It doesn’t matter if you prefer an easy umbrella fold or a more intricate mechanism, it’s worth checking that the pushchair you choose can cope with the terrain you’ll be using it on. For instance, if it’s likely that you’ll be driving through many cobblestones or gravel tracks, make sure the wheels are made from air-filled tyres that will provide an easier ride for your baby.
If you plan to use your pushchair mostly on paved roads or pavements, then most three-wheelers will come with tires that are moulded to allow your child to enjoy a smooth ride. But, if you’ll be traveling with your baby off-road or on rough ground, go for an option equipped with removable mudguards and/or a quick-release front wheel that will help keep your pushchair looking its best.
