Some models have a fixed wheel on the front, which makes it more stable when you're running. Some models have an swivel wheel that can be locked to allow you to move over uneven surfaces.
The type of tyre is also important. Many all-terrain strollers use air-filled tires that provide an easy ride, but can puncture. Some have a foam or gel-filled tyre that are less likely to puncture, but they will add weight to the pushchair.

Folding
The majority of pushchairs fold. They require less space in your home and are more convenient to store in the car's boot, making them perfect for those who are short on space or have a small car boot or are planning on doing lots of travelling as families.
There are many kinds of folds. So, pick one that fits your lifestyle and requirements. For instance some of the most recent buggy models feature a revolutionary auto-fold system that folds at the simple press of a button. This allows you to hold your child as well as other children or bags using both hands. It is also ideal for parents who have back problems or who are recovering from C-sections.
Other models are designed to fold more traditionally, with the seat still on, which means they'll weigh a bit more and may not be as comfortable to fit in your car or boot. Some models will require two hands or more to fold. This could be a problem for parents who want to hold their child while folding.
If you're looking for an easy umbrella fold or a more complex mechanism, it's important to ensure that the pushchair you choose can cope with the terrain you'll be using it on. For example, if you'll be navigating many cobblestones or gravel tracks, then ensure that the wheels are made of air-filled tyres to offer a more comfortable ride for your child.
If you intend to use your pushchair mostly on paved roads or pavements the majority of three-wheelers come with tires that are moulded to provide your child with a comfortable ride. But, if you'll be taking your child off-road or on dirt choose an option with a set of removable guards for mud and a quick-release front wheel to keep your pushing kit looking its best.
