Strollers
There are many strollers on the market that are designed to meet the needs of a particular group of people.

Three wheel pushchairs usually have a single wheel on the front, making them more maneuverable than other models. This makes them ideal for narrow aisles and streets in stores where space is at a premium. Think about an all-terrain stroller when you intend to utilize it in a variety of environments. With tyres that are tough, they can tackle bumps and rough terrain more quickly than a standard stroller. Some strollers have suspensions to ensure a more comfortable ride.
Some all-terrain strollers are designed to be jogging buggies as well. This is ideal for parents who want to stay active and enjoy a brisk stroll or run with their child in tow.

It's worth taking your stroller for an initial test ride to see how it rides and how easily it can be controlled. You'll need to decide if you prefer air-filled or foam-filled tyres. Air-filled tyres are generally more durable, but they're also susceptible to punctures so you'll need an repair kit on hand.

Other joggers that are suitable can be used to stroll through the city, for example the UPPAbaby Ridge Stroller Jake or the Baby Jogger Jet City Elite 2.

Others come with a swivel rear wheel that can be locked into place to help you manoeuvre on uneven surfaces.
The type of tyre is also important. A lot of all-terrain pushchairs have air-filled tyres, which create an easy ride, but they can puncture easily. Some pushchairs have the gel- or foam-filled tire that is less likely to puncture. However, it can increase the weight of the pushchair.

This leaves your hands free to juggle a baby, bags, or other children and is ideal for parents who have back issues or recovering from C-sections.
Other models are designed to fold more conventionally, with the seat still on, so they'll weigh a bit more and might not fit as snugly in your car boot. Certain models require two hands or more to fold. This could pose a problem for parents who want to hold their child while folding.
Whether you prefer a simple umbrella fold or a more intricate mechanism, it's worth checking that the pushchair you choose can cope with the terrain you'll be riding it on. If you're planning on navigating a lot of cobblestones and gravel tracks, then tyres that are filled with air will give you a more comfortable ride.
If you plan to use your pushchair mostly on paved roads or pavements the majority of three-wheelers have moulded tires that will provide your child with a comfortable ride. However, if you'll be taking your child off-road or on rough ground, go for one that comes with a set of movable or quick-release front wheel that will help keep your pushing kit looking its best.
