Baby Jogger Summit XC All Terrain Pushchair
If straying onto the green stuff at the park is what you mean by 'all terrain' then almost any three wheeled pushchair will probably do it for you, and in recent years we have seen most manufacturers and retailers call their products 'all terrain' to the point where the term can now seem almost meaningless !
By 'all terrain' we mean a pushchair which will take you off road - across farmland, through woodlands, traverse moors, navigate streams, conquer sand dunes - as well as the handle the bustle of the city
do it with ease, in comfort for the occupant, and with style
where the primary limitation on where you can go is your ability to get a secure foothold
for the pushchair to do that without excessive wear and tear to the product, i.e. it will last
and where you end up wanting to do it again...
rather than dreading it !
In the past this has meant a fixed wheel pushchair which is not easily deflected by rough terrain, a pushchair with the weight predominantly over the rear - reduced weight over the front wheel so it is still easy to steer. The problem with a standard swivel wheel pushchair is that the wheel locks tucked under the pushchair with too much weight over it.
The Baby Jogger Summit XC sweeps aside these 'rules' by a few simply, effective design details:
reverse locked front wheel
- it locks protruding forwards, on rough ground the longer wheel base takes obstacles in it's stride where the 'snub nosed' swivel wheel pushchair would dig in
front wheel suspension
- absorbs the shock which a protruding front wheel with weight behind it, rather than a tucked under front wheel with weight over it, might otherwise jar against an obstacle
rear wheel suspension
- controlled up/down, front/back movement, with no disconcerting lateral wobble
fixed handlebar
- positive action, push down on the handle and the pushchair moves as you direct none of the flex/lag of an adjustable handle (which can have a tendency to get 'sloppy' if used consistently on rough ground)
The original Baby Jogger concept for the Summit was for a hybrid urban/jogging pushchair a more all round user friendly but less ernestly professional running machine than the
Baby Jogger Performance
. We do not sell it for that purpose and advise that if used in the locked mode on smooth surfaces the pushchair can 'wander' due to the slight play in the front wheel lock - used off road the rough ground deflects the steering from true by a greater amount so this wander is not important.
As you would expect from Baby Jogger you also get as standard a reassuringly solid frame and the remarkable
Summit XC Quick Fold Mechanism
which never fails to impress.
Then when you start to play with it you will appreciate how well the features they have built in can benefit you.

As a retailer we can't help but ponder one question - 'why isn't this more expensive ?' The Baby Jogger brand may not be as well known as some others in the UK market but what is clear that it is no longer necessary to pay excessive prices for a top quality pushchair.
