This lets you hold your child as well as other children or bags using both hands. It's also ideal for parents who suffer from back problems or who are recovering from C-sections.
Some models are designed to fold more conventionally and with the seat in place, which means they'll weigh a bit more and may not be as comfortable to fit in your car or boot. Some models require two or more hands to fold, which can be a problem if you want to do it whilst being held by your child.
It's important to check whether the pushchair is able handle the terrain you plan to use it. If you're planning on navigating many cobblestones and gravel tracks, then tyres with air will give you a more comfortable ride.
If you'll use your pushchair mostly on paved roads and pavements the majority of three-wheelers come with moulded wheels that ensure your child has an easy ride. If you're taking your little one off-road or over rough terrain choose a model with a set of removable mudguards and/or a quick-release front wheel that will help keep your pushing kit looking its best.
