Stability

The larger the wheels of your pushchair the better they are able to be able to handle rough terrain and even the ground. This is because bigger wheels are more likely to skid' on bumps and dips. The larger wheels also provide a more comfortable ride for your child. The drawback is that the additional wheels can take up space in the car boot. Some models of pushchairs with big front wheels will need to be removed in order to keep them flat.

All-terrain pushchairs are designed to withstand everything from high-street strolls to woodland walks, and are equipped with features that let them accomplish this, including sturdy suspension and huge puncture-proof tyres.

Manoeuvrability

A 3-wheel pushchair can be more maneuverable and manage than a 4-wheeler, due to the single front wheel making it easy to navigate over bumps or rough terrain. Many models come with suspension systems that absorb shocks and provide your child with an easy ride. MFM's Kath tried a tri-wheeled buggie and was amazed by how well it handled uneven pavements, cobblestones, and dirt tracks. She was able to easily get up and down kerbs, and the wheels were quick to negotiate over grass too.

Some all-terrain strollers are equipped with foam-filled "never flat" tyres, which don't require pumping. This makes them more convenient and comfortable to use for long walks or for regular use. These types of pushchairs are generally heavier and bulkier than other choices. It is important to consider the method you'll use to transport them or store them when you choose the model you prefer.

Weight

Generally speaking 3 wheel pushchairs-wheel pushchairs tend be heavier and larger than standard pushchairs, especially when they come with large back wheels. This can make it difficult to lift the pushchair when folded, for example when loading it into the car boot or going up the stairs. This can make the pushchair feel heavy and restrict your ability to maneuver through narrow aisles or spaces.

All-terrain strollers are designed to be used on different terrains like uneven and rough ground, mud, and gravel paths.

It's also designed to be suitable for jogging once your baby is old enough, thanks to a 360-degree locking swivel front wheel that can be locked and a suspension that can be adjusted.
