Mountain Buggy Terrain
Pros
- Massive 16-inch rear tires take exposed roots and curb drops without passing the impact to the seat
Cons
- Steep learning curve for the folding mechanism
Our Verdict: Mountain Buggy Terrain
The Mountain Buggy Terrain scored 82 out of 100 across the five criteria we score every jogging stroller on, and took Best for Roots and Curb Drops in our jogging stroller guide.
The big 16-inch rear tires do the work. Exposed roots and curb drops did not travel up to the seat, which is how it scored 9 for ride.
Folding it is the hard part. The testers described a steep learning curve for the mechanism, and that holds the fold score to 6.
