Narrowing Down Your Choices
With so many different off-road buggies to choose from, you’ll want a way to narrow down your choices.

- Check reviews carefully for durability, reliability and practicality.

Finally, Before You Set Off For Your Hike
It can take some time to adapt your active lifestyle to the needs of a baby, especially if it’s your first one. And once you’ve chosen a suitable off-road buggy, you’ll want to get the most from it. With that in mind, here are some additional tips to make hiking with your baby a success.
- Check that the trails are family friendly, with plenty of stop off points, picnic and suitable changing areas.
- Find out the opening and closing times and whether you need a permit before you go.
- Ask about parking options and ensure carparks aren’t too far away from the trail.
- To begin with, perhaps focus on nearby trails that don’t attract huge crowds. This will limit travel time for a new baby, and less popular trails should be quieter overall.
