For more manoeuvrability, look for a model with swivelling or lockable front wheels. The rear and front wheels that are larger also provide a more comfortable ride on different surfaces.

This makes them suitable for busy shops and streets. Some even have a pair of front wheels that can be locked and swivelled for extra manoeuvrability when needed.
