If you plan to use it in both rural and urban environments, you should choose an air-filled model (also called pneumatic tyres). They can be used on paved and rough surfaces.
Easy to manoeuvre
A 3-wheeler is easier to maneuver on rough terrain due to having one wheel in front and two in the back.

A lot of 3 wheeler pushchair s are designed to be all-terrain pushchairs. These are equipped with special features that allow them to take on any terrain, including muddy and sandy paths as well as stony and uneven terrain. They're typically bigger than standard pushchairs and some have large, puncture-proof wheels that are ideal for all-terrain use. The additional wheels will make the size and weight of the stroller, so keep this in mind when choosing an all-terrain stroller for your children.

Easy to fold
If you're planning to take your buggy on the road a lot, it's worth opting for a three-wheeler that's easy to fold. This will make it easier when you have to load the buggy into and out of a car, or into a smaller space, like an aisle in a grocery store.
Some brands market the fact that their pushchairs can be folded easily and quickly. This is an important selling point, particularly if you use your buggy to get on and off public transportation or in and out of your car often.
For a quick and simple folding system, there are plenty of options to choose from. Many of the lightweight buggies feature an innovative one-hand pull mechanism that allows you to fold the frame quickly and easily. The well-known Priam stroller, which won silver at the MFM lightweight buggie review in 2014 is one of these. The Baby Jogger City Mini has a patent-pending quick fold system that allows it to be folded in just five seconds using just one hand.
The choice of a pushchair that folds easily is crucial when you intend to use it for walking in urban areas, or with a child car seat or carry cot. If you want the buggy to be stable to traverse uneven ground or to bump up and down curbs, then a four-wheeler is the best choice. They tend to be more sturdy and less likely to topple over than three-wheelers.
If you're planning on driving your buggy through rural areas or on non-paved 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. Certain models also have a lockable front wheel to provide extra stability on rough terrain. Try pushing the pushchair over different types of terrain at the store if you're uncertain of the kind of terrain you'll use it for. Some models offer a range of features that will help you adapt your pushchair to various terrains, such as a suspension system and extra large puncture-proof tyres. They also allow you to upgrade to additional tyre sets to withstand more challenging conditions.
Easy to clean
As many parents will know the price of a pushchair is typically very expensive and so it is essential to keep it looking nice and functioning properly. The best way to do this is to clean it frequently. A good wipe down with soapy water warm and warm will remove most marks and dirt however, it's recommended to employ a brush and pipe for a hose (on the lowest setting) to reach the corners, nooks and crannies of your pram/stroller. It's worth doing this outside on dry days, flipping it upside down as much as possible to ensure that you get into the wheels and mechanisms, where dirt often collects.
If you're worried about stains, try a solution of vinegar and water or bicarbonate of soda on a cloth. Both of these can take out staining that is difficult to remove and neutralize smells. A regular clean-up using warm water will stop any mould from forming in the first place. This isn't only unsightly but can be unhygienic for babies and toddlers to sit on.
The manual is among the best ways to maintain a pushchair in good condition and clean. This will contain useful information about how to put together and take down your stroller and will also provide information about the materials. The manual will explain how to clean the fabric parts including the hood, hood and other parts of the buggy (everyone recommends washing them at least two times every two weeks) and also be sure to check the pressure of the air in the tyres frequently (normally stated in the manual).
Since most pushchairs are used frequently the chassis and moving parts can be subjected to a lot of wear and tear over time. This can lead to loose bolts and nuts, or even rust in the event of neglect. It is essential to check your pushchair for signs of wear frequently. If you notice any issues ensure that you contact the manufacturer as fast as you can. This will keep your pushchair working properly and prevent any safety issues.

They are often able to negotiate kerbs and bumps more quickly, so you can pop it up and down and around town without difficulty. If you reside in a rural location or often take your child or toddler out on walks over rough ground, then an all-terrain pushchair could be the best fit. These are great for walks in the woods and for those who have to tackle difficult terrain. Many of them can be attached to car seats or infant carriers for a one-stop solution.

A lot of them come with good suspension to help you navigate difficult terrains and make the ride comfortable for your child.
