Look for designs with front wheels that can be locked or turned. This will give you more flexibility. Larger wheels on the front and back offer an easier ride on different terrains.
Manoeuvrability
A 3 wheel pushchair is an excellent option for those looking to be able to move easily. The wheels are close which allows the chassis to turn and turn more easily than a four wheel pushchair. This makes them suitable for busy streets and shops. Some models even have a pair of front wheels that can be locked and swivelled to provide extra manoeuvrability when needed. The Roma Atlas, for example has two wheels placed close together in front and an innovative swivel lock that gives the flexibility of a 3-wheeler with added stability.
