Easy to fold
If you plan on taking your buggy around frequently, consider choosing a three-wheeler that's easy to fold. This will help you save time when you need to load the buggy into and out of your vehicle or in a tight area such as an aisle in a supermarket.
Certain brands make it a key selling feature that their pushchairs are easy and simple to fold. This can be a huge selling point, particularly if you're going to use your buggy a lot for getting off and on public transport or often in and out of your car.
There are a lot of options available for an easy and quick folding system. Many lightweight buggies have a neat one-handed pull mechanism that allows you to quickly and effortlessly fold the frame. The well-known Priam stroller, which was awarded silver at the MFM lightweight buggie review in 2014, is one of these. The Baby Jogger City Mini also boasts a patented quick-fold system that requires just one hand needed and can fold flat in less than five minutes.
If you are planning to use the pushchair to walk in urban areas, or with a car seat or carrycot, it is important to choose a pushchair that folds easily. If you require the buggy to be stable enough for walking over uneven ground or bouncing on and down curbs, you should go with a four-wheeler as they are more likely to have better stability and are less likely to tip over than three-wheelers.
If you are planning on driving your buggy through rural areas or on non-paved tracks, you should look for a model with air-filled tyres (sometimes known as pneumatic) as these will be more able to handle rough terrain than wheels that have been moulded. Certain models also have a lockable front wheel for added stability over tough surfaces. If you're not sure what kind of terrain you will use your pushchair for, try to test it in the store by pushing it across different kinds of ground. Some models offer a range of features to help you adapt your pushchair to various types of terrain, like suspension systems and large puncture-proof tyres. These also let you upgrade to more tyre sets to tackle more difficult conditions.
Easy to clean
As many parents will know that a pushchair can be expensive, which is why it is essential to keep it looking good and working well. Cleaning it regularly is the best way to achieve this. It's best to wipe it clean using soapy water and warm water to get rid of most dirt and marks. However 3 wheeled pushchair can also employ a brush or hosepipe (on low setting) to reach the corners and crevices of your stroller. It is best to do this on an unseasonably warm, dry day. It is recommended to turn the stroller upside-down and use a brush.
If you're worried about stains on your clothes, consider a solution consisting of water and vinegar. You can also apply bicarbonate soda on a piece of cloth. Both can remove staining that is difficult to remove and neutralize odors. A regular wipe down with warm water can stop any mould from forming in the first place. This isn't just unsightly, but also can be harmful for babies and toddlers to sit on.
One of the best tips to keep your pushchair clean and in good operating condition is to read the manual. The manual will give you information on how to put together and disassemble your pushchair as well as information on the materials. The manual will tell you how to wash 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 on a regular basis (normally indicated by the manual).
Because the majority of pushchairs are used often the chassis and moving parts are exposed to a lot wear and tear over the course of time. If left unattended, this could result in loose nuts and bolts or even rust, so it's a good idea to inspect your stroller regularly for signs of wear. If there's any issue ensure that you notify the manufacturer as quickly as possible. This will ensure that your pushchair working properly and prevent any safety issues.
Easy to transport

All-terrain pushchairs are perfect for those who live in rural areas or take their baby or toddler out for walks frequently on rough terrain. They are ideal for walks in the woods and tackling tricky ground with a lot of them equipped to connect to your car seat or infant carrier to provide an all-in-one solution.
Most all-terrain pushchairs come with large, puncture-proof tyres which are designed to be strong enough to handle bumpy and uneven surfaces. However, many of them still have good suspension too to help you navigate difficult areas and ensure that the ride is as comfortable as it can be for your child. They also tend to be quite heavy, which means they may be difficult to fold, especially when you're using them with children in the seat and have a lot of shopping bags.
Another thing to think about is the size of the basket on the pushchair with 3 wheels you're looking at. A lot of them have smaller shopping baskets than their four-wheel counterparts. If you intend to go on a lot of shopping or have a growing child you might need a larger stroller that is able to accommodate your needs.
