Strollers
There's a wide selection of strollers on the market, all designed to meet the needs of different people. Some are specifically designed for multiple infants (twins or with a tiny age gap) and others are suitable for singletons and the rest are made to fit children as young as of four years. Certain products have safety guidelines that must be followed. For example the child's seat or cot for carrying must be secured with a secure strap and should not extend further than 20cm away from the frame's edge.
Three-wheel pushchairs are easier to maneuver since they have just one front wheel. This makes them ideal for narrow streets and store aisles where space is limited.

Some strollers come with suspensions to help make the ride more comfortable.

It's worth taking your stroller out for an initial test ride to see how it rides and how well it handles. It's also important to determine which type of tyres prefer, whether they're filled with air or foam. Air-filled tyres are more durable, but they are also more susceptible to punctures. You'll require a repair kit carry around with you.

They're also typically larger and heavier, making them less suitable for everyday use, unless you plan to go on an occasional run.

Certain models come with a swivel wheel that can be locked into place to make it easier to maneuver on uneven surfaces.
The type of tyre you choose is also important. Many all-terrain strollers are equipped with air-filled tires that provide a smooth ride, but they can puncture. Some have a gel-filled or foam-filled tyre that are less likely to puncture, but they will increase the weight of the pushchair.

Folding
A lot of the most sought-after pushchairs fold. They require less space in your home and are also easier to fit in the car's boot which is ideal when you're in a tight space or have a tiny car boot or are planning to travel a lot as a family.
There are many different fold styles, so you need to look for one that suits your lifestyle and needs. Some of the latest buggys feature an auto-fold, which collapses by itself with just the push of a button. This lets you hold your baby, other children or bags with both hands. It is also ideal for parents who suffer from back problems or are recovering from C-sections.
Other models are designed to fold more traditional and with the seat in place, which means they'll be a little bulkier and may not fit as snugly in your car or boot. Some of these will also require a couple of hands to fold, which can be a problem if you need to fold it while holding onto your child.
If you're looking for an easy umbrella fold or a more intricate mechanism, it's worth checking that the stroller you select can cope with the terrain you'll be riding on. If you plan to navigate lots of cobblestones or gravel tracks, then air-filled tyres will offer a more comfortable ride.
If you plan to use your pushchair primarily on roads that are paved or pavements and roads, then the majority of three-wheelers have tires that are molded to give your baby an easy ride. However, if you'll be traveling with your baby off-road or on dirt, go for a model equipped with removable or quick-release front wheel to keep your pushchair looking its best.
