Folding is simple
If you're planning on using your buggy often and need a three-wheeler that has easy folding wheels is a great choice. This will help you save time when it comes to loading the buggy into and out of your car, or into a tight spot such as an aisle in a supermarket.
Some brands promote the fact that their pushchairs can be folded easily and quickly. This can be a huge selling point, particularly when you'll be using your buggy for getting off and on public transport or often in and out of your car.
There are a variety of options for the simple and quick folding system. Many lightweight buggies come with an easy pull-hand mechanism that lets you fold the frame quickly and effortlessly. The renowned Priam stroller, which was awarded silver in the MFM lightweight buggie review in 2014 is one of these. The Baby Jogger City Mini has an innovative quick fold mechanism that can be folded in 5 seconds with just one hand.
If you plan to use the pushchair for walking in urban areas, or with an infant car seat or carrycot, it is crucial to choose a stroller that is easy to fold. If you need your buggy to be stable enough to walk over uneven ground, or bump up and down curbs, then a four-wheeler is the best choice. They tend to be more sturdy and less likely to fall over than three-wheelers.
If you plan to be driving your buggy through rural areas or on unpaved tracks, you should look for models with tyres filled with air (sometimes known as pneumatic) because they will be able to be more able to handle rough terrain than moulded wheels.

You can test the pushchair on various types of terrain in the store if you are unsure of what type of terrain you'll use it for. Some models have a range features that can help you adapt your stroller to different terrains. These include a suspension system as well as extra large puncture resistant tyres, and the capability to upgrade tyre sets to handle more difficult conditions.
Easy to clean
As most parents are aware the price of a pushchair is typically expensive, so it is essential to keep it looking nice and operating properly. The best way to achieve this is to clean it on a regular basis. A thorough wipe down with soapy water warm and warm will remove most marks and dirt however, it's recommended to make use of a brush and hose pipe (on a low setting) to reach the corners, nooks and crannies of your pram/stroller. It's worth doing this outside on an overcast day, and then tipping it upside down as much as you can to ensure you get into the wheels and mechanisms where dirt tends to accumulate.
If you're worried about staining Try a solution of vinegar and water or bicarbonate of soda on a cloth. Both can remove staining that is difficult to remove and neutralize odors. Regularly wiping the surface with warm water can stop mould from growing which is not just unpleasant, but also unsanitary to allow babies and toddlers sit on.
The manual is among the best ways to maintain the condition of your pushchair and clean. It will give you helpful information on how to assemble and disassemble your stroller, as well as details about the material. The manual will tell you how to clean the fabric sections as well as the hood and other components of the buggy (everyone recommends washing them at least two times every week) and that you should check the air pressure in the tyres frequently (normally indicated by the manual).
The chassis and moving parts of the majority of pushchairs can wear out over time due to their constant use. This can result in loose bolts and nuts, or even corrosion when left unattended. It is essential to check your pushchair for signs of wear regularly. If you notice any issues ensure that you contact the manufacturer as soon as you can. This will keep your pushchair working properly and prevent any safety issues.
Easy to transport
A 3-wheeler pushchair is much more maneuverable than a 4-wheel model. This is especially true if the rear wheels are big and designed to handle rough terrain. It is possible to easily move them across the street and over bumps. All-terrain pushchairs are ideal for those who reside in rural areas or take their baby or toddler out for walks frequently over rough terrain. They are ideal for walks in the woods and for rough terrain and are able to attach your car seat or infant carrier for an all-in-one solution.
Most all-terrain pushchairs come with large, puncture-proof tires that are designed to be strong enough to cope with bumpy and uneven surfaces. However, many of them still have good suspension too to assist you in navigating difficult areas and make the ride as comfortable as possible for your child. They are also quite heavy so they can be difficult to carry when folded, particularly when you're using them for children in the seat and have lots of shopping bags.
Consider the size of the basket on the 3 wheeler you're considering. Some have smaller shopping baskets than their four-wheel counterparts. If you're going to be doing a lot of shopping or have a growing infant or toddler, you may need to find a larger pushchair that can meet your changing requirements.
