Manoeuvrability
A 3-wheel pushchair is an excellent option for those looking to be able to move effortlessly.

Some models even have a pair of front wheels that can be locked and swivelled to provide extra maneuverability when needed. The Roma Atlas has two wheels at the front that are set close together and a lock that allows it to be as solid as a 3-wheeler while still having the same maneuverability.
