We researched the Fox 5 for families who walk a lot on grass, gravel and rough footpaths. It has large puncture-proof wheels with suspension, a roomy bassinet for the newborn months, then a seat that faces you or the world, and Bugaboo lists it at about 12.3 kg. Reviewers at Tom's Guide and Mumsnet praised the push on rough ground and the one-hand fold. The trade-offs: it costs well over most prams, the big wheels make the fold bulky in small boots, it is a single pram only, and the handful of Australian owner reviews on ProductReview are lukewarm on value. Buying direct from Bugaboo adds a longer warranty.
