If you're planning to use your buggy frequently, a three-wheeler with easy folding wheels is a good choice. This will make it easier when you have to load the buggy in and out of a car or into a tiny space, like an aisle at a supermarket.

A lot of lightweight buggies have a neat one hand pull mechanism that allows you to fold the frame quickly and effortlessly. The popular Priam stroller, which took home silver in the MFM lightweight buggie review in 2014 is one of these. The Baby Jogger City Mini has a patented quick fold system that allows it to be folded in just five seconds with only one hand.
If you are planning to use the pushchair for walking in urban areas, or even with an infant car seat or carrycot, it's important to choose a pushchair that is easy to fold. If you need the buggy to be stable when walking on uneven ground or bumping up and down curbs, you should go with a four-wheeler as they are more likely to have better stability and are less likely to be swept over than three-wheelers.

Easy to clean
As most parents are aware, a pushchair is usually expensive, so it's essential to keep it in good condition and working well. The best way to achieve this is to clean it on a regular basis. It is recommended to wipe it clean with warm, soapy water to remove most dirt and marks. However you can also employ a brush or hosepipe (on low setting) to reach the corners and crevices of your stroller. It's best to do this outside on an overcast day, and then tipping it upside down as much as you can to ensure you get inside the wheels and mechanisms, where dirt often collects.
If you are worried about staining your clothes, consider a solution consisting of water and vinegar. Also, you can apply bicarbonate soda on the cloth. Both can lift staining and neutralize odours. A regular wipe down using warm water will stop any mould from forming in the first place. This isn't just unsightly, but also can be unhygienic for toddlers and infants to sit on.
The manual is among the best ways to keep your pushchair in good shape and clean. The manual contains information on how to assemble and disassemble your pushchair and will also provide information about the materials. It will also tell you how often the fabric sections and hood should be cleaned (everyone recommends at least two times every week) and it's a good idea to check the air pressure of the tyres on regular basis (typically indicated in the manual).
The metal chassis and moving parts of the majority of pushchairs will wear in time due to their constant use. This can lead to loose nuts and bolts, or even corrosion in the event of neglect. It's important to check your pushchair for signs of wear and tear regularly. Contact the manufacturer immediately if you spot any problems. This will not only help keep your pushchair in good condition but also help prevent any security issues that may result from defective equipment.
Easy to transport
A pushchair with 3 wheels offers you a lot more maneuverability than the standard 4-wheel model, especially if your model has large rear wheels that are designed to tackle rough terrain. It is possible to easily move them up and down the street and over bumps. If you reside in a rural location or frequently take your baby or toddler on walks over rough ground and muddy terrain, then an all-terrain pushchair could be the best fit. They're great for strolls in the woods and for rough terrain and are capable of attaching to your car seat or infant carrier to provide an all-in-one solution.
All-terrain pushchairs are equipped with large, puncture resistant tyres that are specifically designed to handle uneven and bumpy surfaces. A lot of them come with good suspension to aid you in maneuvering difficult areas and make the ride comfortable for your child. They can also be heavy which makes them difficult to lift when they are folded. This is especially the case in the case of children in your seat and a lot of bags.
Think about the size of the basket on the 3 wheeler you are considering. Many 3 wheelers have smaller baskets than their 4 wheel counterparts. If you're going to be shopping a lot, or if you have a growing infant or toddler, you may require a larger pushchair that can meet your changing needs.
