Find models with front wheels that can be locked or swivelled. This gives you more flexibility. Larger wheels both front and back also offer a more comfortable ride on various terrains.

Manoeuvrability

Some even have a pair of front wheels that can be locked and swivelled to provide extra maneuverability when needed. The Roma Atlas, for example, has two wheels positioned close to each other at the front, and a clever swivel lock that gives the ability to maneuver like three wheels, with added stability.
