We Do Loads of Long Walks - What Buggy Won’t Get Stuck Everywhere?

We Do Loads of Long Walks - What Buggy Won’t Get Stuck Everywhere?

If most of your walks involve muddy paths, woodland trails, uneven tracks or countryside footpaths, you’ve probably discovered this the hard way:

Many pushchairs just aren’t designed for real outdoor walking.

Small wheels sink, front wheels jam, and suddenly a “nice walk” turns into a workout you didn’t sign up for. If you do loads of long walks, the right buggy makes all the difference, not just to how far you can go, but how often you actually want to go.

This guide explains what to look for in an off-road buggy, and which Out’n’About Nipper works best for different types of walks.

What Buggy Is Best for Long, Off-Road All Terrain Walks?

For long walks on rough or muddy ground, the best option is a three-wheeled, all-terrain pushchair with large wheels and suspension.

A proper off road buggy should:

  • Roll over uneven ground instead of stopping dead
  • Stay stable on slopes and rough paths
  • Be comfortable to push for long distances
  • Keep your child comfortable on bumpy terrain

This is why outdoor families almost always choose a 3 wheeled pushchair rather than a traditional four-wheel buggy.

Why Three Wheels Work Better Off Road

A three wheel buggy (also called a three wheel stroller or 3 wheeler pram) is much easier to handle on rough ground.

Compared to four-wheel buggys, a 3 wheeler stroller:

  • Steers more easily on narrow paths
  • Doesn’t snag on ruts, roots or gravel
  • Handles mud and grass more confidently
  • Feels lighter to push over long walks

When combined with big wheels and suspension, a three-wheeled design is ideal for anyone doing regular countryside or off-road walking.

What Else Matters for Outdoor Walking?

If you’re choosing a walking pushchair or all terrain pram, look for:

Large, Air-Filled Wheels

Big wheels help the buggy glide over stones, mud and uneven ground. They’re essential for a stroller with big wheels or off road stroller.

Proper Suspension

Suspension reduces jolts for your child and strain on your arms. This is why prams with suspension are so much easier on longer walks.

Lightweight but Strong Frame

You want something robust enough for outdoor use, but not so heavy it’s hard to lift or manoeuvre.

The Out’n’About Nipper range is designed around these principles.



Which Out’n’About Nipper Is Right for You?

All our Nippers are all terrain pushchairs, but each one suits a slightly different kind of walking.

 

The Nipper V6  - Best for Everyday Long Walks

Best if:

  • You walk daily on mixed terrain
  • You want one buggy for paths, tracks and pavements
  • You’re looking for the best all terrain pushchair for everyday use

The Nipper V6 is a lightweight, easy-to-push three wheel buggy that handles countryside walks without feeling bulky. It’s a popular choice for families who want a reliable walking pram that works everywhere.

It’s also suitable from birth with lay flat seats, or if you combine with a Nipper Switch or Nipper Pod as part of pushchair bundle.

 

Nipper V6 Plus - Best for Muddy Walks, Uneven Terrain and Running

Best if:

  • Your walks include deep mud, fields or farm tracks
  • You live rurally or walk in all weather
  • You want extra clearance and stability
  • You want to run with your buggy.

With larger 14inch wheels and a handlebar brake,  the Nipper V6 Plus is designed for tougher ground. If you regularly walk off road and want something that keeps moving when conditions are poor, this is a strong choice for a best off road pushchair, and like the Nipper V6 it is suitable from birth.

It is also the first swivel wheel buggy to be certified for running under the BS EN1888-3:2023 running standard (suitable for running with children aged 9months+).

 

Nipper Double V6 - Best for Long Walks with Two Children

Best if:

  • You have twins or two young children
  • You still want to enjoy off-road walks
  • You need stability and balance on uneven ground
  • You're looking for a double that you can use in shops, and walks.

The Nipper Double offers the same off-road performance as the single versions, making it one of the most practical all terrain pushchairs for families with more than one child. It's narrow 72cm width make it one of the narrowest doubles on the market and will fit through standard sized doors with ease - no dismantling and reassembling required like other side by side buggies. The double is suitable from newborn to approximately 4yrs and can handle 22kgs in each seat.

Best if:

  • You have twins or two young children
  • Your walks include deep mud, fields or uneven tracks
  • You want extra stability and clearance for off-road terrain
  • You want a double buggy that you can run with.

The Nipper Double V6 Plus is built for families who want to keep walking, even when the ground gets tough. Like the single Nipper V6 Plus, it features larger 14-inch wheels designed to handle muddy, uneven terrain with confidence, giving you better clearance and smoother pushing on rough ground.

Despite being a double, it remains remarkably practical. With a narrow 72cm width, it fits through standard doorways and shop aisles with ease, so you don’t have to compromise between outdoor walks and everyday errands.

Suitable from newborn to around 4 years, the Nipper Double V6 Plus can carry up to 22kg per seat, making it a long-lasting option for growing families. If you’re looking for a true all-terrain double pushchair that offers the same off-road capability as the Nipper Plus, just with space for two, this is the ideal choice.

It is also the first swivel wheel double buggy to be certified for running under the BS EN1888-3:2023 running standard (suitable for running with children aged 9months+).
