fixed front wheel and wheels bigger than 12ins. Air-filled tyres are a must.
DS is now 8 months so lie-flat is not necessary. Baskets and other add ons are not really required.

So, a back to basics off roading buggy with fixed front wheel, air tyres, large 16in+ wheels and lightweight!

Any ideas please!
Thank you.

Baby Jogger Performance like this. 20 inch wheels, fixed front wheel, light to push, awesome off road.

I have one that I bought for running but it's probably been used for off-road walks just as much. Oh, and I also run off road with it - and DS generally falls asleep, no matter how nobbly the terrain, which has always reassured me that it soaks up the bumps really well.

It is awesome - money well spent I think.

You can get them on ebay quite often if you keep a look out.

Not sure there are any other buggies available in this country with wheels bigger than 12".

Thank you for the link...have a few now on watch on ebay!

Before DS I did run competitively, but his birth has stopped all that. Walking is the next best option for me!

Oh, stopped it forever??

If it's only temporary you might want to join in here for a bit of support and encouragement - lots of lovely mums doing running, some who have just had their babies, some are a bit more experienced (one has 6 children and still runs marathons!!).

If it is forever, sorry for being an insensitive buffoon

Hi TallBird..not an insensitive buffoon at all!
I used to post a lot on that forum. I've run a few marathons in my time, one inbetween DD and DS. It is a very helpful forum.
DS was an emergency c-section, the scar is off center (by 6cm) and very much up hill (by about 4cm). My stomach muscles have not repaired symmetrically so I fell lopsided when I run. I'm hoping that the pain I get in the scar reduces over time, then I can train up my stomach muscles so I can run again without pain or lopsidedness.
We (DS and I) are both here so I cannot complain. Over time, things should improve. Walking is a good option. Occasionally I break into a jog...and then regret it!
Thanks again though- it may be worth posting there to find out how others have got round this lopsided problem.

That sounds pretty nasty - how old is DS now? Have you seen anyone about your stomach muscles?

Have never heard of a problem where your scar is off centre - I too had an emergency c-section for DS but everything is very central and horizontal - I'm guessing they had problems getting your DS out and needed to go a bit off piste?

You won't regret buying a babyjogger if you get one, even if you don't ever use it for running - they are great. Take up quite a bit of space though as they are very long, and you don't get looked at when using it as it is quite dramatic looking with the massive wheels.
As a total aside, I found ours a life-saver during the snow as well, if we hadn't had it I would have been housebound as our regular pram wouldn't cope with the snow and I was a little bit too pregnant to risk carrying DS in the backpack.

Anyway, that's all by the by - hope you heal up soon. Good luck
