Three-wheelers are an excellent choice for strollers that are lightweight but can still handle some more rough terrain. The Thule Shine is a great choice, and we called it a previous winner in this category. It's more expensive than our other choices, but it's sturdy, and comes with a variety of features (car seat compatible! Dual cup holders! This makes it a worthy purchase.

The BOB Sport Utility

The BOB Sport Utility is the perfect stroller for parents who want to go away from the main roads and exercise. The jogging stoller features pneumatic knobby wheels that are perfect for trail runs, and a handbrake that lets you to control the downhills. It also has a top-of-the-line suspension system with a two-step folding system and a huge cargo basket. If you buy the right adapters, you can use it with an infant car seat.

The biggest drawback to this jogging stroller is its weight and size when folded. It weighs 25 pounds and folds down to 17,850 cubic inches which is average for this group. Its size is not suitable for tight turns and small trunk space. However, it does have small handles on the back of the storage bin that can be pulled to fold the stroller into a compact flat position.

The stroller is easy to maneuver despite its size. The front wheel features a locking mechanism that lets you switch it from normal to locked running mode, and the handlebar is adjustable in height for different heights of parents. It has a wide seat that can be reclined to almost flat and an enormous vinyl peekaboo window.

Another plus is the Sport Utility's impressive quality, which earned it a 9 out of 10 in this measurement. It features a sturdy aluminum frame, with tight connections, and no rough edges or weak stitching. It also has adjustable dampers, that help in the smooth rolling performance.

The Sport Utility stroller, like the other BOBs we've reviewed comes with adapters for car seats. This lets you use it with a variety of car seats for infants. In our tests, it took us about 5:24 hours to put together the stroller from packing it up to being ready to go. The assembly was simple, but you will need a Philips screwdriver. The manual included is well-organized and clear, but it's a good idea to keep one in your the case.

The Baby Trend Expedition

This jogger is built with safety, fashion and convenience as its main priorities. It comes with an adult tray with two cup holders and covered storage, and a child tray that is able to swing away and includes two cup holders. The adjustable canopy that has a peek-a-boo window and the extra-wide ergonomically designed handle provide comfort for both parents. The lockable front swivel wheel on the front can be locked for jogging, and unlocked for strolling. The large storage basket is perfect for storing the essential items you need to travel with.

Consumer Reports' Strollers test program shows that the Baby Trend Expedition Jogger is an excellent value for its price and has higher scores than many of its competitors across several categories. This includes ease of using the 5-point harness that folds and unfolds, adjusting the backrest, activating the brakes on the wheel and infant car seat removal and installation (only for compatible models). It has a simple design with a one-handed recline that's deep enough to allow napping. However, the ratcheting canopy cover isn't easy to secure. It takes around 8 minutes to put it in place. The instructions are confusing, with several languages mixed up and confusing illustrations.

The only negative about this stroller all terrain is that it does not have suspension, which means the ride may be bumpier than other strollers that we've tested. This could make it uncomfortable for children who are younger especially when their nap is set to start. The air-filled wheels are great, but don't offer as much cushioning as rubber tires found on strollers that are more expensive.

This is an excellent option for those who don't run often but still need to be able to move freely across grass or gravel without worrying about obstructions like curbs or other obstacles. It is also a great option for families with little space, since it folds down into a compact unit. It is lighter than many of the other joggers that we've tested and can be tucked away in places that larger strollers can't.

It's also easier to lift and move than the bulkier joggers that we've test. This is especially important when you have to lift it in and out of your car trunk regularly or if you are always in motion.

The Nipper Sport V4

If you're looking for the best pram for rough terrain jogger for all terrain, then look no further than the Nipper Sport V4. This latest version of Out 'n' Around's 3-wheeled jogging stroller is designed specifically for jogging and comes with large 16 pneumatic alloy tyres designed to take on even the most difficult paths and tracks. The Nipper is lightweight and compact which makes it easy to transport and fold.

This pushchair is equipped with an adjustable handlebar and front suspension, which makes it perfect for all terrains. It has an adjustable quilted liner that can be removed and a multi-position recline, as well a 5-point safety harness that is padded and a hinged bar. It also works with travel systems, meaning you can use it with the Cybex Maxi-Cosi or Be-Safe baby car seat.

The buggy also has an enormous front wheel that assists in providing an easy ride for the child. This is particularly crucial when it comes to tackling terrain that is difficult, as it allows the buggy to better track and glide more easily over bumps and dips. Nipper Sport is easy to drive and has a single pedal brake. The handlebar is ergonomic in design and a single pedal easy-lock brake with a variable steering. The buggy is easy to fold and has clear step-bystep instructions and illustrations in the user manual.

The Nipper Sport is suitable for children from the age of six months, and can be used with a newborn due to its infant insert built-in. However, it is not recommended for use with babies less than six months old because the harness of the seat isn't tight enough to safely secure them.

Another issue with this model is the lack of a storage basket under the seat. It does have a small shopping pouch to the rear of the seat, but it won't be large enough for the size of a large bag for changing. It is, however, extremely easy to open and close, using only two hand-holds needed to release the plastic catches on the opposite side of the lower frame. The red handlebar has a secondary lock that can be released with just one hand.
