1. Mountain Buggy Urban Jungle

The perfect pram if you know you’re going to be travelling off the beaten track a lot. Parents in the Tell Me Baby community say the Mountain Buggy Urban Jungle is great for gravel roads, farm life, and parents who like to jog with their baby.

Parent review: “My everyday running pram. Prior to becoming a mum, I would run close to 100km a week. Since becoming a mum I obviously don’t have the capacity to run as much but having this pram has made me able to continue my love of running and with a new little friend in tow.”

2. Baby Jogger City Mini GT

Parents love the Baby Jogger City Mini GT, with many saying it’s great for all-terrain. It’s also easy to set up and has great steering.

Parent review: “Absolutely adore this pram. It allows me to stay fit/ healthy and get that unique endorphin release from running, while also giving Bub a comfortable and scenic ride! It’s light, easy to steer and perfect for variable terrain like nature hikes! It’s simply fabulous and I use it daily! My only regret is that I didn’t invest in one sooner. I highly recommend for anyone that loves to run/ take baby on adventures!”

3. Bugaboo Donkey2 Mono

Although a bit bulky, parents in the Tell Me Baby community say they like that the Bugaboo Donkey2 Mono easily converts from a mono to a duo and it’s easy to manouver.

Parent review: “This pram has helped me hugely. What I love most is the versatility of this pram. I have used it for everything – long walks even on the beach, bush trekking, running (thanks to being able to lock the front wheels), and (let’s get real) those 1am walks around the house when my son was a couple months old and nothing else would soothe him.

4. Mountain Buggy Swift

Another popular pram from Mountain Buggy, the Mountain Buggy Swift is lightweight and perfect for going off-road.

Parent review: “Mountain Buggys make light, exercise friendly prams. The chassis is light, looks great even after years of use and the tyres are big and wide perfect for all terrains. Three wheels for easy manouverability and the front wheel can be locked straight for running. Folds away small for easy bit into car boot. Love ours to bits and served us over so many years.”

5. Baby Jogger Summit X3

With its all-wheel suspension, the Summit X3 is perfect for running and walking on dirt tracks, roads, and even the beach.

Parent review: “Off-road, running and everyday use. Our Summit is now 3 years old and still going strong. We use this pram for long walks across all-terrain, beach, headlands, road, dirt tracks, it is the best! Easy to steer, can lock in front wheel when running, great height for all in the family including 6’2” hubby and 10 year old daughter. We can not fault this pram!”

6. Edwards & Co Oscar Mx Stroller

Winner of the 2022 Tell Me Baby awards, the Edwards & Co Oscar Mx Stroller is lightweight and easy to steer, making it great for running.

Parent review: “I love everything about this pram! Easy to fold up and down, super lightweight and so easy to steer, and if you’re into jogging it’s the perfect pram to run with! I love that it lays down fully flat so perfect if bub falls asleep while out walking! And the basket is HUGE! it honestly fits sooo much stuff under there even a balance bike will fit! I could write about how amazing this pram is forever!”

7. Bumbleride Speed Stroller

Purpose-built for running, the Bumbleride Speed Stroller is ideal for the more serious runner who runs 15km+ per week.

Parent review: “This pram is fantastic for jogging and offers a smooth ride over most terrains even at a reasonable pace. The front wheel has a lock or swivel option as well as a partial swivel so you can choose the best option for jogging or navigating smaller spaces. It does not have a hand brake unlike other joggers on the market but I have not found this to be a problem (I do run on flat surfaces though)…”

8. Safety 1st Wanderer X

The Safety 1st Wanderer X is the ultimate all-terrain 3 Wheel Stroller. It was designed for tackling all surfaces from city streets to bush tracks, with ease.

Parent review: “I have spent a lot of time doing research about which pram is most suitable for my needs. This pram ticked all my boxes. It is Great on rough terrain, I can go jogging with it.”
