This allows you to hold your child or other children, or even bags with both hands. It's also ideal for parents who have back issues or are recovering from C-sections.
Some models fold more conventionally with the seat on. This means that they are more bulky and may not fit as tightly in your vehicle's boot. Some models will require two hands or more to fold. This could pose a problem for parents who want to hold their child while folding.
If you're looking for an easy umbrella fold or a more intricate mechanism, you should ensure that the pushchair you choose will be able to cope with the terrain you'll be using it on. For example, if you'll be navigating many cobblestones or gravel tracks then make sure the wheels are made of air-filled tyres for the most comfortable ride for your baby.
If you intend to use your pushchair mostly on paved roads or pavements and roads, then the majority of three-wheelers have moulded tires that will provide your child with a comfortable ride. If you're taking your child off-road or on dirt, go for one with a set of removable mudguards and/or a quick-release front wheel that will help keep your pushchair looking its best.
