Wheels
The wheels are what move the pram and provide your child a safe ride. There are three standard wheel types: foam, rubber, and EVA (a harder plastic type). Each wheel type has its pros and con depending on how you plan to use your folding stroller.
Rubber wheels are the most common and offer great grip on all surfaces. They are prone to puncturing using a compressor for car tyres to over inflate them. However, this is usually due to someone over inflating them, and isn't an everyday problem. This type of wheel is typically used on all-terrain buggies as well as buggies that run.
PU or Polyurethane wheels are filled with foam so they are lighter than rubber tyres. They don't have the same shock-absorbing capabilities and may feel more harsh on concrete surfaces that are rough. They are more prevalent on strollers than in prams, and are the cheapest option.

Some pushchairs also have a mid-wheel brake for added stability and control.
