Stability
Parents are often put off by tales of three-wheeled pushchairs tipping over. This is usually due to poor or poorly built models.

These tyres can take the bumps and bumps of muddy paths or gravel tracks far better than moulded plastic wheels that give your child an enjoyable ride. Some models come with a lockable front wheel that can be used when you're riding on rough terrain as well.
