A sturdy suspension is helpful for handling bumps and humps, however it can be heavy and contribute to the overall weight of your pushchair.

The size of the tyre is also important. Knowing how to read the tyre size is important for safety, performance and longevity.

Safety

The exception is Mountain Buggies which have a specially-designed suspension system that has been tested by an independent party across all types of terrain.
