Do you really need a stroller for different occasions? Not necessarily! These all-terrain strollers are the best multipurpose buggies in the strolling world today. With many practical features, accessories and amazing suspensions to get you through all types of terrain, you could never need another stroller again. Check out our favorites to see which one is right for you.
Valco Baby TriMode EX
The Valco Baby TriMode EX ($500) has practical functions, great maneuverability and all the storage a mom could ever want or need. Every feature on the TriMode EX has an innovative use: The adjustable seat reclines easily with one hand and lays completely flat for a newborn, the zip-off storage bag detaches in a flash and instantly becomes a traveling diaper bag, the front wheel easily adjusts to three positions with a twist of a knob and the round hood system has a zip-extender, which creates even more coverage for an already large canopy. The mesh peek-a-boo window at the top of the sun canopy provides necessary airflow for your child’s comfort while the extremely lightweight frame and adjustable handle bar makes mom happy.

Phil & Teds Explorer
The Phil & Teds Explorer ($500) gives moms seven different seating configurations when used with the optional doubles kit.

There’s no re-threading the five-point harness on this all-terrain stroller — just twist and adjust up or down as needed!
