If you're planning on using your pushchair off-roading, opt for a model with air-filled tyres (sometimes called pneumatic tyres) that are able to handle rough terrain. These tyres can handle the bumps and bumps of muddy paths or gravel tracks better than moulded plastic wheels, giving your baby an enjoyable ride. Some models come with an adjustable front wheel that can be used when traveling over a rough terrain too.
