However, be aware that when it comes to pushing over bumps and dips, the seats aren't completely flat - as per EU regulations, they are required to meet minimum requirements for recline of around 150deg. Certain brands, such as Graco, have overcome this issue with their "comfitech" suspension in the seat that allows the seat to recline at a slightly more flatter angle for a little more comfort. This feature is available on the Lila XP All-Terrain Pushchair, which can be combined with an appropriate Graco Infant Car Seat to create a three-in-one travel system.
