I was chatting to a Mom about a stroller she was using that had air filled tires. She told me that they did a lot of off-road walking, which was the reason for buying air filled tires. One problem they had experienced was a number of punctures, probably due to the large number of hawthorn and sloe bushes we have in the area. She suggested that everyone should carry a puncture kit when off-road as any sharp object could pierce the rubber.

Choosing The Best Stroller For Your Baby
Are you struggling to decide which stroller to buy for your new baby, or have you a new addition to your family and are searching for a double stroller? There are strollers to suit every requirement. Singles, doubles, lightweight, jogging, umbrella, the manufacturers have thought of everything.
There are a number of factors you should think about when choosing. Some are safety features that you should look for with every stroller, others are extra features that may come with more expensive strollers.
Additional features are nice, but that does not mean that cheaper strollers do not offer good value for your money. Comfort for your child or children and ease of use for you is a priority, decide what is right for you and buy accordingly. Many parents are tempted to buy the latest model, only to find that it is does not fit their needs.
Five point safety harness. The five point safety harness, going over the shoulder, around the waist and between the legs, is the best harness although the three
point harness is also safe.
Check that the model has a safety mechanism to prevent the stroller from accidentally folding down.
Balance The stroller should balance well and hanging a bag on the handles is not a good idea!
Fully reclining seat. A newborn baby should have a fully reclining seat to support the neck. If you are buying for an older child this is not so important, particularly if you are looking for a less expensive, lightweight model.
Washable covers. Babies can make a mess!
Wheels. Larger wheels make for a more comfortable ride, particularly if there are shock absorbers, but of course this can result in a heavier stroller. Some tires are now air-filled.
A big size basket is always desirable unless you only want a fast, light stroller.
Most parents will probably buy two strollers as their children grow up. Newborn babies need the kind of comfort and protection from the elements that was found in the old fashioned prams once manoeuved around the park by nannies. Many modern strollers offer that degree of comfort, but they are often heavier models and as children grow they are more difficult to push. A three or four year old will be walking more, but there are still times when they need to ride. Cheap, lightweight, umbrella strollers are the ideal solution to this age range. Some makers are producing more and more lightweight models, even double strollers, that can be
used from birth through to 4 years and still be easy to manoeuvre, so it is worth shopping around.
Finally you should be very careful if you decide to buy a used model. Stick with a well known manufacturer and as well as making sure that it works properly, ensure that the model has not been recalled. You can do this at www.cpsc.gov.
