Stability
Many parents are turned off by three wheel pushchairs because of stories of them tipping over, but this is usually due to cheap or poorly designed models.

Also, you should consider how it is easy to change direction or turn with the single front wheel and how quickly it can be done.
If you are planning to use your pushchair on rough terrain, you should choose a model with air-filled tires (also known as pneumatic tyres).

These tyres are able to take the bumps and bumps of muddy paths or gravel tracks better than moulded plastic wheels and give your child a comfortable ride. Some models have an lockable wheel on the front, which can be used for rough terrain.
All-terrain pushchairs are heavier than standard buggies with four wheels which is why you'll need to think about the amount of space they'll occupy in your car's boot and if you'll be capable of lifting it up and down the stairs when folded. They can also be heavy to lift and move, so you should try one out in person to see how much effort you'll need to put in to get the buggy off the ground.
