Manoeuvrability

Stability
The type of wheels you select will be important if you are planning to take your pushchair on rough terrain or off-road. Larger wheels offer greater suspension to give you a smoother ride and may assist you in navigating obstacles like kerbs, stones or cobbles more easily than smaller ones. Some models feature a lockable wheel on the front, which provides additional stability when riding on uneven terrain.
You can also select an electric pushchair that is filled with foam never-flat tyres that are more resistant to punctures than standard rubber tyres. These tyres may cost a little more than air-filled ones but you'll save money on tyres that need to be replaced and time spent waiting in the garage or at the service station.
A single front wheel could be a disadvantage if you intend to take your pushchair over rough terrain and over hilly or uneven surfaces, especially when you'll be carrying heavy bags or walking through thick mud. Some manufacturers address this issue by designing their pushchairs with a centre of gravity that's located closer to the seat, to spread the weight over the rear wheels.
Certain models can be used both off-road and in towns. They're great for strolling along trails in the woods or on sandy beaches. The iCandy Core, for example is a model with a longer wheelbase than a standard pushchair, and bigger wheels that according MFM's Tara, "perform well on grass roads, gravel roads, and cobbles from the market town."

However, many models fold flat and are freestanding when folded - perfect for storage and travelling.
