Stability
Many parents are dissuaded from buying three wheel pushchairs by stories of them tipping over, but this is usually due to poor quality or poorly designed models. It is important to test the stability of a 3-wheeler by putting it to the test physically. It is also important to think about how fast you can change directions with the front wheel and how easily it can be done.
If you're planning to use your pushchair off-roading, opt for a design with air-filled tyres (sometimes called pneumatic tyres) that can cope with rough terrain. These tyres can take the bumps and bumps of muddy paths or gravel tracks much better than plastic wheels that have been moulded and give your child a smooth ride. Some models have a lockable front wheel that can be used when you're going over really rough ground too.

It may be difficult to lift them up, so you should try one out in person to gauge how heavy they are.
