The ability to recline the seat could be a great benefit for those who have to sleep or suffer from medical conditions that require the seat to be in a reclined position (eg epilepsy).
The best All-Terrain buggy features will differ based on your needs. A dune buggy could be a better choice if you wish to take your family on exciting off-road excursions.

The Buggy features a custom suspension that allows it to absorb bumps and ensure you're comfortable on rough terrain.

Some models come with a lockable wheel on the front for stability while jogging on difficult surfaces. Some have a handlebar adjustable to fit different levels. Some may even have an operated hand brake that helps you retain control going downhill or on rough terrain.
The UPPAbaby Ridge All-Terrain Buggy is a great model. It was designed and built to handle different terrains and surfaces. MFM reviewer Kath found the buggy easy to operate and able to manage different terrains.
Safety
A all-terrain buggy is an ideal option for families with children who have physical, mobility or behavioural issues. It can help them be more active with their siblings, and also to get out as families. However, it's important to remember that an all-terrain vehicle is not a toy and could be dangerous if not handled correctly.
Accidents involving off-road vehicles are common and can be deadly for young people. While all terrain 4 wheel stroller pushchairsandprams are designed to handle rough terrain, they are unstable and can roll over if the driver loses control. ATVs lack many of the safety features found in cars and trucks.
The best ATVs have a large clearance from the ground to avoid getting stuck in the brush, rocks and other debris. Some buggys come with a locking rear tire as well as suspension to help keep them steady on rough or unpaved terrain. A front-swivel lockable wheel is useful to turn in tight spots.
A brake system that has a hand-operated brake is an additional essential feature. It provides additional control when pushing up or down hills. This gives parents and their caregivers more confidence when traversing difficult terrain. Many all terrain buggies come with a large, extendable 50+ UV sun canopy to shield their children from the UV rays that cause harm to the sun.
A robust all-terrain buggy will have sturdy, large wheels that can withstand bumpy or rocky terrain. They also come with suspensions that allow you to push them over rough terrain more easily, making the ride more comfortable for your baby or toddler. All terrain buggys with air-filled tires offer the smoothest ride. However they are susceptible to punctures. It is therefore recommended to keep a spare set of tyres. Foam or gel-filled tyres are becoming more common in all-terrain strollers too.
One of our top buggies for all terrain is the Mountain Buggy Urban Glide 2 which MFM reviewer Kath put through its paces on family walks. She was pleased with the way it performed on any terrain including cobbles and dirt roads, and that it was easy to navigate up and over kerbs. The rear wheel is 16 inches and lockable swivel for the forward wheel are perfect for off-road conditions. Additionally, the suspension is great and the twist handbrake.
Design
A well-constructed all-terrain vehicle will have an excellent suspension system that absorbs shocks from uneven terrain. It will also have large wheels (preferably air-filled) which provide adequate traction, especially on rough terrain and will feature a front wheel that can be locked to ensure stability while jogging or to navigate tricky terrain. It should also have an adjustable handlebar for parents of different heights, and a reliable brake system that stops the buggy when it begins to roll.
All-terrain buggies are designed to enable children with mild to moderate needs (physical or behavioural) to enjoy the outdoors without the limitations of a traditional pushchair or wheelchair. They can assist them to be more active and improve their quality by allowing them to access areas that are difficult or impossible to reach on feet. They include nature trails, woodlands and country parks, as well as the beach.
The Delta All-Terrain special needs buggy comes with a number of impressive features that makes it a fantastic option for families who want to enjoy the outdoors. It has an adjustable handlebar, a spacious basket and a hand-operated break that gives you more control when you go downhill or over rough terrain. It's easy to fold and comes with sun canopy and strap pads to protect your child from the elements.
A dune buggy excels in sandy terrains and can be used off-road without difficulty because of its large, wide tires and high ground clearance. It has a lower centre of gravity and is less likely to tip over than an ATV. The frame's protection can impede the driver's visibility, which could be a cause for concern.

Certain buggies come with an optional postural support to support the body of the rider, assisting them maintain their posture while traveling. Certain models come with LED visibility lights on the sides of the chassis. These can be recharged and improve your visibility when walking in low-light conditions.
