The different types of tires in the stroller

Plastic or hard rubber wheels are the complete opposite of pneumatic tires. They do not have a hard layer of plastic and springs on the outside. They are used particularly often on cheap buggies, as the wheels are often kept very small.

The Air chamber wheels are a combination of both types of wheels mentioned above. They can have very different sizes. The outer shell is made of plastic and inside the plastic is filled with air. This creates several air holes that ensure a slight suspension.

tip! The air chamber wheels are a good compromise for everyone who likes to travel both in the city and in the country.
