Stability
Many parents are dissuaded from buying three-wheel pushchairs due to stories of them falling over - but this is often down to poor quality or poorly designed models. It is crucial to test the stability of a 3-wheeler by putting it to the test physically. It is also important to consider how easy it is to change direction or swerve with the single front wheel and how quickly it is possible to do it.
If you are planning to use your pushchair on rough terrain, you should choose one that has air-filled tires (also known as pneumatic tyres). They can take the bumps and lumps of gravel tracks or muddy pathways. These tyres can take the bumps and lumps of muddy paths or gravel tracks far better than moulded plastic wheels and give your child a comfortable ride. Some models have an lockable wheel on the front, which can be used on rough terrain.

You should consider the amount of space they'll take in the trunk of your car and whether you'll be able to carry them up and down the stairs after they've been folded. It could be a challenge to lift them, which is why you should test them in person to gauge how heavy they are.
