Stability
Parents are often frightened by the stories of three-wheel pushchairs tipping over. But this is usually because of poor or poorly-constructed models. It is crucial to test the stability of a three-wheeler by physically trying it out. It is also important to consider how it is simple to change direction or swerve using the front wheel alone and how quick it can be done.
If you're planning to use your pushchair off-roading, opt for a model that has air-filled tyres (sometimes called pneumatic tyres) which can withstand rough terrain. These tyres can handle the bumps and lumps of muddy paths or gravel tracks better than plastic wheels that have been moulded and give your child an enjoyable ride. Some models come with a lockable wheel on the front that can be used on rough terrain.
