Strollers
There's a wide selection of strollers available, all designed to meet different needs.

The rest are designed to accommodate children aged from birth to four. Some of these products have safety guidelines which must be adhered to. For example, any child seat or carrying cot must be secured securely and should not extend more than 20cm from the frame's edge.
Three wheel pushchairs usually have a single front wheel making them more maneuverable than other models. This makes them perfect for narrow streets and aisles in stores where space is limited.

Some models even come with suspension to to make the ride more comfortable for your toddler or baby.

If you're planning to jog with your stroller, you should consider taking a test drive to see how you find the experience and how easy it is to control. You'll also need to decide which type of tyres you prefer, whether they're foam-filled or air-filled. Air-filled tyres tend to be more durable however they are more susceptible to punctures. You'll require a repair kit keep with you.

Depending on the age of your child, you might be able to transition from using a carrycot or infant car seat to one of these strollers without too much difficulty. However, it's best to check with your pediatric physician first, especially if they recommend waiting until your child is at least six months old.

Look for a model with a handlebar that can be adjusted in height that can be used if you and your partner have different heights. You should consider whether you need a wrist strap to prevent it from rolling off on hills or slopes. Some models have a fixed wheel on the front, which makes it easier to control when you're running. Some models have an swivel wheels that can be locked into place to make it easier to navigate on uneven surfaces.
The type of tyre is also important. Many all-terrain strollers are equipped with air-filled tires, which provide a smooth ride, but they can puncture. Some come with a foam or gel-filled tyre that are less likely to puncture, but can increase the weight of the pushchair.
A good all-terrain stroller will come with a large basket that can be used for carrying your baby's groceries. Some will have a convenient compact fold that can be folded in one hand to make it easier to put it away when not being used. Most often, they include a raincover and a footmuff.

Folding
Many of the most well-known pushchairs are folding models. They are simple to store at home, and can easily fit in the trunk of your car. This is ideal if your car boot is small, or if plan on travelling a lot with your family.
There are a variety of fold types, so look for one that suits your lifestyle and requirements. The latest models of buggy have an auto-fold feature that collapses by itself with just the push of a button. This frees your hands to juggle a baby, bags, or other children and is ideal for parents who have back issues or recovering from C-sections.
Some models are designed to fold more conventionally with the seat on, so they'll be heavier and may not fit as snugly in your boot or car. Some of these will also require two or more hands to fold, which could be a problem if you want to do it whilst holding onto your child.
If you're looking for a simple umbrella fold or a more complicated mechanism, you should ensure that the stroller you select will be able to cope with the terrain you'll be riding on. If you plan to navigate lots of cobblestones or gravel tracks, then air-filled tyres will offer an easier ride.
If you intend to use your pushchair primarily on paved roads or pavements the majority of three-wheelers have moulded tires that will give your baby an easy ride. If you're planning to transport your child off-road or on rough terrain, you should choose a model that has removable mudguards, and/or an front wheel that has quick-release. This will make your pushchair look its best.
